Ataque de Año Nuevo (roughly... "New Year's Attack" in Spanish)
Please note that the location for this month's tournament is in Washington, DC - not Silver Spring. After nearly 2 months of searching and receiving price quotes from various schools, community centers, hotels, etc. this is the only option that I can reasonably afford - so this is where we are going to be until the Spring.
The Marriott Wardman Park Hotel is located about 100 yards west of Connecticut Avenue on Woodley Road. Parking in the surrounding neighborhoods can sometimes be challenging due to the close proximity of the National Zoo, so please plan to either arrive early to find free parking, arrive whenever and pay for parking, or take the DC Metro Red Line to the Woodley Park / National Zoo station and a very short walk to the hotel.

Sorry about the confusion. The other tournament is an HMS tournament that Galaxy4Stars and I are co-hosting together. The good news is that they are both happening on the same day at the same place at the same time - so even had you signed up for that one, it would have been alright!
Regardless, I've got you on the list!
Plus the HMS tournament will be small.
Please put down ShadowGasher and ShadowGasherBrother.
Thanks for organizing the events!

I've you all up on the list!
ShadowGasher: Your brother's desired username will be too long. We can register him at the event if need be, but it would be better if he has an account created for him ahead of time and then have him post a response here in this thread so that we have his correct username. Thanks!
Is there an age limit (too young?, too old?) for the event?
I am new to all this. Will be reading the FAQ's and rules in a bit.

You should know by now that we have "Beywiki", where this could have been answered so easily without you posting that question.
