If there are 32 or more players registered, the tournament will run all three days, Friday to Sunday.: Jan 23rd, start at 00:00 GMT (+00:00) , until only 32 players remain

To encourage lower league players, we’ll be awarding “top finisher” badges to the players who achieve the highest finish respective of their ladder league. For example, the silver player who makes it the deepest in the tournament will receive a virtual “badge” that recognizes their achievement. Every time a player reaches an even number of badges won, they’ll get a prize paid out to them!

As there will probably be a number of ties for this category, we’ll end up running a side-tournament for any players that tied in their league. Hopefully this system gives players of all skill levels a chance to be competitive at some time throughout the tournament!





All players must live in the Midwest. To verify this, you’ll need to get a picture of your driver’s license (or other government-issued photo ID) and black out the personal information except for your picture, first name, and state. Then include that picture in your registration form. For an example of a good picture that proves residency, check out my lovely mugshot:
