You can still sign-up 15-20 mins before the tournament,after that time you have to be lucky and hope that we haven't started to take attendance.
You should just register now and in case you can't attend,sign off. (If you don't sign off we will throw out anyway when we are going to take attendance but it would help us if you signed off)
The time and date will probably will stay as they are cause Saturday is the NA day so we had to make it on Sunday and since the next day is Monday and ppl have school,jobs,etc. we have to start the tournament early,w/o taking away much of your free time though (studying,chilling,going out,etc.) and the tournament is weekly FYI.
So you wanted to make sure that NA and EU don't overlap, for people to be able to observe both? How long do you think a tournament will take? If its about 5 hours it would also be possible to do it during the week in the evening? Or on Satirday before the NA which starts I think at around 20:00 CEST?
It's easier for ppl to join on weekend that's why we are making those tournaments on weekend,there might be flash-play tournaments made by other ManaGrind members during the weekdays. About the time that the tournament is going to take,this is based on the amount of ppl that are participating.
Just to make something clear for people thinking they can participate in both tournaments(NA and EU). The only way you can actually play in both is if you have 2 different beta keys with each one registered on the appropriate servers.
You can at least hope,I'm missing my key aswell.
how long will tournament last in hours?
and what is final date to sign up?
Dont be scared guys, I can not attend due to no betakey available so you have a chance of winning it :)
It depends on the amount of people that will join,the only sure thing is that it will last less than the NA tournament.
