Hello Fierce Tetris Competitors
by kmikeym
This is the email sent to our list of interested persons. Feel free to pass it on!
The 4th Annual Portland Open Tetris Tournament is planned for Saturday, July 31st at 12:00 noon. Jessica Roberts will be the hostess, offering the wonderful Borthwick Estates (3903 N Borthwick Avenue) for our gaming pleasure, and we'll be providing some food and drinks. We are asking that you make a small contribution to help defray the costs (like $5 or so).
Here is how it will go down. We will officially open at 11:00 am for Registration and Practice. At noon we will start qualifications for those that have not yet participated in the league (ie, last year) or want to attempt a higher score. We'll also start the Head to Head to competition at 12:30. The Head to Head will take priority, but we'll start the Doubles Tourney at 1:00, so both those will be going simultaneously.
Once those are finished, or close to wrapping up, possibly around 2:30, we'll start the NES High Score Championship. Now, the main event will be on a NES, the Head to Head will be on a SNES, and the Doubles Tourney will be on N64. (email me if you have any questions)
11:00 am - Doors Open For Registration and Practice
12:00 pm - Qualifications
12:30 pm - Head to Head Competition (SNES)
1:00 pm - Doubles Tourney (N64)
2:30 pm - The Main Event (NES)
Last year the event went from about noon to 5 pm, and while things will hopefully go smoother and faster, we urge you to plan on spending most of your day at the Tournament.
It would really help if you could send an email or fill out the Registration Form if you plan on attending (http://www.urbanhonking.com/POTT). And please pass this along to other Tetris Players!
