Houston #Riot Series

Make sure Japanese voices are on for the Korean versions. I don’t wanna hear Sol making dumb noises when I’m trying to concentrate :confused: :tdown:

yes that av is a great moment in tv history
tuan what time do u think it will start? irl =/

Everyone should REALLY try and get there early. I want to start at 7:30. Even though people always come late, this is not a good event to come late to. It’s gonna delay things longer than it should be.

Hmm…maybe, if you come after 7:30pm, you don’t get random prizes. HA!

I need time for a few things:

  • Gather entry fees
  • Assign numbers and make the round robin grid (this will be faster than regular tournament brackets)
  • Explain a couple of rules

TUAN FOR PRESIDENT!!! :bgrin: :clap:

best of 1 for the round robin section

Yes, I’ve been crunching numbers for two days. The turnout will be alot more than expected. I had initially figured in 15 Houstonians only w/o Austinites, due to short notice. But since Austin #reload players are hardcore, they’re coming!
So I believe my initial format must change.

23 people CONFIRMED

Calculations:
25 entrants
300 sets - 2/3 sets
4 stations = 48 sets/hr
AROUND 6hrs 15mins.

Solution:
1/1 sets throughout round robin, except for 1-3 placing playoffs.
CAL:
300 Sets = 1/1 sets
4 Stations = 120/hr (2min 1/1 matches)
300 / 120 = AROUND 2hr 30mins.
Compared to AROUND 6hr 15mins.

PROS:

  • SAVE TONS of time
  • More time for lots of casual

CONS:

  • 2 days before event change in format. Mainly affects out-of-towners because Houston is use to 1/1 matches.
  • Possibility of “1/1 results are random” comments.

I apologize for the change, but it MUST be done to save time. Hopefully this will not change anyone’s decision in coming, because its gonna be action-packed regardless. The main purpose of the #Riot series is to spark the #reload interest and keep the scene alive.

Feedback?

:party:

Someone teach me how to play and how to pick brotha Potemkin and I’ll be there. Awesome! Faust bag, here I come!

That’s understandable. The more people there will be the more time it’s gonna take so 1/1 would be much better.

Learn the awesomeness that is backdash invincibility. Then do his command grab! It is the sickness.

Or just bother David about him. >_>

Just ask David. Or watch a couple videos off of mIRC? I thought you had played before with your brother.

Tuan, the format sounds good. At least you still get to play a diverse group of people.

brotha potemkin!!!

Another update:

There have been many requests asking to start the tournament on time (7:30PM) and keep the matches constantly going.
Mainly because time is money at SG, and whenever other people are affecting your money, it causes tension and problems. I RECOMMEND an all day/evening pass. But the SG Fee is up to the individual.

There’s roughly 300 sets we have to get through, and the time calculations did not factor in having to find people for their matches. Please be near the #Reload stations most of the time.
Match disqualifications will be given out.

Sounds harsh, but that’s the only way to keep things running smoothly. Some major complaints at tournaments:
“Why is there nobody on the machine?”
“Where is XX and XX??!? Go find them!”
“MAN! This tournament is taking forever!!”

To somewhat avoid the chaos, there will be #Riot Staff running every station. They will be the ones calling out your names to come play and keeping track of the records. After a player’s entire set is done, the #Riot Staff will then transfer the results to the Main Round Robin grid.

==============================================

Sorry for the numerous updates.
I’m trying to work out every possible problem and grievance with the #Riot.
Keep the PMs, AIM msgs, etc coming!

:nunchuck:

Hey i think it’s great you guys are doin this. It’s good to see people get excited about gaming again. Seems like after Evo things slowed down a lot. I hope things turnout well. Dunno what else to say but…see you guys at the regional cuz i sure ain’t goin over there to play #r!!! MvC2 not 4 life, but 4 EVER!

Obviously David is awesome with Potemkin, but if you need some pointers and whatnot I’m pretty decent.

The total cost to play in this will run 12 dollars correct? 7 for an all day pass and 5 for the registration fee? And we can stay for casual afterwards I take it.

Oh, and sorry Houston dudes for us causing the tourny to be 1/1 sets. Several of the Austin crew decided to carpool at the last minute, which made it much easier for all of us to get there.

Yeah, unless you guys planning on getting there and practicing before 6 then it’ll be $10 for an all-day pass

1/1 sets aren’t too bad especially since we’ll have outta town competition… more money for houston peeps :badboy:

DarkChylde is correct. All day day and evening prices =
If you come before 6pm + #Riot = $17
If you come after 6pm + #Riot = $12
Remember, the SG Fees are solely up to the individual.

Quick note:
I bought some RANDOM prizes today. :lol:
If anyone has anything to contribute for Random prizes, please bring them.

Another update:
RC Button mapping WILL NOT BE allowed during #Riot.

hahah ur kidding? next thing ul say u cant play justis or kliff :slight_smile:
hey il just play my ex chars thnks
XD

Man, it was hella fun yesterday. Props to Taun, Genius, Alex & Logan for running everything. I’m so rusty it’s not even funny, but at least I didn’t have to wear the Faust Bag :woot: If anybody sees Jake around (Turtler perhaps?), give him those Faust bags :pleased:
Austin peeps: it was cool you guys could make it. See y’all at the regional.
