Season’s Beatings: Redemption

SB:R Registration, plus News Updates, Video, Photos - feat. 10 questions with Daigo Umehara
SB on Facebook! LIKE us for news, interviews, videos

For all those that the missed the DEADLINE we are opening the registration site for 2 hrs between 8pm-10pm eastern time. The venue fee is now $40. Once we reach CAPACITY all registrants after will be refunded. This is your last chance to get in there!

THIRD STRIKE PLAYERS

PLEASE either email me, facebook me, or post a visitor message on SRK regarding your 3s team. If I do not hear from you by Thursday night by 10 p.m. I will have to put you on a random team.


On registration, you will be known as your gamer tag/handle, not the real name of whatever paypal account you registered under.

Please note: SB is a small staff and we are 100% occupied with getting the tournament ready. I will be online all day Tuesday most likely, but Wednesday I will prob be in Columbus, and from then on I'll be mostly occupied, although I'll try to keep my PM box clear.

Please be patient with requests on refunds, etc. I will say now that most refunds and hangups I cannot pay out until after this weekend is over; sorry for the inconvenience guys. You know we WILL NOT steal your money or anything. There is no time limit to giving Paypal refunds.

Please refer to the schedule and blog posts for questions about the tournament you are likely to find quick answers to, because we will be mostly away from the forums/facebook until the tournament because we have so much to prepare for, and me being the media contact + everything else means I have to focus on the everything else as the PR side is pretty much done.

The only PMs I definitely need are 3s teams for the 3v3 (because I can't seed this tournament without knowing peoples' teams) and equipment help we can put you down for. Also, facebook has no PM box limit so PLEASE contact me there if possible instead!

Before you ask about super last last minute pre-regging for SB:R, wait until we announce anything about it being possible or not because we can't update anything until we look at the numbers for all the games and overall numbers. And I just got home from driving from one side of Ohio to the other loading arcade machines ;) so this can't happen until late tomorrow. Sorry to sound salty but it's crunch time and we have a lot to take care of!

Please read this before you post and/or ask others to read it :) the main problem is I get so many requests that I can't handle the old stuff and/or other business. Secretary wanted for SB 2011! :) Please bear with us and we will do our best to take care of everyone!



1) At the event, you will need to hand us your Paypal receipt so we can confirm your name.
2) You will be given a badge which will have your name printed on it.
Therefore, it is a good idea to not lose your badge since you will not be allowed back inside the building without it ;)

FREE SB SHIRT for providing game console hardware that we use in tournament!

Regarding Spectators: For the Registration site, In order to pay for spectating, you MUST PAY SEPARATELY in order to be counted as paid for the event. Select the spectator check box and select the check box for venue fee and proceed to checkout.

Fugee and Ghaleon are offering redemption for anyone who’s got wrongs to right: disappointing Evo performances; failed tournaments; DQs; missed snapbacks; random Ultras. Compete in Ohio and erase the past alongside the world’s best competitors. A star is born every major -- SB is your time to shine.

Who: Daigo, Momochi, Choco Blanka, and Gamerbee will be in attendance to compete with the best of the U.S./Canada/Puerto Rico and France.

Last year 500 players from 38 states, Canada and Puerto Rico repped their homes to battle Daigo and Justin Wong for the Season’s Beatings Street Fighter championship. Justin's surprise Fei sent Daigo to loser’s bracket, but Daigo showed why World Warriors fear him as The Beast. Will Justin get revenge and claim the Street Fighter crown on his home turf? Will a dark horse prove himself as a true rival for the Big 2?

Also welcome Momochi and Choco Blanka on their first U.S. trip together. Is a fellow Japanese player all that can stop Daigo taking our money? Will a yet-unannounced traveler from the East take up the gauntlet against him as well? Stay tuned.

MvC2 SB3 champion Chris Schmidt, after winning arguably the most fierce, stacked Marvel tournament of all time, returns two years later to try to win it all again against the East and West Coasts’ best.

Team Spooky will be producing the stream!

We are all about letting the players run whatever side tournaments they please as long as it doesnt take away needed resources or time from the MAIN tournaments.

With that said ALL side games or Unofficial Team Tournaments are not GUARANTEED to finish at MOMOS. As a Tournament Runner you will be responsible for the players MONEY and relocation (Hotel rooms being an Option) of these tournaments if MAIN games take priority due to time or resources. We know you Understand.


If you are planning on bringing any equipment Systems/Games/Boards etc. Please pm me or Fugee so we have an idea of how many stations we can maximize.

Sponsorships: TBA, We are not targeting just pot money, we are targeting BONUSES that benefit as many of our players as possible, not just the elite.

Many, many more details to come, regarding media, production, online content, and top guests in all games. We're setting up a website where we can directly engage YOU, the players spending hard-earned money to come to our event. Expect big things from the smallest games. GET AT US about what else you want to see at this event!

Fugee and I have been tirelessly planning SB nearly daily since March, and the results will show. THANK YOU for all the support you've given us over the years -- the support and positive feedback keeps us coming back year after year.

For now, post up or PM Fugee or me, Ghaleon, or get at me on Facebook ("Chris Ghaleon") with questions/feedback/advice.

SPECIAL THANKS TO GHALEON AND FUGEE!!!

More info to come, with some HUGE NEWS for the UMK3 tourney. Stay tuned!

For sign ups, go HERE and post so i can keep all entries at one place!
 
Yes the pad warriors are more then welcomed to SBR. Mame will be used as we are also working on having converters for the cabinets. The idea was arcade initially but we do want to push away those who are beasts on pads and never got the oppoturnity to play in the arcade.

So yes, when I posted what i posted, it was true. But that changed.

I do however wish its only if we can get the pads wired to the cab. the actual jamma boards in cabs are night and day vs playing mame emu's. i'd love pad players to get a chance to do that, because thats the real UMK3.

That would be sweet.

I hope this gets ironed out because I REALLY REALLY don't want to have to play a match on mame then switch to arcade. This will fuck people up, seriously.

Kaballin!
DC as for now they are working on a way to plug pads to the arcade cab, hopefully in the next week or two it should be clear.Great to hear you're going.

NOTICE: you can still register until Monday night, 11:59 p.m., but if your reg is in by 6 a.m. tomorrow, your player badge will have your gamername printed on it by our company instead of us writing it in black magic marker. PLEASE REGISTER! Thanks!
