Tetris: The Seattle Grandmasters
July 17th, 2009 @ 6pm

presented by Masterman Vending, Acme Bowl, Hard Drop, Tetris Concept, and Kevin Birrell not Henk Rogers or TTC

Location:
Acme Bowl
100 Andover Park West
Tukwila, WA 98188

Entry fee: $10 for the event. You may enter 1 or 2 tournaments for this flat fee.
This tournament will run on two games:


Tetris The Grandmaster 3: Terror Instinct
- Versus mode double-elimination bracket.
- Master? Easy? Shirase? (TBA) seeding.
Prizes: $25 + 100% of entry fees returned to players in prizes! Other potential prizes include gifts from our sponsor, Masterman Vending. They are arcade industry veterans with 30+ years of experience, so I'm sure something interesting will be dug up for a prize. Past examples have included arcade game marquees, rare posters, and even a god damn Racing Force cabinet.


Tetris DS
- 2 player Versus double-elimination bracket.
Seeding will be carried over from the TGM tournament, as the entry is combined into both. By entering one tournament, you have agreed to enter the other as well.
Prizes: $50 + 100% of entry fees returned to players in prizes! Other potential prizes are unknown yet, but we are actively looking for sponsors for this tournament.

[Digital]

Oh wow, it's already time? I can't wait to hear news about what will take place.

[Magnanimous]

Grr... I'm thirty minutes away from the Acme Bowl, but I've got way too much to do tomorrow night.

[KevinDDR]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!?! Blah. Trance will be there so he'll pound the crap out of everyone at Tetris DS. I'll take tons of pics. If any of you guys know anyone who might be even vaguely interested, tell them to come!

[Trance]

Meh, dealership kept my car for an extra day. They want me to pick it up at around 5-6. I'll see if I can still make it.

Maybe drive right down to Tukwila from BMW Bellevue. Long drive though. We'll see.

[KevinDDR]

It's okay. If you're a little late, the qualifiers will still be running. I'll PM you my number. Just call me if you're a little late and you're still gonna show.

[Digital]

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere but I'll post it anyway.

I also understand that they have other cameras for posting higher quality videos of individual matches. The stream is there so people that couldn't make it can feel like they are "there" to some extent.

Also, at time of writing, we have a ceiling view, haha. Myndzi is playing matches right now and I don't know where Kevin is, so no one is around to carry the laptop around the arcade, hehe.
