-------------------------------------
Here's some FAQ's for you, please read before asking a question:
Q: When will I know of the tourney times?
A: The tournaments will be posted AT the convention, due to many unknown factors with scheduling conflicts.
Q: Where can I sign up for the tournaments?
A: At the convention, the game room main desk will have the sign-ups.
Q: Can I sign up for more than one tournament?
A: Yes. If they are being run at overlapping times, sign up at your own risk.
Q: What's the Naruto games?
A: The more popular ones are the PS2 one (Narutimate Hero aka Ultimate Hero) and Gamecube/Wii (Gekitou Ninja Taisen aka Clash of the Ninja).
Q: Is there going to be PS2 Naruto?
A: No. It was originally on the list, however we weren't confident that many players really cared for it, and we were getting to the point where there may not be time to run it.
Q: What's these "TBD" games?
A: This means there are different versions we can use, and we hope to get the latest versions out, provided it's out past at least about a month from the game's release. If a game gets released within weeks of the con, the game tends to be a bit skewed towards the players that bought the game right away, not really making a good level field for people to learn the game. That's why Smash Brothers Brawl is not on the list.
Q: What about Super Smash Brothers Brawl/SBBB/Smash Bros. on Wii?
A: See: above.
Q: What if I want to run a tournament?
A: PM or e-mail me ASAP.
Q: I didn't like the way a tourney was run last year, how can I know if it'll be run the same way this year?
A: Please communicate that with me. Post here, encourage discussion, we want to make a tournament that'll be the most fair for the majority of players. While more often than not, most tourney rules will dissatisfy some players, the only thing we can do is try to accomodate in the way that's most fair to test the skill of the players.
Q: I think this game should be on the list.
A: Post up and make suggestions. Who knows? Maybe other people will want to see it at ACen too!
Q: How can games be cancelled from this tourney list?
A: Mainly they'll be cancelled because we don't have the system, controllers, or the game. This is why we heavily rely on donations from players like you! If you would like to make a donation (consoles, controllers, games), PLEASE contact us! You may PM or e-mail me if you like.
Q: What are these "Championship" tournaments?
A: We're going to be holding a tournament encompassing several different games, one from fighting games, one for music games, and one for specific games in the gameroom. We will be posting details very soon!
Q: You should schedule around the Masquerade/Soap Bubble!
A: We are aware that attendees want to attend our headlining events. Unfortunately, this also puts major time restraints on our events, so we try our hardest to avoid scheduling the big tournaments during these events, but there's only so much we can do.
Q: What about Dragonball Budokai?
A: Unfortunately, there's a lot of deliberation about the Budokai series. Until we can get a definitive answer for the game, we will not hold an official tourney at this time.
--------------------
Due to popular demand, we'll be hosting three separate tournaments with cash prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place!
This is the first time ACen has held an official cash prize tourney with entry fees. The entry fee is projected right now at $5 a head per game, and whatever the end pot is, ACen will DOUBLE it!
If you're looking to warm up for this year's Evo 2k7 qualifers in Chicago (hosted by Nickel City in June), this will be a perfect opportunity!
The following games will be the official pay-to-enter tournaments:
Marvel VS Capcom 2 (arcade, consoles may be used to speed things up)
Street Fighter III : 3rd Strike (arcade, consoles may be used to speed things up)
Guilty Gear XX Slash (PS2)
If this is successful, you can expect more of these tournaments in the future with bigger cash prizes!
Conditions for entering the above tournaments:
-You must have a valid con badge to enter.
-To enter, you must (obviously) have paid the entry fee. Fees will be collected at the con, cash only.
-Entry fees are non-refundable.
-All decision by the judges/organizers are final.
-We will try to follow as close to Evo regulations as possible. However, due to the nature of the convention, some modifications to the rules may change.
-All conditions, times, rules, and prizes are subject to change without notice.

Anime Central 2007's gaming staff presents:
The ACen X Championship series
What is it?
There are two sub categories, and one overall category:
Fighting games
Music games
Jack-of-all-trades
You will be doing 5 game mini-tournament marathons, and the entrant with the most points wins!
How will it be run?
All details are still being worked on, but it will be kind of like an decathalon without as many events. Just because you may not be good in one or two games certainly doesn't mean you don't have a chance of winning!
The ??? game has been decided, but will not be revealed until the convention!
KEEP CHECKING THIS FORUM FOR MORE UPDATES!
Why are we doing it?
We know you're competitive. We know some of you can be awesome in one game, but not necessarily the other. What if you're not confident? There's also a 5th game that will be the curveball; it can make or break your win. Don't think you'll stand a chance? Try it! You never know whose butt you can kick in a game that someone else could rock on one game, but have no clue how to play the other!
What's the prizes?
With our sponsors, we're working on a bigger prize packages than just our standard tournament prizes!
