We’re running three core competitions, each testing a different skill:

• 🥊 Fighting Game (Main Event) – Mortal Kombat / Street Fighter style
• 🏀 Arcade Basketball Shootout – most points, fastest buckets, clutch shooting
• 🏁 Mario Kart – chaotic, fast-paced racing

This mix gives you precision, reaction, and pure fun all in one tournament.

• Players will be placed into a bracket-style tournament
• Fighting Game = Main competition (double elimination)
• Arcade Basketball = high-score challenge format (quick rounds, most points wins)
• Mario Kart = secondary tournament to keep everyone engaged

👉 All games are designed to be quick and efficient, so no long waits and no slow matches.

Even if you’re eliminated from the main bracket, you’ll still be able to compete in the other challenges and stay involved.
