South Jersey's Newest Regional Tournament!
Top 5 Payout!
Introduction to South Jersey Championships
Hey what's up everyone, ready for a new tournament series? I've been running Thursday Night CLASH for a few months now, and it's time to move onto something bigger! Presenting South Jersey Championships, large events that take place during the weekend in South Jersey. These events will begin with primarily UMvC3 and SSF4AE with additional size events. These side events may become full events in subsequent SJC events based on popularity. I plan on hosting these every 2-3 months.
If you're ready to show off what you've got in a real competitive scene, this is the tournament for you.
All events will be streamed on http://www.clashstream.com aka http://twitch.tv/chibosempai

Price
To enter South Jersey Championships you pay a venue fee and a entry fee. The venue goes to paying for the cost of running the tournament, renting the venue, etc. All money collected from entry fees go 100% right back to the winners.
Venue Fee - $10
Entry Fee (UMvC3 & SSF4AE) - $10 each
Entry Fee (SFxT & SC5) - $5 each
You only need to pay the venue fee once if entering multiple events.

2nd Place - 22%
3rd Place - 14%
4th Place - 8%
5th Place - 4%
Side Events:
1st Place - 60%
2nd Place - 30%
3rd Place - 10%
What System?
All main events will be running on the Xbox 360. All side events will be ran on PS3. I do not want to run the same event on two different systems to prevent any complications with two players meeting in bracket that require different systems. With events on both systems, if you can only play on a certain system, we have an event for you. We currently have more 360 hardware than PS3, so we're going to go with 360 for the main events for the first event. You must still bring your own controller to use. I suggest you bring both a 360 and PS3 stick/pad to use if you want, or get it dual-modded if you are interested in all events.
Time and Tournament Operation
The event starts at 1:00pm, please be on time. Players may show up as early as noon, and you may practice on any set ups that are up before the event begins. Signups will start at 1:00pm for AE and end shortly after, where the bracket will then be created and started. UMvC3 signups and bracket will be made about halfway through the AE bracket. Side events will coincide with the main events.
Brackets will be a Double Elimination style, so no one is out of the tournament until they lose twice. The event will be seeded off of results from past TNC events, and some leniency to players who have not attended any of my past events. There will be some rough considerations as well for location/carpools if requested.
I am considering doing pools play for UMvC3, let me know your thoughts on this.
Rules
Rules will be your standard rules found at most FGC events. Winners can not change their character/order/ultra, while loser can. The tournament organizer has the final ruling on any disputes.
In Street Fighter x Tekken: THE PS3 EXCLUSIVE CHARACTERS WILL BE LEGAL! This is a side event and with the game coming out, I want to see people take advantage of this and have fun with the game and see how it works out. I will announce the rules for the gem system shortly after the game's launch, aka a few days before the event.
Stream
There will be a stream for every event at http://www.clashstream.com aka http://www.twitch.tv/vvv_chibosempai
Discounts
First six people to bring an Xbox 360 (HDMI compatible) with HDMI cable and power cord and a copy of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 or Super Street Fighter 4 AE (with 2012 patch) to use during the tournament get $5 off of their venue fee.
First four people to bring a PS3 with HDMI cable and power cord and a copy of Soul Calibur 5 or SFxT to use during the tournament get $5 off their venue fee.
I have some of my own HDMI cables, so some people don’t have to bring one if they don’t have it. Bring normal video cables just in case. We have around 8 TV/Monitors that use HDMI at the place, and I’ll have some older TVs as backup. We already have some systems and cables ready to use.
If you bring multiple setups, you may receive $5 discounts multiple times. If you happen to bring more than 2 setups, you will receive $5 cash for each extra setup. Basically, you just get $5 per setup, and since venue fee is $10, any setup past two gets you cash.
Bring a lagless monitor with an HDMI port we can play on during the tournament and you'll get $10 off your venue fee. Like with setups, if you already have free venue, you get it in cash. You can bring multiple monitors to get multiple discounts/money. I will accept the first 6 setups of these.
Discounts/money will only be provided if the setup is used. Meaning, if we already have say 5 monitors and 5 game systems, and someone brings two monitors and there are no systems to use for it, you won't get the discount for it. Same with systems that we don't have a monitor to play on.
So What Do You Need To Bring?
You need to bring the money in cash to enter the event, your own stick/pad to play on, all your friends that love these fighters, and BRING THE HYPE!
