Ladies and gentlemen, PowerUp 2012 is right around the corner. If you plan on attending please hop on the PU2012 group rate at the Hampton Inn as soon as possible, because in only 3 weeks the group rate will no longer be available! The rate will expire on March 21st, so please don't get stuck without a good rate on your hotel room for the weekend.

The official Twitter hash tag for PowerUp 2012 is #PowerUp2012

A university event in France already took PU2012 as their hash tag, wouldn't you know it. So we'll play nice and create a completely new one. Please use it when confirming your attendance on Twitter or discussing anything about PowerUp 2012!

I am honored to announce that PowerUp 2012 is working directly with Dream Cancel to provide t-shirts to top finishers and an as of yet unannounced mystery prize for 1st place in our KOFXIII tournament.

I'm excited to work with nilcam and see the KOF community continue to grow and expand.

I am extremely excited to finally announce that PowerUp is teaming with Focus Fire to provide our equipment for this year’s event. This is the last major upgrade to PU2012 that will address those four big issues we had last year:

[spoiler=PU2011 Problem & Solution]Problem: It’s cramped in here!

Solution: Arcade Legacy is moving to a new , larger venue.

Problem: I had to wait forever for my pools!

Solution: Pool scheduling, pool assignments, and personalized pool schedule.

Problem: I wanted more food options!

Solution: The new Arcade Legacy is in a mall, right next to the food court and the movie theater.

Problem: The setups weren’t that good and there weren’t enough!

Solution: Focus Fire!![/spoiler]

Focus Fire has been developing a fine reputation with the fighting game community, and PU2012 aims only to further that goal while providing the absolute best we can for our attendees.

See you all at the event!

Hello all,

I wanted to make the official PU2012 thread here on Dream Cancel and invite you all to attend this EVO 2012 Tournament Season event.

I hope KOFXIII has a strong showing at PU2012!

We also have a very cool KOFXIII exhibition in the works, so stay tuned for more information.

Online Pre-Registration is live! It will end at 12:00am, April 9, 2012.

PAYOUT
We are changing things up a bit with our payout scale. Big thanks to Keits for the work he did on the UFGT7 payout scale because it is the basis for the PU2012 scale.

Click Here to view the Payout Scale

And for those coming in 1st Place, never fear! The PowerUp Bonus Structure is here! At the 50-entrant level we'll begin taking $2 out of each tournament entrant's venue fee and putting it toward bonus money for 1st Place in that specific tournament. At and above 50, multiply the total entrants by 2 to get the bonus amount.

SCHEDULE
The following schedule is subject to updates once our Exhibitions are finalized. This is only one of the improvements being made at PU2012; big thanks to Keits for his excellent scheduling example from UFGT7.

I encourage all PU2012 participants to print a copy of the schedule for their use at the event. A compressed version of the schedule will be printed on the back of all registrant nametags.

Remember that walkups are welcome at PU2011!

24
Tomorrow is the last day to pre-reg for PU2011!

25
Only 5 days left to pre-reg!

26
10 days left to pre-reg, everybody! Don't get caught paying $30 in-person for venue fee when you can pay $20 online! Get to the PowerUp Store asap.

27
I was going to wait a bit longer, but I'd like to announce that we will still be accepting emergency registration at the venue. Mandatory pre-registration doesn't seem to be a very good motivator, and I'd rather not leave people out in the cold.

Prices are the same as they were: $30 for Venue Pass in person, $15 for Spectator Pass in person.

You will only have until 30 minutes before the start of a tournament to register for that tournament. Remember to take a look at the Final Schedule now posted at the bottom of the Event Details page. In person spectators may pay at any time during the event.

I would also like to mention a specific point to anyone who has ordered but not paid for their venue pass online. If you wait until you get to the venue to pay for your venue pass I will not honor the $20 rate; that rate is only for people who complete their order online before April 21st. You will know if you're payment has gone through because your handle/nickname will appear on the Pre-Registration Listing.

So I hope that spurs some people to pre-register and see their orders through to completion. I hope it also quells the fears of anyone who may have thought they would have to miss the event because at-the-door registration would be unavailable.

Remember that we want to put on a good show for all of you, and the biggest part of that is making sure your bracket's run smoothly and are seeded well. Pre-register now if you share that goal. Thanks : )

Only 16 days left to pre-register for the event!

Had the first conference with Sp00ky regarding the stream / game scheduling. The tentative schedule has received an overhaul. To see the current schedule and for any final revisions, go to the PowerUp 2011 Event Details page

Pre-Registration is now MANDATORY. We want to ensure a smoothly run event for everyone, and mandatory pre-reg will push us one step closer to that goal. If you do not pre-register you will not be allowed to compete in any official PU2011 tournaments.
