This tournament requires commitment, active involvement and a significant count of players to make it meaningful (25+).  I would like to gauge the interest for such a tournament first.  Please reply with “INTERESTED” highlighted if you are interested in such a tournament. 

If enough interests (>10 INTERESTED) are shown, a different thread with Part 1 Rules and sign up information will be posted.  In that case, this thread will be used as a general Q&A for the tournament.
EDIT:  Interest Count: 10/10, Part 1 has been revealed, Go sign up now.
