Drop by the Game Night FAQ to understand the basics about how-to participate. 

If you want the step by step on how to get in the game, most of this is explained when you join the chatroom the night the game night is happening in your region. What you'll do is join the chatroom and let the admins (listed as green text in the chatroom) know that you are there to participate. The admin will normally share the in-game names for people to send friend invites to them. Then, everyone waits until each admin creates the game. 

Some other things to note for this game night.

- Join Chatroom is the first step. If you have problems, go to java.com and make sure you have the latest java installed.
- Record videos or take screenshots so you can report them in here!
- Recall any highlights for game night and post them in this discussion thread!

The CHATROOM link is http://www.gamespot.com/chat/chat.php?room=GameSpot_Tournament  currently open for those who want to play games with each other prior to this game night. You should expect to see staff join the chat around 1 hour prior to the U.S. or U.K timezones on November 10th

Participation Rewards

There are a variety of ways you might be rewarded for participating in this special event. 

- Bounty Hunter emblem will be granted to those who are chosen as an MVP by staff. For this event we'll have one MVP per region.

- Part of the flock emblem will be granted to all participants who get in a game with an editor. Community Staff will track who joined the chatroom, and based on this list we'll determine who played the editors via their gamertag played list. Make sure you get in a race with an editor or you won't be granted this emblem. For the record, this emblem is only handed out when there are a variety of Gamespot editors who believe that they can beat all of you in the game. Otherwise, if there aren't that many editors and they aren't that good, we won't even consider handing out this emblem. 

 

- Custom paint jobs emblem (new!) will be granted to those of you who create the best GameSpot themed paint jobs. The editors will be the judges on who receives this new emblem!

Yeah, pretty cool. AU also plans to participate. I'll update with more information here shortly.

We also have a custom paint jobs emblem that will be handed out based on the editors selection. Be sure to customize your cars with a GameSpot themed paintjob to be considered!

Update: Added all three schedules based on pacific time zone in Steam for those of you who want to play with UK or AU editorial staff.

Man, wish I had Forza so I could paricipate! This is gonna be awesome. I might stop by the chat room just to talk it up with UK and AU staff.

If you are a believer of Jesus Christ, and are 100% proud of it, put this in your sig.

I don't own the game yet either, I'm hoping I can rent it somewhere so I can join in.
