Details are pretty scarce right now, and their website is still under construction to be updated for this year. So far, they only have the cities and games updated. I'll update when more info is available.

In the meantime, anyone on CAG compete last year? I qualified in I-Play Fast & Furious as well as GTR2.

There not the best place to do tournaments with but I'm going the first event is in Oklahoma City but they haven't released a location they've released dates but no prizes no rules and no location and it's Saturdays so...

I will definitely try my hand at Smash in a few cities.

KOS-MOS is from Oklahoma and is crazy good at Melee, but isnt that great at Brawl. He plays Peach in Brawl and personally beat him in a Tulsa tourny.

Zinth is also an old Melee pro from OK. Currently sucks at Brawl.

Wobbles is from Dallas (maybe Phoenix originally). He can win Brawl tournaments, but he quit the game. He doesnt like it. Also sick at Melee.

Dojo who tied for last is a really good Metaknight player from San Angelo. I've played him once and he beat me to get 2nd in a New Braunfels tournament. Probably in the bottom of the top 10 in Texas in Brawl at this point.

Unfortunately I didn't get to compete because I was 15 at the time now I'm sixteen and can. I'm not to happy about the rules,prizes, or locations of the OKC event this Saturday not yet being announced and no rumor or announcement on when they will be.

Yea, that's pretty messed up they have dates listed for this weekend with no locations yet. From experience last year, this whole thing is run somewhat poorly but I still enjoyed it. It's a fun time to get together with gamers and a chance at winning stuff. Here's hoping they get their crap together.

Yeah I didn't get to compete because I was 15 and I had to be 16 but this year I will if they release the location,prizes,and rules. lol

Just a bump to see if anyone here has gone the past two weeks?

I'm still waiting on dates for Austin. I heard the TVs they use are laggy as hell though.
