P4U entry fee: $5
TTT2U entry fee: $5
The entry fees are starting modestly to give players a chance to come out and experience these great fighting games. To aid in this effort, we are abolishing the venue fee with the hopes of getting kids up and out of their basements and back into the community to play some games and catch up with friends.

How Tag Teams Work: The Tekken Tag Tournament 2 event is designed to be a pair play event. Similar to Street Fighter x Tekken, we will be using USB 2.0 hubs for newer PS3s (The XBox 360 and original PS3 do not require USB hubs as far as I’m aware). Please find a partner for your team and register together. Please practice tag mechanics (you don’t have to practice together, although that would be optimal) to familiarize yourself with the game in a partner-based situation. If you do not have a partner at the time of the event, I will work with you to pair you with other partnerless players. Let’s make this a fun team event!
Special Events: If we have any time left after the tournament, we may do a Persona 5v5 Team Exhibition or a Tekken Tag 2 Team Exhibition. We will discuss this more on game day.
Timeliness: Please show up on time. Please be ready for your matches on time. The tournament will begin promptly at 3:00 p.m… DQing a player will be the first option barring any emergencies. Please contact me for questions or to notify me of an emergency if you will be late due to an emergency. I will not promote tardiness.
Disqualification Notice: Any rule which involves a DQ will be a full tournament disqualification. Not a round, not a game and not a set. You will be removed from the tournament completely. Please be sure to avoid any unnecessary heartbreak by being prepared at all times.
Our efforts cannot be complete without help from the community. Please being any setups we can use for play: this includes monitors, systems and sticks. If you can help by bringing a system, please be sure to bring one wired controller to use for interfacing with the system. No matter what you bring, please mark your belongings in order to prevent confusion and/or theft.
Thank you for your time and please look forward to this great event. There are many things in the works for Rochester’s fighting scene, but none of those things can be successful without the backing of the players. Please come out and support your scene!
