I'm am pleased to announce the NEPA Gaming Convention 2. Last year's event drew in about 200 people, and this year TGP has partnered up with the Mall at Steamtown. The Mall at Steamtown will be the hosting site for the event, giving us space in unused stores to as well as providing TVs for the event. TGP is also going to be promoting the tournament with Adult Swim commercials as well as spots in magazines. They're hoping that this will be huge. I hope so too.
I will post some preliminary info. Such as dates, times, games, etc. I won't post prices until we get them finalized.

List of Games for this also Tentative
Soul Calibur 3, Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, Naruto GNT 4, and special guest appearance from Killer Instinct
Other than SSBM (Which will use an MLG style format) the other fighters and shooters will seeded by region. In order to do this I'd like to request that people Pre-Register for games they'd like to compete in. It helps give us an idea of numbers as well as makes things a little easier for us. Just send info like Name, Handle, and Region to jaramilloj2@gmail.com You can pre-reg even if you're not 100% sure if you're showing up. Like I said, this just gives us an idea of what to expect and helps us out.
