Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I only payed $5 for the venue fee last time and now this time around it's $15 for the venue? What gives? A: Exactly. What gives? We give. Last BOTB every paying entrant received 2 magazines, a gang of stickers, free canned soda, free bottled water, and 5 raffle tickets that gave the entrant the chance to win custom hand-painted fighting game artwork, tee shirts, hats, and jackets. You can bet your sweet gaming ass that there will be even more free goodies, drinks, raffles, and more..
Q: What system are we playing on? A: Xbox 360
Q: What is double elimination? A: Say you lose a 2 out of 3 match set against your opponent, this will knock you into the losers bracket. This means you still have 1 more chance at going undefeated in a 2 out of 3 match set throughout the rest of the tournament to win in the grand finals!
Q: What other sponsors will be at the event? A: Just wait and see ;)
Q: What will be raffled? A: Fighting game paraphernalia such as tee shirts, hats, 1-of-a-kind custom fighting game artwork, posters, and more. Can't spill the beans on all of the goodies!
Q: What is the tournament max cap per game? A: 32 players max per game
Q: What if want to compete in (this game) and (that game), may I? A: Yes you may, just make sure you check in frequently with the bracket runner of each game to see when it's your turn.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask away.
would you guys consider running marvel 3/5 throughout?
I was told by multiple players that the 3/5 Marvel rules that I used last time were "odd" and that it made the Marvel matches much longer than it should have been. I don't mind using 3/5 for Marvel if that's what the participants want.
yeah i don't know who these players you are talking about are, but 3/5 is pretty much the standard these days for umvc3 tournaments. 3/5 would be preferred if at all possible

No worries. I even talked to a few more Marvel players about this and they said 3/5 is the standard. 3/5 it is!
-The rules for UMVC3 are now 3/5 throughout. The new SRK won't let me update the OP due to the post having too many characters but I want to assure you guys that Marvel will be 3/5.
