Depending on the numbers, we will definitely love to stream it but not if it's a 10 man tournament, dallas has been slacking lately on numbers

It's no problem man. Don't worry, I don't wanna hold up pools how many entrants are we looking at? Maybe I can take a loss and try to make it for losers bracket later? How long do you expect mk pools to run?

PureYeti I know beef already asked but would it be maybe possible to move this back till 3? Honestly I dont think any of the MK guys mind waiting if it means more people can come down but I understand if it really messes with your schedule.
