Lodi Norcal Throwdown is throwing a Smash brothers brawl tournament!10/24/10 Lodi,CA

THE LODI NORCAL DOWNTOWN THROWDOWN PRESENTS BRAWL #1

So we in Lodi have sucessfully thrown 3 great Street Fighter tournaments with the last one bringing in 44 participants for SSFIV and 9 for TvC! We are proud to announce that we are adding SSBB to the line up and are looking to get a much larger venue. In order to do that we need to run more great fighting games. Smash is a great game with a great community. The SSBB tournament will be held on October 24th on Sunday. The tournament will be for CASH PRIZES and the pot will be split up 70%, 20%, 10%. The entry fee will be 10 dollars 2 of which will go towards future tournaments. The rules of the tournament will be standard MLG tournaments. The ultimate goal is to get enough of a player base to run brawl in a hall in November with SSFIV, CVS2, MVC2, 3rd Strike, Tekken, and TVC. So please spread the word and get HYPE!

There will be a poll to see if there is a demand for a side team tournament. If the demand is met the entry for the team tournament will be $5 per member (2 members per team) and the house will take a $2 cut. I will be posting this on ALLISBRAWL.COM as well so lets get hype and get our Brawl on!

The address for the Venue is.

Lodi Comic Grapevine
9 West Pine St
Lodi Ca
95240
And will be provided by Alan Chan.

The tournament will be played on 4 Crt Setups. We can provide standard Cube controllers/wave birds and classic controllers, but you will be able to bring any of your own controllers (which we strongly encourage). There will be a losers and winners bracket, double elimination. Enrollment starts at 11am and ends at 3:00pm. The tournament starts at 3:00pm to give players time to relax have casuals and eat lunch.
Parking is free.

For any other questions contact.

We had 44 participants for a SSIV tournament. For an idea of what the prizes looked like:Top three for SSFIV are Jitters (RUFUS) with $247, 200 Yen (Sagat,Dictator) $71, Mike Chow (Able) $36. So lets show the SSFIV players how hype Brawl can get!

Here is a link to the MLG rulings, only changes is we will allow wavebirds unless there are objections.

I wanted to post the rules for the upcoming tournament. If for any reason there is any concern about the rules please let me know so we can work with you the community. Thanks! Im not sure how I feel about some of the lvls. Aka Brinstar and such so I will be testing out the levels for competitive play and may not include them for our tournament.

Please no Brawl I dont want to bash in brawl but can we do Melee instead? Can we get a vote?

Sure if enough people post for melee ill change it but its gotta happen fast! Ive got like 8 threads in differnt sites. Gotta get this built up for the big tournament in November for the multi game tournament in the bigger venue
.

No Disrespect its just Ive learned through the years That Most people Prefer Melee to Brawl. Or we can have both coexist in harmony somehow but Good luck because its like… ehh lol but Im down for TVC = )

keep brawl cause 5 of my friends will go to this and thats all they play

a lot of ppl in modesto still play melee but thats all i know i think a lot of ppl stopped playing that shit

also will there be any ssf4/tvc/cvs2 setups or side tourneys?

If thats all they play thats sad Brawl is a child level difficulty game. If we do brawl we will get 40+ Johhny Doughnuts who think they are good cause they can Counter with marth or spam Metanknight. I rather watch Melee fights then Brawl TBH.

Well I think brawl is where the player base is thats the only problem. Anyway we can have casual set ups for SSFIV and TVC but no tournament. The big one is going to be SSFIV/Brawl/TvC/MVC2/SVC2 + teams for SSFIV and Brawl but that wont be till November when the bi monthly SSFIV would be held. This Brawl tournament is to get a base started so we can afford to pay for a bigger venue. So Brawl will be a promotion for the SSBB players to come to the BIG 1. Im gonna need to make a post to see if I should do it after/before NCR, or just postpone the tournament till a later date but we want to keep the Bi Monthly theme. So if anyone has input let me know.
