Please post if you intend on entering. I like to get a general headcount to get a better idea of what I’m handling.
Oh good it’s on Friday. I gotta go to the Journalism of Associated Community Colleges conferences on Saturday at San Jose State. I can squeeze some SFIV at their arcade during the sessions.
Oh yeah, I can bring my Xbox on that day as well as The City date. I have a VGA cable but currently I can’t bring my computer CRT. I will try though.
With stick issues and timing differences between consoles, we’re going to keep it strictly PS3. In emergency situations, we HAVE used 360s before, but they were used as a last resort. The gesture is appreciated, but you don’t have to bring your 360 or TV. If anything else comes up, I’ll let everyone know in the thread.
O shit this is back?nice prolly gona hit this up then head to scr after lol.shit is. Poppin again.ken likes
Updated first post with new entry fee information and long term pot. Read it carefully and start planning
Update once again. I’m shelving the long-term pot idea, as that seems like it’d be better suited for a biweekly tournament. However, I am raising the tournament entry fee to $10 to reflect the overall decreased frequency of tournaments in our area - $9 to pot, $1 to venue. My reasoning is that the decreased frequency justifies the higher entry fee. In actuality, winners will be earning more money, due to the fact that the venue fee will be considerably smaller by comparison (previously $5 to pot, $1 to venue). Keep in mind that I will be scouting out other venues to a run a biweekly, so if a $10 tournament is not your cup of tea, I’ll see what I can do about that. However, I will not run a biweekly if the demand isn’t there, which is where you come in.
Please let me know what you all think and I will take your feedback into consideration. With that being said, I’m 98% sure I’m going to make this tournament a $10 tournament. All the same, please let me know what you think regardless.
Please post.
