You dont have to be a registered user to see the thread, but quick rundown:

Venue opens: 11AM

Registration for every game will end 15 minutes before Brawl doubles, and 30 minutes before all other events. Things will actually start on time (or as close to humanly possible on time as a videogame tournament can be). If you do not think you will get here before registration ends for a game, have someone sign you up, or let me know well before the time limit so I can put you in myself.

At 8pm, we will start every individual game semis/finals. Every game will be played down to top 4-6 (depending on time constraints), which will then be saved for the finals section. They will go in order of tourneys: (Brawl doubles top 4, then SFxT top 4-6, then Marvel top 4-6, finished off by braw singles top 4. If marvel is not down to top 4 by the time its to be streamed/played, it will switch with brawl singles in stream/play order

Being 5 Dollar Footdives, you can imagine that everything is $5 each:

Door Fee: $5
Brawl Singles: $5
Brawl Doubles: $5
SFxT Singles: $5
SFxT Doubles: $5
UMVC3, KoF13, SC5, BBCSEX, AE, MK: $5 each

For any singles event, if there are 16 or more entrants, payout percentages are as follows:
Singles Payouts A: 40/25/15/10/5/5
If there are 15 or less entrants, payout percentages are as follows:
Singles Payouts B: 50/25/15/10

For Brawl & SFxT doubles, anything over 8 teams will have the payout percentages:
Doubles Payouts A: 50/25/15/10
For Brawl & SFxT doubles, for 7 teams or less:
Doubles Payouts B: 60/25/15

Sore Thumbs is providing 6 to 8 360's with LCD TVs. If you want MK, SC5, and/or BlazBlue run on PS3, bring your system & disc. GDX is able to provide a full setup for XBOX 360 and Wii. We will need more Wii's to run Brawl in a timely manner. Next Level Lan has some CRT tvs that aren't being used, so bring everything you can.

Also if you have any spare PC microphones that would also help. My current streaming equipment only composite inputs, but I do have a cables for both 360 and wii to fit.

For those who do bring a full setup for any game, you will get entry into a drawing to where two different winners will get reimbursed their $5 door fee by me personally (which you can then use at a Subway down the street if you really want to )


Sorry for the late notice. Didn't know Steve hadn't already posted this here. Everyone in Orlando, try and show up!
 
No melee?
Eh, why do I care, I live in Michigan and don't even like Melee.
But, no Melee? I'm more into Brawl myself.
