LFAnalysis now available for download… again

Another small update – go here to download your very own copy of the original LFAnalysis program to keep track of your members night stats.

I’ve used this program since it was released in 2002 to track everything from members nights to tournaments – it definitely makes stat collecting a much easier task.

There’s a known bug with the tournament module – it doesn’t work. It’ll let you generate a schedule, but if you try to actually do anything with it [i.e. actually enter games], it’ll give you a program-crashing “null” error. Just FYI.

Wait… what do you means Nationals is only 2 weeks away?

No, no it really is.

This years US Nats has the distinction of being the largest tournament we’ve ever had in this hemisphere in terms of total sites being represented (8 different sites making up 6 teams). It also marks the 3rd time that the southern hemisphere will be represented at a US nationals – the 1st time with a full 6 person team [2002 had 3 southern hemisphere players, 2004 had 5]. Given the best the northern hemisphere has ever done as far as representation in the southern hemisphere was 2 people in 2001, we really are due to repay the favor with some sort of more complete team.

Best of luck to all.

Another site update

Another huge thank you to Liro who installed the new version of WordPress and updated the theming slightly.

Definitely much win.

US and AU nats closing in, games list finally finished

Hard to believe that in roughly 6 weeks US nats will be upon us, and roughly 2 weeks after that AU/NZ nats. Where does the time go?

Well, ok – I know in my case the answer to that question is “work”, “school” and “family” (not necessarily in that order). :)

In other news, I FINALLY got the games list fully moved over. Why’d it take so long? See the above reason.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in Chula Vista – should be a good time.

Update in the Rules section

It’s not so much a change as a I finally got around to updating the shielding rule to what it was actually changed to before last AU/NZ nats.

Please go here to see the update. It essentially moves part C of the rule (which was the show a shoulder part) into part A. It’s not functionally different than before for the US version – for the AU/NZ version it added referencing to the chest sensor since AU/NZ does not consider the front of the gun to be a visible hit zone due to IR issues.

Happy Easter

I know for some of you in the southern hemisphere the day has already passed, but still :)

More LFHQ updating…

Once again we’ve been tinkering with the theming on the forum skin to try to get it linked in to the entire site a bit better. And this time it looks like it’s finally all sorted correctly – a huge thank you to Lirodon who’s been doing all of that heavy lifting for me. It may look simple (and finding the initial theme was), getting everything else to work properly menu wise was a huge PITA. Now we just need to get the images/icons updated from stock, but that’s a comparatively minor/easy process :)

Detroit Invitational coming up

This one’s come in slightly under the radar as I’ve been busy with other things, so I apologize for not publicizing it sooner.

Detroit is hosting the 2nd East Coast Tournament, calling it the Detroit Invitational this time around. Dates are set for March 15-17, $50/person, 6 person teams with events including Space Marines 5 and D&D. Please visit this thread for further information.

I’m looking forward to seeing if Syracuse can defend their 1st ECT title in Detroit’s maze, and even more looking forward to see if Detroit performs better in their own maze this time around than they did during 2009 nationals.

Best of luck to all.

More new sites coming? Yes, yes there are.

In addition to a new Laserforce site in Hawaii that just opened up in December, there are several more on the immediate horizon opening in Canada and Missouri. As soon as I have more information [little things like... specific locations, websites etc], I’ll get those posted up. It’s just really great to see that even amidst a relatively down economy, Laserforce is still out there making sales and opening up new sites.

More details as soon as I get them. :)
