Attention! Attention! PASS Time Federation is looking for new sign-ups!

Calling back to their roots, PASS Time Federation is doing a 2-3 Day Cup for players in the EU region! Looking to speed things up and add a bit of spice to PASS Time, they're looking for 16 teams of 7 capable mercs (and 2 body doubles) for a 2-3 day event of back-to-back play.

The teams will take on the cramped corners of District, the large openings of Timbertown, the frozen cargo waste of Snowylake and the new and improved Proyard to take things to the next level!

Sign-ups started on July 28 and will be open for 2 weeks! They will be closed once all 16 capable teams are found. Teams will be split up and fight in a Double Elimination Challenge bracket! Winners (and the others in second and third) will take home special PASS Time Federation medals and whatever arrives in the prize pool over the course of the event!

What are you waiting for? Sign-ups are open now!
