As promised by Sundance (Co-Founder/CEO of Major League Gaming), we are offering Dallas HQ Pass Purchasers two options because of the technical difficulties in Dallas. Players can either opt for a free Columbus HQ pass (in this case, if you purchased a Dallas HQ pass, you will automatically receive a Columbus HQ pass), or you can request a full refund for the Dallas HQ pass. The procedure for both can be found HERE. We will be sending an email out to everybody that purchase the Dallas HQ pass with the instructions; however, I wanted to make you aware of this thread as soon as possible
