Madden fans will battle through three rounds of tough competition in the in-store, tiered tournament.

Many of the participating GameStop locations will begin round one of
their tournaments at 2 p.m. local time; however, customers are
encouraged to contact their local store to confirm the exact start
time. All contestants must check-in at least 30 minutes prior to the start of play, and you must be at least 13 years old to participate in the event.

Participants under 18 must have a parent or guardian sign their registration form.

The top four players from each participating first round location will
