Hello again SRK members…
It’s been almost a year since our last major Street Fighter tournament. SO… We are happy to bring you a very big (and very delayed) announcement. A large scale gaming event will be taking place at the La Crosse Center in La Crosse, WI on May 1st, 2010. The event is called Focus Fire and it will consist of a variety of tournaments being played, most importantly Super Street Fighter IV.
Just in case any of you have forgotten, last year we ran a SFIV tourney on May 30th: http://www.gaminggenerations.com/forum/gaming-generations-1500-lacrosse-wi-sf4-tournament-results-t1006.html
Some G.G. staff members were also at EVO 2009
We will be streaming FOCUS FIRE all day.

1st Important Note: The prizes are still building. More and more businesses are donating towards this event. We are in the middle of working with 2 very large companies that are looking to possibly donate a large amount of cash. If this happens the prizes will sky rocket up. We should know full details by next week.
2nd Important Note: This event is 100% free. That’s right, it costs $0 to enter this event and all other events going on this day.
3rd Important Note: This event will be taking place at the La Crosse Center. This means we have 15,000 sq. ft. to work with in just the arena alone. Check out pictures: http://www.gaminggenerations.com/forum/sneak-peak-focus-fire-tournament-area-la-crosse-center-t1548.html
4th Important Note: The La Crosse Center will have their concession stand open all day and into the night. They will be serving alcohol to all who are over 21 (I suppose this should be the 1st important note).
5th Important Note: You may play in other tournaments that are taking place at Focus Fire. So if Street Fighter isn’t your main game, then you can enter another tournament or try and win misc. prizes from vendor’s.
6th Important Note: Sign ups are from 9a.m. - 12 noon Sat. May 1st @ La Crosse Center box office & the tournament starts at 2p.m. Please note this tournament is limited to 128 players. You will be able to practice on the screens before the tournament starts.
7th Important Note: If you would like to bring your own setup (BYOS), meaning t.v. gaming system and controllers to practice on while you wait to play in the tournament or to host side tournaments on, feel free to! We will have extra tables setup for this reason.
This is a great event to help tune up your skills for the Midwest Championships 2010 on May 8th & 9th in Chicago!

We understand some of you may be upset due to the fact that we are not using PS3 consoles. We decided to use Xbox 360’s this year again because we have many in stock ready to use.There will be no PS3 controller converters available like last year as there were to many complaints about them.
