Official Steam Group for the Crate & Crowbar Gaming Podcast

The time has come for the first (in quite some time, that is) Crate & Crowbar community tournaments! Since this is tournament series #1, we're going to have a bunch of 1 on 1s! Here is the sign up link[docs.google.com], and the details for each tournament can be found below. Once everyone has signed up, brackets will be posted on Challonge. If there are any questions, you may contact me on Discord, Steam, Twitter, or email (Steam is probably the slowest method for me to respond).

Sign ups will be open through Sunday, April 2nd. Tournaments will take place throughout April and the next round of tournaments (games and formats TBD) will have sign ups open April 24th-April 30th.

Also, if participants would like to have a few commentated show matches on the weekends, let me know and I'll see what we can arrange!
