It was on an Arcade Cab with American Sticks, and the format was Single Match with Double Elimination. The store that held the event is right off the 5 Freeway, so it’s very easy to get to. And the Beach, Food, Shops, Bars, etc. are all right in that area.
I spoke to the guys running the event, and I mentioned that they might be able to draw more ST players if the event was on a Saturday instead of a Friday. I know getting to North County San Diego at 6 PM on a Friday is pretty impossible for a lot of people. So let me know if a Saturday time would be better, and I can pass it on to them. They seemed pretty open to the idea, and they do plan to hold more of these events in the future.
Also, they have a full time ST Arcade Cabinet (w/ American Sticks) in the store, and it’s set to Free Play and open to anyone who wants to come in and play it whenever the store is open (10 AM - 6 PM Tuesday - Saturday).
