Can I assume this is a fully open tournament in general?

As the Erik Nelson who approved this Erik Nelson-approved mirror, I approve of it being open!

[Auks Ran Ova]

I am registering a team, name and final composition to be determined.

Congrats to The Bus That Could Not Slow Down (aka the comically stacked team of Rob Carson, Andrew Hart, Carsten Gehring and Mike Cheyne) who ran the table to win today's tournament. Thanks to everyone came out and to Mac for hosting - this was a really great day.
