Sign-ups are now open at http://challonge.com/tournaments/signup/5ovcogz6o6 if you sign up, either do so with your name and character code or post in here with your name on the site, your in-game name and your CC so I can work out correct seedings. Anyone not doing so by the time the bracket is filled will be replaced.
I will be gone all weekend (filming at iSeries) so if you have any queries, best thing to do is message me @VTJRaen on Twitter, so I can answer from my phone. Otherwise, enjoy!
