Omegathon! Tu Feb 23, 5:00pm, SLC MPR

The Omegathon is a tournament that involves a wide variety of different games, it is free to enter, and the winner gets a $50 gift certificate to Future Shop!

We will have many different games in the Multi-Purpose Room in the SLC at 5:00pm on Tuesday February 23rd, you can come and sign up then. The games will start at 5:30pm. You’ll play games against the other people who registered. If you win, you get points. The top players will advance until we end with one winner.

If you’re interested in coming to this event, please click this link to let us know. Having a rough estimate of how many people are coming is very useful.

Here is a partial list of games that you can look forward to playing:

Metroid Prime – Echoes
New Super Mario Bros Wii: Coin Mode
Star Fox Assault
Ikaruga
Donkey Konga 1 or 2
F-Zero GX
Mario Golf 64
Lumines
Trackmania
Kirby 64: Crystal Shards
Worms
Tomeno Sanner

The last man standing / fastest time / highest score in each game determines the winner in that event.

Format
We’ll start off with an open round where anyone may enter. Eventually we’ll move to round 2 where the top 16 players move on, then onto round 3 where the top 8 go. Points from rounds 1-3 are cumulative, so if you do well in the beginning you have more leeway towards the end.

Round 4 is only the top 4 people, and the top two in this round robin will advance. The finals will be a best 2 out of 3 of highly secret games known only by the Omegathon committee.

The planning topic on our forums is a good resource if you want to know more information.
