As this is nearly a week away and three teams are on the informal spreadsheet, I just want to make sure (mainly for travel and hotel reasons): is this tournament happening?

[Quarion]

Yes, I confirm that this tournament will be happening next weekend. Thank you for asking, Jonathen! :)

This tournament happened. ACF Fall 2013 Florida 5th place reunion team ended the double round-Robin with a 9-1 record, winning the tournament. Mickey Mouseketeers placed second, and #ZACHWATCH RIPBOZO REST IN PISS YOU WONT BE MICHED placed third. Full results can be found here.

Thank you to staffers Aahil Makhani, Valerie Ogonor, Naren Savkur and Nathan White, without whom this tournament would not have been possible.
