Nine (or was it ten?) tournaments in a ranbat series is really kind of grueling. The disparity in points between the top spot and a spot as close as 3rd usually becomes insurmountable after the first 3-4 tournaments. By the fifth tournament, sometimes even the gap between first and second can’t be closed within another 4-5 tournaments. The top player is usually well established over 3-4 tournaments, so there’s no need to drag out the season over a well-decided race. In a shorter ranking battle season, races for the top spot can be much tighter, and allow for exciting and unexpected outcomes. Every tournament has some sense of meaning to the players, especially those in the close running for the points leader.
any chance of moving this back a week? There is a possibility that a few people may go to the power up tournament in ohio, which could slice attendance. Also, perhaps the weekend of the 22nd will be more favorable to others unable to attend the other date.
NOTICE: There has been changes in the lineup for this tournament, T6 has been removed and MvC2 has been added. Also this event is no longer a RanBat. RanBat Season 2 will begin late July but I will still have tournament in May and June.
so when you are saying that when the money was taken out of the entry fee for the ranbats and the staffing, or whatever that was, you’re saying that the money actually went to… who then? Because I seem to remember something about how out of 5 dollars per person, only 60% of it was paid out to the people who placed in the money at the one I actually went to. Are you saying it was really 80%? If not I can check with Bill and Lamar since I know they also paid into the ranbats at the first one according to the breakdown you put up the day of the event.
so what i’m asking is what happened to the money from the first one, i don’t think it was paid out that day because the entry fee structure wasn’t changed until the 2nd event was posted on srk and people said something about it
One dollar per person was siphoned to the “end pot” for ranbat season, so the most you are talking about is 30$ (Not totally sure how many showed at the first). But the ranbat season pot was scrapped along with the old payment structure. Joe said at a followup tournament that was the case, and no one raised any objections then.
When was the end pot money that was collected at the first ranbat paid out for tekken, then? At the 2nd ranbat? Because I know only enough bothered showing up at the 2nd ranbat to actually run a tournament for it, and after that not enough people were going to run that game.
