The more setups we have, faster and smoother our tournaments will run. Any setups contributed would be greatly appreciated and measures will be taken assure that your setup will not come across harms way and will identify who they belong to so there's no confusion when packing up.

The reason why it is a two day event is because of casuals and people can have there own tourney but please don't let it interfere with the main tourneys. If you want to make a thread in any other forum please just let me know before you do.
When players start signing up for the tourneys please tell or type in all your information at the front desk of Battlegrounds. An example would be if you wanted your character next to your name in the results then you would put your name then a dash and right next to it the character. The tourney organizers are not going to be responsible for any information you didn't tell us at the front desk. Once everybody is all set with telling us their information we will then seed it accordingly.
I will update with more info once I have more time so please bear with me.
