A clarification has been made in relation to COO events and EH Ladder matches. A single match can count in both as long as both parties agree to this. The current EH Ladder season ends on 7th (this coming Wednesday). In addition, I've made a DB Ladder for SHW Firefox. You can ask him for more details about it.

Another reminder about academies. Seems people are deciding they can run independant training structures. This is a Bad Thing(tm) for numerous reasons and such academies will either become part of IWATS or will be shut down. It's as simple as that. Meanwhile, I'm going to be working with subgroups and their academies on arrangements. This will also coincide with a subgroup academy audit to identify weaknesses in each academy, as well as their good points so all academies can provide a high-quality, well-rounded service.

The X-Wing Mission Design and XvT Mission Design courses have changed location. Their new URLs are http://www.tiecorps.org/tac/xam and http://www.tiecorps.org/tac/xtm respectively. The course listing has also been updated to reflect this change.

Lastly, a new poll is on the site. The poll question is "IWATS and subgroup academies working together is...". Also, out of boredom and a sugar rush, I've started a runon on the TC board. You can check it out at http://www.tiecorps.org/mb/view.asp?b=1&t=6063 And congratulations to Aylius Khan on his promotion to LC :P
