Limited spots are available. If gamers register after the limit is reached, they will be placed on the waitlist. If a competitor does not show for the competition, members from the waitlist will be pulled to fill his/her place. If they are waitlisted, we highly encourage them to attend the event early as spots will be filled on a first-come-first-serve basis.
