Hi,

i would like to invite everyone to come play this (mostly) BCD level tournament, held at CBA from 7/17 to 7/18, saturday to sunday.

As usual, the organizers will guarantee 3 matches in this triple elimination tournament, using the AB, CD drop-flight system: first match determines you are A or B, and second match determines you are A or A-con, and the third match is elimination.

The entry fee has been kept low, again. $20 for the first event, and $10 for each additional event.

Finally, we have secured funds to award $100 cash prize for all group A winners.

hope to see many of you there!

sounds complicated

it is more complicated for the organizers who's running the tournament.

for the players, just know this, you get to play at least 3 matches.

the other advantage of this format, in my opinion, is it reduces the chance of people ending up in the wrong flights.
