Here you have it everyone, the very first tournament on a Saturday at Galloping Ghost Arcade(console room). Galloping Ghost Arcade has been helping the scene bloom here in Chicago for a while now and with that said they ain't stopping there! Fright Fight is the first of a series that will be full of great games and times. We have many games to enter, chose your poison and remember, 2 man enter, 1 man leave!

GGA is pleased to announce that we are getting a big passenger Van that could sit close to 11-15 people in it. The plan is to pick up people from the City at a specific location to bring them to the event and will also drop them off to the location after the event is done. More info soon as its available!

EXTRA POT BONUS INFORMATION
So I decided it was only fair to award the game with MOST ENTRANTS a $100 pot bonus, the next 4 with MOST ENTRANTS will get $50 extra added to the pot. You want the pot bonus? Support your game then by helping promote the event for your game!!

Confirmed. Hopefully I can get more casuals going with you guys.

I COULD bring a system, but I have no tv.....it would also be exclusive to mk, since I don't have many other fighters and I don't want people putting umvc3 in and taking 40 minutes to update like it did at my charity tournament.

After looking at the SRK thread for this event, it's sounding like this is going to have a HUGE turn out. A REALLY huge turn out.

.....as in a fire code violation turn out. lol

And I will be more than happy to contribute to that violation. :D

Think that it will be possible to squeeze in either a single or double elim MK 9 Tag Team tourney on the cabinet?
