Top Shop of Asia 2011 - Singapore Qualifier

Top Shop of Asia 2011 - Singapore Qualifier

Date	Venue	Registration Time
November 19 (Saturday)	Active Game Collections	1330hrs - 1400hrs

Note: Late comers will not be entertained

Event Info:
This is a new concept from Konami which aims to increase exposures of shops under their distributorship and also allow for these shops to build a better relationship with their players. These shops would select players to represent them either through mini tournaments which they hold or through personal recommendation. These players would then gather together and playoff in a national qualifier where the winning player would represent Singapore as well as the shop that recommended him in a Top Shop of Asia Championship finals in Taiwan. Winning players for the Championship finals as well as the shops that recommended them would receive grand prizes.

Note: Please do not pester shop owners to recommend you as the slots have already been taken.
