A.K.A. The only thing happening in Arkansas.
We're planning a tournament, Arkansas Armageddon, slated for June 27th in Bentonville, Arkansas. So far we're still just a club run out of the local community college, but we're looking at potential sponsors and venues in hopes of growing into something significant. We're also poking into the legality of cash prizes and other incentives. To the best of my knowledge, video games =/= not games of chance = cash prizes totally legal. In that case, a $5 entry fee with cash pot is completely feasible. The more people that show interest and can come, the higher the stakes'll get. Anyone is welcome and there are many fairly nice hotels in Bentonville, but I'd advise against paying a lot of money in hopes of making it back, at least this first year. It's planned as a one all day event. Food will be free!
Schedule:
1v1
Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, Mortal Kombat 9,
Marvel vs Capcom 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl,
Tekken 6
2v2
Halo: Reach
Fighting games will be played on PS3, so take that into consideration when bringing sticks or controllers. (Converter lag made me decide against buying one.) Reach will be played on two 360s on two opposite facing TVs. Also scheduled is a Zelda speed run contest with OoT 3DS as a prize. More details will come to light at the event.
Time: June 27th, 10 AM to Finish
Location: Northwest Arkansas Community College's Student Center, 1 College Drive, Bentonville, Arkansas
Last Day to Enter: June 15th
Email EternalAvalon@gmail.com to enter. Entry fees will be collected at the door.
For those more visual, tl;dr, here's a trailer-ma-jig I made.

Feel free to ask me any questions, or make suggestions. Both are appreciated. = ) This tournament's been in the works for roughly 2 years and every effort is being made to make it the most professionally run gaming event in the area. The local competition is no slouch, either, with a fair number of Tekken, Smash Bros, and Halo players itching for a challenge. We want to give the area and those around us the environment it needs to grow as a competitive community.
