So Best Western has offered to give us the place on Friday’s for more tournaments. How do people feel about this? From what I was told, they’d close up the restaurant early so minor’s won’t have an issue in participating. The big issue that I see is lack of setup’s. So who’d be down to bring em? It might be possible to run it off the one if we can get everyone there right after matches are over. I’d like for top 8 to be on the big screen so everyone can watch.
Also with season 1 winding down here, I’d like some feedback for season 2. I’ve learned a lot from this past season and the final touches are in place to announce season 2. But let me get some feedback/suggestions/complaints etc. So I can apply the finishing touches.
Twars is a cool experience but more singles tourneys is definitely my opinion on what should happen more often…I like a ranbat/round robin twars idea…since to a point this truly isn’t a team game I think a season of singles tourneys then a top 8/16 final tourney for the “season finale” would be cool.
I think it would be cool to have a weekly singles tourney with a piece of each pot going to the “grand finale” and points ranbat style given out every week. Some people couldn’t make it everytime but over a decently long season a week or 3 would be come negligible if you couldn’t make it to them all. This would also be a good buffer kind of deal before a new team season for super starts. I think this would be good for people still looking to improve on their game and those who are waiting for super/not playing as much to just choose what week to show up…nothing where their certain matches are scheduled and they have to make a commitment. Plus a point ranking system would be good for motivation and competition.
Just my$0.02
(I’m willing to bring an xbox and a TE…also if there is a lack of TVs I could bring a 12in CRT w/ VCR haha its what I practice on and I promise there’s no lag just a tiny screen)
I was told Fridays or Sundays. I think Friday would be the best option, if the person that is working doesn’t like it…well they can take it up with Ian.
the other bartender wont do it. and theres nothing ian can do about it. she wont agree to staying later. were a union shop. this can get management into big trouble. and i know cheryl (the other bartender) wont hesitate to call the union. and she has her regulars, so you guys wont get any special treatment. her bar her call. and itll be up to her to run hot dogs, and shes told me they cant even pay her extra to want to do it. so, unless ians there on friday nights, it might not be a good idea. and if he has to be there til late, imma just put it out there, he has a wife and 2 daughters, you guys are probably gonna kill his time he can go out. hes the manager of 3 hotels, 3 front desks, a bar and a restaraunt. and now hes gonna have to bartend til late friday nights, cuz no one else is gonna do it.
I’d be down for this if we could start it at like 7PM. I would help run it even, though we do need people to commit to setups. And if we did this, I’m not entirely sure I would want to run it again on Saturday night, but we’ll see how it goes.
So can people bring their own non-alcoholic beverages on Fri. night? Drinking two days in a row is pretty irresponsible anyways. That way TW wouldn’t have to worry about the bar situation.
well, thats not even the case. i figured, that the reason its opened up to you guys on extra nights is because buisness is slow and were trying to get revenue. so, for people to come in and NOT drink, but still have a person on shift, would not be in the best interest of the company. and closing the kitchen /restaraunt early means my hours get cut and less sales in food and drinks (if people dont order drinks). so, if that goes down, ill be pretty fucking pissed.
pretty much theyre looking to just get more business in on any given day. a day for singles and a day for teams would be tight but most likely it cant run as long as tw does on saturdays. its not gonna work if nobody came to spend money, you can go to gw for that. i dont even know what we could do to make it an all ages event because the kitchens closed after 10 regardless so after you buy 1 soda then…thats pretty much all you can buy unless we get hotdogs and like chips and shit going
DISCUSS
oh yeah mike DONT BE WEAK! you know you can drink everyday stop lying hahahaha
Well Sunday’s will probably be a no go (ppl getting burned out after tournamentwars lol). If Ian is up to run it till we are finished then yeah let’s get it. We can always just run the tournament and then as players get knocked out make other set ups into casuals then wrap it up when it’s over. Enough set ups and we can start by 8-9 be out by midnight.
midnight wont do. if the bartender isnt making money, shell bounce early. and shes not staying past 1130 cuz of overtime. and people being burnt out? well, if you throw something on friday, wont they be burnt out for saturday? so that logic is flawed.
Teams is something people are commited to, where as singles is just an optional event. But I guess Friday’s just aren’t going to work out either. I’ll come up with something.
so the bartender is willing to stay open as long as there is business. she even told fae she would switch her shifts because she already knows us
this is open to any day, from 5-2am but business dictates the hours.
problem is what about the under 21 crowd? off the top of my head we have eman, ghrrk, bokkin and the terMORnator. since there is a 5 dollar minimum if you guys could come up with like 15 bucks between the 4 of you maybe we can start your matches around 9? ill ask and see if we can have the tourney at the back of the bar and not have drinks in that area so anyone under 21 can be there but ionno if that will work.
as to not take away from the hype/business of tw what if we did this once or twice a month like preppys?
this also doesnt have to be a tournament. any day is open to run casuals in any game with as many setups as you can squeeze in the bar. happy hour is pretty good there and its an alternative to gameworks.
the only problem i see is the under 21 crowd. if you could kick at least 5 in per person im sure we could work something out because as it stands the restaurant closes at 10 or earlier. but if you dont buy food the only thing you can contribute is 2.50 for a soda so your priority is about as much as a level 1 s groove super
So like once or twice a month a singles tournament in the back of the bar? To be honest I’d most likely get away just chillin in the bar as I have the past like 50 times I’ve been inside there, but I understand we dont wanna risk anyones rep. with this place so I’m cool with a 9pm tourny or something. If you can swing it ill do my best to come out and bring 3-5 bucks for entry or whatever. I almost always purchase a soda or dog or both every time I come out anyways, I know its not a ton but every bit they get makes them happier so yeah. I’m just doing my best to support. I need to actually win a tourny or something though so I can make some of that money back hahah
And aye, I recommend we keep it to NOT weekly tournaments, otherwise I can see small turnouts each week due to the fact that most people don’t play street fighter their entire weekend…once/twice a month lets people prepare then come out to rep.
Season 2 tekken 2/3 rounds, but that goes without saying. I say give fridays a shot. If it works out, great. If not oh well. Am I reading that right…brella’s is opening that side area to us during bar hours? If so, that is f’ing pimp. Being able to run a random early evening singles any day of the week is huge.
jacob said it already! so fridays can be good. ghhrrrk, fae and i always forget that youre under21 hahaha. it woudlnt hurt to come in early and grab some food fromt he restaraunt (try if you can to order before 930 please ;)) if you cant buy drinks/hot dogs arent started up yet. ill probably end up hookin eman and mor up with salad next time.
