Attention All Shred Heads!
Guitar Hero II $500.00 Cash Prize Tournament
Saturday, September 15th @ ULX in Grand Rapids, MI

http://www.ulxgr.com/events/ulx/guitar_hero_ii_500_tourny.html 

Do you have what it takes to be a STAR on the stage? ULX is forking over $500 in cash for first place as well as other prizes for other places in expert, hard and medium levels. Attendees will watch the tourney on the big screen behind you while you play to the audience (viewing a smaller screen) live on the stage in The Five One’s venue here at ULX . Register before Sept 7 and get 4 free hours of practice time and a tournament t-shirt!

Tournament Rules:

1. A song is picked by a player (determined by coin flip) and played via face-off by both players on the difficulty level most appropriate for each players ability (pro face-off will be used for equal skilled players). If you are found to be playing on a lower difficulty than your talents merit, you will be disqualified. The player with the highest point total at the end of the face-off is the winner of the first leg. Each player changes guitars / sides.

2. The other participant then selects a song and both players play as above. The player with the highest point total is the winner of the second leg.

3. If either player wins both face-offs then the round is over. If each player wins one leg, then the tournament officials will select a tiebreak song and the player with the highest overall point total at the end of that song is the winner of the bracket.

If any player leaves or misses their assigned match, the match is then forfeited.

Tournament officials will unlock all songs/features before play and disconnect from XBOX Live. No other codes may not be used by any players during competition and ‘Freebird’ can only be used in the championship rounds (the final 10 brackets).Tournament seeding will be determined at random by the tournament organizers after registration has closed. Guitar controllers are available for use at the tournament. Abuse of any of the equipment and/or cheating of any kind will result in your disqualification from the Tournament without refund.

The Point of this Tournament is to have FUN and yes, to possibly win some cash! Any participants or spectator causing problems may be disqualified and asked to leave. Top bracket winner receives the $500 cash prize - other prizes will be awarded for various other scores, play styles, etc. at the discretion of the tournament organizers and/or judges.

ULX recognizes the standards established by the Entertainment Software Rating Board for videogames and thus the tournament is restricted to competitors 13 years of age or older. Competitors under the age of 13 must have a parent or legal guardian present at registration and while competing. Tournament Rules and Prizes are subject to change based on the number of tournament participants, time constraints, and any other conditions that Tournament staff recognizes as revision-worthy. Participation in this and any competition is at your own risk; participation does not guarantee compensation of any kind (except prize-winners); participants may be photographed during events with or without notice, credit, or compensation.

Saturday August 11, 6 pm- 2 am (21 and up only!) at the San Diego Sports Club at 1271 University Avenue.  (Yeah, the same one as seen in Maxim Magazine as one of the Top Ten Bars in the Country.  We’re that cool.)

No charge to enter the tournament!  You heard right, the price is NADA!  Yeah, it’s free, but hey man, it’s a charity event.  Leave some moolah at the door!  (We’re suggesting $10, but give what you can.)

Pre-register and guarantee yourself a spot.  Call Robert at 858.349.2793, email at robert@esmiinc.com, or send a message through http://www.myspace.com/operationsavesecondbase.

All times are approximate.  We’ll get to everything when we do, man.

Rules -

a)  Single elimination on a PS2; no Hyperspeed unless agreed-upon by both players.  Or unless we forget to change it back.  Or if we just want to watch you panic for our entertainment.

b)  NO Free Bird, Fall of Pangea, War Pigs or any other ridiculously long song (until Finals).  We have things to do, man.

c)  No Red Lottery, or Yes We Can.  Dude, I’d rather stab my ear with a pencil than have to listen to those songs ever again.  Feel free to nominate other songs for elimination!

d)  Early Rounds - Easy from the first two sets, Medium from the second two sets, Hard and Expert by draw from remaining sets and bonus songs.

e)  Finals - Best of three.  Each player picks a song; ties are broken by songs chosen by event organizer.

f)  Contestants may use their own controller.  All controllers must be functionally unmodified.  That is, no cheating…c’mon, it’s just a game.

g)  Prizes are awarded to the winner of EACH level.  Special prize for Best Girl Rocker and best “style” (as determined by event organizer)!  And, WE decide what’s “special”.

h)  Event organizer, at his discretion, may bump a player up or down a level, based upon their playing ability.  Yeah, that’s right, no sandbagging.

i)  If you pre-registered and don’t show up by the time we’re ready to start, we reserve the right to kick your lazy butt to the curb and give your spot to someone else.

j)  Event organizer, at his discretion, may make up any other rules, if not just to keep himself entertained.

k)  Oh yeah…simply being at the event gives us the permission to take pictures and stuff.  So, if you’re planning to run for President, don’t do anything stupid.  But, if you’re not…feel free to be an idiot!
