Wow cpahanso, sounds like you're pretty eager.

In the mean time I'll answer a few questions.
1. Yes, you're well and truly signed up now. I really need to get rid of the poll, lol. I just want signups in the sign up thread.
2. Venue Fee money will be taken at the doors. The way the tournament entry fee will be taken needs to be worked out, but it will probably be a ticket system that you'll buy at the door as well.
3. You'll get a $5 discount for bringing all of that equipment. Good stuff!
4. Master Hand I don't think I'll allow on the following grounds
a. In a stock match he kinda breaks the game
b. Even so, he's simply the worst character in the game
c. Most importantly, it's quite difficult to select him using the glitch, and I don't want tournament time wasted on selecting him.
5. I have a TV with inputs and outputs that we could definitely use. For sure man
