New Audio tutorials
I've got two new audio tutorials ready, one for spades, and another showing how to turn typing interrupt off in jaws for the games.
Both can be found on the FAQ and tutorials page.
The typing interrupt is an important one if you are using jaws, a lot of people don't turn this off and end up missing chat, having to review play needlessly and all, much better to turn typing interrupt off, and its super easy to do as well.
The spades tutorial shows you how to get started with spades, and offers a bit of strategy as well, be sure and check this out if you'd like to join our growing community of spades players, as well as get a leg up for the real money tournament.
Here is a link to the FAQ page which has all the audio tutorials, shift enter on this and it will open in a new page:
Faq and tutorials page
If someone wants to send me info on doing this for window eyes as well, that would be cool.
Quick note, I'm going to be doing a presentation Friday on for the people at 7 PM eastern, discussing the site and the upcoming tournaments, so drop by if you like.
And now some info about our real money tournaments coming up, you can't have more fun for ten bucks:
Heads up gang, registration is now open for the real money tournaments we're having in support of For the People.
If you would like to enter the real money tournaments, either the hold em tournament, or the spades and hearts tournament, both of which guarantee at least $100 to the winners, go to this page to sign up, entry fee is $10 for each tournament:
Note that this means you can enter either tournament or both if you like.
The hearts and spades are two for one, so $10 gets you into both, and the hold em tournament is $10 separately.
For the people tournament page
