Hello,
Oliver, and welcome to the boards! We have finalized the tournament for Saturday the 17th. We play pretty much every Sunday, though I believe the shop will be closed on the 28th, so that one's out.
5pm is more of a rough starting time-- I try to show up around 4, some people come even earlier than that, and it's fine if you want to show up later, too. We're usually wrapping it up by 9 or 9:30. You can drop by the
NS 'Scapers thread for additional information, and discussions not pertaining to the tournament itself.
There has been a question raised as to whether or not January is the best time for another tournament. This is what we'll do: everyone who
does want to do the tournament on January the 17th, please confirm that you're on board for that date. If we haven't got at least eight confirmed attendees by the 3rd (two weeks before the tournament), then we'll reschedule.
