Agreed. Tio is the best. We tried Tonamento at our last tournament because we heard it had some amazing features… Long story short, it was a disaster. Use Tio and NEVER go back.
Here’s the link to Alamo Gaming tourney on 5/21. If you can put update the front page with it, I’d appreciate it - http://shoryuken.com/f7/alamo-gaming-marvel-vs-capcom-3-ssf4-mortal-kombat-tournament-san-antonio-tx-5-21-a-272106/#post10575813
Also need it updated for 6/25-6/26 for the Southwest Championship - http://shoryuken.com/f7/southwest-championship-june-25-26th-%24500-ssf4-ae-%24500-mvc3-mk-halo-san-antonio-tx-271162/#post10530485
All tourney organizers:
Remember that we are having a TO meeting about the "UPPER’-Cut Circuit and expanding it, the night of May 7th of the UCC Championship. We have a lot of ideas and things to discuss with everyone and want your input!
Here is an early posting for the next Frisco Fights near Dallas Tx: Versus Net Play
If you can drop that on your front page, that would be great. June 19th, MVC3, MK, Tekken 6. Bonus pot for MK and MVC3.
In case you all haven’t seen this thread I recommend reading through it. Might be hard to find the quality posts and the posts from the people themselves in there. http://shoryuken.com/f2/i-cant-believe-what-i-just-saw-shady-tournament-stuff-272424/
Shit like that is wrong and at least the TO admits he was wrong in changing the final 8 bracket after it was set. It’s bs about the MvC3 team tournament as well. Mr. Wizard also posted that action was being taken being that it was an EVO Circuit tournament, so EVO is taking it rather seriously.
It’s up to us TO’s to make sure something like this never happens in our region.
Also bananaken is tearing that thread apart hard. I want him on my debate team :lol:

Yeah, I was reading that shit last night. It gives not only the scene a bad rep for outsources taking us seriously, but it hurts the integrity of ALL TOs who do their best and bust their ass running events. We don’t need to be questioned if we know how to do our job right. I do what I can to make people happy, but I don’t cater to ‘top players’. I’m hard, fair, and firm and will treat everyone as equal. If you’re playing in a match that is one thing, but if you’re out and not in the vicinity its another. I DON’T CARE if you don’t like a certain matchup.
I can go on, but I got work to do. No one is perfect, but damn… it sounds really shady and fixed.

Mr Wizard closed the thread and said later today they will announce what they decided to do with the matter. I’m curious as to what they came up with.
Rulings have been made (read this in cased you missed it on the front page)

I think all of our TO’s should keep up with what’s going on.
