FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Why on <day>? Why not on <different day>?
Weekends tend to work best for these two titles as they will likely pull the largest number of entries and most people work during weekdays. If you work weekends, you know the schedule in advance, so please do what you can to get the day off!

You guys are running tournaments like, every week! You are crazy and I hate you.
I know, right? We want to try to make sure everyone’s got a tournament to throw down in, so, hopefully, you guys are happy!
