does anyone know what affordable accomodations there are?? I'm planning on going but I want to know where I can sleep...

btw, I'm heading over from Taiwan (not sure if it makes any difference...)
 
Hi Silly Cat, It'll be great to have you over here!
There are many budget hotels in Singapore fairly near to the tournament venue for around SGD$78 a night.

If you're willing to travel a bit further 35 minute by bus, 16 minute and SGD$8.50 by cab. You can find hotels for SGD$58.

I'm not too familiar with the hotels in Singapore, but this is one that I pass by fairly often.

http://www.fragrancehotel.com/landing/ <-- They have rooms at these prices too!
 
cool, thanks ShenOu maybe I'll see you there! once i got my tickets sorted that is.

so there's no accomodation deals for people attending the tourny??
 
Nope, It's a one day event and we only had about 6 weeks to organise the tournament so we couldn't find out how much overseas interest we'll have and approach the hotels :(

This is first event of this scale, we'll definitely look into partnering hostels for the next one! :)
 
Here we go. I hope my short time with Mitsu is enough, lool. Just be there to enjoy myself, hahaha.

Wireless controllers, not provided by the venue, are strictly BANNED from this event.

Woah, guess I cant bring along my X360 controller then.
