These could be played anytime before October 17th as well, then results sent in to rank alongside other IRL players and online-only players.

Any way to allow this?

If so, anyone think they could scrape together yourself and 3 or more others for a home tournament to play 3 rounds?

I think this is a cool idea if run separately (one that I wish MA travel restrictions would allow me to participate in), but doesn't work in conjunction to this online event due to fairness issues (besides the logistical ones Vegie mentioned).

If anyone doesn't / isn't able to play in a local event, there would be 2 options:
1) They go into the online tourney undefeated (unfair to opponents)
2) They go into the online tourney not undefeated (unfair to them)

I think you could probably get a few different local scenes to have their champions play online, but that could be a different event where they would also not have to schedule their games back-to-back on the same day.
