Notes to captains:
- Can all captains please idle #crossfire.nc when possible, and can be recognised via +av
- Captains must issue their lineup by the 9th of July.
- Captains are expected to create a team page for their nation on crossfire (i.e. http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=clan&mode=item&id=3840). Once teams are made, a url to the team page must be sent to NCAdmin via crossfire pm. Once this is done, players in the team must be added by the 9th of July. A leader is responsible for adding each players ETPro GUID to the clan page. Leader rights will be removed on the 9th July, effectively locking the page, meaning any changes must be done by contacting either hentai or Rafiki.
- Players can be added at any point during the cup, but will be forced to wait 24 hours before they can play if added after 9th July. Team lineups are unlimited in size. For a player to change a GUID, approval from hentai or Rafiki must be gained.

Good luck to all Captains and nations - get your lineups together, and don't forget to post news on crossfire via the contribute url if you wish to do so!
