Special Main Event:
[COLOR=“Lime”]
“Street Fighter III: 3rd strike Team Tournament”

  • Time: When the RanBat Grand Finals finish.
  • Entry fee: $10 cover charge (if you have already payed for the Ranking Battle cover charge you’re all set).
  • Pot money: $15 ($5 per person), free play mode.
  • Prizes: 1st place = 70%, 2nd place = 20%, 3rd place = 10%*******

Rules:

  • Teams of 3
    • If you can not fulfill your team of 3, then you may choose to play alone, but you’ll be the only person on your team meaning: you lose one match you lose that game. There will still be a $15 entry fee. :arazz: :arazz: :arazz: *******

Single Match, Double Elimination rules:

  • Each team will have their players play single matches (there is no 2/3 or 3/5 matches in this tournament). If your team loses against one team, you are still alive and able to continue in the tournament. But if your team loses twice in the tournament, you are eliminated.
    • For example, Winner’s Bracket: If Player A of Team 1 defeats Players A, B, C on Team 2, Team 1 wins against that team and advances on to the next match in the Winner’s bracket. Team 2 will be also be able to continue in the tourney, but that will be in the Loser’s bracket. Don’t forget that you still have a chance for 1st place even though you are in the Loser’s bracket.[/color]

japan at tga wtf just tell people smooths coming and its a wrap

Issei!!! I’m so there

hmmm fuck u

yo gavin i want to go to this how much i got to throw u for gas

I got my liscense so i’m def going…but i wouldn’t mind if someone could bring me, cause driving at night = really uncomfortable still… well i’m uncomfortable with driving in general >_<

So i’ll pitch in gas or w/e to anyone who can grab me.

Also anyone want me on their team? :slight_smile:

ugh you people and your last resorts: paying for gas… AGHHHH WHY CAN’T ANY OF YOU JUST DRIVE LIKE ME??? :arazz: :arazz: :arazz:

Where exactly is Winchenden and how far is it from Boston or Worcester?

Winchendon, MA is approx. an hour away from Boston.
EDIT*: Sorry, its actually about an hour away from Worcester also.

i’m gonna try and show up…i have to redeem myself after my abysmal performance @ opening day -_-.

So if you pay the flat rate fee. Your able to enter every game thats listed? Cause the only entry fee I see is for 3s team? So how much is to enter each individual game and how much does top 3 actually get? Or is it a free tourney basically?

Its $10 to get in basically. Then its $2 per game you want to enter (that $2 is for the pot, winner takes all).

Everything will be on freeplay that day, as long as you pay that 10 you’re straight.

The 3s team tourney will be $15 per team. and the prize is the pot money for 1st 2nd 3rd placers.

EDIT!: Sorry sorry, but there has been a change in the date. The tournament will be on Saturday, August 12th! The schedule needs to be changed due to technical difficulties (some cabs need to be sent to fix) and staff member shortage.:sweat: :wasted: :confused:

screw you gavin why can’t you guys do it a week or two earlier i’ll be in cali dammit. Haha it’s all good. I’ll probably stop by TGA in a week or two need to play you again.

:tup:

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech!

Can’t wait to see niggaz beast!

I think there should be the 10 dolla flat rate, but then have a 5 dolla entry fee for all the games. Drop the whole ranbat thing, since most people havent been there before or will go there to the one after this one(not that they wont want to, but it’s soo far away). I dont think you have enough local players to have a ranbat tourney Gavin(I can think of 4…). I think your best bet is to make it a regular tourney and try to attract as many out of state players as you can. Build a community, and when you have alot of locals is when you have ranbats. Just cause they do it in Japan, doesnt mean that it will work here.
It’s not like Im thinking of myself or anything like that. I probably wont make it to this one(since I’ll be in NY), but I think you will have a bigger turnout by having a 5 dollar pot instead of a 2.

Also I dont think you should let 1 person be his own team(3s). I mean whats the purpose of having a team tourney if you are 1 person. How ghey would it be to have 2 people in the finals and they are both a 1 man team?? …shit would take forever! …double elim too… pfff… …that would be the equivalent of a reg. tourney, double elim… 3/5…

just my 2 cents

Hey shodokan,I’ll take u up on that offer. :tup:

yeah there should be a singles 3s tourney.I have no friends.

I might make it to this thing…and if I do, I’m taking A3, freeeeee.
