Tournament Location:
Adele H. Stamp Student Union
Margaret Brent Room (Second Floor)
College Park, MD 20742
It's the student union. Hard to miss. Just go uphill.
People taking the metro: There is a bus that takes you directly to the front entrance.

There will be a side entrance on the side of the parking garage that has stairs going up. Go up and turn left and through a door. First room on the left.
Parking:
Union Garage. Right next to the venue. $5 for the day.
Lot 1(b,c,d) and Z. A slight walk. Free.
Read parking signs carefully. College Park purposely makes parking rules confusing so they can make more money off parking tickets. They have a quota, which is terrible since tickets should only be bonus income.
There are also speed cameras around Route 1. (Fortunately MD law says they cannot be used when there is no school.)

Don't be afraid to call one of us if you get lost. College Park roads are stupidly confusing.

The player choice clause: If both players agree to a rule outside the ruleset, feel free to play by that. If one player wants to counterpick Pokéfloats, and the other player is fine with that, then that is more than fine. However, in the event the two players disagree, house rules stand.
