ALSO I WILL ADD $200 TO THE POT IF BLAZBLUE HAS OVER 64 ENTRANTS

Ok everyone, here's the deal. I'm running this ArcSys show for APEX.

We NEED setups. Everyone who can confirm one, please say so, along with which of the 3 ArcSys games you'll have. I NEED this information so I can help schedule. No setups, NO tournament.

Venue fee for side games is ONLY $20 if you only go Saturday, $30 if you go all 3 games. I plan to start and finish these on Saturday, making this probably the cheapest major in your life.

Stream time has tbd. I will be talking to Bifuteki to try to guarantee us as much as possible.

As he said earlier 64 entrants in BB means a $200 pot bonus. We basically had 150 at NEC. In addition, they're looking to get sticks for the BBCP winner, and another side game with high attendance. Even GG and P4 beat every other non-Capcom game at NEC. Come on guys.

Looking forward to seeing you guys.

[DaiAndOh]

Again, please tell me if you can get some equipment for us. All help is appreciated, and I'll see what I can do to help you back for helping us!

[DaiAndOh]

Attention, Arc System Works Players:

1. Your schedule for now: 12-2 BB cut to t8, 2-5 All of GG including t8/4 stream, 3-6 All of Persona including t8/4 stream, 6-8 BB t8 as per the normal schedule. Persona and GG top cuts may be moved if necessary. Stream for P4 and GG tbd, stream for BB will be Team Spooky.

2. Please thank Alex Strife, D1, and Big E for contributing equipment and buying copies of the games. Bailed me and you out of this situation where just about no one responded...

See you all in a few days!
