Good afternoon!

The Longhorn Open is officially up for registration, and we are excited to see familiar faces back at UT! This year, we will be hosting a 3-day tournament at the UT Rec Center (Jan-24-26th), which being later into the semester will allow for longer tournament days which will accommodate for all divisions being finished with time to spare. There will be food all weekend, as well as a wide variety of divisions offered for everyone to find a fit. We will be capping off the participants at 125, so make sure to sign up early, which will also help us get t-shirts ordered in the correct sizes for all players. If you have any questions, feel free to email, message, or call!

Please register as usual for your desired divisions through R2, there will be no payment, payment information is below:
