Chemistry wrote: why release the thread when you cant even register

thread release date was in honor of rrtyui's birthday ("pls enjoy game" is the origin of our tournament theme)the length of time between thread release in registration gives people time to form teams but also to let the word spread out so more people know about the tournamentlong registration period so that people who know they're going to play have some time to make sure their schedules and availability work out / confirm their teammates and teams, etc. so all the participants don't feel rushed in being ready for tournamentwe'll most likely send out reminders right before tournament actually starts as well ^^
