Northern Clash - 11th August '12, 12pm

fake_roogle

My goodbye present to the community before I leave the emerald isle~ Bringing to you another Northern event run by yours truly!! Keeping it short and sweet with the roster this time with just two games--AE 2012 and UMvC3. I'm not entering either, just gonna keep the event running smoothly so we hopefully get finished at a reasonable hour!

fb event: https://www.facebook.com/events/269881119794196/

Doors open at 12:00 for casuals at the usual spot up north (The Space @ QUB Student's Union). Registration is open until 12:45. Marvel will get started at 13:00 whilst AE will get started at 13:30. Hopefully, we can be all done and dusted by around 18:00-18:30ish so there is time for a post-tournament salty dinner!

Entry is £5 for each tournament game. The venue itself will be free for those that wish to spectate or play casuals. Prize split will be 70/20/10 amongst top 3 in both games.

Gonna try an interesting thing with the seeding based not only on results in recent locals (including down south) but also by region as to try and avoid the problem of many friends playing each other. Bear in mind with a player pool our size that it's quite difficult, but I will try to do my best. Other than that, the usual groups into top 8 double elimination.

If you're gonna be late, contact me and we'll try to get you sorted but no guarantees. If you're going to be entering both games, get here on time.

RULES:

---

General:

- All macros available via the in-game controller configuration menu are allowed.

- You must provide your own controller for games played on the required console. If you need a converter, please bring your own. This allows the groups to run smoothly.

Nutrient

Wanna try attend this

Nevflinn

I'm looking into travel arrangements for this, but it doesn't look *too* helpful. I'd like to be able to travel from Cork to Belfast in the morning and arrive in the afternoon, but unless I leave at 5 or 6 in the morning that isn't going to happen. My next best bet would be to travel up on Friday night and stay somewhere until morning. In case I were to do that, could any of you guys recommend me a cheap, safe place to stay at?

FoamyMushroom

I missed the last Inferno and would like to get to this, have no idea how to get there.. Train or bus? Directions to the place?

Scavenger XIII

Pot monster reporting for duty, it's been a while. :pac:

EmSixTeen

I'm woeful, but I'ma try and get up, even if just to see you lot. Schwing!

Doctor DooM

If anyone else is booking.
I recommend you do so now if you're coming as from the "Pick your own seat" thing it looks like there's not many seats left on either train.

Doctor DooM

Also I've spent 100 quid on booking tickets for people now, my card is about to explode, so I'm done!

2gen

i hope there is a decent showing for Marvel.

Doyler01

Might drive up to this. Pick up a few wetsers on the way.

Dreddybajs

Cheers Doom, sorry I haven't been around the net to say thanks, back in action on Tuesday, can give you the cash whenever.

D4RK ONION

Trains booked I'll be coming up Friday afternoon if people are up for casuals.

EmSixTeen

Got my shift swapped, btw. Definitely coming.

Voa

It's been a while since I've done anything with the community...I might make my way to this. Any more train prices going, or would it be possible to get a lift for petrol monies?

chopperbyrne

Do you and Ken still owe me petrol money from the last time?

...yes. Catch me at some point and I'll pay you back, I keep forgetting about it myself.



And doomy, do you have to book it with a credit card? Or is that just the price of the ticket?

I booked with my debit card, I'd bet it's not as cheap on the day at the station.

Voa

Could I be a jerk and ask you to pretty please nab a ticket for me?

Lythero

Oh man we are gonna storm the **** out of this tourney.

Belfast Marvel scene won't know what hit it.

Voa

Train's booked out...is there still a lift on offer?
