July Sword Fighting Tournament 2013 Details!

As promised, I'm here to talk about the upcoming tournament that is being planned out by myself and Zakary. We were planning on doing three tournaments, but ended up deciding on only two because of the lack of time to make one in June. So, we'll have to do only two and what not. So, only one in July and one in August.

How to Participate: Currently not accepting entries for August.

  • Send a tweet to me stating the following "I want to play in the tournament! My username is..." You must follow these guidelines in order to participate.
  • If you followed that guideline, you will receive a follow up tweet saying "Accepted."
  • Once you receive that tweet, you'll be set to participate. 
  • If you didn't receive the "Accepted" tweet, you either didn't follow the guideline correctly or I have failed to view your tweet.

    1. No, I'm not so aware with BLOXcon. If you're attending and this interferes with it, I wouldn't participate.

    2. The times may alter anyway, we'll see.
