I'm sorry if this is considered a "Plug and run", but I'm here to post information about a gaming tournament that you all might been interested in...
Well... I'm currently an active member in a gaming club at my college, and we are currently gearing up to host a charity tournament. It's for anyone that lives in the Tri-State area (PA, NJ, NY), but anyone that wishes to participate and can make it down here can join in.
Anyway... Here is more information about the tournament.
Even though we are pressed for time, we're still open to any and all suggestions about the tournament rules.
