Tournament entrants and spectators may sign up in person on the day.

General signups are now all CLOSED. Thank you for your interest.

This space is constantly updated for more information! For quick communication with the organisers, please join our Discord community at: discord.gg/zbmjnV9GH9

WALK INS accepted on Saturday after 4pm. There will probably be a queue so first come first served. We will let artists know to wait for you (if they can) if you are stuck in the queue after 5pm. Walk-ins will stop at 9pm or once the queue is gone and we don't have attendees arriving for 5 minutes, whichever comes first.
