Dguy and Islander Cards and Comics presents : ICCT2
The first ICCT was an excellent success. The second one will of course be better. I will be hosting this tournament on a Saturday in August. I have not set a date in stone yet. I am posting the thread early so people can tell me which weekend that they would prefer to have this on. I have had some people tell me they want it back to back with Gigabits, and others who desire the tourneys to be spaced apart. Whichever is more popular will be what happens.
The 4th seems to have no tourneys in FL, the 11th has the Xtreme Play tourney, 18th is Gigabits, and the 25th seems to be open. The 4th is probably too close for me to set up, so it would probably have to be another date. So right now, it looks like the Islander tourney will be either the 25th, or I will hold off until September.
Other info: Things like heat and such will be less of an issue this time due to running the AC more and bringing a couple fans. The owner has also offered to bring in a big screen HDTV that we could use for finals and such. I have not inspected it for lag issues yet, but he has stated that he has used it for fighting game tournaments before and there were no complaints. I will look into it.
The information:

When:
Date TBA
Registration starts at 10AM. Doubles will begin at 11AM. Singles will start one hour after doubles finishes.
