Tyler, I know you're excited, but this technically does constitute spamming. In the future, please try to only make a couple of posts about the event. If we want to see the event we will, otherwise, just a summary of the results after posting that it's about to happen would be more than effective. :)

BTW, looks like they're about half way through and no major issues reported.
