Expert division and Hard division.  Depending on the reception of our inaugural contest, future contests would incorporate medium and easy division.  In the event of more than 8 preregistered for either or both brackets, a qualifying round will be held to determine the final 8 for each bracket.  The format for the round will be high score on a random song with the top 8 scores moving on to the bracket round.  Seeding will also be determined by this high score also.  The standard Red Octane sg controller will be available at the event but all combatants are encouraged to bring their own ax if they wish.

E-mail me at SciFiClub@fordham.edu with “Guitar Hero Charity” as the subject for more info. Fordham has a strict policy about letting non-students onto campus, but I’ll try to get anyone who is interested in.

Hey everybody. My name is Mikel Hernandez and I run Fordham University’s Gaming Club (dubbed CSF). Every year we have a video game benefit to raise money for the Child’s Play Charity in order to help the children in the Montefiore Children’s Hospital. This year we are not fundraising, we’re fundROCKING. The game of choice: GUITAR HERO 2.

The first tournament of the night is only open to beginners and will be set on EASY mode. Everyone will start on equal footing in this tournament, so there is no reason to shy away if you think you’ll do bad. Just grab the controller and within minutes you’ll be hitting those notes no problem.

The second tournament is for the seasoned veterans of the original Guitar Hero, the HARD mode. This is where you might want to make use of the Practice Mode, because the competition will be tough.

The final tournament is for the guitar prodigy, the Guitar God high score challenge. We will hand-pick what we believe is the hardest song in Guitar Hero 2, crank it up to EXPERT, and let people fail one by one as the insane guitar solos fill the screen with impossibly fast notes.

Don’t think you’ll be able to win in any of those three tournaments? We’ve got you covered. The final prize of the night will be given to the person who symbolizes the spirit of rock and roll while playing Guitar Hero. Headbanging, tossing up the horns, costumes, and melting faces are all encouraged for this one.

When: December 6th at 4pm
Where: Cereal Barn

Guitar Hero of Destiny Tournament Details:

There will be three tournaments, one each for the following difficulty levels:  Medium, Hard and Expert.  We will be playing Guitar Hero 2, NOT Guitar Hero 1.

Qualifying for the tournament will be free.  Just come into any Colorado Springs Game Crazy from November 8^th-15^th.

You will play a predetermined song according to difficulty.  You will have one chance to play the song and that score will be recorded along with your name and phone number (Players under the age of 17 will need a parent to come into the store and give their permission).  You are allowed to qualify for more than one difficulty, but should you make the cut for more than one difficulty, you will be automatically put in the most difficult category you qualified for.

After the 15^th, we will get the lists of everyone who tried out and contact the contestants no later than November 17^th.

Should someone try to qualify at more than one Game Crazy, we will take the score from the earliest date and disregard the rest.

The top 25 contestants in the Medium and Hard categories will be allowed into their respective tournaments.  The top 10 contestants in the Expert category will be allowed into the Expert tournament.

November 19^th at 2:00pm, single elimination tournaments will be held at the following locations:

Medium- Fountain Game Crazy Store (719) 393-1205

Hard- Dublin Game Crazy Store (719) 260-1299

Expert- Research Game Crazy Store (719) 282-9022

The entree fee for the tournament itself will be $5.00.  Thanks to our sponsors, EVERYONE entered in the tournament itself will receive a prize valued at more than $5.00.  Initial prizes will be revealed to contestants when they are contacted.  Grand prizes are still being determined.

Players are encouraged to bring their own guitar controller as long as it has not been modified.  We will also have controllers at the tournament.

The tournament will be in a seeded format (i.e. #1 against #25).  Songs will be chosen for each round randomly from the complete initial songlist.  NO bonus songs will be chosen.  The highest score in the Medium and Hard difficulties will receive a first-round bye.

After the tournaments are over, all names and phone numbers will be destroyed so they can’t be used for purposes outside of the tournament.

Come join us for a night of Guitar Hero II fun with Pink Godzilla! On November 11th, Pink Godzilla will be celebrating the release of the long awaited Guitar Hero 2! After having the chance to sample this fine game at PAX this year, we are completely stoked to have ourselves a little Guitar Hero party, and all of Seattle is invited to come shred some serious virtual ax with us!

Think you’re the best Guitar Hero player in Seattle? Then come prove it pal. The party starts at 8 pm and ends when our fingers cry out for mercy! Prizes from Red Octane will be awarded by the Elite Beat Agents, who are also doubling as judges! The competition and party are both free to the public, but you have to be 21 or over as we will be serving free beer to really simulate the rock concert vibe.
