2013 DokuSaru Tournament Series - Liege Belgium
Event 1 - Saturday August 17 at Smartoys Liège - SSF4AE.2012
10AM- 11PM
Hi guys,*
Most of you know me for my community managing/promo work for #FGC events like the WorldGameCup, the Stunfest or the Capcom Sreet Fighter 25th Anniversary French leg.*
For those that don’t know me yet, I’ve been around for what seems like forever as either Doc or kurama_tengu. Since 2001, I’ve helped organize dozens of events, where I ran pools, checked entrants at the sign-up booth, did web-design & copy/pasted promo messages all around the Web.
DokuSaru is my pet project: a series of events built to help my local community grow, to help its players old & new to reach the very top of International tournaments ladders. But most of all it’s a great opportunity to have loads of fun.
I’ve been living in Belgium for nearly 7 years now, it’s time to give back & so far the project is a real success ^^ (thanks so much for the help & support!).

We pay a fixed venue fee of 4€ per player, and we use a simple entry fee of 10€ for all tournaments whether it’s singles, 2v2 or 3v3, so the overall pricing will be a simple:

*The second player will have to pay the 4€ venue fee if he/she hasn’t done so already…
I most cases, we will use double elimination brackets. You will have two “lives” to spare: use them wisely.
