LOCATION
Arcade Legends
5951-3 Boymel Dr.
Fairfield, OH 45014

All arcade games will be on free play all weekend and you can play as much as you want with your venue fee paid!

DATE
May 28-30, 2010

REGISTRATION
Registration for getting into the venue and for the individual tournaments is currently online at PowerUp via shopping cart and PayPal.

SSFIV is CAPPED AT 128 ENTRANTS. Arcade Legends VENUE CAP IS 140 PEOPLE PER DAY. Due to lack of pre-registration we want to be clear about exactly how many people Arcade Legends can hold without breaking fire code and being too cramped to breathe. There will be no excuses or exceptions for anyone who shows up to register and is turned away because we have reached capacity. If you want to be on the safe side, pre-register NOW.

Make sure you fill out all the forms for your bracket name and for any team tournaments you're entering! Pre-registration in this thread will NOT count and the pre-reg listing reflects this. Walk-ups will be welcome until further notice.
