Welcome to the first event from CrossXover! This event has been months in the making and we plan to hold a number of more timely events in the future, look forward to hearing a lot more from us in the future!
Pre-register by emailing crossXoverSFU@gmail.com with CrossXover Registration in the subject line or write on CrossXover Japan Relief’s wall on Facebook. Provide your name, Preferred handle and which tournaments you will be registering for.
Sign up sheets have been placed at 786 Game Stop in Central City and both Game Deals stores in New West and Gastown, ask for it. The sheets will be checked every 2 weeks starting on June 6, so expect that long for confirmation.
The event is to be held on Friday July 8 and Saturday July 9. Registration for the main event on both days starts at 11:00 am but doesn’t end when the first event starts. So as long as you register before your desired event, it’s all good!
CrossXover Japan Relief is a charity tournament with the proceeds going directly to Japan disaster relief fund. Though that isn’t to say there will be a lack of awesome prizes.
Getting there: Skytrain is the easiest and probably most cost effective way. Simply Skytrain to Surrey Central Station, get off and head across the bus loop towards Central City Mall. Head up the stairs then turn right and follow the stairs up. The big podium is where the event is held. The mall only has 3 hour parking so those coming via car have to move their cars every 3 hours.
