More info on the judging staff, and possible raffles to come shortly.
 
hey Josh...is there any truth to a possible "CAP" for the tournament ??? due to limited space...I've just been hearing all sorts of stuff, so I thought I'd confirm with you, to plan accordingly...

thanks for any and all info,

JessE
 
Well, I know nothing about a possible CAP, however, the store could hold about 60-80 players total IMO within reason. They could push the tables closer together at the most, but 100 would probably be the most if they pushed it.

I don't think its gonna be enough. I hear tons of Norcal people are coming and obviously Socal people will be going. Hope there is a plan in case 100+ come. Attendance to citys all over Norcal was huge this year it seemed like. There is just more people fighting for the trip it seems. I really don't want to be turned away if I travel all the way in a car for 12+ hours and I know many others will feel the same way.
 
Since I am sure nobody else will do it.. I will ask the owner at league exactly how much room there is.
 
^^Is that even possible?
^I did too... twice... what's your point?

This is gonna be a great year. Lotsa people. Imma gonna fail D: W/e though. As long as our resident Junior wins, I'll be happy. :) My SR Buddies be comin' in town. Gonna be good States.
