IMPORTANT!
I have some bad news, guys... I knew the time would come sooner or later because it has been building up to this over the past few weeks. Unfortunately I have to work this evening, therefore I cannot join you for this evening's event. I am terribly sorry, and appreciate that it is not ideal for a staff member to pull out of an event that he is organising. Sadly this situation is unavoidable on this occasion.
However, the good news is that the event will still go ahead. I will not be available to provide technical assistance or officiate, but I will be able to administrate (switch sessions, and provide basic help) directly from the server. Also, if there are any pressing issues (such as a participant constantly joining and leaving the server due to a custom skin issue) then you can contact me by posting in this thread, and I will attempt to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
Once again, I apologise for having to do this (especially without finding another staff member to provide cover on my behalf) and the late notice. I will of course do my utmost to ensure that this does not happen again. As for the conversation that I said we would have after this evening's race, about future events and your feedback, we shall delay this until next week.
