When running a tournament with a complex structure (double elimination, Swiss, etc.) it is important that you include the exact number of competitors when the tournament starts. It really isn't a question of holding 1 person's matches, it's a question of holding up the entire tournament.
That being said, Blader Stefan and I are in contact and will work out the logistics of his arrival together.
My parents are considering going to the Cherry Blossom Festival in D.C. I told them about this, and they said maybe.
So maybe along the way haha?

So is there going to be a hms tornoment soon. there my favorite of tornoments. Happy moodArupaeo can not host HMS due to his Son(Rock Burn Virgo) But if he finds a babysitter to babysit him then it a possibility he can host HMS.
The weather service says there gonna.be some shower or rain during the day so if the ground is wet or muddy will be moved in the pavilion for the whole tournament section
It is going to rain on Saturday, so regardless of what the rain status is on Sunday we should assume that we will be playing in the pavilion - where it will be nice and dry.
The surface there is concrete, but I have big blankets to lay down so that tips don't get ruined if they get knocked out of the stadium.
I went ahead and changed the name on the list and merged the two accounts. Look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
Me n lynx are gonna take all of u by storm!
