Important Notes
This month at the Ranbat you'll be able to pre-register for BAM! Bring your $20 and your details and we'll sign you up and guarantee you a pre-printed pass for the weekend.

We're also introducing buy-ins for Street Fighter IV, an additional $2 will be required to play which will generate a prize pool for the winners, to be split 60/30/10 with the top 3 finalists. Good luck to all, the competition should be fierce!

As for the Ranbat venue, unfortunately as much as everyone loved the venue last month, after discussions with the owners, we're unable to get it again under the conditions we require, so we've had to resort back to the convent for the time being.
We'll continue to look for a more suitable venue in the meantime, but for this last month before BAM we're going back to the proven solution.

I'll be there with my new stick woo. I'll also bring my blazepro converter for 360+wired controller, so people can have a play\test, and to play\lend for xbox casuals.

It's all well and good, but how would I get there from say the Southern Cross Station?

[Zan]

Take a train on the epping line and get off at Victoria Station, it's a short walk from there.

Just 2 pools for SF4?

How did we go for the cash prize like 2 dollar per person?
