... BUT WAIT if you sign up NOW we'll also throw in more prizes!  Alright so that's sort of not true.  You don't have to sign up right now or call anything in the next 10 minutes but we are adding more prizes!

TotalGL has partnered up with Novint, creators of the Novint Falcon, to bring the prize pot value up and over $2,200 for Season 5! The winning team will now find themselves on the receiving end of sweet Valve gear as well as a Pistol Grip Novint Falcon Bundle valued at $270+ per unit.  If you haven't seen what the Novint falcon is all about go check it out! The company over at Novint has been huge supporters of TF2 over the past several months supporting a BBall tournament as well as a competition against their very own developers and working with them from my end has been a blast so I'm extremely excited about being able showcase their Falcon during the upcoming months.

With the addition of Novint the prizes for TotalGamingLeague Season 5 are as follows:

1st Place  - Novint Falcon Pistol Grip Bundles and Valve Gear

2nd Place - Valve Gear

3rd Place  - Valve Gear

Teams that finish the season out and avoid falling apart midway through will be put in the running for mouse pads.

We've had plenty of teams created over the past few weeks but only a few have registered for the Season 5 competition so far so lets get that number up with more teams so I can make sure the sponsors and supporters of TGL will help us out down the road with future seasons as well look to expand and upgrade our services to the community. Head on over to TotalGamingLeague and sign up through the Enlist now button!

I have had the pleasure of using a Novint Falcon before and I can attest to its awesome experience touted across various review sites.  Without going into too much detail about the item just yet (that will be coming) I will say my favorite thing in the short time I've use one is how the feedback changes from weapon to weapon and you can actually feel the weight of objects in a lot of games.  The feedback of a flamethrower is constant and differs greatly from the punch that say a Rocket launcher produces and the ability to feel a 1 to 1 like coloration between your movements and that of your character on screen is unique and intuitive.

As a league TGL has been blessed with sponsorship support, a great group of league leaders, and personally I've had the time to actually work with the league and make all of this fall into place (thank you summer for the sticky hot weather keeping me indoors :P) so all that's missing is the community and some teams to compete!

TotalGL is looking to kick the season off in just TWO weeks with our two preseason maps old time favorite cp_well and Mackey's own koth_Ashville, and while sign ups continue through the end of pre-season play I would encourage teams to sign up before and participate in the preseason matches as much as possible - theres no telling what sort of surprises might be in store for a special team or two for feedback on the preseason.... just saying.
