Announcements:
(4.3.2012) We have a tentative tournament schedule for the 21st. AE2012 and Marvel will be starting around 4:30 or 5 PM. We're doing this so we can get the games we know we'll have a much smaller turnout for out of the way so we can have as many setups available for AE and Marvel. Running Smash first, we figured, was the smartest thing to do since those games last much longer.
If you haven't done so, please pre-register on our Google Docs page. It helps us to get a proper count of who's playing what, and who's bringing setups.
