It will cost $20 entry for all divisions. Systems must be updated to the latest version of both system software and game cartridge updates (Version number and most recent rule set). Players may be penalized, including Disqualification, if their game does not have the latest update, or if their system is not running on the latest firmware. We will play Best-of-3 for Swiss Rounds, followed by Best-of-3 matches for Single-elimination Top Cut.

There is no guarantee that you will be granted entry into the event, that will be based on seating and determined by the TO.
