Alphin Town

Alphin Town refers to a pop-up beach town that lies just to the north of New York City. When the International Student Hero Tournament draws near, Alphin takes over Rye Town Park in New York so the audience members can gather. The state of New York temporarily lifts airspace and naval restrictions, allowing thousands of hot air balloons, blimps, and drones to fill the air while cruise ships fill the water. This traffic jam occurs all the way down to New York City, making it impossible for flights to travel in and out along the shore. As a result, participants need to take flights that go as far as Ithcona and travel by car, train, and bus for eight hours to get to Sports Island, the location where the tournament takes place.

Alphin Town contains locations like carnivals, tents, small thrill rides, and waste management facilities. Many people establish temporary shacks and tents near the beach because of the hot air balloon and blimp rental companies in Rye Town that offer spaces to let the audience hover over the event.
