Why is a CO event posted? Well technically, they do border on OK
Seriously though:
- Soul Calibur Nationals will be held there
- Formerly SSBB Nationals, and now a huge pot, will be there
- This is an NVGA National event.
OKgamers, as one of the founding chapters of the NVGA, has always been backed by and worked with the NVGA. We went to this last year, and hopefully we'll have a strong showin this year as well.
SO - while I know several groups of gamers are planning on going to this - I'm now getting a thread up for it!

This event? Is like no other you'll see coming up. When you think of gamers really involved in OKgamers - you think of some of the best gamers around, as well as the more organized, etc. This is a showing of the best and brightest from 10 CHAPTERS, and various other areas. Not to mention I GET A LOT of info from the CO chapter, as we work together a lot, etc. So, if you want to see a well ran event - this is goin to be one (And we don't have to run it! YAY! lol).
In addition to the smoothness - this is ALSO where some of the SSBB players I went with last year saw "their maker" so to speak, and never played again
So, serious competition? Oh yea.
$$$$$There are THOUSANDS of dollars worth of bonus added to the various pots, and then prizes, etc - on top of that.
For Soul Calibur? Literally some of the best competition assembled
ever - will be there.
For Halo? Names from the MLG like Soviet, and Team Crossfire. Crossfire, the current champion of the NVGA as well.
Rock Band? AN AMAZING setup - videos -

If nothing else - I'll be flying out to this, because it'll be that big of deal. I seriously suggest you guys taking consideration - because from Fighter and tabletop to FPS - this is a big event, with everything from gaming to panels, and worthy of your time...
...also? CO is hosting because they won the most events last year. I won SC lol, but that was all for OK.
The NVGA chapter that wins the most competitions gets to host it the next year. Jus sayin
Oklahoma - let's represent. Make sure you pre-reg with the link above!
