Event Info: This is a 32 person duel tournament for the deaf and hard of hearing gaming community. Priority will be given to these entrants. The competition is open to all competing players however sound will be disabled on all machines to make an even playing field. We may allow players also entered in the pro duel tourney but this will be determined at the event.
Test your might and show up for a good cause. SilentGamers.org run by Rob aka Ackshun's main goal is to bring attention to gamers with hearing impairments and showcase their talent. Please visit our website for more details.

Good sportsmanlike conduct will be expected by all players and absolutely no discriminatory comments will be tolerated by quakecon staff. Seeding will be done at random with a draw. If we decide before the tourney to do manual seeding we will let the participants know.
