Halo, one of the most legendary and popular console multiplayer games of all time, is also one of the most competitive. In that tradition, Game Junkie in Cincinnati, Ohio is hosting a Spring Doubles championship for all those wanting to earn mad prizes and mad bragging rights! Here is the information:

Date: Saturday, May 1st, 2004
Time: The tournament will start at 1:00 PM. Registration ends promptly at 12:30 PM so that we can set up the brackets for the tournament and get it going as quickly as possible.

Location: Game Junkie, the Midwest's largest specialty video game store @ 7132 Cincinnati-Dayton Road, West Chester OH 45069.

Directions: The easiest way to get to our store is to take I-75 in Southern Ohio (either direction) to Exit #24, State Route 129 (Hamilton), and exit there. About a half mile later, exit onto Cin-Day Road, make a left off the exit, go under the highway bridge, and Game Junkie is in the strip mall on your left at the traffic light. There is plenty of parking just outside the store, but get there early to secure a good spot (our store opens at 11 AM)

Entry Fee: We recommend that all teams interested in coming to our tournament pre-register to guarantee their spot in our tournament. The entry fee for this is $20 per team, and you can pre-register anytime up until Wednesday, April 28th @ 9 PM EDT. Pre-registrations can be done by coming into the store or with a credit card over the phone @ 513-777-5740. After that point, the entry fee is $30. If you choose to register for the tournament at our Friday Night Live party the night before the tournament, your team can enter for $25.

Prizes: You bring Master Chief, we'll bring prizes! We are offering a guaranteed minimum prize of $100 for the winning team, and $200 in total cash and prizes. The more teams we get though, the bigger the prizes get, and we expect these numbers to grow ... a lot!

Rules: The exact rules of the tournament are yet to be determined, and will depend on how many entrants that we have. If you have a rules suggestion, please feel free to post it here.

That is about it for the main stuff ... here is some extra information you may find useful:

* If you are coming from out of town, we would love to see you at our Friday Night Live party the night before the tournament! It costs $10 to attend, and you get a free energy or soft drink (and this week, a free piece of pizza!) for attending. We'll have Soul Calibur 2 hooked up for practice matches, Super Smash Brothers Melee, DDR, and a bevy of other games to play. It's the best video game party in town, and a great chance to hone your skills for Saturday!

* Hotels are available within 3 miles of the game store if you are planning to spend the night and check out all of the festivities at Game Junkie. Those locales are:

Holiday Inn Express @ 8545 Cincinnati-Dayton Road, West Chester OH 45069 @ [url]www.hiexpress.com[/url] or by phone at 513-755-3900. Their online rate is $72.21

Knights Inn @ 8367 Cincinnati-Dayton Road, West Chester OH 45069 @ [url]www.knightsinn.com[/url] or by phone at 513-777-4444. They have a nightly rate of $34.95.

Both of these rates are for single occupancy, but as I know from previous experience, that doesn't stop anyone.

Sometimes I wish I didn't live all the way up here in Canada.

Oh well.
