Rumble in the Tundra III- $500+ BONUS pot
Event Calendar: Soulcalibur Tournaments
AkazukinChaCha
[70] Platinum King
Event Location: Buffalo, NY

Location: Buffalo NY- keep reading punk:

By now most of you now know Buffalo is for real when it comes to fighting game communities, and that we have numerous underrated players and efficiently run tournaments. We aim to up the ante yet again.

Bringing in a POT BONUS for SF4 and SC4!! (details below)

With all the hype out there for crap ass tournaments run by people who don't have a clue on how to run shit, and let the inmates run the prison at their events, you can EXPECT better in Buffalo.

There will be:

- Huge pot bonuses, worth traveling for (will hopefully get larger by time of event)
- An extremely well organized and run tournament for each game.
- Brackets that WILL start on time and END on time
- No hassle or deception, 100% of the money goes to the players
- A large crowd, this tourney grows every time we hold it
- Space for everyone, no more cramping in small ass venues

I hope the BONUS + pot money will garner a little more travel interest from NYC, NJ, PA, OH, MA and MI. I want to see everyone possible make it, this will be an event to remember, please spread word and help this thing grow.

So on to the details you actually CARE about:

Date:
Saturday, November 14, 2009


Location: University of Buffalo- Student Union Assembly Room (North Campus)

http://www.buffalo.edu/community/vis...ons_north.html

For those coming off the 290, get off at the Millersport exit and take Millersport North to Flint Rd (should be first intersection, if Flint isnt the first intersection with a light then you are going the wrong way on Millersport)
- Make a Left on Flint Rd
- Proceed on Flint into UB campus
- Make a right on Ausburger Rd (if the street isn't labled it's not Ausburger)
- Proceed to the parking lots immediately to your left, but park towards their middle section (Jacobs Lot)
- WALKING directions from here:
- Head up the first walkway leading away from those parking lots (towards Jacobs Hall, passing it on your left)
- Cross Putnam Rd and continue in between Baldy Hall and Lockwood Library through a walkway.
- The Student Union is directly in front of you now, head to the first floor, make a left down the first hallway near the stairs and you will be at the assembly room (rm 145)

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&rl...-8&sa=N&tab=wl


Time: Doors open at 12pm for casuals, tourneys start at 2pm.

(may be slight delay to any early birds as we have to wait for building maintenance to give the "ok" on the room when it is being set up, stupid University politics at work here)

Venue Fee: FREE

=====================================================

Tournaments (double elim):


StreetFighter 4: $10 entry (1st-70%, 2nd-20%, 3rd- 10%) $300 POT BONUS added on top of pot!!
Best 2 of 3 rounds, 2 of 3 matches
PS3, all normal tournament rules apply. All characters legal.


SoulCalibur 4: $10 entry (1st-70%, 2nd-20%, 3rd- 10%) $200 POT BONUS added on top of pot!!
Best 3 of 5 rounds, 2 of 3 matches, default time/life/gauge
PS3 only, all characters allowed except bonus


Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion: $10 entry (1st-70%, 2nd-20%, 3rd- 10%)
Best 3 of 5 rounds, 2 of 3 matches, default time/life/gauge
PS3, no bannings as of yet. If game gets pushed back on release, we will hold a DR tourney instead


BlazBlue: $10 entry (1st-70%, 2nd-20%, 3rd- 10%)
ps3, best 2 of 3 rounds, 2 of 3 matches, default settings
No character bans, easy special binds are banned
(will be run secondary after first round of tournies is finished)

Marvel vs Capcom 2: $10 Entry (winner takes all- pending on turnout if large, will have split)
2 of 3 matches, 360 version, standard tourney rules
Bring your OWN sticks for this, because we know how marvel players treat them :)
If players would prefer DC or PS3 version, please let me know.
(Will be run last due to lowest interest generated, should have 360 casuals all day)


So again, we had a huge turn out at RitT 2 despite no hype, over 70 players showed up. We plan on even MORE being here this time for that extra pot money.

If you have any questions on crash space, directions, tourney ideas, side tourney ideas or anything, PLEASE ASK and keep this thread HYPED.

The tourney will be run well and done in a timely fashion, all you have to do is- SHOW UP and STOP TALKIN MESS FROM BEHIND THAT KEYBOARD.

see you soon!

    Cha Cha: Please rig the brackets. I wanna be in the same bracket as Thugish, Something-Unique, Dreamkiller, Ramon, and OOFMATIC. Being my final tournament, please hurry up and 2-0 me. I've never come dead last before. Haha.

    Some Helpful tips to those attending the tourney:


    - Due to stipulations, we won't officially have access to the room (rm 145) until 12pm, though we may set up before them. Due to this we are forced to start tournies at 2pm.

    -LABEL YOUR STUFF if you are bringing extra set ups or even just an extra controller, it is best to label it so no one confuses it for their own, label it uniquely

    -Food options, there is a student commons food court outside the union, it has burger king, subway, pizza, noodle shop and an asian/indian buffet, plus a convenience store. They are about a 3 minute walk BUT remember to be responsible about your time, we'd like to NOT have to search for people to be where they need to be when they are called. Prepare ahead, eat before you come so we can start quickly.

    -We have the room until 1am, I plan on using it until then, so that answers how long you can stay until if you want. There are cheap motels right outside campous if you need an emergency place to stay.

    -The room itself is in the middle of the union on the 1st floor, you access it by hallway, it is not out in the open, it is a series of rooms that are normally subdivided, but are combined for this, we will have way too much room.

    good luck and I hope to see you there!!!!

    There is a free UFC event that night - you know of anywhere we can watch it? Is there free wireless internet at this location?

    This is an important question.


    Also, looks like Jer, Benjy and I are definitely going to be there. Probably until 1am when they kick us out.

    Since when? I thought there was only like 2 places in Buffalo that showed UFC because everyone else wants to maintain their "family atmosphere" or some shit? And no way in fucking hell are we going to Wild Wings again after last time.

    Cha: The address on the 1st page does not help. I know i got there before but that's because we had Juniors GPS. No Junior on this trip so i have to rely on googlemaps. Can you give me a complete address please? Something that googlemaps can detect.
