The stream, which can be found here will go from the start of the tournament until the Semi-Finals on the first day. The second day of play will resume at the semi finals and go until the tournament is complete. This may change if the brackets are extended, but for the time being this is the plan.

Any other questions you guys have feel free to ask them here or contact a MP Administrator. See you on the field

SIGNUPS

NOTE: If you need to change your roster DO NOT submit another form. Please contact [email protected] with the information instead.

Policy on Roster Changes: Before the signup cutoff players may change rosters as actively as they wish. After signups close, players may change up to 2 players (this does not include adding missing main roster players and/or making your substitute one of your main players). If more than 2 are changed then that team will loose their spot. After the brackets for the team’s region comes out NO roster changes will be allowed.

I want to give Blu and the guys from Mistpedia a huge thank you for organizing and hosting this tournament. I also want to give a big thank you to all the members of the community who stepped up to volunteer to help out. This tournament was able to expand from 16 to 64 teams per region due to the efforts of Mistpedia and these volunteers. Helping each other out to make events like this even bigger is what community is all about.

As much as we all wanted to accommodate all of the teams that signed up, the logistics of handling a 128 team tournament, when we originally planned for 16, would be too much to execute within such a limited timeframe. We will be working to make sure future events are able to take into account sign-ups of this magnitude.

Thanks again Blu and crew!

John
