How You Can Win a Seat in the Tournament

I'm planning to play in a few of these events. But you can earn a seat in the main tournament if you knock me out of the Media Bounty Event which is Sunday December 11. That event kicks off at 6pm this Sunday night. It's pretty simple. If you knock one of the local celebrities out of that tournament, you get a free entry to the main event. I will be one of the bounty's on Sunday night.
