Do you guys have converters?? Lots of us in So Cal play on PS3 Pad...

 

[Darkhood88]

We are working on getting a pair of converters. I will keep you updated on how many we get.

 

[Darkhood88]

Ok just checked with the other TO's and unfortunately we will not be able to provide converters. HOWEVER, H20 Famer is bringing down 1 of his so If anyone has a another one they can bring we can make sure all PS3 players will be taking care of. I am also in talk about getting at least a 100$ guarantee 1st place prize for MK. I am pretty sure that will be going down because I am donating my future prize winnings for local tournys to it.

Right now MK has the biggest hype going into the tourny. With big names from NoCal and Socal coming down MK will be the Main Event if everyone comes down. I will update this thread with confirmed and possible entries. If I get more confirmed players I will try to raise the guarentee prize money. I'm Hype for this and so are the TO's. I want MK to be the main event and be the Hypest game there. Thanks for the Love Guys and looking foward to meeting everyone and seeing Chef and Bone again.

Lol Yes Sir, I believe My Sub took out your Darkseid. We can do a runback for it for sure. Mk is going to be getting a lot of love at the tourny.

 

[Darkhood88]

Mk will have a $100 Pot Bonus for1st place.

Edit: SSF4, UMvC3 and Starcraft 2 will also have $100 Pot Bonuses, Plus if we get some more sponsors the pot bonus will increase!

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

Ahhh! 100$ Pot Bonus!?

That's freaking sick.

 

[Darkhood88]

Who uses MKU?? lol..

 

[Darkhood88]

Yes you can register at the the door. I am talking with the TO's about the ps3 setups. Would you and everyone else be cool though using the 360 and converters for finals and streamed matches because all of our streaming equipment is set for the xbox

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

I'm just not sure we'll have enough converters =/

 

[Darkhood88]

Ok guys so we are now going to be running MK on the PS3 now since a majority of mk players are on that system. We will switch out s systems so we can stream the matches.

Also the pre- Registration is strictly for tournament games. The venue fee will still need to be paid at the door.

 

[Darkhood88]

Tournament times have been changed in first post reflecting MK as the main event.

 

[Darkhood88]

Also guys I'm the MK T.O./ Spokesperson for our scene up here. So if you have any questions or possible request let me know and I will do my best to accommodate.

Also if you preregister let me know and ill update the entry list.
