That's a pretty big first day... There has to be a reason for your thinking? Well you will notice
"SHOUTCASTED" next to one game from each round. Yep, that's right. The community will have the opportunity to follow every round live, while getting to see every state go at it! Live streaming will allow you to watch some games at midday, afternoon or even at night. Or just lounge around for the day, and watch ALL the action! And of course who doesn't want to see QLD and NSW go at it!

Horus will be calling the action, with myself (yeah sorry in advance, I got peer pressured!

) giving him a helping hand along the journey.
We wanted to make sure you guys got to interact as much as possible, if you were not involved directly with the competition. Hopefully we have achieved that.

There is some downtime between all matches for players to do stuff like, I don't know... Vacuuming, dishes, go for a jog, consult your dietician, you know, all those kinds of things

Some players had prior engagements, therefore could not commit to a full day of play. I think it's fair to say the inclusions are more than worthy of a spot in their respective state.
Here is the
State Of Origin League
Also the rules can be found
HERE. Kit restrictions should spice things up
So that's about it. We only need to wait for the action to unfold. Congratulations to all the players that made it. Do your home proud and take out the first MW2 State Of Origin!!
Any queries from players competing in SoO on the day should be directed at
myself, as the other SoO admins will be competing. For any questions leading up to the event feel free to contact any of the SoO admins. Those being:
Tratty
Genx
Nuggz
