( The notifier has never been useful )
The notifier is as useful as those who update it. I know that given the feedback here, from now on I'm going to try to pay close attention to the CoD4 and CS comps to make sure stuff goes out on the notifier for them (even if its just a link to a forum post with details), however I get the feeling that this will stop around the time that TF2 gets started.
As for the chick comp, because I didn't attend, I can't 100% confirm what happened with that, but I shall talk to Vot to see if we can improve it.

Competitions:
Though I spent most of my lan setting up my friends computers and not actually playing games, I was waiting for announcements and checking forums for funcomps. Again as per all previous lans, the announcements are usually too late (it will start in 5 minutes - good luck downloading the game, getting settings right, and just being in the room when it happens).
Firstly, I have a great level of respect for you, I know I would have just said "setup your own computer" after a while and sat down and gamed.
While in the past we have published a funcomp timetable, when it comes down to it, they are fun comps that are intended to be run hourly, and I'm not sure about last event, but in the past, when the winner has been given the prize, the next game has been mentioned, which gives you between 30 and 55 mins depending on what the game was to get it all setup. Also because they are fun comps, and not comp comps, they, in my oppinion, shouldn't be given a time table as it makes it seem a bit more rigid. None the less, I shall bring this up with Orbit (last time I checked he was still doing fun comps).
Thank's for the great feedback so far everyone!
