--Where--

UCC will be held at the American Airlines Training Conference Center in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX. There will be guest rooms available for $69.99 per night (note: they will only accommodate two people as they are smaller in size). There are single bed and double bed rooms. Be sure to mention that you are attending the 'UPPER'-Cut Championship video game tournament in order to get the room deal.

The main room has over 3500 square feet of space. There are other open areas as well for registration and sponsors that puts the available space over 5,500 square feet.

There is an onsite cafeteria with very reasonably priced fair, an onsite bar located just next to the outdoor pool. There are also other restaurants within a short distance from the venue.

--Rules--

Coming Soon but most rules are EVO standard anyway these days

Soul Calibur V

3 out of 5 rounds in all sets
60 second time limit in all sets
100% health and soul gauge

Viola Back-Throw Infinite banned; only one back-throw will be permitted in sequence. In addition to this, because of how hard it would be to enforce, back-throw into back-throw resets are also banned.

http://8wayrun.com/wiki/tournament-ruleset/

This is a bring your own controller event. Please bring your own controller/stick/converter to aide in the speed of the tournament.


--Second Chance Tournies--
First 8-16 (depending on size of original tourney) players knocked out of the singles tournaments get put in the Second Chance Tournaments for free. The prize will be a $25 BestBuy gift card. If 16 players show up, the winner has to beat a lot of people. If only 1 person shows up, that person still gets the gift card

--Throwback Tournies--
These are for those OG gamers that still hold onto their beloved games of the past. Look for titles like SF3:3SOE or ST. Games are subject to interest, so make your voice be heard.
