On Saturday the 14th of April the Irish Fighting Game Community will hold its third annual Evo qualifier tournament.

This years is being held in Goldsmith Hall, part of Dublins historical Trinity College. It's looking like the best one yet and will be streamed on www.twitch.tv/randomselectie for the world to see.
You can register on the day or pre register at http://evo.randomselect.ie

Doors open at 9.00 for registration. Entry to event is €10.


There'll be more prizes and much more merriment on the day.
Come along for the biggest day in the Irish Fighting Game calender year!

Hi all,

Tis that time of year again - Evo is coming. We, the Fighting Games Community of Ireland, are hosting a qualifying tournament for the event with a first prize of flights to Las Vegas to represent Ireland and compete for honour!

The main tournament will be SSF4AEv2012. We will also be running uMVC3, SFxT teams and, MK9 tournaments. If possible we may also run other smaller tournaments. This will depend on capability. A Timetable for the days events and the cost of entry will be confirmed and put up later in the week. We are hoping that everyone in the community can make it to this event and make it the biggest we have had so far. After the success of last years event I think we can go one better.

The rules will follow inferno for SSF4 and the other tournament formats for MVC3 and SFxT. MK9 format is tbc.

Prizes so far include flights, entry to EVO, some vouchers. Hopefully we will expand this to other prizes but the main point of course is to fund the main prize.

The event will be held at Goldsmith Hall, Pearse Street/Westland Row, Dublin 2, Co. Dublin City, Ireland on the 14th April, 2012 (Thanks to the Trinners crew for their help with this). There will be no inferno in April to help with this event (Thank you guys)

We are taking early registrations on the official website at http://evo.randomselect.ie (a completely different design to last years).

I could really do with everyone registering on the website as soon as possible if you can. Please goto the registration page and put in your details so we can plan to make the event memorable.

We will, for the first time, be streaming this tournament as well as the usual of recording equipment, the projectors setup and the latest technique of turtling and raging.

I will use this thread to update you as we get closer to the event. We only have 6 weeks to plan and execute this! I hope everyone can make from all over Ireland, up north, in Cork and the other wilds as well as Dublin.

I'll be putting up another thread for equipment and volunteers to help me with my madness.

COME ONE, COME ALL - GET HYPE!

Hound, Ladnopoka and Fergus are too scared to post but you should be aware that this is the same weekend as Stunfest. I imagine it's locked in place at this stage though.

[Fergus_]

Stunfest is on around that time. It would be a bad time because people outside Ireland would most likely attend that instead, maybe consider changing the date if it's possible or whatever to bring in more people.

EDIT: Damn you Orim

Date change is unpossible at this point I'm afraid...... Soz

Really? Is there more to it than just having Goldsmith for the day? Seems like it'd be worth working around that rather than clashing with one of the biggest European tournaments of the year.

The main concerns for timing this event in April were consideration for college exams in May, the lateness of start of planning (busy few weeks), and the proximity of Evo this year (early July instead of the last week). This is even more important this year as we do not have a couple of sticks lying about to offer as prizes and the cost of running this years will be higher - the earlier we book the flights, the cheaper they are. TBH I didn't know there was another event on that week but the venue is booked and website finished.

imho success would be everyone in Ireland (North and South) attending. Getting international people to come over would be nice but this is an irish qualifier (unofficial). I am not trying to be obstinate here.

Ah, shíte. I'm running the game tourneys at Anime Dublin on April 14th - it's basically a one day mini convention thing and we've a games room all day. I'm going to be hopefully running an SFxT tourney and it's only a fiver in for the whole day.

Was hoping some of you guys might pop in for the tourney but alas ;_; Also sad that I have to miss this now! Evo qualifiers last year were really fun.

if mk is there i'll be there

[Lythero]

Dude that registration page looks sliiiiiiick.

[Owwmykneecap]

Cool. will sign up there now.

As an aside Randomselect.ie needs to be fixed, people are going to click that home button yo, and could do with a quite a few people updating it too.

Registered. It was a struggle though as the site doesn't appear to like the android browser.

Maybe you should start the annual thread about it

Shud've got an iphone - works fine on that

[bush]

Any chance of running singles in sfxt instead of teams?

[Dreddybajs]

Yeah I'd agree with Bush on that one.
