Starting a sacramento offline scene. Bay area folks welcome as well as central valley

So last weekend I held an offline tournament and while we had a few flakes it was still a decent turnout and iit was a ton of fun.Ive been talking with s1lent and a few others who attended and we all seem to agree that this needs to happen on a regular/more organized basis so Im making this thread for a few reasons.To see the level of interest by members who are willing to attend. And to exchange ideas as to how we can improve to make it best as possible and to help it grow.

What I would like to do is weekly casuals with like a monthly tournament maybe a 2-3$ buy in to make it exciting do like a 70/20/10 payout or something.

So far weve been doing this at my house off hwy50 and Sunrise blvd in Sacramento. My house can comfortably host around 20-30 people utilizing both of my living rooms and garage.It would be a mix of ps3’s and xboxes to try an accomodate all players.I have a dual pdp fightstick setup for the 360 that the sticks and buttons have been upgraded.I plan on dual modding it so it will also work on ps3 as well.

Im gonna talk to a friend who rents out an office space for his band to use as a practice place.Its close to my house, empty, and would easily support 60+ players if it we ever get to that amount of interested players.All in the same center is a mini mart/liquor store, and a weinerschnitzel so food drinks and snacks etc are within walking distance.

Right now we have around 12-16 commited players of various skill levels.Im gonna make two lists one for interested people and one for people who are down to come to all the events(unless you have prior engagements.which is understandable) and people who will come to some.

All the time players.
