Notice that you use $text as the body of your email... where is this variable? probably it is empty.

<?php
@extract($_POST);
$name = stripslashes($name);
$email = stripslashes($email);
$game = stripslashes($game);
$clans = stripslashes($clans);
$comments = stripslashes($comments);
mail('elitegamingleague@hotmail.com',"$subject","$text","From: $name <$email>");
?>

try this

<?

foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key => $value)
{
   $text="$key => $value\n";
}

$subject="hi there";

mail('elitegamingleague@hotmail.com',"$subject","$text","From: $name <$email>"); 

?>

if you want it to email you specific fields do as follows

<?

//first load post variables into variables
while (list($key, $val) = @each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) 
{
       $GLOBALS[$key] = $val;
}

//then set text to what you want to email... use \n for a carriage return

$text="email: $email\ncomments: $comments .... etc etc";

//now mail it
$subject="hi there"; 

mail('elitegamingleague@hotmail.com',"$subject","$text","From: $name <$email>");

?>
