It is time to restart the Chron X tournament scene, and there is no better way than to hold the 2005 Grand Championships. This year's event will feature a pair of Last Chance Qualifiers, one Open and one Act Three only. All events are free of charge.

Anyone who has a trophy automatically qualifies for the main event. You must be in the tournament room by the listed time for last-minute questions and answers. Signups will close at 15 minutes past the listed time. If you are late, you cannot enter that event, even though round one will not start for a few minutes. You are not signed up for the event until you have received a whisper from the judge. To signup, put the word SIGNUP at the beginning of your tag. (Put SIGNUP FIREWALL if you have a firewall.)
