Northwest Majors '09 - Saturday, August 22nd- Landmark Convention Center, Tacoma, WA

Goddamn, 4 teams is because of the time constraint come to me if you think you deserve to be on the wildcard team.

EDIT: NVM there are time constraints we’re doing it 4 team 5v5 RR

Can we switch characters during the event? Are you going to allow dupe characters?

But even then a 4 team 5v5 round robin tournament? That’s gonna take forever. The only way it could POSSIBLY work is if it was a 4 team 5v5 pokemon style tournament.

^Yeah with what Deezo said unless it’s pokemon style button checks alone are gonna take up hours. That shit at evo way annoying and I wasn’t even there I just had the nonsense talk of Arturo and Triforce who are experts and talking alot with very little substance.

are enough people even coming from BC to warrant a team…?

Things need to be kept simple.

Seattle vs. Portland.

I know Seattle still wants revenge for the ST 5v5 at the Random Select tournament in… December 2007? We haven’t had a proper 5v5 in ANYTHING since then. (I think?)

Washington has the bigger scene for sure and home court advantage this time, so Oregon is definitely the underdog. And I’ve seen how you guys cheer for your players, so I’d think there would be a LOT of hype in that room.

Seattle/Portland vs. Wild Card team… who cares? All that is is an opportunity to show team captains that they picked wrong…

I know the EVO 5v5 was great but having multiple teams just seems like trying too hard to emulate it. Let’s keep it simple.

Take out the words “Round Robin” and I think we this could have 4 teams easy. Also, this would need to start early in the day, because if it ran into the SF4 tournament which is going to have the most entries by far, matches would start to get held up and it would be a big problem.

Will cash being given to winners at the tournament or do we have to wait for a check?

LOL Cash…

OK this will be double elim 4 team with a random prize from my old collection going to the winners.

There will be at least 5 people form BC coming so thats not a problem

and I will choose Team Wild Card myself at the event from people I see there.

Round Robin will take a while as said so this will be double elimination.

You cannot switch characters and no dupe characters unl;ess you come to me first to explain that say portland needs 2 bisons because of lack of players or something.

Church.

furious you can use my TE if you want

Just registered.

Damn, this means Im going to have to practice BB too, since I just spent 10 bucks on that game. Damn!

Shit I kind of feel like if I register for Brawl singles it will eat my SF4 casuals time. Hmmmm what to do…

are they doing 2v2 brawl? If so I’ll be your partner hahaha luigi vs snake, what can they do…what can they do…

Edit: In regards to the 5v5, I think totem pole is better than pokemon style. Also how were captains selected?

yooooooo it’s kriangkrai buapetch not kirangkrai bupatch hahaha i forgive you brent haha

This will be hella gross.

Duggish will no longer be attending… :frowning:

I’m so broke ass right now I could barely do anything for my girlfriend’s bday…but managed to get my hands on 2 Seahawks tickets for Sat. So we’re going to that - as much as she is down with NWM, she deserves a real bday weekend then spending more money on my broke ass to play some games. Sorry guys, I’ll miss yall this weekend.

On the plus side of things, Ghrrk mah jerk is hooking it up with a TV, so I’ll be back in full unadultered shitty-giant-laggy-LG-tv-free form, so be on the lookout for a wild Duggish. :]

Sad to hear that duggish. I thought it would be funny if we were set to play each other at NWM. Oh well. Have fun this weekend! Go backup Seahawks!

I might be able to play on Saturday, probably not though. Are matches going to be recorded? Because if they are I would be down to do some color commentary for SF4, assuming I can’t play.

Sucks you wont be there dugg but it is all good. Let me know when you wanna pick up that TV!

Yeah Frank we are gonna run it totem pole style so people can actually plan out anchors and starts and such.

Captains were just quickly picked by me among those who I think are just easy choices for the job.
