About this tournament and who we are:

 

After a 5 year hiatus we finally have the facilities to once again run large tournies and are resurrecting the annual tournament for our region: Rumble in the Tundra (For awhile we were not able to find a suitable venue after the first one was closed off, large enough to house a large quantity of players in, hence the dormancy). The aim here is to remind people that there can still be "large" regional tournaments that don’t need to take multiple days, won’t be hamstrung by numerous delays/inefficient management and that won’t gouge the players by costing a ton of money just to get in the door. This event is truly all about the players having a good time and seeking to highlight the fierce competition in our region!

 

This is how it’s going down and what you can expect:

 

- Pot bonuses worth traveling regionally for.

- Responsible and accountable tournament staff members.

- An extremely well organized and efficiently run bracket for each game.

- Brackets that WILL start on time and END on time.

- No hassles, 100% taken in from this event of the money goes right to the players.

- A large local playerbase to compete against.

- Space for everyone, no more cramping in small venues. (Food/Drink options are available on premises)

 

5 Years ago we had a huge turnout at RitT 3 despite almost no pre-hype, over 100 players showed up in an era before tourney populations exploded and players got sponsored often. We plan on an even better turnout this time, for what is sure to be an electric event! Please come out and enjoy yourself!

 

Interested in Sponsorship or Helping out?

We are providing all the pot bonuses, expenses and other fees out of our own pocket, because we enjoy our FGC and want to reward players willing to come out and support us. However, if you are interested in helping out or potentially sponsoring this or future events with us, we'd welcome any offers/assistance/inquiries! Please contact me through any medium that is convenient for you. We'd love to help out anyone that supports the FGC and sincerely appreciate any offers to help make this a more memorable event, no matter how small or trivial they may seem to you!

 

We're not a major... and aren't pretending to be one. With future increased support from surrounding areas, perhaps we can look to one day becoming one. But for now, we stick to calling this a large 1-day event and hope that is good enough to garner interest for players within 'extended day trip' range :P

 

Thanks for taking the time to read the above statements, and I hope to see many of you curious onlookers soon!

 

I'll leave you with an example of the hypeness brought during RitT3's SF4 grand finals:

Hey everyone, Pre-Registration for Rumble in the Tundra 4 is finally up!!

 

The website is kind of barebones at the moment, but the registration is working 100% and has instructions on how to add multiple game entries to your cart.
We will be putting up player lists as soon as we start receiving a good amount of pre-registrations, brackets will be posted on the day of the event. Pre-reg will be cut off on 9/15.

 

Other Updates for those who missed:

 

- Smash Bros. Project M has been added as a main event. Soulcalibur 5 has been demoted to a side tourney during the Friday Night pre-party. The interest from the Smash community was real, and no one event batted any eye at SC5 being a main event, so there you have it.

 

- Voting for Friday pre-party events is almost at a close, if you wanna see or propose a game to become a side tourney, please let us know! (here, via email, facebook, anywhere)
So far it looks like a lock for-
Windjammers (arcade)
Quiz and Dragons three-man team 1CC contest
SoulCalibur 5
Injustice GAU
Smash Bros Melee
Mario Party 5 or 7
Mario Kart 8
Raskulls
Breaker’s Revenge.. and other mystery FGs!

 

All Friday events will be can be signed up for on the day of the event. Times/Details will be posted a few weeks before Rumble happens.
