Have you registered for our first ever WikiGames yet? [closed]

Question

Our inaugural WikiGames start in just a few weeks! The goal of this 3 day event is to make our tree fuller, stronger and better connected while also having fun and making some new WikiTree friends.  You can find more details on the WikiGames Free Space page or you can also watch our recent video about this new event.

We'll have an opening ceremony on Monday, August 21, at 8 AM EDT (12pm UTC) and immediately after this teams will be announced.  

The event will officially start on Friday, August 25 at 8 AM EDT (12pm UTC) and run through Monday, August 28 at 7 AM EDT (11am UTC).  During these 71 hours, we'll have 3 events each lasting 23 hours:

• Event 1 - Sourcing Slalom
• Event 2 - Cross-Country Connecting
• Event 3 - CC7 Wall Climb

Just like our 'Thons, there will be livecast hang-outs every four hours and many chances to win WikiTree prizes!

Our WikiGames champions will be announced at the closing ceremony on Monday, August 28, at 8 AM EDT (12pm UTC).

Will you join us?

To register, just click the ANSWER button and say something like "I want to participate!"

Registration will close at midnight EDT on Wednesday, August 16.

Hope I did join.
