In order to be eligible for the prizes in this tournament you must (1) have a North American Battle.net account and (2) reside in the continental United States / Canada*. I am shipping these keyboards from my house and unfortunately we just cannot afford to ship these globally. However, if you do live outside of the United States/Canada, you can still receive the prize, but we would ask you to pay for the shipping costs.
All players are welcome to participate, though players with higher league standings will be preferred.
You can sign up for the tournament at z33k.com's webpage.
