That's right folks, it's that time once again for everyone to venture out onto the island no one likes driving through! No, not Staten Island, Long Island!!!
Castle Golf
1878 Middle Country Rd
Centereach, NY 11720
(631) 471-1267
I would like to say that I'm really happy to see that Long Island is finally growing into a spot where people come from other places for the tournaments. Hopefully this one will be even bigger!
That being said, this event will be run quite differently than the rest. For those of you who don't know, Castle Golf is an arcade/go-kart/mini-golf place which is normally only open from April through October. Some of you may be wondering, "Well, John, then how do you run tournaments during the winter?" It's simple. Lance, the owner of Castle Golf, liked the idea of tournaments so much so that he let me run them during the winter, opening only for the Saturdays that there were tournaments.
Castle Golf's fighting game tournaments started last summer, but weren't nearly as large as they are now. It normally wasn't an issue of running all tournaments at once in the one party area because there weren't as many people. However, now that we've grown nearly tenfold, a change must be made. Here is how it's going to happen:
There will be 6 games at this tournament, just like the last one. One of which, however, is still up for debate. Those 6 games are as follows:
Arcana Heart people, please let me know if you'd like to have another tournament. I know that since AH2 will be out in Chinatown within the next couple of weeks, so I'm not sure if you guys would still want to have a tournament for AH1. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! If you don't want a tournament, ST will be run in place of it.
Since Castle Golf will be open for business, we will be restricted to the one party area and the outside area. The outside area, weather permitting, will be used for casuals. No tournaments will be run outside due to the possibility of glare. Because of the one room restriction, 3 tournaments will be run at a time. Venue registration will be taken at the same time as tournament registration at the front counter by me. Mark is no longer involved with Castle Fight Night anymore. I will personally take registration money for both venue and tournament, compile a list of players in all games, and give the lists to the tournament runners so they can make the brackets.
The first 3 games will be as follows:
Registration for the first 3 games will start at 12 NOON and the tournaments will begin shortly after 1pm.
Whichever tournament gets more registrants will have 2 setups to ensure that everything runs quickly. Once these tournaments are done, I will begin registration for the other tournaments for 1 hour. Tournaments will begin shortly thereafter. Since only 3 tournaments will be run, I can record one game's Top 8 and burn it onto a DVD for whoever wants to make copies of it. You guys can even use my commentary setup if you wish, have a blast.
The other 3 games will be as follows:
