Maximize your experience by coming early and/or staying late for friendlies!

SCHEDULE

• 5PM: Come and get some friendlies in! Feel free to come in even earlier though, we open at 10am!
• 6PM: Get checked-in and warm up with some practice matches.
• 6:45PM: In-person signups wind down. If you are arriving after this point or you’re going to be late, you must pre-register and post in #late-check-in at https://discord.gg/gamesync or there is a chance you will not be allowed into the bracket.
• 7PM: Tourney begins! (More setups for friendlies become available throughout the night as we progress further on in bracket and need fewer setups to run all of the matches.)
• 1AM: Post-event friendlies end/venue closes.

IF YOU’RE RUNNING LATE
