The US SBO representatives chosen at this event (3 TK players and 1 SC player) will get their roundtrip plane tickets to SBO paid for. (with some limitations)
Please note that you should only enter this qualifying tournament if you are willing and able to fly to Japan and compete in SBO finals taking place on August 10th weekend. Please do not enter the tournament if you can not compete in the finals in Japan as it can skew rankings for other US hopefuls.
I am personally financing the US team’s plane tickets to Japan. The entry fee will be used to help defray that cost. If you can not attend SBO finals but would like to make a contribution to team USA, I will accept donations at the event.
looks like a great event. was this already approved by golfland management? funds are being taken from the pot and used to reimburse for the plane tickets right?
i know from talking with my manager (yes i know its a different golfland), that golfland tournaments weren’t supposed to do that. maybe i am mistaken.
the only reason im bringing it up is just in case they had a problem with it (they probably wouldnt) it would be something to consider.
and you CANT have duplicate characters on the same team? interesting.
The SC3 quals will take place only on Sat. It will only spill over to Sunday if we are unable to finish on Sat, but that seems unlikely based on the low number of interest.
The SC3 machine is on a standard US big screen cabinet with US joysticks.
Actually, there should be no issue at all finishing in 1 day. And Sat will be the big TK singles which will make SVGL really crowded. And since TK SBO quals will take place on Sunday, let’s just hold the SC3 quals on Sunday.
Thanks to everyone that donated to Team USA so far. As promised, here are the names of these much appreciated community members:

Donations can be sent via paypal to johnwchoi@hotmail.com or PM me to discuss other methods. Please put “Team USA Donation” as the subject line. I will update this post with the names of everyone that donated.
Please note that at the conclusion of the SBO qualifiers, I will be awarding the winners an official SBO award certificate and a passcard(looks like a credit card) to allow you entry into SBO finals in Japan. So please stick around to receive those. Also, be prepared to give me your contact information (email, phone number) so that I can coordinate the free plane ticket with you.
