$3 at door Donation - This donation is neccesary to enter any event. It’s 1 time only and will go towards club overhead costs. Anyone who is not a member of the club must pay.
non-participants don’t have to pay if they don’t want to play casuals or eat any of the free pizza and so on. So if you have a girlfriend who just wants to hang out and cheer you on no worries about needing to pay the three dollars for her

Thats Seven big games, all featuring the best competitors to be found in the Northwest, entrants from Oregon, Washington and even Canada (hopefully)! Come and show everyone your skills in a large comfortable ballroom.

Expect this tournament to be even better than the infamous Winter Showdown! Hopefully we’ll have a few extra suprises this year, but those will come out as we get further into the planning stages, so you all will just have to wait and see!

Lodging:
For people who may need a place to stay, arrangements may be able to be made with various Portland hosts, hopefully some people will volunteer. Another option is to stay at the University Place Hotel (http://cegs.pdx.edu/stay/upl/)
A reduced rate for both parking and lodging can be attained for this Hotel if enough interest is shown, we are talking around 80 bucks total for 1 night of lodging plus parking, so if you had like 8 people in the room it would be very cheap. The rooms themselves are standard 2 bedroom hotel rooms. Just let us know if you will need this and we can talk to the school about getting reduced rates.

Everybody Get Hype! Once we get a schedule planned out I’ll make sure to post it up! Also we will probably once again need a few donations of equipment to help with the tournament but I need to make a list still and find out exactly what we need donated!

Oh and a Flyer should be coming a few more days!

Also I added a little section to the entree fees.
Added some rules.

I challenge that scrub andrew in smash 1st to 10 for $1,000. Do you accept masher

I personally think this tournament should be renamed to “PSU TRAILBLAZER FALL SHOWDOWN” or “PSU BULLS VS BLAZERS SHOWDOWN”

Either way, Blazers should be in the title somewhere. And yes, I will money match somebody in Bulls vs Blazers. Keep thinking I’m playing. You’ll get bodied by the 92 Sonics.

Was 92 when Shawn Kemp was playing? I think it was. Man I used to rock him hard in NBA jam! Loved those Sonics

Yup Kemp was with us then. The 90s was the golden era for us younger Sonics fans.

I just registered with the games that I thought I was gonna enter, but should I change my mind is there anyway I can edit what games I’m gonna enter?

I love how many people already signed up for KOF 98.

No. We can change them if you ask. Its not superrrr important because the program I’m using to make the brackets is really easy to add or remove people from the games. So you can even wait and change your mind when you show up to pay your entrance fees if you feel like. But if you decide you really want to change it just let us know and Fatbear can probably help you out.

Man fuck I hated the sonics and Rod Stricklands bitch ass for making us always lose to bitch ass Payton and Shawn Kemp. Man 94-97ish was horrible for us.

The best NBA game was live 96 which me and my friend played religiously. My squad had 5 Rex Chapmans. This dude would never miss a 3 esp. since his avg was like .94. Me and my friends would have games go up to 180 and shit.

Shit talk about somebody I hate, fuck Rex Chapman. I’ll never forget that ugly ass three he chucked up from an inbounds pass against the Sonics in the playoffs one year. Hail Mary luck bullshit shot. I hate Rex Chapman as much as I hate Dan Majerle, Nick Van Exel, Matt Maloney, and every other Sonics killer. Eff em!:mad:

At least you have a team though Sam. :sad:

Deezo/Frank/Kenny @ my place… expect greatness.

Hey, who the hell is driving my ass down there this time?

border patrol.

lawl.

jk.

i must avenge myself, should you choose to play 3s this time…

Haha I actually didn’t register for that. I am sort of tired of playing too many games at tourneys especially when I have no chance of winning. We will see though.

whatever.

mira mijo tenemos peliar en el third strike, el mas chingon juego del mundo.
me comprendes?
orale vato.

my dudley demands retribution.

i will play you in sf II st if you’ll play me in 3s.

that’s real talk.

the above still = suffering

can we start making avatars for this showdown?

Also I suggest contacting capcom and the evo team about this, we may get sponsorship.

huh how could we get sponsorship? why would they want to… especially evolution who lost alot of their big sponsors?

And feel free to make avatars for it!

Seth Killian specifically asked to be told about new capcom related events. Also Brent can correct me if I’m wrong, but we almost got sponsorship for PNW majors.

Not quite. We almost got some free stuff from Rockstar energy drink. Some free cases of Rockstar (100 cans or something), but I dropped the ball on it. We also could have gotten some help from Shoryuken if we had held a Soul Caliber 3 tournament, but that too much extra work. You guys may want to ask them if they have any plans to do something like that again?

Working hard over the next year to get a sponsorship for summer is one of the goals for the next PNW Majors. There is a lot of stuff I want to talk about for the next tourney, but I am just holding off on it until I finish everything with this last one. Should be done by today or tommorow.

man i dont play money matches for chump change like that. thats like how much i make in one day. you gotta put up at least 10k.
