Hi, my name is Glenn and I lead Get Your Tournament. Not only do I like long walks on beaches, oranges and the San Francisco Giants, I love going to tournaments and watching all the action. I hope you enjoy all the interviews and updates. Go here if you want to ask a question about this site or life in general.
If you're into Street Fighter art and you're in Seattle, there's the Bloody-Knuckles gallery at the Theatre Off Jackson. The gallery has been open since Feb. 2, but there will be a tournament scheduled for Sunday at 6 p.m. to close things out.
Several visual and film artists have been a part of the exhibit. There is likely to be a showing of the fighting game documentary "I Got Next" during Sunday's event.
There will be tournaments for Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6 and BlazBlue Continum Shift. Each event is $5 to enter. There's a $5 entry fee as well.
In addition, the Tournament Wars season finale is scheduled to take place with the following matches:
Tekken 6 championship: Team Tapatio vs Rage of the Cosmos
Tekken 6 third-place match: Team Hope Kick vs Monkey D'
Street Fighter IV championship: Grand Masters vs TDP
Street Fighter IV third-place match: RESET DEMON!? vs Team BOSS
If you can't make it, there's a very good chance it will be broadcast online, so stay tuned for more.
Inspired by the competitive fighting game community in the Pacific Northwest, Bloody Knuckles explores the scene and its inspiration through traditional, digital, and fiber art mediums. Curated by Anne Blackburn and David desVoigne.
The Bloody Knuckles Gallery show will wrap up February 28 with the "Main Event", a day of fighting games and art. Tournaments for Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6, BlazBlue, MvC2 and others.
There's about 30 spots remaining for the Big City Bowl, the major Madden tournament scheduled to take place March 13 at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
The tournament will be capped at 128 players, with $3,000 in cash on the line. Go here to signup.
Registration is $60 before March 5, and $80 on the day of the tournament. There might be an opportunity for buybacks, and that would be $40 per chance if it happens; tournament organizers have said it will depend on how much time there is remaining in the competition.
It will be San Diego vs. Orange County in the main event of tonight's Wednesday Night Fights, being produced by the Level|Up group.
Yeb will take on Alex Valle in a 19-game series (first to 10) as part of the main event. There will also be prize giveaways, tutorial sessions and interviews. Also, check out some of the practice games players get in before this weekend's Level|Up tournament, to take place at The Block at Orange.
You can get more info on the Level|Up site and Shoryuken. It's scheduled to start sometime after 8:30 p.m.
Street Fighter 4 Wednesday Nights Fights is a place where friends, new comers, and veterans grind out the highest quality competition Southern California has to offer. Mentored by Street Fighter Legend Alex “CaliPower” Valle and venue by Daniel “SHGLBMX” Tam, WNF features tutorials, top player matches with commentary, and various viewer participation events via our Live Stream Broadcast @ http://www.justin.tv/leveluplive.
Also, earlier today the details for the Beat The Pro competition were revealed. Anyone that can beat Alex Valle in a three-game series wins $100, with as many as three players taking home the prize. Registration is $10 for the event, and only registered players can participate. Registration for this event closes at 6 p.m. Friday.
There are only a few more days till the big event and Beat-The-Pro details have been finalized. This Street Fighter 4 special event is open to EVERYONE attending the February 27th, SoCal Level|Up Tournament. So if you did not get a chance to enter the tournament, you can still compete with a top player! Before you can participate in BTP, you will need to RSVP* by going here, http://www.galaxy4gamers.com/levelup_tournament_BAP. Your RSVP puts your name on a participant list that will be randomly sorted and posted on our website and at the event.
East Coast Throwdown 2 is scheduled to be the first major event featuring Super Street Fighter IV, and signups are now open for the tournament. It's scheduled to take place May 22 and 23.
There are 11 games on the tournament roster, the biggest one obviously being Super Street Fighter IV. Registration is $10 for that game.
It has been 8 months since East Coast Throwdown happened. That weekend will live with Joe and myself forever. Since that weekend, people have been asking us nonstop when the next one would be. Well guys, it's here!
This tournament will once again be held in New Jersey, which we feel is a central location for the Northeast to gather. The venue will be the same as last year, in the same ballroom. We got a lot of feedback on the venue last year and the consensus was that people liked it a lot.

The guys at Super Turbo Podcast have released their fourth show. In this episode, they talk about the new characters that will be in Super Street Fighter IV. They also talk about their experiences playing with The Box Arena during a recent trip to San Diego.
Live On Three had a great audio show with the Level|Up group on Sunday. They discuss their upcoming tournament, scheduled to take place Saturday at The Block at Orange, as well as what they're planning for in the future. Head to djWHEAT's site for more.
VVV Gaming had their Losers Bracket podcast and shared their thoughts on the games that should be in the World Cyber Games 2010 series. Yes, they said Super Street Fighter IV and Tekken 6 should be the fighting games of choice, but they also break down the other categories.
UPDATE: Here's another one. It's the Wake Up Shoryuken podcast. They break down big time the new characters coming to Super Street Fighter IV. Also they have a few interviews with some of the community's veterans.
The allotment of passes for the MLG Doritos Combine are already sold out, less than 24 hours after going on sale. (UPDATE: MLG announced Wednesday morning that team passes had sold out within 2 hours of going on sale.)
The passes sold Tuesday were for those that were participating for both the 4-on-4 and free-for-all competitions. According to MLG, free-for-all-only passes will go on sale Wednesday at 4 p.m. PT.
With each new season, the competition gets more intense, the audience grows by leaps and bounds, and the league’s exposure reaches new heights. This incredible growth happens for two reasons: 1) because we have a phenomenal community that is dedicated to seeing its passion reach its full potential through MLG; and 2) because along with our partners, we are continually taking steps to broaden the horizons of competitive gaming.
One of our big steps this year, made possible by Doritos, is to create a new path for players to go pro with MLG. This is the Doritos MLG Pro-Gaming Combine. The Combine offers what so many of you have been asking for: a clear way for amateur players to shine and prove that they have what it takes to make it to the MLG Main Stage.
The tournament is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. There will only be one set of gatekeepers that players will have to go through: Gootecks and Keno.
By defeating one of the two gatekeepers, players will enter the bracket round, where they’ll continue to do battle until there are two remaining; the two finalists in the bracket round will earn spots to LA Riots III.
The two qualifiers will join Alex Valle, Shizza, Ken I, Kai, Justin Wong and Mike Ross for the main event, on March 6 in Los Angeles.
Keno was a gatekeeper in the previous LA Riots III qualifying tournament. He went 17-2 and won his final six matches with a perfect plus-24 round ratio.
This is our weekly contest here on the main Get Your Tournament site. It's fairly simple: caption the following picture in this entry and be entered into a drawing for a MadCatz TE keychain.
I'll set it up for you, and you go from there. You'll have until Friday to post a response. I'll pick the two best responses. Keep it clean.
Yeb is one of San Diego County's best Street Fighter IV players. The Gen user was one of the many that participated in West Coast Warzone. He's preparing for one of his latest matches, which is on the main stage and being streamed. Thus, this picture ...
What's Yeb thinking about as he prepares for his match? Best two captions win a MadCatz TE keychain.
I was hoping to have these interviews up earlier, but videos of the Sunroute Cup have consumed me since. In this episode of The Players Choice, I talk to Marn and ShadyK about their performances in Sunday's tournament. Marn finished second and ShadyK was third.
Marn talks about finishing second in the tournament, playing against Justin in the title match and connecting an improbable ultra against ShadyK. Meanwhile, ShadyK talks about going back and forth from Ryu to Akuma during the tournament.
