Sub Only Tournament, DO IT!!

[Killbot]

Time again to SPAM you guys to death with thread bumps for our next tournament. It's a fun time and we will have a great group of competitiors this year. Come on in and test your stuff.

Still the best and only sub only tournament in the tri-state area. If you're in OH, MD, VA or PA, it's a great experience and not too expensive.

Oh damn, I didn't know people still did tournaments like this! Is there a link with the rules? There are no time limits?

I'm going to look around for something like this in MY tri-state area. Does anyone know of sub-only tournaments near NY or Boston?

Edit: Do you have a preset kill limit? That may effect my strategy.

We've added a time limit for kids. We had a couple of little dudes just completely break down after 48 minutes. Both just started crying cause they were so tired, but neither of them would quit. So we installed a 20 minute limit with 1 10 minute overtime. No limit for adults. Also, no crying for adults. Immedate disqualification. lol

Some tourneys do kill limits, but that is for timed matches. You can rack up as many subs during your matches, round robin, whoever gets the most subs wins. We just do simple, you sub, you win. you tap you lose.
