Tournament Process

Step 1: Finish your Registration

Players in All Tournaments

If you are worried about your name not being in our roster, you may check in Thursday night to make sure everything is on the up and up.

  • Be sure to bring a printout of your registration receipt just incase any errors have occured.

    If you have already completed your registration by paying online with PayPal, you should still come to the registration table to pick up your id card and bracket assignments (see below).

    At the registration table you will receive both your tournament badge and a pool assignment for each tournament you're participating in. Do not lose your badge or pool assignments! You will need both to compete in the qualification rounds.

    Spectators, Family Members, and Guests

    All guests of tournament players are welcome to watch the event qualification rounds and finals free of charge. We also welcome them to enjoy the the Bring Your Own Console (BYOC) area, again free of charge. Please be courteous in the BYOC and respect your fellow gamers. The BYOC will be open from 9:00 AM till 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday (only). We'll provide the TV, you provide the console and games.


    Step 2: Complete in Qualification

    Fighting Game Tournament Players

    To play in the qualification rounds, report to the game stations which will be running your pool at the time indicated on the schedule below. For example, if you're competing in the Tekken 5 tournament and you found out you were in Pool C during the registration process, you should report to the gamestations for pool C at 1:00 PM to begin playing. The semi-finals for each tournament will run immediately after the qualification round finish.

    • Report to your assigned pool at the time your tournament is schedule to begin (see schedule below).
    • Do not arrive late! If you are late for your match, you will be disqualified and no refunds will be awarded.
    • The top finishers in each pool qualify for the semi-finals.
    • After qualifying for the semi-finals, report to Pool A and await further instructions. Do not leave the game area or you risk being disqualified.

    The top 8 players in each semi-final round will move onto the grand finals on Sunday and compete for the title of Tournament Champion for 2008.


    Step 3: Enjoy the Finals!

    If you did not qualify for the finals, we still welcome you back on Sunday to see the top 8 players duke it out for fame, fortune, and a cut of the prize money.

    • If you qualify for the finals in a touranment, be sure to report to the tournament hall at least 30 minutes before the finals for your tournament is scheduled to begin. Failure to do this will result in a disqualification and no prize money awarded.
