Ok guys so here we go, Im planning a tournament (its still a ways from now) its going to be around late March early April in El Paso its games are going to be UMvC3,2012,KoF13, and SSMB/M the last two games are dependent on the amount of entries I get. I dont want to say where just yet until I have the venue secured 100%. Fees will be as follows $5 per game and $5 venue fee, if you register two weeks prior to the event the venue fee goes up $2 and at the door venue fee will be $10,The pot will be split 70/20/10. This way I can have everything organized and the brackets all done before the event happens so we can run it as smooth as possible. Like I said its still a ways to go until this happens but if I can start planning and preparing now we can have a good tournament. Also I will be streaming the event on Justin.tv and uploading all the top 4 (for now) to youtube. I think its about time we show people what the southwest has to offer. So I hope to see you all attending and putting your best foot forward, also Im very open to any suggestions/concerns you guys may have so let me know

Good shit Steve.

Slight error in the SF bracket. Garrett actually reset it in grand finals.

12

1st page get

13

What’s all this then?

14

I’m twelve years old and what’s this?

15

Are the games gonna be played on ps3?

16

it’ll be on xbox

17

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/xbox-360-to-ps3-usb-wired-controller-adapter-converter-100cm-cable-42000
found a sick deal on a converter to play on a wired 360

18

Converters lag so you have to make sure it’s a lagless one, Markman has a thread.

Wait I mean that converter is perfect and you never have to worry about lag so just grab that up. Your vega will be even scarier you won’t even know when your moves come out ,thats only assuming you actually know what your doing now.

19

If you wanna stay competitive I’d get the converter Ian has : http://etokki.com/Xtokki360

It’s a well proven converter sold by a guy who is very involved in the community. It might cost more but its lag free. I think it might be for ps2 but you can get a used ps pad for like 7 bucks at gamers anonymous

20

So zman was exposed?

Zal, what was the vote count for ranbats on having them on saturdays?
