Really cool, I look forward to it.

 

[Lightsoul]

Might try to make this tournament. Will be a good chance to break out into the competitive scene at a venue that is up and coming.

We'd be happy to have you. Starting to get a lot of interest in it.

 

[Becca Vich]

I'm excited to be going as well! It'll be fun to see some familiar faces and maybe get to see some new ones.

 

[SuperDavio]

Have we tried to get any big personalities to shout out about this? I wish I had thought ahead, I would have asked the guys at Xanadu for a shoutout via Twitter. I may still tag a few guys to see if they'd be willing to give us some shout outs.

 

[metalmonstar]

I have been trying to spread the word. I have a smashfest tonight and will try to get the Hagerstown group to attend this.

 

[Blasiancoolio]

When I went to Xanadu last week I told everyone I could and passed out flyers. I didn't say anything about twitter though.

 

[SuperDavio]

I tweeted out to GimR, Dabuz, and Nairo because they're my favorites and I'm biased.

Also, will we have an open mic policy, or how will that work?

 

[Blasiancoolio]

I'd like to see what the people we attract are like before allowing completely open mic. Anyone I know personally is cool for commentary, and of course any big names (if they come) are also cool. But I'd like to avoid any situations where a rando jumps on and it's less than satisfactory. Next time I'll let it be more open definitely. Plus I'll have a big announcement at the tournament, so anyone that wants a chance will get it.

 

[metalmonstar]

Hope to see everyone at the event tomorrow.

 

[StinkyHands]

I am planning on attending tomorrow!

 

[SuperDavio]

When are we getting that results thread posted, mang? Gotta get people motivated for weeklies!

 

[Blasiancoolio]

It's been in the moderation queue for a while now. Idk what's taking so long.
