After planning 5 of these events, I assure you all that this is by far the best. I know you have a lot of choices in events this weekend but I think you will be happy if you choose to attend ours!

Either way I am very happy to see the growth of the fighting scene of the last half decade! Everyone keep hosting great events!!

Looking forward to running this years Blazblue, Tekken 6, and Street Fighter 4 tournaments, but please sign up now because pre-registered spots are going quick!!!

ok guys and gals, I changed the location for all fighting tournaments to “WLC 203 & 206” which means you can now register for any of the 5 fighting tournaments you want no matter if they have are in different rooms or have time conflicts!

It will be your responsibility to not cause a time conflict until next year when I change the registration system to be time based not location based…

Smash Brothers is of course exempt from this exception. That darn tournament is so huge you have to basically dedicate your entire day to doing it and won’t have much time for anything else… Although the tournament director does have some cool ideas to handle all 128 people and allow them to know within 15 minutes or so when their next round will happen!

If only I could purchase those Restaurant Beepers! Darn ebay auctions always break 4 figures when you look up a 128 pager system, but I’ll be damned if that wouldn’t be cool!!
