CANCELLED Barrie Elite Challenge tournament! CANCELLED

Thanks, in the future we will be taking it into a heavier consideration when picking dates, but the venue has a business to run and has a very full calender. As I’ve stated before, not everyone has access to a means of traveling 2-3 hours for an event.

I do wish nothing but success to all who attend the other event and more than welcome anyone that wants to attend our event but by no means want people who have made prior plans to change them on our account.

Also we might be setting up an of tournament gathering as well and will extend an open invite to anyone interested. More details on that will be put up as they come together.

ahh still horrible date change since there another tourney and im going to be in Toronto for UFC, 23rd would of been good date

James Chen tweeted about us guys!

Twitter

Was around 5:30 today. If you have twitter please retweet so that we can spread the word :slight_smile:

you should definitely get involved in our scene :slight_smile: feel free to PM me to arrange a meet.

What consoles are all of these going to be played on?

starcraft 2 will be PC
SSF4 will be 360
MVC3 will be 360
BB:CS will be 360
pokemon will be DS

once again apologies go out to those that are inconvenienced by our date change, but we can’t try ot please and/or accommodate everyone… that’s just asking for another disaster. We also don’t expect everyone out there to attend every single tournament in existence and acknowledge that life sometimes gets in the way.

We won’t be terribly offended over people not being able to show up but we will be ecstatic over the ones that do end up appearing.

in the near future (jut after our apr. 30th event) we should be starting up our regular Saturday gatherings and extend an invite to anyone and everyone.

a pokemon tourney!?!?!?!?

Yes Pokemon will be there :slight_smile: The rules are in the OP. Most of them are standard tourney rules as stated by Smogon.

I had no idea pokemon was a tournament level game???

I always thought of it as a Fisher Price RPG.

Not that I know shit, but wouldn’t there be a pokemon that is the best? I.E. everyone should be using the same pokemon at lvl. 50 or 99 or w/e maximum, at which point it comes down to coin flips of who attacks first.

Either way it seems out of place at a fighting game tournament. Maybe Barrie has a large pokemon scene though.

Some pokemon are considered “Uber” and aren’t allowed in certain levels of play, and you can only have one of one type of pokemon on your team. Its surprisingly more competitive than even I thought at first if you read up on it.

its more of a gaming event to guage the overall level of gaming enthusiasim as a whole within the city, with a fighting game lean.

in the future i’ll be hosting more fps and rts events and will eventually split all the events to different days. foe now it’s all about fun dude.

Hey everyone, some unfortunate news:

This tournament was already looking not-so-great due to conflicts with the date, with other tournaments running in the area same day. The lack of attention from out of town led us to think about canceling.

Now we have some issues to deal with with our venue and its operator, which is essentially the straw that broke the camel’s back. This tournament will be being postponed indefinately, when we have a more proper, stable, venue, and when we can work out a good date with the nearby communities as well.

Our track record may not look so great right now, but dont count us out.

Fight on
