UFGT9: Guts (Road to EVO 2013) - Chicago, IL
« on: January 12, 2013, 10:09:38 PM »
Please visit http://ufgt.us/ for full information blog stream, registration and hotel/travel information.

Join us from May 24th to 26th of 2013 in Chicago, IL for the most inclusive tournament experience on the planet: Ultimate Fighting Game Tournament 9!  While the previous installments were huge successes, we still have changes in store UFGT9, including an all new venue.



New Venue: Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare -

Venue Features:

  • 15,300 sq/ft ballroom (up from a total of 6,000 sq/ft last year).  This massive space will give you all the room you need to game with your friends, compete in our tournaments, or relax in the fun and games area.
  • Welcome to Chicago.  Our venue is only one stop on the CTA Blue Line train from the O’Hare International Airport.  Getting to us has never been easier or cheaper.  If you are willing to walk a half mile from the CTA station to the hotel, it will only cost you $2.25 to ride the train.  Additionally, the Blue Line train leads right into the heart of Chicago proper.  If you want to be a tourist for a day or two, you are certain to love our new location.
  • Rooms are available at the special group rate of $79.99/night, only $10 more than in Northbrook.  UFGT remains one of the cheapest tournament events you can attend.
  • Parking will be completely free for any guest staying overnight for UFGT9, and will be discounted to $10/day for everyone else attending.
  • The Crowne will offer a cash concession booth where you can get reasonably priced food and drink.  No outside food or drink is allowed, but there are plenty of nearby places to eat just a short walk away.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments or tweet @KeitsSRK on twitter.  Or, visit our thread on SRK.

UFGT9 is less than 2 weeks away, but online registration closes in just 6 days. The last time to register online is midnight on Sunday, May 19th. Miss the deadline and you'll have to use emergency registration at the venue, which comes with a higher event fee and no seeding in any game. Don't let that happen to you. Go here to register now.

As always, you can find the most up-to-date information about UFGT9 on the tournament website.
