PRE-REGISTRATION
CLICK HERE: https://tokyousainc.wufoo.com/forms/okgamers-6th-anniversary-preregistration/

WANT TO KNOW WHO'S SHOWING UP?  We'll see you on the 25th up   In all honesty, people won't find out about this in some cases till the day of.  Some gamers wouldn't pre-reg, even though it's free AND saves you money - just because they are lazy, etc...  Pre-reg usually only accounts for 30% of actual attendance at some events!  However, to encourage the use of pre-registration we've waived the organization fee if you d0 pre-reg.  See the smart ones here.

ATTENDEE LIST:  https://tokyousainc.wufoo.com/reports/okg6th-attendee-list/


HARDWARE
OKgamers will have 16 Asus "No lag" style monitors at this event for Fighters.
HxC LAN Center will have 16 setups.
OKgamers Community Leads will help provide consoles and hardware for their games.
Attendees that can bring "full setups" - aka no-lag TV, console and games will have organization fee's waived, and high-5's given.

HALO REACH HAS BEEN ADDED: however it's 100% "community provided", aka HxC has worked with Halo gamers to make sure we have at least 8 setups to run the event on showing up...  BUT, we are paranoid; gamers lives change, etc - MAKE SURE if you are coming for Halo Reach you bring a hardware setup if you can!  If we don't have enough hardware to run the event, we do reserve the right to cancel it!  (We should be fine; but help insure that by bringing your Halo Setup if you can!)

ATTENDING HARDWARE - you can see on the Attendee List - https://tokyousainc.wufoo.com/reports/okg6th-attendee-list/


WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING AS A TOURNAMENT PARTICIPANT?
If you plan on playing in a tournament - your entry fees in cash and your own controller, as extra controllers will not be present beyond what gamers brought to use themselves.  (Cash?  Yes, sorry, no CC machine here guys lol.)

And yes, Obviously: Console gamer = correct console controller, PC gamer = keyboard. 

"You mentioned bringing hardware." - for those hardcore and/or helpful members of the fighting or FPS community, yes, we do have people bring hardware.  Luckily for those 2 types of gamers, 4 to 8 setups go a long way, only requiring a few to bring hardware; if you want to help out, we have an area on the pre-registration form, please let us know what you can bring!


NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK!
Why?  While we will be there for a while, the good news is TCC Metro's Campus Cafeteria area will be opened up to us!  Plenty to purchase in snacks, drinks, and food!  They may have hours they run their grill vs not, etc - just make sure to check in with them after pre-registration, etc!

--

We've been planning this event for months, but still have some sponsors and details to lock down; check back here for updates!!
ENJOY GAMING?? Don't miss out on this, it has something for EVERYONE!
See you in February at one of Oklahoma's largest yearly gaming events!

Flyer IS ATTACHED - please spread the word where you can!  Community Leads and Supporters, if you are wanting to do a big run, we do have flyers printed as well if you want to get those.

In there.

So for the sc2 tournament, do you guys already have computers or do we have to bring our own?

[compy286]

I will have two computers for official games and bracket play. You are encouraged to bring your own equipment to help make things easier, but not required.

[Scotcheroo]

How is the scheduling for the different tournies going to work? I know some people that would like to enter both SC2 as well as some of the fighters, and maybe even some of the shooters. Since the shooters and SC2 matches take much longer than the fighters, will the tournies be running concurrently or will they be separated?

OKgamers staff members do a good job on allowing everyone to play in multiple games. We recommend knowing the guys that are running each event and stay in touch with them the entire event so you can know when its your turn and so they can manage the bracket to keep going.

I hear ya. I just wanted to bring up the potential issue that since SC2 matches take a LOT longer than fighting game matches, the fighting game tournies may get held up due to waiting on a player to finish their SC2 match.

That being said I would play your fighters first because they go super quick.
