KSI Newsletter: October 2019
Welcome to our October Newsletter! I hope you have your witch hats and wizard wands at the ready!

It’s October and a chill is sweeping the air.

Fall Classic Update
Fall Classic has come and past. The Events were epic and everyone who showed up gave it their all. We saw Poker with the players putting their hearts “all-in”. Halo was a game of tetherball back and fourth the competitors rumbled dominating each other in Capture the Flag. We saw members flex their singing skills in Karaoke and much more…
And the winners are…

Changes to the Divisional Cup
Divisional Cup’s current format will be abandoned and re-introduced as an Annual Events competition. To win Divisional Cup, the only events that will net points will be Spring Break, Spirit Week, Donor’s Weekend, Fall Classic and Turkey Bowl.
We will still announce the Divisional Cup winner at Award Show based on the results of major events, but we will use a more well-rounded and less promoted criteria to name our Division of the Year. Division of the Year for 2019 will NOT be announced solely according to which division wins Divisional Cup. There can be a separate Divisional Cup winner and Division of the Year.

Department Operations
Leadership Changes
The News Department would like to Congratulate KSI December 77 on his promotion to Chief Department Manager!

Please congratulate KSI Scotland 7 on his many years of service and his extensive contributions to KSI Global. Scotland was originally recruited in the Fall of 2013, he has been deeply involved in both Clan and Department Operations over the course of his KSI career. It is with a bittersweet heart that we wish him the very best as he starts his well-earned retirement from the KSI Board of Directors.

Day two will happen sometime after that. And day three might be the day before Halloween. Or it might actually be Halloween. Who knows. Keep your eyes out and make SURE you follow @KSIGlobalGaming.
