[Apr 28, 2012] Civil War 4! A Road to EVO Event! (Richmond, VA)

Greetings to everyone from RVAtournaments.com and RVA Fight Club!
It’s time once again to announce Virginia’s biggest major, CIvil War!
We’re coming at you with all 6 EVO main games, as well as 5 more tournaments!
We’re also proud to announce that Civil War 4 will be a “Road to EVO” event for all 6 of these games, so if you want your Evolution seeding points and a chance to get on that big stream event, come to Richmond, Virginia at the end of April!
The date
We will be hosting it from 6pm April 27th to Sunday 29th 2012. That’s right, a 2.5 day event! Schedule is to be announced and is dependent on registrations, but plan on most tournaments taking place saturday, and top 16’s (or even 32’s) taking place on Sunday.
The venue
will be Comfort Inn Midtown Conference Center in Richmond, VA.
We will have two ballrooms with over 7000 sq ft of space! This is the same location we’ve had River City Runbacks and River City Bowl, with the added bonus of a secondary ballroom.
Room blocks have been added at an ULTRA discount rate of 69$ per night. That’s SUPER cheap! Book now, because it’s a NASCAR race weekend in Richmond, and those rates won’t last! Rate will expire April 16th!
EDIT: ROOMS ARE SOLD OUT. PLEASE CHECK OUT NUMEROUS HOTELS IN AREA FOR ADDITIONAL LODGING.
The price
Every game is 10$ to enter with one exception (more on that later).​
Pre-reg venue fee (CHANGED FEB 12th)
is 20$ from now until March 31st.
After that, it’s 30$ from April 1st-24th.
Registration will be 40$ at the door Saturday morning.
We will be handing out badging and allowing “at door” purchases of badges at the event on Friday night.
Please, please don’t wait until the last minute. The tourney experience is always better when I have more time to plan for the correct amount of attendance!
The pre party!
Team tourneys and side tourneys will be the night before on April 27th. Expect old school tournaments, team tourneys, and just general merriment. Also, we will be doing pre reg check ins, pool assignments, and last minute (at door) registrations there.
Without further ado…

So to my understanding the venue is the same as the hotel?
Yes. The venue is the same as the hotel listed. Rooms are currently 69$ a night (i'm working with them on this, but it's still a major discount from 99$).

A NASCAR event is that weekend, so the hotel WILL SELL OUT!

Reserve your room today (no money up front, just CC info), to prevent you being looking elsewhere for housing come tourney weekend.
 
Despite Flawless Victory only being 2 weeks prior, I expect a very healthy turnout for MK due to the EVO points seeding.

You're also bound to get more crossover players like Chris G (who's already confirmed)

Um, Civil War is a Road to EVO event.

Edit: Wait, I think I totally misunderstood you. You are going to Civil War. You're not going to Flawless Victory or Power Up.

I'm actually just wondering which day it would be so I don't have to take more time off work than I have to.
 
Civil War 4. Early bird preregistration ends in 5 days. Save yourself some money! Venue fee jumps from 20$ to 30$ on April 1st at 12:01am. Also, hotel is sold out outside of the reserved room block. I'm working on getting a 2nd hotel to reserve rooms, but you guys should start making housing/hosting plans.

rvatournaments.com/CivilWar

Call Melissa Colgin during business hours to reserve said room.


UPDATE:
Just got a block of rooms at the Days Inn about 20 blocks up the road. It's more expensive (103$ a night), but still discounted from 129. 15 rooms, mostly doubles.

whats the "guess-timated" entry count for MK? Or what was last years count ? just curious.

I've put in schedules and preparation for 128. Last year's CW had about 29, but it wasn't hugely advertised as an MK event, not to mention the overall tournament size has essentially doubled (at least). Tom Brady won.

If you put a gun to my head, I would predict a turnout consistant with most Capcom centric majors, in the 50-60 range. While we'll miss out of some of the MK focus of Flawless Victory, the tournament will have some cross scene players like Chris G.

Also, there will be a UMK3 cab there.
