No, this is not your moment to panic … all is still well on Halo 2 and having it for you.

But, it’s time to start planning for not just that Monday Night, but for the upcoming Saturday and our Halo 2 tournament! If you think you’re going to be coming to it, we’d love to know and we’d love for you to RSVP your spot. Better yet, with the game coming out, there’s no better way to take care of everything then to add the Halo 2 Tournament to your pre-order! Here’s the advantages:

* You secure the early entry price ($10 for one event and $15 for both events per person), even if you don’t pick up your Halo 2 game until after Wednesday the 10th, the normal “early entry” deadline.

* Should this tournament get big, and we have to close entry (I would the thrilled to death to see 100 people come out and play at this event, and that would have to be above capacity!), your spot would be reserved.

* It helps us gauge how many people will be attending and allows us to more accurately state how much there will be in prize money.

So it does help us out, and it can help you out too by planning ahead and being able to be ready for the tournament when it comes up …. you’ll only have 5 days to practice for it, so there’s no time to waste once our Midnight Release Party hits!

Just a reminder that tomorrow IS the Pokemon FireRed / LeafGreen tournament at the store. We’ll be getting it started around Noon, and registration will end at around 11:30 AM, so make sure to be there early. While we’re not expecting people to stuff the store full, there’s gonna be a lot of gameplay for those who enter! Here’s a quick summary:

• We’re gonna do all the matches using the Arena mode of Pokemon Colosseum. Trey will check in the cartridges when they are brought in to make sure they will work ok.

• Players will need to have a team of 6 Pokemon ready: two at Level 70 max, two at Level 50 max, and two at Level 30 max.

• There will be four separate single elimination brackets for different types of singles and doubles matches. The winner of each bracket (or Top 4 qualifiers should someone win two brackets) will go double elimination for a chance to face off against the “Elite Four” and win bigger prizes!

Entry tomorrow morning is $15, but if you attend FNL tonight, you can enter for the early price of $10, so definitely do both to get the “double” price. We’d love to see everyone after the Lakota East vs. Lakota West game tonight!
