It's Michigan Melee Summer Circuit Event #3!
I'm excited to be running the Japanese-style bracket class format at this tourney. This format is basically a series of bracket pools that branch off into different "classes" of skill brackets based on your placing in the initial bracket pool. As a result, everyone gets more playing time with similarly-skilled opponents and final placings will be more accurate than ever, providing an informative platform for improvement.
So come out to Ann Arbor on Saturday June 13th for a day of Melee action! Players of all skill levels, ages, and backgrounds are encouraged to attend.
