Matt "matt8000" Hedding joined The Elite in 2005, with a highly original screenname that was created when he realised that his existing pseudonym was very similar to another member of the community.
In his time, Matt has produced some respectable Goldeneye and Perfect Dark times and is a member of the modern Noob Rivalry along with several other nooblets.
Matt is a regular presence on The Elite Boards, though isn't a frequent poster. However he is a regular participant in Elite Sporting Pick'em competitions. Whilst he has not had much success overall, he is renowned for making some fairly crazy selections that have resulted in some very high short-term performances. Despite knowing very little about American football, his adopted team is the Philadelphia Sea Eagles. Although more than six months after jumping on their bandwagon, he still has barely any idea how the game is played.
Most recently he has been assisting the Elite Puzzle Hunt team by collecting prizemoney and performing reconnaissance missions.
