...there's a tournament in Memphis for the first time in, like, years, and it's on the same weekend when all of Memphis' players will be in Baltimore for Pound 4?!? That's kind of amazing.

I know... right? xD

aaaand this venue is less than 30min from my house. Hopefully we can do this on a consistent basis.

Yeah interesting how that happens. Well on the bright side, the Melee tourny here should make up for those who can't make it to Pound. Handorin- We hope to have this once a month or bi-weekly. Btw I made this thread before I realized Zane already made one. Oh well...
