just an update for those like me that were wondering what's going on.

boomser has said that the servers are rooted and the admins are trying their hardest to get them working, most likely up and running in the next half an hour.

As far as I have heard, apparently one of the admins thought it was FIRST TO 30. I.e. He didn't get what "play out 30 rounds" meant :(
