1. REGISTRATION guarantees you a badge. Badges are required to enter the main room of the venue. If you don't have a badge you will need to purchase one, so we suggest buying one early. Anyone that registers after August 21 will have a chance to get a UCC shirt since we will order a few more than the actual number of competitors. Those shirts will be first come, first served. Spectating is free

2. RAFFLES!! Everyone who gets a badge (early, regular or late) will get one raffle ticket already. Additional raffle tickets may be purchased as well: 1 for $3, 5 for $10, 10 for $15, 20 for $20. Right now the total dollar amount is $400 for all the prizes. Raffle prizes will be in sealed envelopes containing between $5 and $100. Even we won't know what you win until you open it.

There is an onsite cafeteria with very reasonably priced fair, an onsite bar located just next to the outdoor pool. There are also other restaurants within a short distance from the venue.

--Rules--

Coming Soon but most rules are EVO standard anyway these days

Soul Calibur V

3 out of 5 rounds in all sets
60 second time limit in all sets
100% health and soul gauge

Viola Back-Throw Infinite banned; only one back-throw will be permitted in sequence. In addition to this, because of how hard it would be to enforce, back-throw into back-throw resets are also banned.

http://8wayrun.com/wiki/tournament-ruleset/

This is a bring your own controller event. Please bring your own controller/stick/converter to aide in the speed of the tournament.


--Second Chance Tournies--
First 8-16 (depending on size of original tourney) players knocked out of the singles tournaments get put in the Second Chance Tournaments for free. The prize will be a $25 BestBuy gift card. If 16 players show up, the winner has to beat a lot of people. If only 1 person shows up, that person still gets the gift card

--Throwback Tournies--
These are for those OG gamers that still hold onto their beloved games of the past. Look for titles like SF3:3SOE or ST. Games are subject to interest, so make your voice be heard.

Tuesday is the last day for $25 registration! Then it goes up to $30. I encourage everyone to sign up early online to make the tournament run smoother and save you money. Even if you don't know what games you want to sign up for, you can still just register and add the games later.
