As a change of pace, here's one of those rare times when server downtime actually gives people a nice break.

Due to some downtime from their recent server upgrade, the Tabula Rasa team has decided to extend the deadline for submissions for the Tabula Rasa Stratics Beta Olympics until November 30th at midnight Tabula Rasa time (i.e. Austin, Texas).

That would be 1 a.m. Eastern or 10 p.m. Pacific, but if you're too lazy to look up your local time conversion tables or something, just swing by tr.stratics.com/content/olympics/ to check the contest countdown clock.

The TR Stratics Beta Olympics is a chance for gamers to snag a slot on NCSoft's Tabula Rasa closed beta tests. To enter, all of you have to do is choose from five creative events: Art Decathlon, Cross-Country Writing, Synchronized Designing, Xtreme Forum Posting, and Creative Freestyle.
