8/14 Dallas TX Monsters Arcade @ Quakecon Completely FREE $500 SSF4, T6, SSB & BBCS
"Completely Free", formally known as Mashfest, has been reformed with the help of Monsters Arcade, GMMA, and Quakecon. Completely Free is not just the name. Everything about this tournament is completely free! No venue fee! No pot fee! just show up!
For those of you who have never been to or heard of Quakecon, it is a 3 day long, 24 hour a day event held by id software in Dallas every year. Our tournaments are taking place in the BYOC (bring your own computer area), which has space enough to hold 3000 computers! Quakecon is the biggest LAN party in the US every year and we want to make our community a part of that!
Monsters Arcade is donating $2000 in prize money to make this a go to event for ALL fighting game fans. The $2000 will be split 4 ways for each game, $500 with a 70/20/10 split. We are also offering a way to support your game and to make each pot bigger. We will be taking donations through paypal until the 12th of August for your game of choice. Every dollar you donate will go directly into your games pot! This is a new system that allows you to show support for your game and it's community as a whole. Make sure that in the payment info you leave WHICH GAME you are donating for. There is no limit to how much or how little you can give.
This also allows us to make bigger payouts for more people:
$500-$599 70/20/10 split
$600-$799 70/15/10/5 split
$800+ 60/10/10/5/5/5/2.5/2.5 split
The reason this system was implemented is because Quakecon is a completely free event , and we would like to help them keep it that way. We are also aware that pot based payouts are ingrained into the fighting game community. Through much consideration and thought we came to this conclusion which we think benefits all parties. ANY concerns or questions, don't be afraid to contact us or post them right in the forums. We will answer them openly.
Remember all donations are COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY! All tournaments are free to enter as well as the venue. Super Street Fighter 4, Tekken 6, SSBB and Bazblue will happen either way. All donations will be recorded and posted accordingly unless the individual does not want their name posted. ALL payments are to be made through either PAYPAL: payments@gmma.us or in person at Monster's Arcade. Our address is 13626 Veterans Memorial Dr., Houston, TX 77014.
This is also the debut event for our "Gamecast" organization.

It is only with like minded people such as GMMA, HOBO and ACGC are we actually able to bring events such as this to the public.
