Good Evening, everyone! A few announcements on this cold February night. First, tickets are now available for SpeedGaming Live 2026. This year's dates are October 22nd through October 25th at the DoubleTree by Hilton Washington Dulles Airport in Herndon, VA. (NOTE: this is just a rebrand of the same hotel that hosted our past 5 events.) Read more...

• Hotel is now named the Doubletree by Hilton. But the locations is exactly the same.
• 11 Tournaments confirmed for live event.
• Online only tournament invitations are being confirmed now.
• Art and design for the event is being finalized. This includes shirts, pins, and lanyards.
• Shirts for next year would likely be Event shirt, two Zeldas (Triforce and MM Clocktower), Final Fantasy (Crystals), and two others (based on what games are at the event).
• Disaster preparedness: notes on what to do in the case of emergencies will be included in the event brochure. This will include notes on routes of egress from the building, and also what to do with tournaments if a game is interrupted due to an emergency situation.
• Announcement for the event, with essential information, will be posted shortly.
• Stay safe and warm out there.

• Dates are locked in and we're good to go with the event.
• Breakfast will be in the Colvin room.
• Otherwise, event layout will be the same as last time, including the tournament space in Sully.
• Tickets go on sale February 1
• Online support will be hosted by Matcherino, like last years
• Ticket teirs will stay the same. Prices will likely stay the same.
• For product, we'll have pins again, along with t-shirts.
• Free standard badges for volunteers at the event for anyone that works at least 8 hours at SGL.
• Special staff and volunteer merch will also likely be available.
• Online portion of the event will start earlier in the year. SGLive Online will be for online-only communities that can't make the live event.
• Event design will be ready by February 1.
• A preliminary tournament list will be published. It will include FFR, ALttPR, WW, Z1R, OoTR. Best of NES will likely be there as well, as part of SGL but likely not as a "tournament" in the same scope as the SGL tournaments.
• For future planning: what to do in case of a building emergency? what to do in case of a power outage?
• SGL Staff Meetings will on on the 1st and 16th of each month.
