Rubicon 3 (RC3) is the third in a monthly tournament series held in Chicago. Every tournament features a top50 player invite, amateur bracket, college student discounts, and Melee ONLY.
Thanks to you guys, Rubicon is the largest Chicago Melee monthly of all time! We had 106 entrants for BOTH RC1 and RC2 Melee singles. Let's see if we can break that record!
~~~
Our 3rd invite is ranked 2nd best Peach in the world, soon to be the best Peach ever. He is also the host and creator of the SoCal tournament series, Mayhem. Please welcome MacD!
~~~
Please promote this to your local colleges. Discounted venue fee for currently enrolled students who bring college IDs.
The school that brings the most college IDs wins a CRT from us! UChicago and DePaul are exempt from winning, each having won a CRT from the previous Rubicons.
