hurristat. ENFP; they/them; GMT -5. Codermod! I've been running/managing fandom events and forums for roughly five or six years! But I've fallen deep into sports anime as of late. Daiya no Ace, Haikyuu!!, Kuroko no Basuke, Ookiku Furikabutte, Yowamushi Pedal, Ping Pong the Animation, Free!, Baby Steps (i know), Giant Killing
hqqt. INTJ; they/them; GMT +12. Codermod! Very into Haikyuu!! and increasingly into daiya, Chihayafuru is my one true love but I also greatly enjoy Love Live! and Baby Steps (shhh, the manga is solid). I will shove ladies in everyone's face. I was a mod here last year and had a blast so I'm looking forward to the same again!

capsoumako. INFJ; she/her; GMT -7. Graphics mod! Freestyle shipper and rare pair hunter, at your service. I'm into Free!, Ookiku Furikabutte, Haikyuu!!, Love Live!, Kuroko no Basuke, Prince of Stride, and Chihayafuru. I look forward to having a great event with all of you!

arranjar. she/her; GMT -4. Sports anime is my jam these days, namely Haikyuu!!, Daiya no Ace, Free!, Kuroko no Basuke, Yowamushi Pedal, and Love Live!, with many others on my list. Can be convinced to ship pretty much anything. Always up for talking about meta. I'm excited to help out!

In alpha order: Angelic Layer, Chihayafuru, Eyeshield 21, Free!, Haikyuu!!, HikaGo, TeniPuri, Princess Nine, YowaPeda. Also, even in sports anime, I can't escape CLAMP's gravitic pull.
lemon. INTJ; she/her; GMT -5. Your resident spicy mod for this year. All Out!!, Haikyuu!!, Kuroko no Basuke, March Comes In Like A Lion, Oofuri and Yuri On Ice are my sports jams. I love rarepairs and AUs that can make me cry. Looking forward to working with everyone this year!

- The tumblr is our announcements blog, where the mods will post rules/event clarifications, announce when rounds are open/closed, explain mod rulings, etc. If the mods need to say something and it's longer than 140 characters, it's on the tumblr.
- To get updates easily, follow our tumblr RSS feed. You can use feedmyinbox to get RSS updates sent to your e-mail inbox.
- We use twitter to give fast small updates, field questions, promote main round entries who have made it through voting, and also run little memes like #baitmesaso.
- Participant questions can be answered in under 60 seconds on the twitter, so it's great if you need an answer fast. You can DM or @ us. If it's a more complicated question, it may take longer for the mods to discuss it.
