[Sairus]

Sorry about the late announcement. I've been ever so busy and kept forgetting.

As is now the standard there will be a main SSF4 tournament and a side tournament. To celebrate Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3's launch, it will be this month's side event.

SSFIV details:

Entry is €15 to the Street Fighter 4 tournament. If you've never been to a Tempest before you get €5 off your entry.
If you've already been to one you can bring a new player with you and get €5 off both your entries!
Casuals and registration start from 11.00. The tournament itself will start at 13.00.

UMvC3 Details:

The side tournament will cost €5 to enter and prizes will be given to the top two placers.
Registration will be taken towards the end of the SSFIV tournament - somewhere around 15.30 - 16.00.

---------------------------

Both tournaments will be run exclusively on Xbox 360s.

There'll be a couple of extra pads on hand for those without, but please bring your own controller of choice if possible.

Anyone who can bring equipment (Games, consoles, monitors, etc) please do so!

If anyone needs to contact me and wants my mobile number, PM me.

Finally, SSF4 is seeded based on previous events. The seed list is currently:



Congrats to Shokashi for finally clawing his way to the top!

Here's a quick map of the venue in relation to the bus and train stations.

Time is set to 99 seconds.

UMvC3:

I have something going on in the early morning but I should hope to be there for 12, with more than likely my xbox in tow as per usual.

Fixed it anyways

[raah!]

I'll be square! I can bring my xbox too if it's needed. Haven't played in a while, but I'm sure everyone will be extra hype for the upcoming new list of gouken buffs

[Sairus]

I'll be honest, I am totally uninterested in the SF4 part of this tourney! UMvC3 all the way.
