So we have talked to James and Steve and the UFS Pro Tour is approved!

As of now the only thing that was rejected was the bye at worlds (because even the national winners don't get bye's) as was explained to me. I personally think if top 8 at all nationals got a first round bye and the winners of the Pro Tour tournaments got a bye we would have about 30 players that may not have otherwise attended worlds that would them be more likely to go. Anyway...

We have created a myspace page for the events. We plan to have all large UFS events posted on this page including Regionals, so please help me to keep this up to date, by sending me information that I am lacking (please give me a few weeks to get it going before I get tons of e-mails on the site).

the page is on myspace at Universal Fighting System Pro Tour Circuit http://profile.myspace.com/496905199

I will keep you posted when I have more information to pass to you all.

Just added you as a friend on myspace.

I'm excited to see this approved, let's make this as great in real life and it sounds on paper.

Should this be sticked or anything

/bump.

Can I just say, CHUFFING WELL DONE MATE!!!! This is superb news!

BUmp Bump Bump, keep it ont he first page

dont forget to check out the first pro tour stop! (also a bump)

So is FFG going to be financially supporting this? Or are we more or less on our own?

Just goes to show you the power of simply talking to Hata or Horvath =)

I say people need to do some non-profit volunteering and advertise the game. Have pre-release events in actual arcades, and even go so far as to contact the local newspaper (hey, couldn't hurt).

Actual arcades don't exist up here, least where I am.

Oh yeah

/Bump

I believe by (APROVED) he means endorsed by FFG.

/bumpey

Approved and financially supported are two very VERY different things Tanner lol

Hey Tuesday,

I have been pretty busy getting this one set up but we do intend on doing on in the UK. I have limited connections there, but we plan to do one event each year there as of now. If you Steve or other people in charge there, please have them send me a message.
