good news, bad news....
Sorry guys, I am "forced" to cancell my partecipation for the tournament. That breaks my heart a lot, friends and people that knows me might be interestend knowing the reason why, and i feel like informing them about the reason ( read the following post ). I am not quitting IL2, it's my fav game on ps3, i just don't have spare time anymore to play playstation as i used to have in the past, specially for the next months... Can't tell right now. I wish you a good, challenging, fair tournament and, may the best win! Always, take it easy this is a game!  I feel like sharing part of my private life with friend that might wanna know why i can't play anymore as i used to do, i just feel like spending more word on it. If interested, keep reading, otherwise, feel free skipping next post. Quitting few days before the torunament starts make me feel very bad toward people who spent a lot of effort and energy setting up the rule and the tournament ( the great MACADEMIC, edal86 and more... ) but i misjudged the energy i will have to spend in my incoming commitment. Tournament sadly happened just too late ... i wish it could have been settled up last year  Anyway.... The new years have brought a lot of new things ( most of them happily wished ) into my life and my little free time is getting short day by day. I 've got new timetable at my work place ( some more strict shifts ) and some great things just have happened at the beginning of the last week that had consumed all my free time, that sadly forced me to cancel my parteciaption at the tournament, because i would not be able to connect at night anymore as i used to do. ( I will have to work from 10.00 a.m. to 8.00 pm, getting home around at 9.00 p.m. so my only free time is located during night hours, that have to be optimized... main reason explained next.... ) Apart from my work, wich i could easily handle, that would not the main "problem", in my spare time i'm a jazz musician ( been playing guitar and more musical instrument for around 20 years, jazz rock pop but approached jazz music in a serious way around three years ago ) and the new years have brought me the possibility to build up a quintet after years of "underground work" with some great musician i know  and also the possibility to work, study and grow with some great and "historical" artist that lives in my city. That's mean that at night ( few free night time hours i have during the week ) i will have to do rehearsal and stay very very focused on this, spending more time studyng / arranging / composing / experimenting and practicing music as i never had done before. ( Musician i will play with have, of course, expetation, as i do, and i want to perform at the maximum of my capabilities, also, you never end learing new things in music, and, i think, life also, who knows where this path will leads me ) This is a great luck for me, but, unluck because it 's just started same time with the tournament Oh.... ehehe i also have a family, of course, luckly my wife is a musucian too ( she sings ) and support me.I won't annoy you longer with things reagaring private life not concerned to the game, so, i wish you the best and might the best win! I'll check the ladder board and results from work! ehehehe that would be fun! HUGS V. Last edited by vdomini; 01-15-2011 at 08:48 AM.

Of course I'm a bit sad that you will not be on the tournament, but thank you for taking the time to explain. I'm sure this is not easy for you since we all know how much you love this game. On the other hand I'm very happy for your opportunity. Music is a beautiful seducer - go with it! MAC Last edited by MACADEMIC; 01-15-2011 at 06:50 PM.

Hello all!
As you probably already know Vdomini had to withdraw his participation from the tournament. Therefore we unfortunately have to reduce the number of participants to 16 to ensure a fair and balanced tournament with an equal number of players in each group. The four players on the first waitinglist have been moved back to the waitinglist. We want to give all of them an equal chance to qualify for the 16th position in the tournament. The most committed and strongest player will be able to participate. The players on the waitinglist are: 1. dkwookie 2. Ratman91101 3. draux 4. JRHOODY1 Qualification Match Saturday 15/01/2011 at 2000UTC Due to the shortage of time, we cannot wait for all players to play each other like in the group phase of the tournament. Therefore, I will host a 30 minute dogfight today Saturday 15/01/2011 at 2000UTC, in which I will fly as a referee in a bomber and retire to a corner of the action respectively fly high above as to not interfere. I will be clearly distinguishable as a bomber on the map, so don't waste your time and lives with me. Map and weather will be established randomly. Players have to chose either P-51 D5 or P-51 B. Armament as per the tournament rules, landings and bomb dropping are not allowed and lead to disqualification. The player with the least amount of deaths at the end of the 30 minute qualification match will qualify for the 16th position in the tournament. If two or more players end up with the same amount of deaths, the match will be repeated until we have a clear result. The qualification match will take place if a minimum of 2 players show up. The others will have forfeited their chance to qualify. If only one player shows up, he will have qualified without having to play a match. If none shows up, we will pick one player out of the four according to the commitment and frequency of playing recently shown. I'm sorry about this late change but we have to deal with the new situation in the best possible way. If you're one of the four on the waitinglist, please indicate whether or not you're planning to take part in the qualification match later today. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for your understanding. MAC P.S.: make sure you have me on your Friends list, if it is full make room for me. I will invite everyone I can see on PSN at the stated time to join a text chat to meet before the qualification match. Last edited by MACADEMIC; 01-15-2011 at 09:31 PM.

- PSN: Reaper 1526
- 1C ID: P51 - Country: UK - Timezone UTC +/-: +/- 0 (GMT) - Languages Spoken: English - preferred playing times: More or less any with prior arangement - homemap: Dover - Internet Download/Upload Speeds: DL: 6.37 (with sister on laptop) UL: 0.38 Ping: 31 Blog: Flight 1: Myself VS Olife Turn and burn based in parts with mainly head on attacks at low level - I managed to win considering I hate head on's and 1v1's in general, I'm a team killer and fly much like Von Richtofen (spelling of the red baron's name?) I'm looking forward to our second dance of death with a very worthy adversairy. Flight2: Olife Vs Myself Very much the same as the first! Head ons and ended with a few turn and burn - crippling on the first pass and bringing him down on the turn and burn session. Great flight! Flights 3+4: Dkwookie and Myself Well, Dk is a good pilot, we had quite a good fur ball and ended with me winning both. Dk lost me a few times when I was on his tail though I got critical hits on him on most passes - I feel bad for defeating you like I did. Sorry! Flights 5 and 6: Crafty Mac! Well done to Mac, even though you insisted on using your Club Rules. I'm scared to think what you can do with an easier crate! I ended up boom and zooming him after a tense cat and mouse searching session - a devious plan to only let me get 3-0 ahead. Well flown! Flights 8+9: Kavorland The most tense match yet. The first match I lost and the second I won. If I hadn't made two mistakes then I would have drawn or even won both. Great T+B fighter. I ended up having to resort to BnZ tactics which worked for my second round - great flight! Last edited by P-51; 02-04-2011 at 05:09 PM.

Bummer! I won't be available until a few hours after that (not entirely sure when work will wrap up for the day). I'll just cross my fingers that the others might be a few hours late too. If something changes I'll just be online and waiting but i dont see me making it on that short of notice.
