Schneider-X
[11] Champion
It's official. The big one is coming. "That Summer Tournament" aka TST is back! We still have a lot to announce but we wanted to get that date out there so you guys have a lot of time to prepare. Mark it down on your calendars. Book that time off. Tell all your friends. We want to make this one our biggest and we need you to make it possible.
We're doing some heavy discussion behind the scenes for the next couple weeks so expect info to be revealed earlier than usual but it is definitely time to get hype!
----------------------
Date: August 11th - 12th, 2012
Venue:
As promised. This year's TST will be taking place outside the UofM. It has been confirmed for Canad Inns on Pembina by the Tavern if you're familiar. Here's the full address and the room number:
Ambassador Room A
Canad Inns Destination Centre Fort Garry
1824 Pembina Highway
Winnipeg, MB R3T 2G2
ph: (204) 261-7450 fx: (204) 261-5433
tf: 1-888 33-CANAD (22623)
Venue Fee: 5$
Yes, there is a registration fee this year. It's necessary to cover the costs of the venue rental. However, if you don't wish to enter tournaments, site entrance is still free and gets you access to casual play, exhibitions, and/or money matches.
Registration usually begins 1 or 2 hours before each tournament, so get there early and warm up some too.
If you wish to enter any tournament, you pay for the tournament entry fees on top of the 5 dollars.

This is largely a BRING YOUR OWN STICKS/CONTROLLER event but.
The console equipment will be labeled and registered to ensure its safety. However, please be careful with your sticks. Furthermore, if you know you’re attending and you do not have a stick to use, make sure you have a friend who can donate.
For pad/PS2 stick players, we tend to have PS2 pads and/or converters around, but don't take this as confirmation of us having them there for you. Bring your own to be safe as opposed to sorry.
