Re: May Monthly Challenge Tourney
No deaths by enemy action to report, but 2 pods, good turnout, 3 corps playing
Corp 1 - 5 players can use a 6th Corp 2 - 4 players can use a 5th and a 6th Corp 3 - 6 players
If you want to join, sit tight where you are, and contact the corp you want to join. Too many people are getting podded before they start by going to dock before they join a corp

So, if you want to join a corp, follow protocol and contact the CEO first, DO NOT leave sector 1 without an assist.
