Hi Guys, As announced last night on our social media, as well as our live tv broadcast on KGBmanTV, King of 94 III will be in Vancouver October 2018! As always, we wanted to give lots of lead time. Mikey is really excited about it and, of course, so am I. I thought I'd just take a bit of time to clear up a couple items and if you have any questions, fire away! Venue: So at this time we have a place we're working on but until it's 100% confirmed then I'll leave disclosing this for now. Date: We haven't picked a date yet. There's some factors that play into this (availability of the venue and Canucks home games.) The NHL releases their schedule in June. I'm hoping that the canucks have a home game on a friday or sunday night so that those travelling may want to attend. (The vegas trip was a lot of fun for this). It won't be on oct 6th as that is Thanksgiving day weekend in Canada. Price: I believe it was aqua that brought this up on discord. $94 for Vegas was much more expensive for Canadians due to price of the dollar. But this time it's in CAD, so it'll be about $15 cheaper for the guys travelling from the US if the dollar remains the around the same. I don't think we'll change the price because we just like the $94 entry fee. Leaning towards the $50-$50 range now. Mikey wants more buds there. Format: I don't think we'll see too much of change from last time (subject to time available, number of stations and number of competitors available of course). I thought the 6 games in the round robin worked well and the playoff round worked well also. What's new: Players eliminated from round robin will be put into their own tier playoffs to play for prize(s). So everyone will have a shot to win something after the round robin. What's new: 2v2 tournament: This will be either free or maybe $5 a head. Considering: Allowing players that played in King of 94 I or II to choose the opening group the want to play in. This would be done by a pre arranged draft system(ranking those players 01 through XX). Then the divisions would be filled out with all the remaining players, taking into consideration their skill level (if known). Ex. Sega: Aj gets first pick...chooses morning group A, Raph picks second and chooses afternoon group B, Ea picks 3rd...and so on. I thought this might be something that could add a bit of fun to it. (Instead of me just deciding the final groups). Where I'll need help: Systems and tvs. Mikey has some consoles and so do I, but we may need more. And Tvs will be my biggest challenge. I'm hoping the vancouver guys I know will be able to help on the TV situation. Love you guys.

That's pretty cool. I've never been to Vancouver but I've heard nothing but great things about that city. While this is a little bit of a hike, this will definitely be worth the trip. I already spoke to Hali and he pointed out something about dates that the group in the US may not be aware of. I was concerned it might be the first weekend of Oct (Columbus Day weekend for US), however, it's Thanksgiving weekend to our friends up north so that weekend is out. Hopefully that works for more buds. Can't wait to hear more details soon!

Thx Kingraph! Minnesota uniforms

Thanks for the props @kingraph, I know there were some hiccups, and you guys were really cool about it. I even had a bunch of help from players swapping systems from SNES and GENS to help move things along. Everyone cooperated really well. We won't be making that mistake again. I plan on doing a video recap of my thoughts, the good, the bad, and what we plan to do about it in the future.

When I find some time, I'd like to post the match-ups recorded on the streams for future reference. Also want to mention that I really like to look of Tom's stream, the retro design looks awesome.

Just now voted for TOR and MTL. Because I'm cheap and the exchange rate is rough these days. I suppose we could do an Olympics-style run-off vote at some point (city with fewest votes eliminated, re-vote, new last-place city eliminated, and so on until 1 city left)
