First post has been updated with info on round-robin structure and the Champ Combo Arcade.
Singles has been extended to two rounds of pools. The first will likely be
24 pools of 7-8 each. The top 4 players from each pool will advance to the next round, which leaves us with a second round of
16 pools of 6 each. The top 2, 3, or 4 will advance to the bracket. Exact numbers will be determined once we have an accurate count of attendees.
Doubles will either be 8 pools of 8 teams or 16 pools of 5-6 teams depending on signups. 32 teams at most will advance to the bracket.
We're also adding one or two TVs for a fun corner called the Champ Combo Arcade. The Arcade is an area where you will be able to compete in video game challenges to earn more raffle tickets. All the challenges are listed in the Raffle section of the first post, but will generally involve some task of moderate-to-high difficulty in a pre-selected list of games. You will only be able to play Arcade games if your pool isn't currently running. PLEASE do not hold up the tournament by playing these silly challenges
.
Groovy.
Oh, and just in case you missed my last post,
s-royal from Japan is coming! He has been added to a list of VIP players expected to attend at the bottom of the first post.
