So mkat (www.utahddr.com) and I are organizing a tournament called United States of Groove (USG) which is going to be two tournaments in different states held simultaneously. It's still in the infant state, which is where you guys come in. Like every LG tournament it's based off what the players would think is the best. So here's a basic outline and what we're thinking of doing. Ideas are more than welcome. The official thread is over at LetsGroove.org with the Utah half over at UtahDDR.

So far we're thinking it would be easier and more logistically sound to run two individual tournaments, do local winners, and post the records online. We'd compile the scores and figure out who the overall winner is. Prizes will be cash prizes from the $5 entry fee. Other prizes will depend on sponsorship. Machine will be, hopefully, DDREX, but SN may be the machine due to lack of usable EX machines in WA and Utah.

Keep tuned here or (ideally*) at LG.org and UtahDDR.com

*Because I can't promise I'll keep the thread on PNWBemani updated as quickly as the LG forums or mkat will on UtahDDR.
