Bookman’s Street Fighter IV Tournament
Posted by: | CommentsWe ran a Street Fighter IV tournament at the Bookman’s Entertainment Exchange in Phoenix on June 30th, 2009. The event was one of three held in Arizona that weekend, including Tucson and Mesa. Bookman’s celebrated its “Game Month” by holding these tournaments at the local stores with store prizes going to the top three winners. While we capped the event at 64 players we have closer to one hundred people come to enter with some surprising upsets in the brackets.
