Date: Wednesday, July 4th
Time: Casuals start at 12pm, Tournament starts at 4/5pm.
Location: Immortal Gamers League, 5790 Rogers St. Las Vegas, NV 89118 (Cross streets: Russell and Decatur)
Entry Fee: $10, this is to cover costs of food for the BBQ and drinks that people will be having. Casual setups are free to play. For those participating in the tournament, see a separate entry fee below.

This is a pre-event that I've been wanting to hold before Evolution. I know how my first Evo was 10 years ago when I barely knew anyone at the event. Back then Evo only had around 400 - 500 attendees. Now it has grown to sizes probably around 20 times that amount. This event will be for new attendees and veterans alike. It's to make sure people get that last minute grind session in before the big weekend, but at the same time have everyone get to know one-another. Now when you show up to the ballroom on the first day you won't feel so nervous or leftout since you know a couple people there. We will also be having multiple tournaments running for all the games that are being showcased at Evo. The space should be pretty big and hopefully it's not too hot or windy that day. Also, from the location you get a beautiful view of the strip so we should be able to see all the fireworks go off which all starts around sunset. So come down get some games in, get some food and drinks, and get to know everyone. Hope to see you all there.
