  • Entry Fees for tournaments is $10; with some exceptions

  • There will be other games to play here as well as game brought by fellow congoers in the freeplay area.

  • During tournaments, we ask to be careful and mindful of the amount of people that will be around and in the area. There will be a lot of clutter and a lot of spectators, especially on Saturday. So if you're not a participant, just make sure to clear the way for others who are to move about the tournament area.

  • This is not so much a rule just a general statement: There's no need to get physical or to beat yourself up if you lost or are losing. You learn from the loss and come back stronger next match if you know you can do better. It also never hurts to ask questions, no matter the game. There are players, whether here or online, that will be more than willing to explain even the most basic of concepts with you. No one comes out the gate winning all the time, and those that claim they do, really don't realize what they may be, or have lost along the way...didn't mean for that to get deep but you catch my drift Be kind. Ask questions. Grow from your losses. Learn more about the games you love. Don't learn hate from them.
