Well North East Championship 12; which is basically the most important tournament in North America for the Soulcalibur community is this weekend! Most are considering this the last hurrah for SC4 and this is also the first hands-on public appearance for SC5 and TTT2 in America.
Originally, we toiled with the idea of not doing a "team" tournament this time around... but after numerous complaints we have decided to bring it back; but slightly altered. We will be doing a team tournament, but the teams will be "random". Players name's will be placed in a hat, and players will be paired up at random.
Signup for the SC4 Random Team Tournament begins at 1:00pm on Saturday, December 3. Registration will close at 1:45pm; Because we need a number of players divisible by 3, if we don't get a rounded number of players, the last player or two will have their entries refunded... Signup for the SC4 Singles tournament will begin immediately towards the end of the Team tournament.

Odashima-san, Utoh-san and FilthieRich from Namco-Bandai will be in attendance all weekend for the festivities. In addition, they will be sticking to twitter and running contests for the stream watchers. Who knows what the prizes will be, but tune in if you want to find out!
There are TWO streams during NEC. The "main" stream will cover the main 2D fighters and will be broadcasted by TeamSp00ky. However, I'm sure you would rather watch our stream. Both streams are provided in high definition and are completely FREE! So we kindly ask that you disable your ad-blockers while watching so we can earn some advertisement revenue.
Bibulus also wants to do some interviews with Odashima-san; so if you have any questions, post them in the comments and I'm sure he'll consider them.
