Venue:
Lane Agri-Park Community Center
315 John R. Rice Blvd, Suite 101

If you came to our 2013 event, we are using the same place except we have the entire building this time. The room we are adding is twice the size of the room from 2013. The entire building is over 15,000 sq ft.

If you are flying, choose BNA – Nashville, TN. The airport is approximately 30-35 minutes from the venue.

We recommend the Super 8 that is near the venue. It is very nice as it was recently renovated. Most of the players who came to our 2013 event stayed there. It is less than 5 minutes away.

Check out our KiT FAQ for more information about us: http://kitrevival.com/kit-faq

Here is an Excerpt:

Q: How do I know KiT 14 will be a well-run tournament?
A: We have a lot of experience running events dating back over 10 years including major events with multiple games. We value time efficiency and promptness in our events and KiT is a TRENDSETTER in these areas. We are constantly thinking about how to improve player experience by making the event run as smoothly as possible. Since we are players ourselves, we know how frustrating it is to stand around not knowing when your game will start or why there are several empty stations with no tournament matches being played – this will not be the case at KiT. Because of this we are using pre-registration and a pool system to avoid that situation at all costs.

Q: I am more of a casual player. Why should I come to KiT 14?
A: The typical response on why you need to come to a tournament is you will never get better unless you come out and challenge yourself and play against good players with something on the line. While this is true, we want to go above that reasoning for KiT, and that is why we have rented our venue for an entire extra day on Friday. We will have official events that day but it will be a gaming party for everyone to play casually and also include some events that are free to enter but have a monetary prize to encourage playing to win but in a more casual setting. We will have artwork and sponsor tables showcasing and selling items. Throughout the weekend you will be able to watch and learn from the best players of your favorite game. It is of utmost importance to us that everyone who comes feels like it was worth the investment and the time, even for those who are only there to watch and socialize.

Q: I am a tournament veteran or hardcore player. Why should I come to KiT 14?
A: We are dedicated to making this tournament attractive to the very best players in each of our games. We have guaranteed minimum payouts for every game that will ensure you are playing for something worthwhile. We are also working hard on our scheduling to make sure you will be playing at your best. While Friday will have more of a laid back vibe, Saturday will be all business as we complete pools. Each game will receive stream time be it on Saturday or Sunday, so if you advance far enough you will get your time to shine and showcase your skills to everyone. We understand we do not know every community well enough to construct and seed a bracket so we have enlisted sub-directors for every game that the community knows and trusts. We are dedicated to and invested in every one of our games at KiT and will make sure to give them the respect they deserve.
 
Are those pot bonuses? Bc if u get more than 100 for ae (for example) u will not be giving out all the entry fees to the winners. Evo does this shit and its not cool.

If they are guaranteed pay outs them that is cool. Good way to try and get an event off the ground. Good midwest location too

Strange you should ask! This is answered directly in our FAQ, but I understand the confusion.

Q: What is the reasoning behind the guaranteed payouts?
A: There are two reasons for guaranteed payouts. The first is to show that we are completely serious about our event and making it attractive. The second is to give protection to you the players that you will be playing for something worthwhile regardless of turnout. Please do not misinterpret that to think we are expecting a low turnout. We expect all of our games to do very well.

Also remember that the money we are guaranteeing for any game is the MINIMUM amount we will pay out. For instance, if 70% of the entry fees for a game exceeds the minimum first place prize (say the $700 for Street Fighter) then we will pay the higher amount. If 200 players enter Street Fighter the first place prize will be $1400.

Hope this clears it up!
