T.O.T.A.L. Tournament

[NiX]

Since RR's interest in Armored Core has recently been quite high, and since the RR anniversary isn't too far off, I thought now might be a good time to try this again (after the previous thread went to hell).

Please suggest possible dates and venues for this event. And please don't hesitate to comment if you have any issues with the rules. And post if you're even interested in joining.
