Late Registration (Door Reg) will be entered into the raffle 1 time.

Entry Fee Example:
You pay $30 to walk in and play one Set of Games. For example, for $30 you could play in the Brawl 1v1 and 2v2 events.
For each additional Set of Games you add it is $10.
So you walk in to play in the Halo Reach event, its $30. You also want to play in Brawl 1v1 and 2v2, so its +$10 = $40 total entry.

I'll be working but sounds like fun

I find it kind of interesting that there is no Halo 1v1 tourney. 1v1's are generally considered the true test of one persons skill against another. Yes it would be a rather large time commitment, but this could be mitigated a great deal however, by running a few rounds of swiss then a top 8 double elimination (or a single if you prefer).

I know the 1v1 thing sounds like a true test because it's what most would consider "pure" but really if you can hold your own against 3 or more guns, that's what I call a true test. It's not easy and I can't do it though I know a few people that can(since they play this game all the time).

A few of my friends recently discovered something very fun: 300% movement, 4x plasmas and just the club. Golf matches are our new funtime.

Anything more than 1v1 is more of a test of team work than cooperation. Two amazing players with no team work will loose to two decent players with amazing teamwork nearly every time.
