Schneider-X Posted July 3, 2012 Author Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) It's official. The big one is coming. "That Summer Tournament" aka TST is back! We still have a lot to announce but we wanted to get that date out there so you guys have a lot of time to prepare. Mark it down on your calendars. Book that time off. Tell all your friends. We want to make this one our biggest and we need you to make it possible. We're doing some heavy discussion behind the scenes for the next couple weeks so expect info to be revealed earlier than usual but it is definitely time to get hype! ---------------------- Date: August 11th - 12th, 2012 Venue: As promised. This year's TST will be taking place outside the UofM. It has been confirmed for Canad Inns on Pembina by the Tavern if you're familiar. Here's the full address and the room number: Ambassador Room A Canad Inns Destination Centre Fort Garry 1824 Pembina Highway Winnipeg, MB R3T 2G2 ph: (204) 261-7450 fx: (204) 261-5433 tf: 1-888 33-CANAD (22623) Venue Fee: 5$ Yes, there is a registration fee this year. It's necessary to cover the costs of the venue rental. However, if you don't wish to enter tournaments, site entrance is still free and gets you access to casual play, exhibitions, and/or money matches. Registration usually begins 1 or 2 hours before each tournament, so get there early and warm up some too. If you wish to enter any tournament, you pay for the tournament entry fees on top of the 5 dollars. ---------------------- Stream provided by Yayze from Yayze.tv on the Chip Damage Twitch.tv Channel www.twitch.tv/chipdamage ------------------ Schedule and Game lineup All games will be played under US Playstation 3 Saturday 2:00pm - King of Fighters XIII - 5$ 2:00pm - Super Smash Bros Melee - 5$ 3:00pm - Blazblue - 5$ 3:00pm - Mortal Kombat 9 - 5$ 4:00pm - Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition 2012 2v2 Teams - 5$ per player (10$ per team) 6:30pm - Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 2v2 Teams - 5$ per player (10$ per team) 8:00pm - Soul Calibur V - 5$ Teams will be single game all the way through and will be played under A-A B-B rules.

ShinHezekiah Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 It's a little off the beaten path, but I've been surprised by the types of games that people in the area have actually bothered to play. For at least a little while, anyway.

For pad/PS2 stick players, we tend to have PS2 pads and/or converters around, but don't take this as confirmation of us having them there for you. Bring your own to be safe as opposed to being disqualified for not having a controller available at time to play. We cannot hold up the tournament for your convenience.
