Adventure Games Guitar Hero 2 Tournament - Saturday September 1st 2007.

With the success of the last tournament - and the length of the tournament we will be changing formats - so as not to last as long. Our new format will guarantee everyone gets to play in our state of the art console theater; and that our tournament will not last as long.

No matter how many players - the tournament will be Single Elimination with Seeding.

At 12 PM on Saturday September 1st 2007 we will have open registration. There will be no max on competitors, and at 2:00 PM the registration will close.

First round - Seeding round. This will be one song that everyone will play on MEDIUM. The scores will be taken and that will show where you are seeded for this tournament.

Second round - the mode setting will be changed HARD. Competition will be based on one song chosed by the judge winner take all.

Third round - the mode setting will stay on HARD. Competition from this point will be based on composite score over 2 songs. Each player will pick one song. This format will continue until the finals.

Final Round - To Determine First and Second place - the final round will have 3 songs - chosen by the judge, winner will be based on composite score.

Entry Fee - $5.00

First and Second place will receive a cash prize based on the number of participants.

There will be prize support for third and fourth place - as well as random giveaways during the tournament.
