(Mar. 18 - 20, 2010) 4th Annual A&G Ohio Battle of the Bands [Cincinatti]

[Squ34K]

With a past success of Rock Band tournaments at the convention A&G Ohio, National Qualifying Complimentary Breakfast have partnered with NGA Gaming
to bring you a mega CASH TOURNAMENT for you Rock Band fanatics.

The logistics are currently still in the final stages, and more information regarding on what exact day and time the tournament will be held on will be posted as soon as it is finalized within the coming weeks.

The final draft of the rules and costs are currently below, we are still throwing around the idea of PRO Drums being allowed, although there is some debate onto the balance of the tournament. As I said, any changes will be brought to your attention immediately.

For more information on A&G Ohio itself and badge prices, here is the convention's site: AandGOhio.com We hope to hear some input from you the players! This is, after all, a player's tournament (and a fantastic weekend of entertainment to boot)!
