ATTENTION ALL X3O GOW PREMIERE TOURNAMENT PARTICIPANTS

As you can see from the registration list located here, there has not been a tremendous amount of player registrations or confirmed teams. With that being said we do not want to cancel the event, however are going to have to adjust the format of play. Below are all of the updated details:

Event Schedule:
10:00AM - 11:00AM ~ Open Registration and Pre-pay
If you plan on participating in this tournament you will need to come in to register or pre-pay for the tournament by 11:00AM. After 11:00AM we will begin to seed the teams RANDOMLY for a double elimination bracket.

11:30AM - FINISHED
Double elimination play will begin. Each team will share a 50" Samsung DLP HDTV. Due to the lack of teams attending, only one match will play at a time. There will be no practice or warm-up time before or after the matches.
