I've changed it to "For the second consecutive year Orccon is hosting  
a qualifier for the 2010 Nationals Tournament. The tournament is a 2- 
day, 5-round event. The event is limited to 40 teams (80 players), so  
sign up now!" Remember, this is not a detailed listing of how the  
event is supposed to work....

We should update the web link on our site ASAP.

I also fixed the ending comment and removed a typo in the MALIFAUX  
entry.
