Hey everyone,
I'm very excited to bring the SWF community great news! Since the end of last year, the Charlottesville community has been working to put together a large-scale gaming convention with everything con and we've decided to include Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Melee on the tournament roster of console games! OmegaCon will run from September 27-29, 2013 and will feature a 24 hour gaming room for the entire weekend! The Holiday Inn will also be providing discounted rates for anyone attending the con and staying at the hotel for the weekend.

**Important**
We currently have $500 + entrance fees in prize money for Smash bros. However, if enough interest is shown for Smash OmegaCon will DOUBLE the initial prize money for a total of $1000 + entrance fees. The way to show that smash will be a big part of this convention is to go to the facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/omegaconVA), like it, and post something showing interest in Smash bros! If we can assure OmegaCon that there is a significant interest in Smash Bros at the convention they will add in the extra prize money.

Aside from SSB, OmegaCon will have a TON more to offer. Just in the console room, OmegaCon will feature an expansive roster of games including, but not limited to, titles of: Mario Kart, Mario Party, Wii Sports Olympics, Street Fighter games and more. The LAN room will be featuring a number of PC games and arcade games will be available, too! OmegaCon isn't limited just to playing and watching games, though, we'll also be hosting a costume contest on the main stage for anyone and everyone interested in showing off their epic cosplay! On top of that, we'll have live music from gaming and anime based bands!
Even with all of that, I haven't covered everything OmegaCon has to offer and I encourage everyone to keep posted on the OmegaCon FB page and website for official updates on the progress of each section of the con! Be sure to spread the word and GET HYPE!!
