You can register for multiple pre-qualifier mini-tournaments; however, you will not be allowed to play in any two tournaments at the same time. You safest bet is to buy them for separate days. There are no refunds but you can resell a slot to another player at the normal entry fee price as long as it is coordinated through and agreed upon by the tournament staff.
NOTE: We will not publish the list of players registered for a specific tournament or specific day. In other words, players will not be able to pick which tournament or day to play based on participation of weaker/stronger players.
