Restart location?
Apr 04, 2003 23:55

Mar 29, 2003 18:56

Teams haven't playing much
Mar 21, 2003 13:27
I think 10 player .net teams are okay, cuz as I understand it, if 2 of those players play a 2-player .net team in a 2x2, it still reports. Everyone on the team doesn't need to be in the game, right El...
