Restriction: 8 online, 16 at the tournament

Okay, so here is the plan: we gather up all the bladers in the building who show up for TRU's "tournament" (lol) and bring them outside for an actual tournament - WBO style. The purpose is to give players who are not a part of the WBO a chance to experience what we have to offer. Hopefully, if they like how we run this, they will come to the tournament the following week, STAGE FRIGHT. After all, we want to break 100 players at one tournament, right? Now is our chance!

This is a restricted attendance event. I will take 8 members online as confirmed and the rest will be determined at the tournament. Please, please, please let the newer players play if there are not enough spots and you are a tournament veteran. After all, your time to shine will be at STAGE FRIGHT the following week.

Check the opening post. Sniper and Sonic were the only two seasoned WBO players that had entered.

Hah. Thanks. I didn't check it since almost no one updates the OP these days... Silly me, and congrats Sniper, Justin and sonic!
I try to keep it there so when I look everything up in past events, it is easy to find.

Which is like a thousand times more convenient than burying the results on page 14 of 20 or whatever (like I have done...repeatedly...). I guess that is my learning for the day, thanks Dei!
