Tournament Promoters and venues to avoid!

So, PrimeTimeGamers apparently texted a group of people about his upcoming tournament in Lakewood, CA on the 22nd. These people, however, never gave him their number.

When several people asked him about how he got their number, he didn’t answer, and when pushed further, he deleted his own thread. http://shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=237218 (It’s gone now, obviously, but it was in the Tournaments and Events section.)

HOWEVER, I’ve been to one of his tournaments and had a very good time. I didn’t notice anything shady and it was well run.

I wouldn’t say to put him on the list but he’s somebody to watch.

You were hooked into The Matrix on that one. :slight_smile:

suddenly doubling all of the ranbats points for two weeks without warning except the first place player (who is the only one ahead of him in ranbat points). shaaaaaaaaaady.

This is actually like 2-3 weeks late but better late then ever.

Never go to a tournament with KOOPA1981 http://shoryuken.com/members/koopa1981/ involved. Ripped off players, wouldn’t give back money, didn’t give refunds, took brackets away during tournament, didn’t know shit, admitted to not knowing what to do, pretty much told us in our face that we weren’t gonna get the money he took back, let people with drugs in (seriously there was a spare room where his stuff was and his friends were back there smoking), etc this list goes on and on seriously.

Was more of a local tourny but for anyone who visits and if this guy tries anything again avoid him. He disappeared for awhile but recently has resurfaced trying to get back in with the community. He is blacklisted by the locals fyi. His resurfacing is the only reason why I decided to finally put this in here.

Post by Sinister-X, one of the members of the 2nd place team for the PZ SF4 SBO Qualifiers:

PZ at it again. I think it warrants some more looking into first but things don’t look good.

Gotcha. I added this information to the list.

To all those who are looking in here and going, “man, I want to run something but I don’t want to end up like these fools; what do I do?” – here’s your chance to know what’s up.

Option-Select.com - So you want to run a tournament?

T.T.F, hosted by UnprotectedSEX, his names cody, just putting it out there, dont bother coming from far away to attend any of his events, he won’t let you know his address, even if your in the area and pm him (as he says) on the day for the location, if your not well known in america or not his friend he will leave you standing, came from uk to san diego, looking for a tourney, he was well up for us to come fight but didnt bother contacting us/replying after that for his address

not worth your time

im a local and i just got into the scene of SF4 but they are having another tournament since they are on watch id thought id let u know
all the money is going to the winner "no Venue fee"

Thats not true. DFC SLayer did respond and Watts dropped it. You can even ask Watts.

Yeah. I took them off a long time ago…

oh hehe Sorry buddy =D

Haha it’s all good

aye my bad man if i let you hanging
if i remember i did pm you the address and sorry if i dont have texting or didnt have a cell phone during the time.
but if you wanna try and put me on blast on this thread
its not like im a huge venue we just play in my backyard, im not trying to scam anyone or take there money or anything, just i was either really busy with work, my family, or just wanst on srk atm
sorry

you have to understand that his tournaments are a one man show hosted in his house and its hard to be on top of srk pms the day of a tournament when everything he sets up is on his own.

you’re only one person and i, among all of san diego and a good amount of players from socal/la/oc can vouch that cody is a great tournament host. yes its tragic that you came from out of town and missed out but lets be honest you didn’t fly out to socal only to go to one tournament hosted at someone’s house.

No way, we had some dude come down from France a couple of times. Must of caught Cody on a bad week.

Just wanted to inform everyone of the sad news that Manny Camacho(Yes of GPX Gaming and the Gamme cancellation event) passed away this morning from Lung and Liver Cancer.

I hope you understand that most people here are indifferent to that cause of the way he behaved with the community.
I know its common tradition to usually talk only good stuff about people who pass away, but the truth is that this community can’t really forget what happened last year.

If you feel sorry about it, then I guess you could actually continue Many’s doing and try to bring Gamme to life.
Until then, I don’t think we should remove Gamme from this list. Not tryin to hate, but Im sure someone is gonna bring up the idea to take him off the list cause of that.
If there are tourneys in heaven, I’d tell them to review Many’s tourneys.

First and foremost…J.D go fuck yourself. That is the most douchebag heavy post I have read all year. Congratulations.

On a brighter note Manny DID NOT pass away. Some moron hacked into his FB, twitter, and myspace accounts and faked his death.

So J.D now you have the opportunity to contact Manny directly and tell his exactly how you feel. :rolleyes:
