VR-Raiden Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Copied from SRK: http://shoryuken.com/f7/1-up-resurrection-blacksburg-va-3-19-2011-a-262770/ Presented by the Gamer's Group of Virginia Tech Saturday, March 19th, 2011. Casuals begin at 12 pm, Tournament will begin at 1 pm. Schedule to be posted soon! Location Virginia Tech's Campus, Torgersen Hall, Room 1060 (Torgersen Hall located on Drillfield Drive) Blacksburg, VA 24060 It's time for the first local Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Tournament in the New River Valley! We've rented out one of the largest rooms on Virginia Tech's campus to accommodate any number of people who wish to compete. We encourage people of all skill levels to attend, as we are focused on providing both serious competition and a healthy venue for new tournament players to enter the tournament community. There are plenty of quality and cheap hotels around Blacksburg and nearby Christiansburg and Radford for people coming from out of town. Here is a quick search on hotels.com for you travelers out there: http://www.hotels.com/search.do?destination=Blacksburg%2C+Virginia%2C+Un Wreck some faces then hit up downtown Blacksburg! All of the bars/restaurants are a 3-minute walk from the venue and every Saturday night guarantees craziness from the Virginia Tech students. List of Games and Entrance Fees: Marvel vs. Capcom 3 - $10 Super Street Fighter 4 - $10 Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike - $5 Blazblue: CS - $5 Super Smash Bros. Melee - $3 Payouts 60/30/10 Schedule: Set-Up - 11:30 am - It'd be great if everyone who volunteered to bring TVs/consoles/setups could get to the room between 11:30 and Noon. Casuals - begin at 12 noon SSF4, Melee and Blazblue - 1 pm 3rd Strike - 2 pm Marvel vs. Capcom 3 - 3 pm * Keep in mind that these are very rough estimates, as it is difficult to predict how long each game will take. The respective games won't begin before the listed time. * Registration for games will end about 15 minutes before the game is scheduled to start. I'd advise for people to be at the venue 30 minutes before the scheduled time. *When your name is called for a match, you'll have 5 minutes to respond. If we don't hear from you within those 5 minutes you'll forfeit the match. Venue Fee: $5 at the door, but only $3 if you pre-register online right here: https://survey.vt.edu/survey/entry.jsp?id=1296800414692 While obviously 3s will be played on PS2 and SSBM will be played on Gamecube/Wii; MvC3, SSF4 and Blazblue: CS will be played on both XBOX 360 and PS3 as we will be playing on whatever setups people are able to provide. You are responsible for bringing your own controller/stick to the tournament. Again, please pre-register online to get your discount and to help us prepare for the number of entrants we'll be having. The link is here: https://survey.vt.edu/survey/entry.jsp?id=1296800414692 Make sure to bring some form of ID with you on the day of the tournament to get your discount for pre-registering. If you require any more info, feel free to PM me! Search "1-UP: Resurrection" on Facebook! I will also run GGAC, given interest and time (neither of which should be a problem). Hope to see you there Edited March 17, 2011 by VR-Raiden
VR-Raiden Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 The entrance fees for the games have been raised. If you've already preregistered with the survey, please redo it, the survey had to be recreated. Apologies for the inconvenience. https://survey.vt.edu/survey/entry.jsp?id=1296800414692
BC Sama Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 wow a tourney with BB that is close to where I live. Still can't go because I don't have a car.
Rhiya Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) wow a tourney with BB that is close to where I live. Still can't go because I don't have a car. Figure it out...! I don't have a car, either, and I have a prior commitment to try to get around, but damn it, I'm going to try to go! And if you live nearby, hit up the thread in the Match Finder section: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?10638-That-part-of-VA-that-no-one-cares-about-%28Western-Southwestern-VA-thread-%29 Let people know you exist.

Rhiya Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 You all considering running more stuff next year, or any time soon? Good shit on getting third.
VR-Raiden Posted March 21, 2011 Author Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) Currently I don't know of any plans, but lots of people enjoyed the tourney so maybe we'll try another one like it soon. Thanks, though the BB results are a bit misleading. Originally only 4 signed up when it was $5 entry so I decided to make it free and we got 16 people =P Had to run it on one set up for most the time so we just did single elim. I was pressing marvel 3 buttons the whole tournament (should have learned BB with Type B config lol). Edited March 21, 2011 by VR-Raiden
