After four and a half years of running Atlanta Bemani I'm officially stepping down and transferring the site to Drew's care. Please bear with us as we move everything over to his server this week.

Time: Registration and qualifiers at 3pm, tourney starts at 5pm
Place: Peachtree Cinema 8/Flippers Arcade
Norcross, GA

Machine: Supernova
Divisions: World Cup round-robin groups and single-elimination playoffs, Normal (up to 7 footers), Expert

See here for rules and more details.

The site is moving to a new server sometime this weekend. Please go here for details.

There have been some server hardware changes in recent weeks, and while upgrading we discovered a few issues. Some users may experience problems logging in to the forums until this is addressed. Sorry for the inconvenience, we'll take care of it as soon as possible.

Unfortunately it appears that Crazy Nickels, last bastion of any pre-MAX DDR and other Bemani goodness in the Atlanta area, has closed. This means that Psyton's tournament is cancelled. This also means that the last pre-MAX mix in the state is a lone 5th Mix in Augusta.

The arcade Bemani scene seems to be dying out in Georgia.

*** UPDATE: Cancelled due to Crazy Nickels closing ***
