Re: Dipsters Spring Variant Tournament

Hi again, everyone!

This is just a warning to those of you who want to play in this tournament but have not yet joined the queue.

In the first 24 hours we had 50% of our quorum sign-up.  

If you do want to play in this interesting variant tournament, I suggest that you join the queue right away, before the registration suddenly closes.

Hope to see you all in the tournament!  Good luck!
