Registration

Pre-Registration is available by visiting our Facebook Event Page. If you know you are coming, please accept the Event Invitation on Facebook. A headcount will help us be better prepared for the tournament and will speed up the registration process at the event.

Registration will begin on Friday, May 23rd, at 5:00 PM when the doors open. You must be registered at least 15 minutes before the event you play in is scheduled to begin; this means if you do not want to play in one of the tournaments, you do not need to show up on that day. There is a one time door fee for all gamers plus tournament fees for each event (see below). Each gamer can register for as many or as few of the tournaments as they want. Fees will be collected during registration before tournaments begin.

If you are under 13 years of age, you must print a Release of Liability form and have a legal guardian sign it for you. These will also be available at the venue.

Fees

Door Fee: $10 (see below to get this waived)
FFA: FREE!
2v2: $10 per player - $20 per team
4v4: $30 per player - $120 per team
If you wish to play in all the tournaments for the whole weekend, the total cost is $50 per player.

How to Waive the Door Fee

We need a limited number of volunteers to bring equipment for us to use during the tournament. If you provide us your contact information and agree to bring a TV, Halo 3 disc, and Xbox 360 with the map packs and gametypes loaded, we will waive your $10 door fee. You will be required to leave your equipment at the venue for the whole weekend (Friday through Sunday) and the tournament admins will determine who plays on your equipment. If you would like to volunteer, email a.madman@gmail.com.
