<h5 class=“uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper” data-ft="{“type”:1,“tn”:“K”}">Hey all, a couple of things. !!! SCHEDULE CHANGE !!! Guilty Gear will now start at 1:30 PM Persona 4 Arena will now start at 5 PM 
We want to remind you that Ignite allows outside food, and you are able
to order delivery, (Kuma’s Corner ain’t too far either…). Just as
well, they have snacks, shakes, smoothies, and more available at their
cafe. I also need some more confirmed consoles. If you can
bring a console, please confirm with me so that you can get a waive on
your venue fee. Thanks, and please share this event! Lets makes this first Ignite tourney of the year a memorable one!</h5>

I’m definitely going out here I live near south Chicago and am ready for these beatdowns!!

I have a ps3 and tv and kof and ttt2 on the harddrive if I bring this and pay no fee can I still win the tournament?

the venue fee and tournament entry fees are separate. By providing the console (with the assumption that you can stay the majority of the time), you don’t have to pay venue fee, but you still need to fork up the $10 to enter your games of choice.

Also, please message me privately to confirm your console. I can’t promise it to everyone, especially if you don’t let me know for sure outside of this thread.

Super Special Announcement! @Phreakazoid will be donating an original drawing of the Painwheel symbol by Alex Ahad. All those that enter Skullgirls will automatically be entered in a raffle for it!<div> <div>Just as well @Duckator and myself will be providing a pot bonus for Skullgirls. For every entrant, we will add $5 to the pot (effectively making it a $10 entry game). Can you dig it? </div></div>
