Do these tournaments actually happen? I've signed up for a few and have never heard back about them?? Well, if this goes off count me in: demonicvanguard-1939.

 It's up to the person that makes the tournament so some probably never happens. TalFan seems like a reliable person though. The pairings is usually announced in the thread so just keep an eye on this thread.
