Each game will have a maximum cap of 32 contestants per game.[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]Q: I only payed $5 for the venue fee last time and now this time around it’s $15 for the venue? What gives?[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]A: Exactly. What gives? We give. Last BOTB every paying entrant received 2 magazines, a gang of stickers, free canned soda, free bottled water, and 5 raffle tickets that gave the entrant the chance to win custom hand-painted fighting game artwork, tee shirts, hats, and jackets. You can bet your sweet gaming ass that there will be even more free goodies, drinks, raffles, and more…[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
