A great time was had by all. The Living Dead anti-Defamation League won a close battle that came down to the last minute (as usual). Troopers 13 was a great way to kick of the new year and truly has taken the slot of “Best Con Ever!”
Next Battle will be at Dartmouth College for SISMAT 2012.

Normally I do not make New Years resolutions because they are rarely kept. However, I am committed to keeping the content fresh this year. Many of you who follow PacketWars know that we do not use the website enough to communicate and promote the sport. This is not because there isn’t activity. I’m just a lazy hacker.
Some Highlights:
1. Day-Con V came and went. With the ERNW All Stars winning the coveted winners cup the second year in a row.
2. Collegiate games at Dartmouth
3. PacketWars Proshop move
4. Sanctioning and Franchise Activity
5. Platform enhancements
So I promise to try to be more diligent and leverage the site to better communicate, educate and entertain.
ERNW did it again. The best year ever at Troopers. What an awesome battle in Heidelberg’s Old Town near the University. Check out all the action in HiDef!

As the 2011 season is gearing up, we are busy confirming upcoming battles. It gives me great pleasure to confirm we will be in Heidelberg, Germany for Troopers 11. The current PacketWars HSK Invitational champs will be hosting us again this year. We encourage everyone to make the trip and see what all the buzz is about.

Help Net Security’s Zeljka Zorz wrote this great story on PacketWars. I did the original interview over a year ago and am glad to see it in print. It is a really good story and worth a read.
