By now most of you now know Buffalo is for real when it comes to fighting game communities, and that we have numerous underrated players and efficiently run tournaments. We aim to up the ante yet again.
Bringing in a POT BONUS for SF4 and SC4!! (details below)
With all the hype out there for crap a** tournaments run by people who don't have a clue on how to run s**t, and let the inmates run the prison at their events, you can EXPECT better in Buffalo.
There will be:
- Huge pot bonuses, worth traveling for (will hopefully get larger by time of event)
- An extremely well organized and run tournament for each game.
- Brackets that WILL start on time and END on time
- No hassle or deception, 100% of the money goes to the players
- A large crowd, this tourney grows every time we hold it
- Space for everyone, no more cramping in small a** venues
I hope the BONUS + pot money will garner a little more travel interest from NYC, NJ, PA, OH, MA and MI. I want to see everyone possible make it, this will be an event to remember, please spread word and help this thing grow.
So on to the details you actually CARE about:

Location: University of Buffalo- Student Union Assembly Room (North Campus)
http://www.buffalo.edu/community/visitor_directions_north.html
For those coming off the 290, get off at the Millersport exit and take Millersport North to Flint Rd (should be first intersection, if Flint isnt the first intersection with a light then you are going the wrong way on Millersport)
- Make a Left on Flint Rd
- Proceed on Flint into UB campus
- Make a right on Ausburger Rd (if the street isn't labled it's not Ausburger)
- Proceed to the parking lots immediately to your left, but park towards their middle section (Jacobs Lot)
- WALKING directions from here:
- Head up the first walkway leading away from those parking lots (towards Jacobs Hall, passing it on your left)
- Cross Putnam Rd and continue in between Baldy Hall and Lockwood Library through a walkway.
- The Student Union is directly in front of you now, head to the first floor, make a left down the first hallway near the stairs and you will be at the assembly room (rm 145)

Time: Doors open at 12pm for casuals, tourneys start at 2pm.
(may be slight delay to any early birds as we have to wait for building maintenance to give the "ok" on the room when it is being set up, stupid University politics at work here)
Venue Fee: FREE

So again, we had a huge turn out at RitT 2 despite no hype, over 70 players showed up. We plan on even MORE being here this time for that extra pot money.
If you have any questions on crash space, directions, tourney ideas, side tourney ideas or anything, PLEASE ASK and keep this thread HYPED.
The tourney will be run well and done in a timely fashion, all you have to do is- SHOW UP and STOP TALKIN MESS FROM BEHIND THAT KEYBOARD.
see you soon!
