Did anyone post this? I'm a little late on reading Retrogaming Times Monthly this month and just noticed a tournament going on this coming weekend. They still have 18 of 40 spots open as I write this. From the site:

The seventh annual edition of The Classic Arcade Gaming (dot com) Tournament is being held at a new, and incredible, location next year - Logan Hardware, which is located a few miles southeast of O'Hare airport in Chicago, Illinois. The two-day event will take place over one weekend in later March; specifically, Saturday March 24 and Sunday March 25, 2012. Those who have paid the entrant fee (or will pay in person) may come out and practice on Friday (the 23rd) for a small fee (though no scores will be taken; Friday is for practice only). In addition, on that day, a number of world-class players will be going for world records on a variety of tourney, and non-tourney, games.
Not too far from me, but my own gaming skills are not at competition level, though I did win a TG-16 tournament with Blazing Lasers once back in the day. The game list is halfway down the page and includes mostly big names like Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, and Robotron, but also a few lesser titles like Beastie Feastie and Kangaroo.

Edit: Just looked further down the page. $50 tourney fee ($60 at the door). Ugh- no thanks. Definitely won't be participating, but I'll leave this post in case someone else is interested.
It's also the weekend of the much bigger Midwest Gaming Classic in Wisconsin.
