Oh, duh, the gamestop tournament. Nvm then.it is the gamestop tourney. the regionals are being held there. royal ninja won his way there.
Good games at JCCC too. your falco is a beast.
So you could take it as 8 per region, but it seems that 8 people from each region will be DECLARED semi-finalists. This means Gamestop MAY choose for them to go to the national tourney. It looks like on March 31st they are just gonna pick 8 people at random from the pool of semi-finalists and send them to cali.HOW TO QUALIFY FOR ROUND 3:
Round 3 will be conducted on or about March 29, 2008. In Round 3 of the Contest, all District Winners will be given one (1) opportunity to compete against another District Winner (as determined by the Sponsor) until one Contestant is eliminated per match. Each District Winner will compete against another District Winner for a five (5) minute match until only one (1) Contestant has survived the elimination rounds. The top eight (8) scoring District Winners will be declared the Semifinalists for that region and will have the opportunity to compete in Round 4 of the Contest.
All Semifinalists will be determined on or about March 31, 2008. Approximately 8 Semifinalists will advance to Round 4 of the Contest which will be held on April 12, 2008 at GameStop, 3600-A Stevens Creek Blvd, San Jose, CA, 95117. Semifinalists will be required to travel on specified dates as determined by Sponsor and will be required to present a valid photo ID (or any legal document if necessary) to compete in Round 4.
Trip includes: round-trip coach-class airfare for winner only (unless winner is a minor) from a major commercial airport nearest winner’s primary residence (to be determined by Sponsor) or ground transportation if winner resides within 100 miles radius of Event City, hotel accommodations for one (1) night (one room, single or double occupancy), and $200.00 spending money, which will be awarded in the form of a check. All meals, ground transportation (other than as noted), taxes (including but not limited to federal and state, income and sales tax), gratuities, incidentals, service charges, upgrades or other expenses not specified herein are not included and are the Semifinalist sole responsibility. If the Round 4 is cancelled or postponed for any reason, awarding of the remaining elements of Semifinalist trip shall constitute full satisfaction of Sponsor’s prize obligation and no substitute or additional compensation will be awarded. All travel arrangements will be made by Sponsor or its designated agent. No travel date substitutions allowed. If a Semifinalist is unable to travel on dates specified by Sponsor, prize will be forfeited and the player who was eliminated last prior to the Semifinalist prize winner may be declared the alternate winner, provided there is sufficient time to verify alternate winner and make travel arrangement, otherwise such Semifinalist prize will not be awarded. If, for any reason whatsoever, the Semifinalist cannot travel after all travel arrangements are made and paid, then the Sponsor shall have no further obligation to the Semifinalist. Travel and accommodations are subject to change and availability and restrictions may apply.
ROUND 4:
In Round 4 of the Contest, all eight (8) Semifinalists will be given two (2) opportunities to compete against another Semifinalist, as determined by the Sponsor, in a five (5) minute match. The top two (2) scoring Semifinalists (after double elimination rounds) will be declared the Finalists. The 2 Finalist with the best of three rounds score in Round 4 (subject to verification) will be declared the Grand Prize Winner of the 2008 Super Smash Brothers Brawl Final Tournament. The Finalist with the second highest score in Round 4 (subject to verification) will be declared the Second Prize Winner.
That would be awesome.As the group grows I can start bringing my Wii and a copy of Brawl to the meetings. I'm glad to hear that we can get more tvs from the campus.
I hope you prove me wrong on this. It would be great to have a free trip to cali only 2 wins away.well i just called that game stop and wolfgang ( atleast thats what it sounded like) said that there will be 26 ppl in it and the top 8 go to cali... from what he told me the chances arnt as good but there alot better then just the one winner, but either way if what he said is true, you would have to win the 1st 2 matches instead of just the first... 816 746 6736 is their number
First off, yes GameStop is a large company with a lot of money (that's not hard to see when you trade in a game for 25% less than the price you paid for it, then see it sold for 10% less than the price of a new one), but the way I see it, with Nintendo's help, I don't think GameStop would mind too much flying a few people out to Cali for "chump change". Not to mention I'm sure sponsorship plays some role in this little tourney.Maybe I got this confused, but I thought only 8 people TOTAL were going to nationals. That means some of the regionals won't even be sending people to cali. The rules are so hard to understand though. It just seems like if Gamestop sent 8 people from each of the 20 or so regionals that are happening on Saturday, then it would cost a LOT of money to send all of them to cali (airplane ticket, hotel, $200 for food, trophy to the winners). The whole deal is worth about $1200 per person. While Gamestop is definitely a large company with plenty of money, I don't see them spending about $17,000 just to fly some people around. Hope I'm wrong though. That would increase my chances of success quite a bit.
"Blah blah blah..."
Also...hmm maybe your right now that i looks at it, it looks like my gamestop employee that always gives me wrong information has yet to fail me. only 8 ppl in the national tourne? thts gonna be boring.....
