Welcome to the first tournament hosted by Mario Kart Central! The rules have been modified a bit from what you're used to, so I encourage you to read through them in their entirety before registering to prevent future issues.
For this tournament we'll be using the sign-up form that you're all used to. In the very near future we'll have tournament registration built into the registry, meaning everything will be automatic and you won't have to fill in the form on the thread anymore. Until that's done, however, the method of signing up will remain unchanged.
