[UPDATE] As of 5/4/11
We have 5 people pre-registered sofar. We only need a minimum of 11 more participants to make this tournament happen. If you are thinking of coming to the tournament, don't wait til next Friday to do it. Come into the store and pre-register to save some money. Even if your not sure if your going to go, sign up and put your $10.00 in anyway. You can always back out before the day of the tournament anyway and get the $10 back.

Also, to people going to Ultimate Fighting Game Tournament 7 EVO 2011 Qualifier as well this month. If you win the tournament, we might consider sponsorship and pay your registration fees for that tournament and hook you up with what you need. Also a place to practice (in the store) and take on challengers. Something to think about.

We now have 11 people who have pre-registered for the tournament. Just 5 more and the tournament is on! I don't think we'll have any trouble getting to 16. I'm thinking we'll have at least 24 people pre-registered by the end of Friday. Plus some people at door. This might be a 32 person tournament. Maybe MORE!

I registered on Saturday keep us updated on the headcount if you could please. Also will there be chairs provided? I play on a stick and I will need to sit and play.

Yes, there will be chairs for people using sticks.

[UPDATE] 5/9/11
I think we'll be short on dualshock3/sixaxis controllers. Sofar we only have enough controllers for 2 stations. Were looking into how we can attain more before we resort to letting people bring their own controllers. I let you know guys know the verdict by Wednesday.

Also the latest headcount is 12. Sunday was a slow day at the store (mother's day), and the people working yesterday weren't pushing the tournament as hard as the others. We still got 6 days so it should be fine.

- We have decided that you can use your own controller ONLY if its wired. NO Wireless. So if you have a stick or a wired gamepad, you can bring it and use it.

- Also, the company Roxio has asked us to use their new product, the Roxio Game Capture, to record our tournament. Because of this, we won't be live streaming the tournament, but it will be uploaded to Youtube afterwords. So you can see it the next day. They want our feedback on the product and gave us a unit for free to try out.

The videos of the tournament will be uploaded to my channel located here: http://www.youtube.com/user/DrunkinGamer
