We have gotten over 70 new players and 5 new teams this first week. Amazing isn't it!! We would have moved sooner had we known we would grow so well.

A lot of former players are rejoining us so its good to see them all back home.

Steps to join Gaming Peak
1. Go to http://www.gamingpeak.com/

2. In the middle of the page Under "you can come play spades now" is a blue link "register for a new account"..click that!

3. Fill out ALL the questions! Your user name will be your GTA nic Be sure you type out the things in the bottom box too!!! If you already have Peak nic, you may use the same email for your GTA nic.

4. Next step is to log in, using your GTA nic

5. They will send you an email with a validation code called "no- reply" If you don’t see it in your email, check your junk or spam…it might have gone there. If you don’t get that email, hit "resend request".

6. You must copy and paste the link they send you to verify. You cannot simply click it.

7. You will get a window that says "your account has been verified" You cannot download Gaming Peak until you get that.

8. Click on download, or use this   gamingpeak.com/download/files/setup_full.exe

Setting up your lobby chat settings
1. Top left is "options" Just like you had to do in WGC, you have to set things up the ways you want them.

2. Under "Themes" is your color options for your font.

3. You can add a person to your friends list by right clicking their nic in the list of names in the right of the room.(like in the zone)

4. There is an away button at the bottom left. Please use this when you don’t want to be asked to play.

Setting up your Table

1. Go to an empty table . The blue and red boxes at the right are the seats.

2. Check any options you would like. We are accustomed to double clicking , so you might want to dot that option.

3. The first person to sit is the host, and must hit start before the game begins.Don't hit start till all 4 players sit .

4. If you want to play with bots, hit start, and 3 bots will sit with you. Start is on the bottom right. "The box around the players nic lights up". This is whose turn it is to bid or play.

5. Click show cards. Place your bid by hitting a number, then hit bid.

6. At the bottom right you have last trick and auto play.

Changes for GTA Teams:
There is only one! We will not addy any regular format in normal games, or tc’s! If you would like to play reg, you must join ASL. Our admin will stay the same in GTA.

Changes for GTAS Singles:
None! You can play any format, including reg.

Awesome Spaders League link is     http://www.myleague.com/teamasl/

If you want to play team reg, you must join this league. Please note that the default for reg is NDN. If you want to have all bids, that must be stated in the addy.

Please remember, you do not need a team prefix in your nic for ASL.They addy like this....ASL@5 that means reg ndn at 5

Cappys, please feel free to start a team there if you wish.
We have started a team called "Oddballs" for those players without enough reg players to form a team, or does not want to make a reg team. All are invited to join.
You must do the free sign up in ASL and join a team if you want to play team regular.

Long live and prosper…GTA.
