I like that singles starts early, but there are already 30+ people confirmed on facebook, so you will probably have to run pools,
and there's no way pools and bracket for that many people can finish in an hour :(

Yea, its looking like pools will be a thing. Good to hear Toronto will be making it :) Bring a crew and lets see who comes out on top, Hammer, TO, or the Rochester scene,who is tentatively also making an appearance.

Due to increasing demand to raise the player cap on the tournament, we have made arrangements to extend the tournament by one day.
Did...did you guys just create a major by accident?

maybe joe could work out some sort of reservation system.. I don't know though.
I would hate for someone wanting to come all the way from ottawa not come cause they're not sure if they could get a spot.

yeah a reservation list would be nice, especially if some people are willing to bring setups. i don't really wanna drive 40 mins there to find out that i cant get in then have to drive all the way back.
