Twelve Gauntlets are Better Than One

This fact is now law; let it be known that twelve gauntlets are better than just one!

INTRODUCING YOUR FUN AND GAME AREA HOSTS…

If you’re new to UFGT, we want to welcome you and explain a little more about something you won’t see at any other fighting game competition… our FUN & GAMES area.  Super Balrog Ball, Kombat 21 and Divekick (among other games) have been created to give you something to do during your down time.  Our games are popular for a number of reasons…

1) You never play against the house.  These are head-to-head games involving 2 to 6 players.  Grab friends and compete.  They’re fun to watch and even more fun to play.

2) Games only cost one dollar to play with winners every time.   Every player gets at least one raffle ticket per play, even on a loss.  Those raffle tickets can get you some mighty fine stuff, including arcade sticks and an Infinity Gauntlet!  Top winners get an additional raffle ticket and PRIZE POINTS to spend at the INFINITY TOON TOWN SHOPPE.  Everyone wins!

3) The shoppe is stocked with wonderful items and collectables you might like for yourself or to take home as a gift for someone special.

4) If you have any worries about game rules, forget it!  Simply ask your hosts Anna, Steve & Papa Keits (Jonathan).  Their easy-to-understand instructions and friendly attitudes will make your gaming experience entertaining and enjoyable.  You’ll be glad you brought along a few extra dollars for the FUN & GAMES area… a unique fighting game competition feature that can only be found at UFGT8!

I know what you are thinking, and yes, they do light up.  (We’ll add some art or stickers to spice these up later)

TREASURE HUNTING AT UFGT8

Disney pin trading was introduced in October 1999.  Today, countless collectors around the world trade and sell individual pins as well as pin sets.  While the true value of a particular pin is different for everyone, thousands of unique Disney pins have been created over the years and many have become quite valuable.  Because you have been keeping up with this blog, you know the INFINITY TOON TOWN SHOPPE is filled with interesting collectables and curiosities.  When you redeem your PRIZE POINTS, take time to browse well over 600 items.  There are treasures to be found.

For months now, this site has been packed with information about games, rules, prizes, payouts, panels, registration, schedules, INFINITY GAUNTLETS, the stank police (one of my favorite posts) and more.  It might be a good idea to review many of the past posts.  Information is power… and the big event is only days away.

 

Why is the Sunday Schedule So Weird?

I wanted to take a few minutes to write about this year’s Sunday “Finals Day” schedule and explain why it is so odd.   We are doing a lot of unique things at UFGT8, and these things have been very popular in the past.  Mystery Game Tournament and our Raffles broke up last year’s Finals Day, but left time for only Top 3s and Top 4s in most games to be played on stream.

This year, we are fortunate enough to have two streams (one by Level|Up, the other by Focus Fire).  As a result, I’ve decide to maintain the same pace of the Sunday-show that you enjoyed last year on the Level|Up stream by showing the top 4 in each of the 8 main games.  If you want to see the full top 8, however, all you need to do is tune into the Focus Fire stream as scheduled below to see 8 players fight until only 4 remain.  At that time, the remaining four players will move over to the Level|Up stream to finish the tournament.

This may seem confusing at first, but you can easily head over to the www.leveluplive.tv website to conveniently view both streams simultaneously.  We know this is a little different from what you are used to, and we thank you for your patience and understanding as we try this format out.   Remember, just tune into the Focus Fire stream to see your favorite game’s top 8 start, and then follow it over to the Level|Up stream when it transfers over.   Please enjoy the show.

Vicko Custom UFGT Balltops

One of the most unusual prizes that you can spend your Infinity Points on in the Toon Town Shoppe are these amazing custom UFGT Logo Balltops by Vicko.   If you manage to earn enough points in the Fun & Games area to snag one of these, you’ll also get a complimentary installation from Vicko himself.  Simply take the Balltop over to his table in the Modder’s Corner and you’ll be fighting in ULTIMATE style in no-time.

Registration Closed – Pool Assignments Now Available

While the current set of pool assignments are subject to small changes (let me know if you notice anything weird, please), you can head over the Schedule page and click on the Pool Assignments link to see when you play.

Please check back Wednesday for the finalized pool assignments.

Last Chance to Pre-Register for UFGT8

There is just under 1 hour left for you to pre-register for UFGT8.  While Emergency Registration at the door is still an option after today, you should make yourself aware of why you should avoid Emergency Registration at all costs.

• Pre-Registrants are entered into the Door Prize raffle, where over a dozen arcade sticks are being given away, at no charge.  That’s right!  Free raffle entry!
• Pre-Registrants will be seeded and scheduled into pools with attention to detail for region.  We know that no one travels to a large event to play their training buddies, and Pre-Registrants even have a chance to view the pools before they become final to ensure that we didn’t make any mistakes.
• Emergency Registrants will not be seeded at all, and will simply be dropped into an empty slot in one of the pre-made pools.  On top of that, each tournament will have a cap on its entries after Pre-Registration closes, and should a bracket completely fill, no additional at-the-door entries will be allowed.  We plan very carefully to avoid hitting these caps, but they are in place so that we can run a smooth, on-time event no matter what, and we will enforce this rule.  On top of all this, it costs $10 more.

THANK YOU
