Event will be held on March 8, 2008. Casuals start at noon, tournaments start around 3 or 4pm.
The date for this tournament will be March 8th, 2008.
There are faster ways of getting there, such as taking Sunrise Highway from the Southern State. The LIE tends to take too long because it just cuts straight(ish) down the middle of the Island, whereas the Southern and Sunrise cut diagonally a lot. I can give you directions depending on where you're coming from.
For the past bunch of tournaments (everything prior to #6), everything was constrained to the one area that holds 3S, GGAC, Smash and usually one other game. However, during Fight Night #6, we expanded and moved a few other games into the main arcade area. I'm not sure why no one thought of this before, but mad props to Mark for thinking of it. Castle Golf's owner, Lance, is a really cool and mellow guy and is really willing to help us out in any way possible, so I'm sure he wouldn't mind moving around some machines to make room for other games.
I might be considering making the venue fee $15, instead of $10. I'll be using this money for better equipment such as tables and chairs, as well as various other things so we don't have to be so dependent on my bag of extension cords. For now, the venue fee will remain at $10.
At Fight Night #6, we had a really good turnout. A new game was added to the roster, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, ran by Phil (9.95) from UltimateMK.com and it will stay there as a staple tournament from now on. Phil manages a trophy store, so there are plans already in the works for trophies or plaques for 3rd Strike, as well as UMK3 like last time. I feel like this bring a really unique approach to these local tournaments, although they're getting bigger and bigger.
Here's the list of games that will definitely be played at this tournament:
* Street Fighter III: Third Strike -PS2-
* Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection -PS3-
* Guilty Gear XX Accent Core -PS2-
* Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 -Xbox 360- (with at least 1 stick provided)
* Melty Blood -PC-
* Arcana Heart -PS2-
* Marvel vs Capcom 2 -Dreamcast-
* Virtua Fighter 5 -Xbox 360-
For those of you who haven't been to a Castle Golf tournament before, here's how it works. If you'd like to run a tournament for a game that isn't on that list, all I need from you is $10 for venue. You can run a tournament for Super Mario Bros. 2 for all I care, as long as you pay the venue fee. However, if you plan on running a tournament, BRING THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING TV, SYSTEM, AND GAME(S). Although we really don't have the problem of "people coming to an event expecting there to be a tournament but there isn't because no one brought anything" anymore, I still have to stress this point.
I will be taking Mike (KayinNasaki)'s suggestion of making up a "Free Tournament" coupon. For each piece of equipment you bring THAT WE USE, you will recieve a coupon redeemable for entry to one (1) tournament. If, however, we don't use your equipment, then you don't get a coupon and you don't get into a tournament for free. This is to clear up any confusion and also to prevent people from entering tournaments for free when they should be paying.
I will consult with whomever is running other tournaments for rules, but for now, here's the rules to 3rd Strike.
=====Street Fighter III 3rd Strike -PS2-=====
* $5 entry, unless coupon is presented
* Double Elimination, 2/3 until Finals, 3/5 Finals, 4/7 Grand Finals
* 2 stations will be set up to make the tournament move more smootly and quicky
* Top 8 will be played in an SBO style setup with 2 TVs and will be recorded with commentary by myself and a few other people
* Prize Split will be 70/20/10
As I said before, I will consult with the other tournament coordinators for their rulesets. I encourage all suggestions from anyone, veteran Castle players and newcomers alike. The last Castle Fight Night had a turnout of 50+ people, 28 entering 3rd Strike. I'd really like to shatter that this time guys!
