isnt tekken playoffs this coming weekend? are they gonna play in the bar? whos interested in a sf4 singles tourney? what time does everyone attending want to start this?
I’ll be there at 7. Totally down for SF singles.
Yeah, I’ll get the bracket finished and started @ 8PM this time around, I think we will be able to slam it out relatively quickly. I really have no idea what is going on with TWars for Tekken, it’s been kind of strange.
there is tournament wars Josh. Tekken Playoffs.
We are going to need setups, and if we were trying to run a SFIV tournament AFTER the Tekken Playoffs, we’ll need to have sign ups done BEFORE Tekken gets underway, so that the bracket will be fully set up and ready to run once we get finished. If we get a good turnout for singles (20-30 ppl) I would really want to have 3 extra setups (total of 4).
If we can’t get 3 I’ll bring my TV (setup will be there already)
I’ll bring my 360 + monitor and my PC setup as well, so if someone can bring a TV/Monitor for my 360 that will make two setups. Can’t really count the big TV in the lounge for afterwords, though I could use it for running one beforehand.I have Jared’s powerstrip as well as mine
Also, if we do end up running two tournaments and there are people who enter both, we will try to make sure that there are no repeat matches on the bracket as much as possible.
I have some family thing going on saturday night. sorry…
No worries HSP, you’ve always helped us out whenever you could and we appreciate that. I guess I could bring an ugly ass computer CRT monitor if we ever get really desperate, but I don’t want to carry that business. Hah.
Danny, do you guys need a console or a TV? Because I can bring my PS3 / 1 TE if you want.
Well, at this point I would say we need a TV because I can bring my setup. And I think we will need some sticks donated for the cause for the evening. Last Singles we had a small issue with Sticks available for people to use (I know it’s bring your own stick, but an awful lot of people don’t). I’d appreciate anything you can bring to help get things going.
Right now all I have confirmed is:
My 2 setups (Don’t have a monitor for the second one, can use big TV in the lounge for before, but not afterwards)
Mike(hascookies), do you think you can bring your TV out again? It would help things out a lot.
more people need to volunteer to bring equipment.
some should bring monitors, some should bring systems, everyone should bring their own stick.
or maybe we can pool some money together (donations, or take some money from pot each week)
to buy some crt’s. (pawn shop or craigslist crt’s are cheap)
or, does anyone have a crt to donate?
and if someone could donate a long cord power strip that would be great too.
heya josh or jacob. is there any storage area that we could store a few crt’s?
I will bring my PS3 and 2 TEs. But no TV.
Since Frank wants to run the singles this week, does this mean no 8pm singles?
I’m not going to show up to 2 singles tournaments Danny because that just sounds like overkill. This way we can have a much bigger singles tourney and it will also allow all of the under 21 players to enter. So I put my vote on waiting until 10ish to show up at BW and to get set up for TW Tekken matches and SF4 singles tourney immediately after. All in favor? Or do people still wanna be there no later than 8pm for singles, then see what’s up after Tekken? Again, if there it is planned to have two singles tourneys, I’m only showing up to one.
The only concern with that is if we have enough time (or setups) to run a tournament after the Tekken Playoffs.
Due to how quickly tekken matches go it was decided after week 1 of the Tekken season to make the playoffs 2 out of 3 for them. So while I still believe that the matches will go faster than the SFIV matches I don’t know if we’d have enough time to run a 30+ man tournament in the allotted time I’m predicting (2 hours)
Now if we have like 4 or 5 setups that’s a whole different story.
I think only one tournament would be a wise idea. To make it work after the Tekken Playoffs we are going to have to:
Get everyone signed up for the tournament BEFORE we start the Tekken playoffs, and get the bracket set up, along with deciding on where ppl will play their matches at.
In short have everything organized so that once the last match of Tekken is over we jump right into SFIV and have matches going on all stations asap.
I don’t think this is a terrible idea, maybe we can do something a bit more casual/fun beforehand. I’ll show up @7:30PM to do at least casuals in the Lounge though.
How many people are planning on being there for a Tournament that will potentially start @ like 11-12PM? My only concern is that people won’t show up because it is too late.
It would be pretty lame if we plan on having the tourney after Tekken but for some reason en up not having enough time. Maybe like a random tourney or something goofy like that?
^It’d be a good way as a test tourney before the ranbat season starts…to see what’s a good layout setup wise and to see how long it may run. With 4 setups a good amount of space (like we have in the restaurant) and people looking for their next match and reporting rather than whoever has the brackets looking for people a tourney can be cranked out pretty quick.
Grr…double post
I’m not too concerned about table setups, we can put a setup on the big tv, and a tv/setup on the tables on either side of it. And then I am thinking the other booths for the other setups (near where we usually setup the laptop and such).
Frank, did you want to try and do Commentary for some of the Singles matches if we do do a tourney? Nothing too crazy, just random matches throughout and then like top 4 for sure or something? We would nee Jeff’s laptop for that aspect of it I think though, I don’t have mine setup for recording or anything.
Ok, so - please answer if you read the thread. Who is interested in a singles Tourney BEFORE Twars (8PMish start time) AND after (11-12 start time)? If you are only interested in one, will you be showing up for the tournament that will happen AFTER if we do not have one beforehand?
I’m interested
Before/After or Both?
