HAPPY NEW YEAR
WIZARD NEWSLETTER January 1, 2008.
In life it’s not the cards that you are dealt that matters;
It’s how well you play the cards that you are dealt.
Tournaments
There are more and more tournaments being played than ever before.
For new players and as a refresher for the old pros a summary of how to
join an online tournament follows:
How Do I Join the Online Tournament?
1.. Wait until the stated time for registration before you “register”.
2.. At the Wizard site there are 15 rectangular boxes at the top. Click
the box marked ‘Online T.’
3.. Fill in your ‘username’ and ‘password’ then click ‘register’.
4.. Shortly after you ‘register’ your username should appear in “NEWS”
(beneath the CHAT area)
5.. Once registration is closed the Tournament director will print out
the format of the games.
For example it could be 3 tables of 6 players (18) or 4 tables of 5
players.(20)
6.. Next watch the “NEWS” area for the names of the players at each
table to be posted.
7.. One of the players at each table will act as “Host” and will set up
a game.
8.. N.B. When Hosting a Tournament game the host must scroll down to
the “Tournament Log In” which is directly below the regular ‘log-in’.
Players joining must also scroll down to the “Tournament Log-In” area
below the regular ‘log-in’ area.
9.. After the game is completed a team member must report the results
in the Chat area.
Locations

>> ‘up-in-the-air’. If you would take a minute to e-mail me your location it
>> would be much appreciated.
