Sun Rise Tournament
Tokyo Japan, April 2-3 2011
Basically I just had a chat to RAIN, and he's organizing a major tournament in Japan. At this point, details are still sketchy, but I'll detail what I know, and update it as more information comes to light.
At this point, its a Brawl singles tournament, although there may be doubles,and melee may be added also, depending on interest. A 64-man melee bracket has been confirmed, although whether or not there will be a payout for it is not yet known.
There will be a pot; Japanese players are pooling together money, and entry fee money will also be added - RAIN expects the first place winner to receive in excess of 100,000 yen (about 1000 US dollars).
RAIN is expecting 150-250 Japanese players to attend. He is also hoping for international attendance.
To that end, he asked me to advertise this tournament on smashboards, gain opinions and thoughts, and relay them back to him. None of these details are set, and he's willing to change things if internationals ask; they really, really want some Americans to attend...
Query away.
