PU2011 is part of the EVO 2011 Tournament Season
Starting in early January, EVO is partnering with the top grass-roots tournament organizers to form a regular season of fighting games. Our 2011 season will run from January through July, culminating in the EVO World Finals July 29-31 at the Rio Hotel and Resort, Las Vegas. At each stop of the tournament season, players will earn ranking points that will directly determine their seed in the tournament brackets at the EVO World Finals. With literally thousands of players attending the finals, you're going to want to secure that seed if you want to advance far in the brackets.
More info on EVO2k.com
PU2011 is VGF Sanctioned
The VGF (Video Gaming Federation) is a new rating system founded by Xiang from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a long time member of the community and avid Tekken player. Players at PowerUp 2011 will be invited to join the VGF and be acquire a rating for SSFIV, T6, and/or MvC3 that they can follow on the VGF website. For more details than I want to post here, check out the VGF website and PowerUp Podcast Episode #45 with Xiang himself.
Mystery Tournament for Charity
The PowerUp 2011 Mystery Game Tournament will see half of the players' entry fee go directly to Child's Play ($5 to the pot, $5 to the chairty). Child's Play is a game industry charity dedicated to improving the lives of children with toys and games in their network of over 60 hospitals worldwide, and it is one of my favorite charities. So get ready to play some wacky games and feel extra warm and fuzzy because you've given to a great cause spearheaded by fellow gamers.
The Mystery Game Tournament will still be part of the PowerUp Bonus Structure. I will also be able to provide a receipt to prove the donation has occurred after PU2011 has concluded.
