If a player fails show up 10 minutes after being called for his/her match, then he/she will be disqualified.

We would like to allow the tournament(s) to run smoothly & on time, so please try to arrive on time for your match-- in order to make things easier for everyone.

To avoid being disrespectful towards the EVO staff, I asked if it was all right to create a thread, but since no one responded and I see that other people have made threads for side tournaments at EVO, I ASSUME it should be all right. I understand that many GG players rarely or do not post at DL (or post more at SRK), so please post if you are interested in entering, have suggestions, etc. Also, there is additional information in the Thread at Dustloop: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?11445-Guilty-Gear-XX-AC-Side-Tournament(s)-Evo2k11-Singles-amp-3v3-Teams-(tentative)

I would like to announce that we are indeed adding a small pot bonus of $50! The pot bonus will be split 70/20/10, I know it’s not much, but most side tourneys don’t even have a pot bonus afaik – IMO, It’s not all about the money, I want everyone to get hype, have fun, improve, and support Guilty Gear!<3<3<3
So you guys better show up to support your game, get dat money, and quite possiby fight RF!

*** Sadly, teams started MUCH LATER than expected/many players did not exactly know when teams would start, so some were unable to enter. Still, 40 players in a last-minute side tournament is not bad, IMO. And we thank the EVO staff for being kind enough to allow us to finish teams while the MvC3 5 on 5 was going on-- thank you so much <3**

EVO GGXXAC Team & Singles videos are being uploaded to Soniti’s Youtube channel:

I thank everyone who entered the GGXX: AC side tournaments at EVO & the EVO Staff for ALLOWING us to run it, and congrats to the winners (RF, Elvenshadow, AKA, Hellmonkey, Marline Pie, etc.). Obviously, many things went wrong and I understand that some are angry, but if my sister & I ever get the chance/honor to do it again (or at least help a great bit), I am certain that things will be A LOT BETTER, and with many back-up plans in place. I also thank those of you who helped us with calling/finding people, using the laptop, etc… It was nice seeing everyone again, and I hope that all of you will continue to play GG (we had RF, the SBO champion, as well as many strong, OG players)-- GG is still hot and there is hope for it, as long as we support it <3

Again, much thanks to The EVO staff (Wizard, The Cannons, etc) and the Broken-Tier gentlemen for allowing us to run the tournament/giving us space for it.
