Prizes:
NOTE* There will be separate brackets, and therefore separate prizes and entrant counts for each console.
Less than 20 entrants:
1st Place – 65% of Singles Admission
2nd Place – 35% of Singles Admission
3rd Place – Free entry to a future tournament

More than 20 but less than 50 entrants:
1st Place 60% of Singles Admission
2nd Place 30%
3rd Place 10%

More than 50 entrants:
1st Place 50% of Singles Admission
2nd Place 25%
3rd Place 15%
4th Place 10%
5th Place 5%

If there are between 20 and 50 players and a majority of the players vote to change the prize break up to the payouts for more than 50 entrants, we may change it to that. Otherwise the default is what we will use.

*NOTE*
If you hadn't figured this out by now, the more people that enter, the higher amount of money you have a chance of winning at the end. So do us, and yourself, a favor and tell everyone you know about this. Share it on your Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and Google+

We will attempt to supply any of the following, while the supplies last:
- Pepsi
- Dr Pepper
- Mountain Dew
- Free Water

Also located near the Youth Center:
McDonald's
Subway
Pizza Hut
China Wok
Trail's End Pizza
Yes, you are allowed to bring outside food and drink into the Youth Center. Just dispose of it!

The tournament entry fees are as follows:
$10 per person - tournament fee - 100% of this goes to the winning pot.
$5 per person - venue fee - this is used to pay for the expenses of the tournament, such as renting a nice place to hold the tournaments, renting/buying equipment needed to play, buying ink/paper for all of the flyers/registration forms these things require. None of the staff working the tournaments get paid. We aren't trying to take your money, we just want to provide something fun for you to all come do.

If you bring a setup for us to use (and we actually use it) we will waive the venue fee.
Setup can include any of the following groups of items:

1. HDMI capable Xbox 360, with the game, preferably with DLC characters Rain, and Kenshi. (Skarlet and Freddy not required as they are banned.)
2. Playstation 3, with the game, preferably with DLC characters Rain and Kenshi. (In addition to the two listed above, Kratos is not necessary.)
3. High Def display with HDMI input and HDMI cable, preferably near 23" to keep them all similar, but since these won't need system links any high def display will be accepted.

Unfortunately, you will not get any additional money off if you bring more than one of the previous listed, however we will be grateful!

Bonus Prizes:
We will be keeping track of how many finishing moves you do and there will be a small bonus prize at the end for the winner or winners. This will be kept track of using a point system. A normal fatality is worth 1 point, a babality is worth 2 points, and a stage fatality is worth 2 points. The bonus is for people who know these moves and execute them without looking them up.

so, I'm understanding that no characters are banned except Kratos now?
yup. All characters & costumes are good to go. Only Kratos is banned, but thats obviously only for PS3 tourrneys. Then those stages.

How far is Loudonville from C-Bus?
 
What about Wasteland stage? I read about a JK bug where a JK won't happen at certain heights?

Other than that, I updated my post with the rules you suggested. Thanks.


Loudonville is about an hour and a half north of Columbus. We've got others coming from there so if you're interested maybe we can set up a car pool.

Still looking into the Wasteland bug, but as of now, its good. And that block infinite-glitch combo stuff isnt anything to worry about.

I dont even play MK9 at this point, but i run most MK9 tourneys in Ohio, the Big 3 C's: Columbus, Cincinnati & Cleveland. I got 2 full ASUS/Ps3 setups, with all my cords, all DLC etc etc etc. So if i can make it, i'd love to run/help.

That would be amazing! We would welcome any help. ;)
 
bump! we've got people coming from as far as Connecticut (who happens to be in the top 70 on PSN) for this thing, so don't think that just because we're small town we don't have a good time. ;)
 
bump... only a few days left... not a lot of people pressed attending... you must either be busy in Chicago like ArsenalOfGlory... or you didn't want to get beat at Mortal Kombat in a small Ohio town. ;)
