Winter Series Update
Due to increasing demand. We have decided to leave the registrations open for the Winter Series until our last tournament. You will only be able to sign up for tournaments that have not yet occurred.
The decision was made after two great tournaments and more people asking to sign up. Our motto at MNVL is to always err on the side of letting kids play, and we made this decision in line with our values. So you are free to sign up at any time until the last tournament (Minecraft on Feb 28th) has been played.
