This is a charity event held at the GR8bit Live! Charity Gaming Convention & Music Festival.

Proceeds go towards video game equipment for the children at the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital.

Read closely because some of the details are pretty non-standard for a FGC Tournament.

1. The tournament will be held across 2 venues. Preliminary Rounds will be at The Geek Group. Grand Finals will be on stage at The Pyramid Scheme, where a live band will be playing the Street Fighter soundtrack to your fight.
2. The Pyramid Scheme is 18+. If you are under 18, sorry!
3. Street Fighter V is the only game officially (side tournaments are welcome)
4. Since all the money is going to a great charity helping children, the winner will receive the actual prizes below instead of a cash payout.

Thanks

Thanks to GR8Bit Live! for letting us help with this great cause! Also a big thanks to The Geek Group for donating the venue fee also directly to the charity.

We will be running Street Fighter, Smash, and Amiibo tournaments for GR8BITLIVE on Saturday, July 11th.

A zero admission fee, day long, video game music concert/gaming convention. Donations at the door go toward the purchase of new gaming equipment for the kids at the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital.
July 11th, at DeVos Place in downtown Grand Rapids, MI. All ages with plenty to do, see, and hear. Join us for some good times and a great cause!

It’s a great cause, and they needed someone who doesn’t hate sick children to step in and cover for the guys who cancelled on a charity event at the last minute, so we’re doing it!

If there is anyone from the Smash community who could help out that would be amazing, since that’s not something we normally do, but we would like to make sure it’s done right! – Contact Us

Also anyone or any business interested in donating prizes – Contact Us
