Can I pay $25 and get free Rhythm-Action games like last time? I hope so... That way I could go right when it opens up and play DDR until I pass out then wake up in time to play a brawl tournament. Sounds like it would be an awesome day to me!

I just found out that we do have the front of TGA for the tourney YES!!!! Lots of space so that means we need set-ups tv's, wii's, copies of brawl, and if anybody can bring it a laptop with the tourney maker on it.


I just want everybody to know that there will be food served at TGA and to please bring NO food or drink into TGA. Please try to keep swearing to a mininum and please respect the area. This is all from the owner of TGA he is awesome!!!!

No problem...Hopefully we can get a lot of people to come. it's a bit of a way out there, but it's worth it for a tournament that has every major Fighting game that the competitive scene plays along with the arcade and Brawl.

...best done, since the brawl tournament will most likely have down time...and in that down time... ARCADES! ...and OTHER FIGHTERS! It's the perfect fusion!

I may end up coming to this, but I just have a quick question. (Hopefully I'm not just blind.)

Signups are 12-2:45 - does this mean I *must* be there by 12, or is like 12:30 or 1pm OK? (I'd be driving 3-4 hours, so I'd rather not get up at like 7am, if at all possible...) I'd only be entering the Smash tourney, if that matters.

...12:30 / 1:00 pm is fine I'm sure, but I guess i'll defer to Tom for a final answer.

I apoligize for the mix up that time is for the other tourneys that will be going on. Sign-ups start at noon (which is also the time TGA opens) until 4:30pm then the tourney will start at 5pm. There will be time for friendlies and mm between that time and if there is enough interest there will be a teams tourney that will start right after brawl singles. Please don't be late because I will not take anymore sign-ups after 4:30.

Thx

They should have enough help this time to do everything because that's why they stopped serving food for a while. It should be great!
