    Venue is at the basement of Game Focus, air con will be available and there will be more room for players as the games have been reduced to 4.

    Entry is still ?3 per day. Bring your own sticks, controllers and convertors. They are available to buy at Game Focus. 3rd Party PS2s are for hire at ?1 (you'll get it back when u return pad).

    Rules will be up on the Game Focus website. Here's just a snippet:

    Main goal is to win matches. Each match is recorded with the number of rounds noted down. 3 points for a win. 0 points for a lost. There is a win-streak cap of 10 matches. Players must have a "match card" in order to compete. Matches will not be marked if a player has not registered with a "match card". Players will need to bring their laminated Game Focus membership card. Those with no membership card will need to join up. There is no bonus points feature in this league tournament.

    At the end of September, we will calculate the final tables and offer a ?50 Game Focus voucher to spend in the store to the player in 1st place on each game. Runner-up prizes may follow for 2nd and 3rd place players if 50 or more ppl turn up every day. Basically, the more players we get into the venue every week, the more chance more players will receive prizes.

            Damn, that would be a shame. I was hoping to travel down for at least a couple before the end of the year.

              Any chance of an alternative venue in the future? Burger King for instance?

                Burger King one will be run by Dynamic League. Don't know whether that will start up again this year. We will just have to wait and see.

                  OFFICIAL NOTICE:

                  This Saturday 13th September 2003 is the last league tournament at Game Focus. As the league has brought many gamers, both pro and beginner, together, its a shame that we are to end this event.

                  Please come down and battle some top quality players in this grand finale. Be sure to pop in early to get some early wins and a chance to top the league tables. I'll try my best to complete the current league table for this Saturday.

                  I'll try and keep two VF4 machines and 2 SC2 machines in play. Space is very tight as work on opening the basement as an extension to the store has already begun. I can not promise extra machines due to space.

                  We'll be taking loads of pictures and placing them on the website. Be sure to look good for the camera.

                  Remember that the player in 1st position at the end of the league will win themselves a ?50 Game Focus voucher to spend in store. We have a vast selection of import games and accessories as well as novelty toys and films.

                  Game Focus League Tournament Finale
                  Starts at 12 Noon on Saturday 13th September 2003
                  Entry is ?3
                  Bring your own controllers and arcade sticks.
                  10 win streak cap rule
                  Bring your Game Focus membership cards.

                  Games on show:
                  Virtua Fighter 4 Evo
                  Soul Calibur 2
