VENUE FEE:​
$15 for all day
If you bring a TV, then the venue fee will be $10
If you bring a System + one of the tourney games featured, the venue fee will be $10*
If you bring a TV and a system + one of the tourney games featured, the venue fee will be $5
You can also bring a megaphone and get an additional $5 off the venue fee! So if you bring a TV, a system, and a working megaphone, you can get in for free!

PLEASE LABEL ALL ITEMS THAT ARE YOURS.

*Obviously, since only Soul Calibur 2 and GGAC are on PS2, only the first 4-5 people bringing a PS2 will get the $5 off. Similarly, only the first 3 people brining a gamecube plus a copy of Naruto GNT:4 will get $5 off. 360s and PS3s plus MvC3/SSFIV/BBCS2/AH3/Tekken6 will get $5 off no matter what, even if I have an excess of them. In addition, if you bring a system but use it for a game not featured in the tournament (like mortal kombat 9 for casuals), then you will NOT get the $5 off. Also, if you bring a TV and a system with one of the games, you will get the $10 off automatically.​


Tournament prices:​
$10 - SSFIV AE, MvC3, AH3, BBCS2, GGAC,T6, Naruto GNT4
$5 - Soul Calibur 2, Mystery tournament


Schedule ​
11:00AM - SSFIV AE, MvC3
12:00PM - AH3, GG#AC, Naruto:GNT4
3:00PM - T6, Mystery Tournament
4:00PM - Soul Calibur 2, BBCS2
8:00PM - Raffle

As far as side tourneys are concerned, I'll allow them AFTER the main tournaments are finished. So if the person running SSFIV AE wants to run a team tournament, that's fine as long as it's near the end of the singles tournament. We only have the venue until midnight, meaning at 11:00, it's time to stop and start to clean up. However, if everyone brings all their games and tries to throw side tourneys, there might not be enough time, space, or setups. We have 1 day to run 9 tournaments, and I want to give people plenty of time to play casuals as well.


Raffle:​
Just like at Jan 2010 Frosty Faustings, there will be another raffle. Many items will be given away for free! It requires you to write your name down on a sheet of paper, and then toss it in a basket or bag or something! Many people enjoyed the items they recieved at the last raffle, and because of the positive reaction, I am looking forward to doing it again, FREE OF CHARGE! you just have to have paid the venue fee!

I know this is 2 weeks after Evo, but I think that it would be a waste if people practiced for Evo and then there weren't any events after that! Let's get a big turnout everyone! If you have any questions, feel free to ask here!

Venue rules:
(This is actually important)
-No loitering in the hallways. This is the main rule. We're gonna have a big venue room, and the hotel staff is nice enough to toss in a smaller ballroom with 20 seats or so in it for people to hang out in. They say that there will also be an outdoor patio nearby with chairs and tables that seats 50 people or so. So even if you're not in the main ballroom, there's a couple places you can hang out, as long as it's NOT the hallways. This is the main important thing, and the staff WILL get on our case about it. Worst case scenario is that if people keep loitering, they're going to shut the event down, so please let's avoid this from happening and use the space provided!
-Don't bring your own food. There's vending machines, a hotel gift shop, and a hotel restaurant. You can bring food from any of those three places into the ballroom, but aside from that, you can't bring your own food. It's hotel policy, and I apologize for that, but again, hotel rules. I would suggest eating breakfast beforehand or something. The staff will come in and check every once in a while, so if they see you eating, you're going to have to give them your food to throw away or go outside to eat. You can also eat in your own hotel room, obviously.


Shoutouts to Kobayashi for setting up the venue!​
 
Yeah, understand everyone fellates that game and that you used to be big on it and whatnot, but I don't think there'd be any more randoms joining that than there would be for SC4.

Still, will let the Chicago players I know of know.
 
August is only 2 months away. I only come to the states once every year and a half or so, so I've had this tournament planned out for much longer than that. I just only recently got the venue 100% booked, though. Plus, I want to give people enough time to plan ahead for it!

Since the tourney is only a 1 day tournament, there's no room for MK9, as it's actually way too big. The focus is mainly games that don't get enough love from major tournaments, plus the token SSFIV/MvC3. However, I have no issues with people bringing a TV/system and putting MK9 on a casuals TV or running a side tournament for it, but I can't have it as one of the main games, sorry.

And I actually had a more positive reaction from people for SC2 than I did for SC4 (in the planning stages, I asked people which they would prefer, SC2 or SC4). A lot of people said they would play SC2 based off reminiscence factor alone, and that they don't like SC4 enough to travel for a tournament for it. I actually have really high hopes that SC2 will get a positive response from this tournament! I understand that a lot of people who are serious tournament players play the most recent game, but a lot of the people who I talked to who are interested in coming are, not surprisingly, old SC2 players, so of course I'll throw a tournament for the game that I know I'll have support in rather than hoping that a few people come for SC4. As i said about MK9 though, I have no problems with you coming and bringing an SC4 setup, though!

Either way, I'm appreciate the support from both of you guys, thank you!
 
Ok nana. Since i plan to apply for colleges in Japan I'll get to see you more anyways. I'll need to track down a copy of SC2 and relearn the game myself. I never played it at a high level. And I feel sad this couldn't be longer. Sigh...I might as well stick to Cs2, Sc2, and ah3 when i get there. I like your prices btw.
 
Gonna get to see you again Rob! Hopefully anyway. Some epic matches gotta take place.

CY, colleges in Japan? Where you gettin money for that??
 
CY - Word. If you have any questions, just lemme know.
The reason why I couldn't make it longer is because I'm not going to be in the US for that long, so making a 2 day tourney event would take an extra weekend day away. But yeah, glad you're coming, and practice up that SC2!

Damien - Word, I expect you to be there. Practice up on SC2 so you don't lose to me AGAIN. ;)
 
Pond- Well, I'm smart as hell. So, it will be paid for.

Nana- Ok. BTw, how are things in Japan after the earthquake and tsunami. Also, do you still play Blazblue?
 
The earthquake/tsunami didn't have much of an affect on the area that I live in. Supposedly, the rebuilding is going well in the affected areas, though.

And yes, I still play Blazblue, just not in tournaments.
 
:( I wanted to play you. Anyways, I was lucky and i found a copy of Sc2 at Gamestop. One more question before I let you go. We're playing Sc2 on a PS2? Or are we playing it on a ps3?
 
It will be played on PS2. I tried playing SC2 on a ps3 once and it lagged. If you can bring a PS2 with the game, thatd be great!

And we can play some BB at the tourney in casuals. Just ask me sometime before/after the BB tourney. Most likely after will be easier.
 
Just a reminder that this tourney is happening in only a few days! Many SC2 OG players will be in attendance! If you played during the SC2 days, you won't want to miss this!
 
suuuuup damien!!! :)
