PARKING:

Please keep in mind that this hotel is in the Downtown Core. I will look for the best parking in the area but don’t be smart and think you can break the system. Read the signs carefully and make sure you check your car or get towed. This is a warning to everyone who is driving. TTT will not be held responsible for parking or tow tickets.

Parking in the Area right beside the Hotel:

Saturday: $25 from 6a-11:59p
Sunday: $10 for the whole day

I do suggest that players uses TTC.
Osgoode Station is 2 blocks away.

BRING YOUR OWN STICKS/CONTROLLERS:

The console equipment will be labeled and registered to ensure its safety. However, please be careful with your sticks. Furthermore, if you know you’re attending and you do not have a stick to use, make sure you have a friend who can donate. All singles matches will enforce a 5 minute rule and if you can’t find a stick within that time you will be disqualified. This is advance warning and will not be brought up again.


BROKEN STICKS/BUTTONS:

If you have any stick/button problems at anytime, STOP PLAYING, get up and inform the director. The stick will be fixed/changed and the match will be replayed. If you decide to whine about the sticks after the match, YOU WILL NOT GET A REPLAY MATCH.


EVENT RAFFLE

What kind of TTT tournament would it be without a raffle. More info about raffle prizes in the coming weeks.


DONATIONS

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
If you are coming from out of town, please let us know.
We want to make sure everybody is accommodated.

NeoRussell

request one corner with a power outlet for a Skullgirls station

hallway space outside the event hall would be fine, really.

100% there for Marvel. I’ll probably enter BBCS:EX and maybe SCV and AE as well.

Also 100% approve of keeping the Toryuken name.

I’ll be there for AE, SFxT and KoF

will sticky for alcohol

Where is Super Turbo already?

Rawrrrr Im bear-y excited!

there are 2 things that i don’t believe

  1. the “TORYUKEN” name
  2. that neorussel is organizing! i wonder if this will be his “last one”?!

:smiley:

There are 8 games in this tournament and I got to say, that makes this tournament really stacked.
TTT’s attention will be to concentrate on those Official Games.

If it’s not on the list, there won’t be an official tournament for it. I’m pretty sure there will be BYOC sections since the place is uber massive.
Feel free to run whatever on that section just please don’t hinder the official tournaments.

Justin: I ain’t going nowhere. T12 was my last T-Series but people are asking for T13. Something to consider after this major I guess.
NeoRussell

I think this was the funniest thing I have ever read on srk.

Well played.

yo Russell! i’ll glady help with this torny too! maybe even compete this time!! haha

Any teams this time around Russell?

Scramble Teams!

I might show up for this one since I’m making some moolah now.:rofl::rofl: Only thing if you guys have a PS3 converter for the 360 because I still can’t play stick on that system yet. Too much into the PS3 version of UMVC3, AE and SFXT (by time it comes out). Just wondering. This does sound alot of fun and I would love to be a part of it. The place is nice too. Let’s see when May comes. UJ is coming (if he can).:rofl:

^ lol

I hope there will be teams!!! Make it happen russel!

hi UJ, Since you are making moolah now, may I recommend you dual mod your stick so you dont have to worry about laggy, non-existent converters. And you’ll never have to worry about tournaments not being on your console of choice anymore.

if teams happen, then team Jailbait is in. Luis we need a 3rd

Sorry but no Team Tournament in TORYUKEN.
3 capcom games will cause strict schedule and adding Teams will just make a mess of things.

There will probably be a 5v5, MTL vs TO and USA vs CAN thing happening though.
More details on those after.

NeoRussell

Ok russel I approve that lol!! Good shit!
