The USC Gamers Network in association with USC Information Technology Programming, Primetime Gamers, and Nos Energy Drinks presents: Game On 2!

Link to Event: http://tinyurl.com/gameon2

WHAT:

Game On 2 will be a one day tournament held on the University of Southern California campus and will feature Melee, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition.

WHEN:

Saturday, September 24 from 12pm – 8pm

WHERE:

USC Ronald Tutor Campus Center Room 450, The Forum
3607 Trousdale Parkway
Los Angeles, CA 90007

Room 450 is located on the fourth floor of the Ronald Tutor Campus Center near the center of the USC Campus.

ENTRY FEE

USC has a strict no-gambling rule, and they consider a tournament like this gambling if it involves money. As a result, we can’t charge a normal tournament entry fee that pools into a pot.

Instead, we are only charging a small $5 venue fee, and from there you can enter any of the 3 tournaments (Melee, MvC3, SSF4: AE) for free. You can choose to enter as many as you want, it’s up to you. If you are a USC student and have your USC ID, we will waive the venue fee.

If you bring a full melee setup (non-laggy TV, console, and game) AND WE USE YOUR SETUP, we will waive your venue fee. If you bring part of a setup (i.e. Only a non-laggy TV, console, or game) AND WE USE IT, we will take $2 off of your venue fee. Please PM me and let me know if you are bringing a setup, the more the merrier.

PRIZES:

USC ITP has been kind enough to sponsor prizes for this event, as we cannot have a cash pot prize. ITP will be providing $75 Visa Cards (which is basically the same as cash) for 1st place in each tournament as well as $50 visa cards for 2nd place in each tournament. Nos will also be giving a consolation prize for 3rd place in addition to free giveaways during the event.

If we could just do this tournament normally and give the winners cash from the pot we would, but USC is strict on their no gambling policy. That being said, if any of you want to do money matches, be discrete about it so that the TO’s don’t get in trouble.

SCHEDULE:

12:00 pm – Doors open, registration begins. Please be there on time, it’s not like this tournament is starting early in the morning.
1:00 pm – Melee tournament begins
1:30 pm – SSF4 tournament begins
2:00 pm – MvC3 tournament begins
8:00 pm - Doors Close

We will only be having a singles tourney for Melee.

Once each tournament starts, registration will be CLOSED. This means that if you show up at 1:01, you won’t be able to register. PLEASE ARRIVE ON TIME!

RULES:

Rules for all three games can be found here: http://tiny.cc/GAMEON2RULESET

It says Road to Apex = Sept. 10-11 this is the 24th doesn't look like it's conflicting

That said, I'm entering all three

So, looks like there's no way we can reschedule this. I know a lot of people will be attending Road to Apex, but this should be a fun tourney regardless!

Also, if you plan on bringing any sort of setup, please let me know in this thread so I know ahead of time what to expect. Thanks!

Only singles are planned as of now.

The more setups we have, the better our odds of running doubles and possibly a crew battle, but those are not guaranteed.

That was fun. I hadn't played Melee in like 2 months so I really needed this.

Sorry I couldn't help bring setups down when you guys were packing up. I would have, but I had an hour and a half bus ride to take, and I wasn't sure how long buses around here run. My bad, I'll make sure to help more if you guys host another one of these.

Grats to the winners. Nice to meet you all, even if we didn't get to talk much. Good ****
