Team Crooked Jester is running its THIRD major tournament in just a few months! Our last major tournament, during Halloween Weekend only had 50-60 players, a paltry fewer than our first, but thats because there were two other major tournaments running in the tri-state area (NJ/NY/PA) in the same weekend. Players attending those tournaments have since lamented on how poorly they were run; our tournament was reported to have been run extremely well and all attendees were happy. Players have easy access to food, drink and even alcohol.
It's a fun time, that is not just about gaming, but most importantly about having fun and getting trashed with friends. Yes, I know I am announcing this tournament early, but since I didn't announce the last tournament early enough, we were hit with the sudden influx of other tournaments interfering with ours. So I figure, the sooner, the better! We hope to have players from all over attend this tournament, so I am giving housing oppurtunities firstly to players who are travelling extended distances.

EQUIPMENT:
Crooked Jester does have their own house sticks! However, it is recommened that you bring your own controllers or sticks because each stick has a personal feel... and personally I would rather not people keep on breaking all of my sticks. The tournament will be run on 4 big screen televisions; as well as any other televisions we can get our hands on for the weekend. One 48" RCA Proscan SDTV, two 50" Sony WEGA SXRD HDTVs and a 38" Sony WEGA SDTV. Any match recorded on the main screen will be recorded and put on the web for download. You may request to not have your videos open to the public; in which case they will be posted on a private section of this forum open only to Crooked Jester tournament regulars.
FEES:
Since the tournaments will be on console, there will be a tournament fee and house fee. The house fee is seperate from the games, so the entire entree fee for tournaments will go to the pot. I dont know the exact number of people we expect to have at this tournament; so I dont know how much space I will have to house people. Unless you have cleared it with an NJ local to stay at their place for the weekend, you should make your own accomodations for housing.
* $10 Main Events
* $5 Undercard Events
* $10 Mandatory House Fee!
Please don't be late. If you are going to be late, call us before hand so we can hold the start till you arrive. If you have been to one of our tournaments before, you should have recieved someone's phone number in which you can contact.
