This is the third installment of the monthly BSG Open. As participation levels have not been stellar, Slayer and I have decided to allow off-racers to participate IF AND ONLY IF less than 4 true BSG players sign up. If this happens, then there is no prize, just playing for the fun of it ^^ Obviously, the more BSG players that consistently sign up, the more often this tournament will happen. Also, when you sign up, be sure that you'll be able to make it. It makes it easier to see the numbers and thus create an optimal tournament. Thanks

Time:
9pm AEST Sydney time
