I've lined up prize support and figured out tickets and such, so here's the official announcement that I'll be running an Underworlds tournament on May 10th at NagoyaHammer this year.
I will be asking people to buy tickets on peatix, partly to give a sense of commitment and partly to help me with cash flow in the aforementioned lining up of prize support. The event page is here: https://nagoyahammerunderworlds2020.peatix.com/view and you can get a ticket and pay for it there. I'm afraid I am asking for 500 yen on top of the event fee (for a total of 3000 yen), but again, prize support. Basically the way it works is, you'll buy a ticket from me online and I'll pay Prim in cash for all the attendees on the day. If you're coming both days you can pay Prim for day 1 in cash and I'll pay for you for day 2 from the ticket proceeds.
In bold so there's no confusion: YOU NEED TO BUY A TICKET AT THE LINK ABOVE TO TAKE PART!
Repeating the event intro and rules from the event page:
