Stat padding. Love it, hate it, condemn it or celebrate it, it's still a huge part of our collective Grifball experience.

Tonight at 10 Eastern, the NGA is going to be holding the first ever Stat Padding Derby, where the team with the most kills for the night wins. The only reason there is a bomb is for those who prefer it as a tool of destruction! Team signups are now open. Roster size is 4-8 players and the games will be matchmaking settings (in a custom game, don't you all freak out there, players from other leagues.) Here's a fileshare link to the map and the gametype. Registrations will close at 9:45. Feel free to poke around in the forums on our site if you're looking to make a team.

So, to all the true Stat Padders out there, come show us what you've got. For the haters, why not come take the bull[true] by the horns and maybe walk away with a little understanding. You probably have a second stat padding account anyways! And to those who may have taken objection to this event, thanks for the extra press. We've decided to repay the favor and post signups merely a few hours before the event instead of a few days so your forums are easier to guard. Finally, let's all try to take a step back, turn quickly and swing...or maybe just have a good time and meet some new people. We're all about celebrating the game of Grifball, and like it or not, this is a part of it. Hope to see you there!

UPDATE: As an added bonus, we are now able to offer an 800MSP prize to the winning team for tonight's event when 8 or more teams sign up!
