We usually don’t start until 8:30 or 9, so youre probably good.
Want to appreciate everyone for coming out - I’ll have the bracket and videos we took uploaded tomorrow. I apologize that it ran so late you guys - we will never start that late again (unless we only have like 8 people or something).
I’ll get everything out of Tio and post the full bracket tomorrow when I wake up.
Pretty happy to say that we had 23 entrants last night - great matches by all. The bracket was pretty rough all around: http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/6539/twarsweek6singles.gif

Working on the video uploads now, I think we got 10 or 11 of the matches recorded.
All of hte videos are up and I think they are properly labeled - the only one I’m not absolutely sure on is the Awesome Jones vs King/Mark Santos matches. Though I think I got it right.
Danny, you’re right on the naming of the matches. Awesome.
Good - you had some amazing matches last night AJones, I’m kind of glad I didn’t have to face your Dhalsim hah. Maybe next week.
I’m trying to figure out a point system for ranking - anyone have any experience in that? I have 6 weeks worth of brackets, I think we could get a decent ranking going other than my manual ranking of people between 1-5.
As usual, we need setups to run this thing and if you are able to bring a setup, I’d appreciate knowing in advance. I’m trying to think of a way that I can provide more than one setup without spending a ton of money. If anyone has a monitor they can bring it would allow me to run a 360 setup and a PC setup. Just let me know.
I’d bring a xbox but mine just red ringed…
I’m going to spend some more time trying to fix my red-ringed one again, I got my tools finally so all I need is some time to tear it apart.
Just wanted to make sure people are aware since I forgot to post about it - we won’t be doing money for 4th/5th/6th this week. We’ll see about a possible change in the future, but for now it will be 60/30/10 for 1st/2nd/3rd.
I will be recording more matches this week, I plan to have my camera setup on Mikehascookie’s setup throughout the night (for tourney matches only). Hoping to get some random matches, and finals so that people can check their stuff out.
Also, if we keep having such a great turnout - I may see if we can get some commentary going for those matches, but that’s not something I’ve got in the works just yet.
Final note for this post - if something about the way the tourney is run, or a decision that I have made bothers anyone, please just come talk to me. I know I’ve made a few mistakes running this thing so far, but it’s the first tourney I’ve ever really even been a part of other than just filling in a bracket at PAX or something. I am new to this and I’m sure I’ll make more mistakes than I already have - but I appreciate any insight/advice that people have and I can always use a little help keeping things organized.
8:30PM START TIME THIS WEEK AT THE LATEST - I may be able to fit people into the bracket that show up later, but I am not making any promises. I will be there at around 7:30PM and start taking names/etc - I will start building the bracket @ 8:15 or so, and I want the first matches to start @8:30PM.
I already have two setups confirmed, I would really appreciate a third and possibly a fourth if we can swing it. I really want us to get this thing organized and reliable as a great turnout and some great matches every week. Last weeks bracket was insane, and I hope tomorrow night’s will be even better.
Oh, and if anyone sees Tony, he left before I could give him his 5$ last week.
also sorry but no minors this go around. It caused a delay in starting TW’s and I really don’t want to have that be a recurring issue.
As stated before, I am trying to get something set up for Friday nights, I will keep you posted.
no more underage people fae made that clear last week so sorry for all those that underage and because of that tournwas team took forever to start
This.
And not just teams, we waited till like…9 for singles. Not coooool. Is there any way to request we leave the pool table open to like…use? I always wanna play but that fucking setup in the corner rapes any notion of practicing that game…aside from the table condition, that is.
Uh, I’d love to say we can DUggish, but that space is awesome for a setup or two. :\ And with the way the outlets in the place are, it doesn’t make sense to put setups on that table on the other side.
This.
Danny, I can bring a power strip if that will help the cause of opening the pool table.
onedeadamerican and I will be bringing an xbox setup tomorrow, Jodo, if you still need one.
It’s not just the power strip - that ocunter over there is awesome and fits two setups nicely while having an extension cord kind of tucked behind the jukebox and such. IF we move monitors and such over to the other side, you have the cord going through the whole lounge and a LOT more chance of someone tripping on it.
And, even if wedid move over there I don’t think you guys would really have room for the sticks.
What I can say is that the first two setups that show up we will setup on tables down near the big TV (along that left wall) - but 3rd and 4th setups will probably be planned for that counter. SO maybe you guys could get a game of pool in a bit earlier (before the tourney starts). Also, Once the tourney is over we can usually tear down a setup or two depending on how busy casuals are.
Me and 3 other peeps from portland will be there tomorrow get HYPE! Looking forward to some epic matches. Someone please just make sure we dont face each other first round lol.
Portland has plans to visit this, 1/23. I hope you have room.
It’s too bad about the pool table, I really love the game.
EDIT: Goddamnit!
Just let me make a note of it and I’ll try to make sure you guys aren’t hitting each other first round.
Are you guys really coming out this time. The only person that’s said they’d come up and actually came up was Jetay, this is applying most to Tekken (I think).
