man up and make this shit epic, that’s my vote.
raise price a little if you have to.
remove 3s exhibition to make more time for sf4!!!
I agree that capping the tournament is the worst possible option. I just threw it in there for completeness sake. Evo has always been a completely open tournament. No offense to the MLG but we are not the MLG. We are the ONLY tournament at this scale that has a completely open format and we’re keeping it that way.
The tournament not completing is not an issue. AZ’s points are well noted but we have complete control over our facilities.
Ooo, a challenge! I love a challenge! :lovin:
For the skeptics, Evo has successfully run 8 tournament games (in one event) with a combined player base of well over a 1000 in the past. The question is not at all IF we can do this, but what is the right trade off between time and tournament format. If enough players want a 24 hr lock in then there’s no question we can do it.
+1 Man up boys.
If they end up doing 1 match 3/5 setting, it needs to be consistent throughout imo not turn into 2/3 halfway through the tournament.
If we’re going to do this we need semi-accurate attendee numbers. Unforunately we usually get 80% of our signups in the last weeks before the deadline. I know you fellas like to procrastinate, but PLEASE let’s make this year the exception and everyone sign up soon. Tell your friends. Steal your mom’s credit card if you have to…just sign up.
K, thx, bye.
Man up, run tons of setups, and use some nice tourney software to automate the pools.
I know Neal and JV from AllisBrawl have been talking to Evo staff, maybe can use their TIO software? They run some pretty huge smash brothers tourneys on that format.
1k+ at Evo for 4 would be too godlike, no matter what has to happen. Stay at the Evo hotel, cause if your pool is 5AM you can go to bed and knock out for a couple hours.
who cares about SF4, MvC2 might have over 1000!!!
just kidding
Quick question, since I’m about to register (and this thread is getting traffic so I’ll probably get a quick response) - if I register now (sf4 obviously), can I add more games at a later date?
Yes, but you have to do it manually by e-mailing the registration administrator. We recommend you don’t register until you’ve decided on what games you plan to play.
I’d volunteer to run the night shift. Let’s man up!
Man, I just know how hard it is to call names and wait for people when they are frolicking around Vegas and or playing other games. It’s such a nightmare to run I couldn;t even imagine 1000 people, though it is almost likely there will be numbers close to this.
I want to go but I have to see what my options are. Match marathon because SFIV is serious.
Hahah, there are going to be shady-looking hustlers roaming around the pools area all night, wearing trenchcoats lined with RedBulls and selling them to burnt-out players for $6 a pop. Get rich quick IMO.
now is this the highest amount of setups you guys can provide yourselves or the highest amount of setups that you can accomodate given the venue size? Like say if you were able to obtain 20 or so more ps3’s or tvs from people willing to donate, would you have enough resources and space to put up 20 more setups?
Hardcore all the way.
MAN UP
The venue size isnt the problem, it would be the tvs and ps3s.
How bout one game first to 4 rounds, no character change
That way the counterpick strategy wont work and we would save precious precious time wasted in the select screen between matches
oh and BTW
just like last year
I volunteer to run pools
I can bring my PS3 and TV if you’d like me too. :wgrin:
+1 vote for man the fuck up.
This is EVO and VEGAS. If you’re in bed by midnight in vegas, you shouldn’t be there in the first place imo.
