Hi, Frosty Faustings is coming up soon on January 2nd. Its Chicago’s biggest major tournament aside from MWC and last year we had a good turnout. Its a special event I run while I am back in the US since I live in Japan now. There will be some interesting Japanese prizes being raffled off and we will have players coming from all over the US.
Please sticky the event if you dont mind. Thank you.
Please sticky, we will be having 1k in cash prizes for SF4 and T6…ty again
2 month rule.
K got you sir…and a big happy new years to the SRK staff and members for doing good work for the community all the time!!
Hey can you sticky gvn winter brawl, please.
Do you have any *idea *how many people my mom had to sleep with to get that stickied?
Seriously though (directed at Mods, etc.), I believe that there should be some level of review of events for stickies. The 2 month rule is a great sweeping idea for most tournaments/events as it keeps some of the smaller, local-level events from running rampant. The rule, however, does not really do justice on the larger, major events. I do not want to say there is a difference between a tournament that cost someone a few grand to rent out of a venue (Been there, done that) to an event that costs $40,000 or more to put on… but the reality is that there is.
Sure, it is the promoters/event managers problem BUT there should definitely be a measurement/rule to at least review who/what the event is and if it should be sticked, etc. I would imagine the issue will be that there is some level of subjectivity to it but it is an option… (i.e., this tournament is a “major”, but this one is not, etc.)

Why don’t we have a group of people made up of individuals from different regions to come together and decide what gets stickied and what doesn’t and when.

Hi Alex or Javi,
Can you guys sticky this for me if possible: http://shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=239508
Thanks,

I know I’m like a year late posting this, but I don’t agree with this new system either.
As a tournament goer, not hoster, I liked being able to come here, and see the stickies for tournaments that start soon.
Small, and big.
I should have noticed this post earlier.
You do realize if we kept the old system, there would be pages of buried stickies.
The tournament scene has progressed to more majors and organizers spending their life savings in order to make the next one worth the investment.
How would you feel if your $10,000 (venue + prize distribution) tournament was buried by a local $5 RANBAT (no offense to RANBAT organizers)
It’s the TO’s responsibility to update their local (small or big) scene to get the word out, not the other way around.
Last,
There’s a feature in SRK homepage where you can see all upcoming tournaments in calendar format. Check it out.
PM’s sent to Alex

P.S. Valle I was trying to get ahold of you but the cell number I had for u has been disconnected. I’m going to PM you my number. I have a proposition for you.
Sup Chico,
Unfortunately we have the 2 month rule. So Sept 6 I’ll sticky it.
I may ask Javi to increase it by 3 months since tourneys are getting bigger and need more time to advertise.
Please do. 3 months
Hey guys can I get a sticky for my VA event in Sept? Til The Brackets Drop Va Major Its under two months.
Oops forgot about that rule. No prob, I appreciate it. Hope u make it down.

Hey everyone,
The 2 month rule still stands…
However, we will consider tournaments to be stickied earlier on a case by case basis.
Suggestion:
Detailed explanation/proven track record. (We know most of the ‘major’ candidates already.)
