North Carolina Players LXII

Very nice. I like it. We will talk soon man.

as NC’s welcoming committee, it is my obligation to play you until i can beat you in a ft10. i think ive ran across you online a few times. youre pretty good. your friends list is full, though. where are you located and how long will you be here?

I guess I can come to that gathering on the 11th.

You cant have a cookout without liquor, BTW.

Hell’s yeah. Bring the liquor on man

A bit late but I wanted to say thanks and good stuff to everyone who made it out to State on Saturday. After seeing how many people were interested I think we can definitely run a couple more games (BB is a definite now, it had as many people as AE o_O). I’ll look up the events on the SRK calendar but I would like to have another one next month. I’ve posted the results in the event thread but I will post them here as well if you want me to.

I thought of a name for the cookout what do you guys think?

Mortal Kookout

Throw me your ideas for a name!

Super Ultimate Cookout 7: Fate of Two Buns | Hamburger Edition 2011 EX

hahahaha I love it!!!

Hmmm, if this remains to be the case at your next event I’ll consider making the drive for BB.

The problem was AE had under 10 people.

There was a good amount of people there (15-20ish?), and they all signed up for different games.

Thanks man. You used Gen’s pokes really well and I winced every time I ate MK–>Hands–>Super–>Ultra lol. Good shit.

Haha, I was using Gief only for awhile but I switched back to Ryu, I’ll be sure to pick him against you next time.

Thanks, I’ll make some room on my friends list if you wanna add me. I’m staying at UNC-CH and my family lives in Apex, so I can’t see me moving out of NC anytime soon.

I think the count was like 23-24.

Every game basically got 7 or 8 entrants it was kind of weird.

Sounds more like high stakes ranbats than a tournament.

Yeah, we finished everything at like 5:30 though, we had too many Tvs too because we were a bit paranoid we might get a good number of people that would just randomly show up.

Regardless of the turnout, I think it’s a great place to continue running tournaments at. If there’s another NC State tournament, I’d encourage people to support it. Plenty of CRT’s and a lot of breathing room as well.

Yea if you haven’t been there that place is more roomy than any other venue NC has lol. So comfortable and places to eat everywhere.

It was a little weird having so few people sign up for AE and Marvel but given the number of people that’s probably to be expected. I’m thinking that next time 3S will be a minor but we will plan on having a BB tourney regardless. We did have more TVs than we needed but I’m with Shinso on this that it was better to have too much than too little.

With the event schedule looking pretty full right now we have a limited selection for the next tournament date. I don’t think it would be the best idea to hold one as soon as Nov 5th, due to the timeframe and the fact that State plays UNC at home that day, so it looks like a choice between Dec 17th and Dec 31st. If neither of those are a good idea we will have to hold off until January. Im not sure of the club’s ability to rent the space out over Christmas break so that may also limit us, I’ll check into this more later this week.

I would like to ask how the players felt the timing of each game was handled. I don’t know how bad it was to have some entrants bouncing back and forth between games or if there was too much standing around waiting. It didn’t seem like too much to me but I was also behind the desk a lot.

ReSe is on the 10th and EZ is on the 17th of December.

Ok so if we want to have one more this year it would probably be on Dec 31st, which is kind of a bad date in my mind but November is pretty much full up except for the 5th.

Its fine, Captain Joe, you don’t have to run a tourney every single month lol if its too busy, it’s too busy. Next time I would definitely suggest having all the relevant games at the time like MK and tekken, you have plenty of time to run these if you start it on time and run 2 games at once. Run tekken and AE, then MK and marvel or BB, lil things like that can probably help. This one was weird cuz you had a few people entering multiple games and had to wait for them to finish a match, but when more people come, you can go on to the next 2 up to play then come back to them and keep the bracket moving.

I had fun though, and I do want to see that venue get more people in it since it really is a nice spot. Five CRT’s just sittin there, guys!
