24 Hours to Go
.: 17 July 2009 :.
In a little over 24 hours from now, the doors of the » Glasshouse at UTS will open, and OHN8 will be underway. With » Street Fighter IV shaping up as the » largest OHN tournament ever, it's going to be a crazy weekend of non-stop fighting game action.
This is the final update for the OHN8 website. The » schedule is now locked-down, with a wide variety of » DIY tournaments and events complementing the » official line-up. Be sure to check the schedule so that you don't miss out on anything you want to play or watch during the weekend.
Please remember that last year the registration desk suffered from large queues for various reasons. While we've done all we can to speed things up, there's a very good chance we'll suffer the same problem if people don't follow the tips provided in the » Beginner's Guide to OHN8 thread. So please read through the first post, especially the parts about registration, and follow the instructions to help make life easier for everyone.
Good luck to all the competitors, and we look forward to seeing you at OHN8 at the Glasshouse, UTS Sydney on Sat 18th - Sun 19th of July.
