SUMMARY
Our second ARK tournament has come and gone and it was just as successful as last time! Some events had more entrants, some had less, but overall we had a great turnout and hope everyone had a fantastic time. We thank everyone for making it out and supporting our community, especially our out of state entrants! I’ll save all the shoutouts for the second post though.
Like before, Super Street Fighter IV had the most entrants at 43, while Tatsunoko vs. Capcom had only 7. The Mystery Game Tournament, a new addition and considered by some to be the main event, had 10 entrants. The total pot money for our tournaments ended up being $1130 with $430 of that going to the Super Street Fighter IV pot (of which first place received $301).
Also like ARK I, we had participation from five different states (Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee, and Arkansas). Unfortunately, we had less participation from Oklahoma and Missouri, but a much better turnout from Texas and Tennessee. Each state took home prize money as Oklahoma’s AnimeFreak took first in BlazBlue, Tennessee’s Lil Majin took first in Tekken, Arkansas’ Chamberlin, Edison, Meximelt, and Yosh took firsts in Melee, Mystery Tournament, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, and Brawl respectively, Texas’ FindMyFarms and Team Jop took firsts in SSFIV Singles and Teams respectively, and Missouri’s Warden took 2nds in the Mystery Tournament and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.
