Next Event: TBD 2011

Well folks we are on the eve of Halo Reach, and I have a few important updates for everyone. IT IS IMPORTAINT THAT YOU READ EVERYTHING IN THIS POST! 

First I would like to take the a moment to apologize for the lack of NTGA information as of late. Since NTGA V there has been little to no information about the future plans of NTGA. I would like to apologize for that. The honest truth is that the rest of the NTGA staff I and were just burned out, especially with Halo 3. I can’t speak for the rest of the staff, but I really wanted to enjoy what is probably my last summer in college. However I want to take this chance to say that NTGA is returning for hopefully our best season ever, featuring Halo Reach.

So all know that in less than a week Reach will drop, so what does this mean for the North Texas Gaming Association? Well I can guarantee that we will have a whole season (and more) of great completion. The Next NTGA will be in October, and will serve as our one year anniversary event.  The date and location are TBA at this time, but let it be known that NTGA VI will take place in the 10th month of the year 2010.

Now for everyone’s favorite part, the NTGA Halo Reach Rules and procedures! First off, since NTGA is replacing Halo 3 with Halo Reach, all rank points are now null. What this means is that there will be no seeding for the 4v4s based on previous events. I know some people aren’t going to like this, but since it is a new game this is the only far way to do it. However there is a consolation for those who had NTGA rank points. For NTGA VI only we are going to seed the 4v4 based on FFA performance. This means that NTGA will function exactly like an MLG Combine or Halo 2 event. After NTGA VI we will resume seeding via our point system. As for gametypes, we plan on using whatever MLG has released at the time of NTGA VI. This however, does not exempt players from reading and understanding NTGA rules, which might differ from MLG. All NTGA rules will placed on the site at least 2 weeks before the NTGA VI, and it is each and every player’s responsibility to know and abide by the rules.

We are also planning a winter event for November, as well as an NTGA / Fallout Extravaganza at MLG Dallas (Dallas is my Birthday Weekend).

So to sum it up:

• NTGA VI in October
• NTGA / Fallout / Shadow’s Birthday Party @ MLG Dallas.
• NTGA VII in November (Winter Event)
• Read the Damn Rules
• NTGA is back ----- Remember Reach
