Welcome to the XBLN GriD

Its been a long time since an Formula One game was released, let alone on the XBOX 360 but with Codemasters releasing F1 2010 in the early Autumn it is a chance for all racing drivers out there to prove their worth in XBLN's F1 events. Who shall be the next Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel or Fernando Alonso? Will you drive like a raging Red Bull or a Virgin? Don't worry about all the talk because arguments, claims and counter claims will be settled here in XBLN.net F1 2010 Events! Read on to find out more...

Magnificent Seven Series

This will be a "One Night Only" Championship which is designed more to test the online options when this title is released. There will be seven short races during the course of two hours, two of which will be chosen by the community in pre-event polls. We are planning for two 12 strong rooms at a to be announced date and time so if you buy the game keep an eye out for further announcements and don't miss out!

The same points system as used in F1 will be used for the finishing positions of each race. The person in each room who gains the most points will be the champions of the evening so be prepared for plenty of good racing and no doubt some memorable moments! Keep an eye out for the review article of the nights action on the main site, sure to contain plenty of banter about what went on and the build up for the proper championship events!

XBLN Time Trials

For those of you who like something different to wheel to wheel racing this is just for you. It will be a test of not just speed but understanding of the circuit itself and in the Time Trials it'll be all about who can save those vital few tenths of a second to come out on top. An article dedicated to this will be released soon. We shall soon see who is the speed demon of those one lap attempts.

XBLN Championship

This will be the one all of you F1 racers will be gunning for! The first season will be interesting since we won't know the quality of all the racers as of yet but I'm sure some memorable races will be had over the course of the ten race season. The "Seven" Series will be a good warm up for the big one and an article dedicated to the XBLN Championship will be released prior to the games ship date.

I hope this article gave you a good idea of what to expect and wetted your appetite for F1 on XBLN and if you have any questions please refer them to myself, Musical Venom or Steven006. Also if you haven't registered your interest in XBLN F1, please send either one of us a private message on the forums! You will be added to a driver list to receive updates and reminders about our events!

Thank you for reading and here is to good racing! Vamos!

XBLN - F1

The second manager of the month was announced today.  As you will all be aware by now, we are only having one manager win the award across all four divisions, rather than one per league.  If you are active in your FSLs, active on the forums, join in the banter, up to date with your league matches and your match reports are good, then you might stand a chance of winning.

If you have an outstanding month in the league, but you don't tick any of the other boxes, then you ain't gonna be in the running. Each admin will nominate their candidate(s) and the standout manager will take away the award as well as 300CGY, which this month will come in extremely handy as the transfer window is just around the corner.

Anyway, read on to see who made the shortlist this month

The path to glory begins right here. Enough of all the threads. Enough of all the petty bickering and dummy spitting. Enough!! A 5 game series will begin this Sunday to determine, once and for all just which team, XBLN FC or The Shifty Mofo`s can call themselves the ultimate champions. May the best team win. My money is on XBLN FC. Get yourself on the forum now to see another one of Jims threads or maybe just have your say.

Whoever you decide to root for, its gonna be interesting.

Game on!!!

It all began many years ago with the purchase of an XBox 360 in February 2006 and the game PES5.

After playing many a ranked slag and joining "An Inferior Pro Evo Site" and ProEvoNetwork, it became clear that only one site was going to be the winner, with the use of a mic and no deliberate lagging, ProEvoNetwork became the preferred choice for gaming.

Prior to that, the welcomes were posted in the forums and the games began. MaXiMuS VeNoM was one of the first opponents and we had many a challenging game against each other, with results usually, ending up good against the run of play. Within no time I found myself a member of the newly created Central League due to numbers being too great to accommodate the amount of new people signing up.

Sunday 7th February, the most important date in the NFL calender. The day America, and now most of us Brits, watch the T.V eyes wide open and take Monday off to cure a hangover as we witness the two best teams in the NFL battle it out for the top prize - The Superbowl.

Traditionally this is a time for family and friends to get together and live the experience (more commonly referred to as a Tailgate party). In line with that tradition we here at XBLN.net have origanised the first "Superbowl meetup". The City of Manchester's famous 'Hard rock Cafe' in the Printworks area will be our host for the event. We'd like to thank Dave the sales manager for allowing us to use his premises as the first meetup venue. Aready, there are around 16 PFL league members booked onto hotels with travel plans finalised, oh, and Monday booked off as the hangovers will surely kick in regardless of who wins the big one.

The night will start as soon as most folk arrive around 4:30pm on Sunday 7th February. For the main event however, we should be in the Hard Rock Cafe itself by 7pm, settling down to several quality beers, meeting the faces to names we only ever had spoken too and getting the proceedings under way. As mentioned earlier, Burnzee would like to thank Dave for giving the guys the best seats in the house for the night...right next to the big screen. If you want to join us, you are most welcome to the first and definitely not last XBLN.net tailgate party.

worldcup.pngSign up will be open from the 9.00pm 21/08/09 up until 9.00pm 28/08/09 with the event due to start on 03/09/09, which coincides with league deadline day.

With the season about to finish and FIFA 10' just round the corner it's time to say goodbye to FIFA 09' with the biggest World Cup event ever to be hosted on XBLN. 

With a very high demand for places we have decided to have a qualifying round before we get down to the nitty gritty of the last 32 World Cup proper. Depending on number signed up will determine how we sort the qualifying groups, but I expect everybody to get a minimum of two games anyway.
