[1 Sep 2012] OzHadou presents YSB14 (Sydney, NSW)

Run by Shane and Spencer from OzHadou.net (original post http://forum.ozhadou.net/index.php?topic=7686.0 ), post has been copied below. This one will run a bit differently to previous YSBs as it is the Finals of the 'ranbat' season, so the usual tournament schedule doesn't apply. But typically the VF tournament is run after 6pm with casuals running throughout the day.

Update - This event is a qualifier for the upcoming EB Expo!!! Details about the EB Expo Qualifiers have been added below



Hey guys,

Here are the details for the next event =]

Details
Date: Saturday 1st September, 2012
Time: 12pm - 11pm
Location: Bass Suite, Level 2, 99 York St Sydney NSW 2000
Entry Fee: $15

The doors open at 11.30am so we can start setting up. If you're bringing setups, it is recommended that you come at this time so you can set your stuff up as well. Also, if you plan on parking downstairs you will have more chance of getting a spot if you're early.

You are free to move about any setup you like playing various casual games, though in the interest of fairness and ensuring everyone gets games in, please restrict your casual matches to the best of three games, before swapping out with someone who is waiting. Winner stays on.

Bring Your Own Controller (BYOC)
To prepare for future major events like OHN and aligning ourselves with EVO, setups provided by OzHadou for casual and tournament play will not have any controllers (sticks/pads). If you want to play on these setups, you will need to plug in your stick or pad. There will be no spare controllers available. On the slight chance that people aren't using their stick or pad, you can ask them for permission to borrow it. Keep in mind they are allowed to refuse. Guilt tripping them will not be tolerated. Alternatively, if you have made arrangements beforehand with your friends to share sticks that's fine as well. Seriously though, save yourself the hassle and carry a back pack with a stick/pad in it.

OzHadou setups are all Xbox360. For those people who are bringing their own setups that use other consoles, sticks should be provided.

Tournaments
We will run the ranbat finals and then any fun tournaments during the day. If you have any suggestions please post!

How to Get Here
The venue has directions here: http://www.99onyork.com.au/YORK/client/GeneralContent/c_singleDynamicPage.jsp?pageName=How to Get Here. If you're catching public transport, get off at Town Hall Station or the Queen Victoria Building (QVB). When you arrive at 99 on York, head through the automatic doors on the left (not the ones that lead into the club) and take the lift to level 2. When you get out of the lifts, we are to the right.

Parking
The venue also offers parking. Details can be found here: http://www.99onyork.com.au/YORK/client/GeneralContent/c_singleDynamicPage.jsp?pageName=Car Parking. The parking entrance is located at 168 Clarence St Sydney NSW 2000. The rate is $20 non-members for the whole day. Please note: you will need to hand your keys to the car park manager. As mentioned before, you will probably need to get in early for parking as other rooms may also be booked.

There are other car parks around the area if you don't like the idea of handing them your keys and for cheaper too.

Thank you for all your support at these events so far, hope to see you there!

Great, thanks for posting this Chill! Also remember this is an EB EXPO qualifier, so the TOP 4 of VF will gain access to the competitive area of the expo and direct entry into the Top 16!

 

Oh wow, I didn't realise this was going on! Well if any Melbourne players end up coming down it would be great to meet up and play some matches.

 

Thumbs up to another solid event, got in lots of good games including plenty of tense/fun battles with you Myke!

Kientan is now officially my YSB nemesis. Beaten for 2nd again and 2-0'd no less, gotta break that drought!

Now to weigh up buying an Xbox just to play more VF online...

 

Great news that you guys are going well. The Melbourne scene is strong so we can't wait to face you at EB Expo - and for our traditionally biggest VF5 event in Australia, BAM! Sep 29-30
