Chicago Tournaments/ IL in general

I live in Evanston and am a student at NU ... why can't I find any tournaments in Chicago? I am new to the site, so maybe I'm just dumb. I'm top 10 on the 360 leaderboards both on this site and online, so I think I could give the competition a run for their money, but I can't seem to find any tournaments in the country's 3rd biggest city .....

The combination of Pope and K3v being in one state has caused most of the competition to hang themselves for fear of humiliation.

I can never find tournaments, although sometimes they happen and native Illinoisans who aren't that good at GH don't tell their friends who are so they can have a chance at winning the prizes themselves. (Cliff can back me up on this.) I've been to two so far (in the past 9 months of looking for tournaments).

Despite that, do they still hold them anywhere? Should I contact those guys directly?

Most IL tournaments aren't very widely advertised. I'd suggest you check all the gaming stores/organizations around you on a weekly basis, and keep your eyes and ears open at all times, and as soon as you find out about any, post them in this forum please.

kthxbi
