Game Underground, an arcade in Natick, MA, is holding their annual arcade championship the weekend of 10-12 November, and for the first time will include TGM2+ as a side tournament! Ruleset is still being finalized but I wanted to get out the announcement now so people can save the date. I will update this thread as rulesets are finalized. Event info: For those without Facebook: Game Underground is in the Natick Mall at 1245 Worcester St, Natick, Massachusetts. GUAC is their annual weekend of tournaments featuring events for: Rhythm Games - Dance Dance Revolution 2014 - beatmania IIDX 23 copula - pop'n music eclale - jubeat Qubell - Pump It Up! Prime 2 - Museca 1+1/2 - Reflec Beat The Reflesia of Eternity Classic Games - Air Hockey - Pinball NOTE: Skeeball is up in the air at the moment. Side Tournaments - Windjammers - TGM2: The Absolute Plus More TBA based on interest. Rulesets are being posted at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BxrBpMazSWmiT2JZUHhkdG53NjA?usp=sharing Prize support will be announced later and will include an overall title! Hope to see you there!
Update: TAP is being added as a main tournament and will have a $5 buy-in. Expect a 50/30/20 split for the prize pool. Please note that entering any main tournament (which now includes TAP) will also require a $10 venue fee to support the overall tournament. The tournament will be a bracket (single or double elim will depend on number of entrants, but expect double since this will be a weekend-long event). I know the schedule currently says TAP starts Sunday but I will be pushing them to start Saturday so make sure we can get a double-elim bracket in. Format will be leaderboard-style: head-to-head matches on Master mode, high grade wins, mastering time breaks tie (so effectively whatever would place higher on the high score leaderboard). Keep up to date with the event on the facebook page and check out the latest updates!
That was a super fun and intense tourney, I'm very happy to have attended and helped run it Hope to see more TAP tournaments like this! I streamed top 4 to my twitch, so here's the full vod if you want to check it out:
