Check out our KiT FAQ for more information about us: http://kitrevival.com/kit-faq Here is an Excerpt: Q: How do I know KiT 14 will be a well-run tournament? A: We have a lot of experience running events dating back over 10 years including major events with multiple games. We value time efficiency and promptness in our events and KiT is a TRENDSETTER in these areas. We are constantly thinking about how to improve player experience by making the event run as smoothly as possible. Since we are players ourselves, we know how frustrating it is to stand around not knowing when your game will start or why there are several empty stations with no tournament matches being played – this will not be the case at KiT. Because of this we are using pre-registration and a pool system to avoid that situation at all costs. Q: I am more of a casual player. Why should I come to KiT 14? A: The typical response on why you need to come to a tournament is you will never get better unless you come out and challenge yourself and play against good players with something on the line. While this is true, we want to go above that reasoning for KiT, and that is why we have rented our venue for an entire extra day on Friday. We will have official events that day but it will be a gaming party for everyone to play casually and also include some events that are free to enter but have a monetary prize to encourage playing to win but in a more casual setting. We will have artwork and sponsor tables showcasing and selling items. Throughout the weekend you will be able to watch and learn from the best players of your favorite game. It is of utmost importance to us that everyone who comes feels like it was worth the investment and the time, even for those who are only there to watch and socialize. Q: I am a tournament veteran or hardcore player. Why should I come to KiT 14? A: We are dedicated to making this tournament attractive to the very best players in each of our games. We have guaranteed minimum payouts for every game that will ensure you are playing for something worthwhile. We are also working hard on our scheduling to make sure you will be playing at your best. While Friday will have more of a laid back vibe, Saturday will be all business as we complete pools. Each game will receive stream time be it on Saturday or Sunday, so if you advance far enough you will get your time to shine and showcase your skills to everyone. We understand we do not know every community well enough to construct and seed a bracket so we have enlisted sub-directors for every game that the community knows and trusts. We are dedicated to and invested in every one of our games at KiT and will make sure to give them the respect they deserve.

The $200 minimum for P4A is set in stone. Let's talk about the other games for sure.

Hey guys, I would like to add Friday Events for KiT: Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R Skullgirls Would anyone be willing to run or stream those events? Also, what system would you like those games to be run on? I would like to run those 2 games and persona all on the same system. I would prefer PS3 for all of those games.

Is it your intent to move to PS3 for KiT?

First announcement on prizes at KiT '14: Each of the 10 main games will have a minimum payout of $200 for first place. That includes Persona 4 Arena, so come on out!

A lot of work went into the planning of this event, and you made it all worth it. Big ups to everyone who braved the snow to make it out. Everyone from STL, ATL, VA, NYC, OH, NB, TX, AL, KY, FL, IN, GA - I enjoyed having all your crews. You guys each put your own little stamp on the tournament. I can only hope each of you enjoyed your time in Nashville. I did my best trying to go quickly through an 80 man bracket and make things as efficient as possible. Of course I'd like to thank CodEZ for helping to organize the event and helping make everything go smoothly. You are the father of KiT, and I'm very grateful you had at least one more of these in you. No regrets with this one. Tad and Orel - you guys were great tournament directors for your respective games, any time you need my help just let me know! Thank you to everyone else on the KiT staff - Cody you did great helping me out with recording, I am sure the DVD is going to be a great success. Beely and Jon - great work with the concessions, those hot dogs gave me the energy to keep the tournament going lol. Thank you to the TN crew - Knoxville and Memphis I appreciate both cities bringing the whole gang. You guys truly made this a TN tournament. Thank you to the local Nashville and Middle TN Street Fighter community for supporting this event. Lil Majin - you are my prized student, and I can't be more proud of you. I was almost gonna tear up after you won lol. As always, this tournament is just the beginning. They will be out for you now, so get ready. Hope to see everyone in a couple months at Final Round!
