Schedule seems fine with me. The only thing that worries me at this point is if we can cover the rent.
how long did it take the tournaments to run at the portland majors? Did they finish in that timeframe?
Ideally, we will have more televisions running then they did, so more matches going at once.
This is a quick list of things that I feel still need to get done for Northwest Majors. It is semi-prioritized.
Sorry it is so damn long.
Advertising- This is HUGE. We need to be constantly advertising all the time. Friends, family, anyone who you know who might be interested to come and participate in the tournament (the exception of course being shady people). We really need to get the word out. There are around 70 people who I know personally (including all of you) who would have real interest to come and compete. If you all tell one other person who only you know to come down, we can get an amazing turnout.
Meeting of Tournament Runners- If someone would like to step up and maybe take charge and be head tournament runner, then they could schedule a meeting with all of the other tournament runners and decide on whether or not the schedule needs to be changed, the rules they will follow for running the tourneys, do a refresher or a tutorial for all the people running brackets, and decide things like when to cut of late registrations.
Contacting Businesses and seeking sponsorships- I was sort of against this to start with because I didn’t want to just go around asking for handouts before we tried raising the money ourselves, but now I think it is a good way of establishing contacts in the community and making connections that could help us in the future. Once I get the letterhead made, we can start calling around to businesses and asking if we could meet with them to discuss the possibility of a sponsorship. If their is anyone who would volunteer to go with me when I meet with a few people, or anyone who feels comfortable going themselves, then by all means post up, and we can start to figure this out. It would be amazing if someone would like to help with this or take it on themselves.
Contacting all the People who offered to loan equipment- We need to get in contact with all of them and figure out when they are showing up, if we can get any stuff ahead of time, and then label all the equipment before the tournament so no ones stuff gets switched.
Questionaire- We need to make this up. It seems small but it could really come in handy for improving the next tournament. We should also try to get everyones email and ask for it on the questionaire so that we can email them all directly when we have the next tourney.
People to Help Julien Move his Egret Cabinet- He needs 3 people to volunteer to help move it (preferably the day before the tournament). I will volunteer to help so we only need 1 more person. Axel seemed alright with moving his.
Equipment-
- 360s- We have 2. If thats ok with VF players then its okay with me, but I think we should have more.
CVS2 Disks- We only have 1 which is loaded onto a PS2. If worse comes to worse, we will just use the dreamcast version, and people who wanted it on PS2 will just have to deal because of not bringing their own copies.
TV’s- We have 12 loaned. I would be happier with 16 and ideally we should have around 20 so we can have lots of set-ups for casual matches and still have plenty to run tournies.
We still need other stuff, but I have to go.
Not that I remember. CvS2 took more time than expected (of course, lol), and either 3rd strike or ggac went way over the time limit, too.
Did you want to use only legit copies of CvS2, Brent?
There were a few people who were saying that it was better to hold the CVS2 Tourney on PS2 because it was more arcade perfect, and then there were people saying that their was no difference. To be safe, I just thought we should hold it on PS2, but no one really seems to have any disks, so if we are short, we will just run it on DC. :xeye:
I meant did you want retail discs or not. =x
My PS2 is modded so I can use SwapMagic and I can play burns of the game. I’ve got a burned copy of it now (to practice for the tourny, haven’t played it in years otherwise and sold my retail disc ages ago). If you don’t mind a burn of the game, you can use my PS2 and burn of CvS2.
And yeah, as I recall the PS2 version is a better port than the DC version. Can’t recall what the exact details are though.
Something about Painting the Fence with A-Groove Bison. :rolleyes::arazz: I don’t care about burnt or legit copies. We are using TDC2 disks, so that isn’t an issue. If you could get us a few burnt copies to play, that would be amazing. As long as they play well, that would solve a big problem.
Sure, I can burn of copies to use. You got the systems to play them on?
If so, I can burn them this weekend and give it to you Tuesday or so. Just need to let me know how many you need. I don’t know if I’ll see you tomorrow before I go to work. I saw you today but only for 5 minutes after I told you about TvC, lol.
No difference whatsoever between DC and PS2 CVS2. Just speed (and very slight, on that note)
DC CvS2 has some slow down issues.
When? Are there just certain circustances which cause this? I trust you as an authority on the matter, but I’ve never seen them before, so I’m hoping you could explain.
well if your hoping for a tv i can support one if its a must…
I just need sumone to pick me up to get it there…
I’m pretty sure combos like that cause slowdown on DC…
I haven’t seen it cause slowdown on DC. I tried it out in training mode a few times. Hard as hell to do, but I didn’t notice slowdown.
Just for the sake of continuity and simplicity, it may be better to just mimic the evo set ups. 3S, GGAC, CVS2 will all be on ps2 already with widely accepted ports. Half our games and psx sticks will work on ps2 with no problems. The DC is sort of flaky as is and the other two games are next gen. I think we are good for now just sticking with the ps2.
Indeed. The only problem is the lack of discs for CVS2 at the moment. I’ve got a copy of Swap Magic, but that shit is NOT leaving my sight, so burned discs are gonna have to get booted up one at a time across __ number of PS2s.
I’ve got a Swap Magic as well so I can set them up quick if you need help.
lulz u spelt questionnaire wrong again pwnt
