The NorthWest Needs More Tournaments imo

MyNameIsPaullee · January 26, 2006, 6:53am

I was bringing 3-4 people up for Navid’s tourney! I’ll do the same next time too!

running tournaments aren’t toooo hard… like the brackets and cash etc
brackets can just be done by the people THERE

and cash… well most tournies don’t end at the same time… i dunno, it’s pretty gay with like… people playing multiple games and those who leave for food etc but yeah

and navid… lol i don’t understand how you could comment on how i think everything revolves around ME

i specifically said NOT to revolve things around me, so if i wasn’t gonna go to a tournament, STILL HAVE ONE

besides, jay and koost almost never make people go to tournaments, it’s always me. pffft rankings are stagnant… MY ARSE even though they are pretty stagnant

although i’d love to win some more tournies!

raishinken:

This is my portland area take… hate it or love it but i bet youll take it!!!

         Me and mendoza recently talked about doing something real big here for a portland tourney. we talking about doing more then the usual. Not just the usual 2 game stuff we are usually limited 2. But i run into a couple problems that im going 2 present and you can comment accordingly as you see fit, just don't get ignorent with it like Canadian pissing contest in the earlier statements.



        1. The organaztion: If im gonna run this thing and do it as big i see it. im gonna need some help. There is no fucking way im gonna run a multi game tourney by myself. Mendoza said he would be down 2 help but im gonna need more then just him. im gonna need people i can trust to hold shit down if problems were to arise!!!!!!!!!


        2. The Intrest: I need to know whats good with people in the area. what would be the best day/time to make this happen. so we can get as much people as possible for this joint. I can even get prizes and stuff to go along with the tourney but i need to know whats good with the people. Im gonna only put as much effort into a tourney that the people/players inspire me 2 do. There is no way im gonna put major effort into a less then 20 man tourney. you got me twisted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


       3. The players themselves: The major issue that was on mendoza's mind that everybody seems to have a problem with is people showing up on time for these damn tourneys. tournaments schedualed for 2:00 not starting untill 3:30 or 4:00 is just plain dumb. and its been that way because of past directors not wanting to be the guy that tells someone NO, show your ass up on time next time. But with me and mendoza " if don't know mendoza, he is the manager of the tilt " we could give a fuck if you like us or you don't. I live the farthest out of everybody that plays in portland and i still show up on time. I will turn people away after the time i set, and theres not gonna be shit thats gonna be done about it..... bet it. and for all those cats that keep putting there tokens in before or inbetween games........ see if i don't reset that shit...... test it and try.


       4. the arcade: i have heard alll the complaints about the sticks/ button problems with tilt and while the maybe few, it seems to get worse at tourney time. So what i suggest is that people play the day before and let me know whats wrong before the tourney starts...... then me and other qualifyed techs can fix whatever problems yall got before then. I know everyone has got there perfrence on how they want the sticks " buttons should just work " and ill do my best to accomodate everyone...



            Thats all i got for know, but please, if you do comment on this, please, know what the fuck you are talking about. otherwise don't waste my time or this space!!!

Good shti jetay. My main complaint (no matter how much I bitch about the stiff cvs 2 sticks and the random no blocking the 1p side) is definetly how late tourney’s start. I mean seriously What the fuck. if you say start at 2 I don’t wanna be hanging around till 4 waiting for the tourney to start and then not be done till 8 or 9 at night. I mean Tourney’s are fun. but unless there is big money on the line I got places to be after 9 on the weekends.

OH and any day works for me.

I ran a tourney once in which 3 people showed up… round robin that shit if you don’t have many, but don’t cancel something for people who DO show up. I’m in Bellingham for school, now, and subsequently could prolly make a weekend tourney given that I’m not overly busy with school.

lifetimeboy · February 18, 2006, 5:27am

Hell yeah if there is a tournie I’ll try to attend. I was going to go up north to B.C. but didn’t make it this that time, I’m going to try again however.

Loki told me he thinks people don’t care and that the scene is dead and thats why he isn’t running tournies anymore.

but yeah It would be nice to get some seattle tournies in for old times sake…

I call BS on that, his last tourney was packed and a lot of people including myself expressed interest that day in making it a monthly thing. I’m sure he had other reasons for not doing them anymore, not to mention not even reporting the results from the last one.

lifetimeboy · February 20, 2006, 2:29am

You might be right that what he said was BS, I am just passing on what I heard.

nah loki said that he has no room or money also if we started picking up after our messes during tourny at lokis that will hlp but there are good players of cvs2 and 3s still playing in seattle u jsut gotta get to them

XTG · February 21, 2006, 11:59am

not to mention a SSTenka scene starting up, NGBC players, and more than likely a KOFxi if Loki can make space in his pad for it…
