If the dates of the tournament were changed to the 4th and 5th, it would overlap with the Early Bird Banquet which is at 5pm on the 5th. This is the opening event for the convention and, as of right now, I know of 70 strikers who have paid to attend the banquet. Janel has conveyed to me that she would have the events of the tournament over so it won't conflict with the convention, if possible. Having the tournament on the 4th and 5th might be more convenient to some but it wouldn't give much breathing room to a already busy week. Just my thoughts!
