dunno, lol, but maybe DJcream has no idea what the word "ranbat" means, considering IT'S THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD THAT'S ON A FORUM FOR MELTY BLOOD. Is this a ranbat or not? Niggas need to make up their minds.
Well here's my take on this. Originally I was told by Qwerty and Starkill (the people who are runnin' the GG side of the tourney) to ask get MB on board for their "grand tournament". Since I'm younger than the both of them, I don't hold as much influence (gee, no surprise). As much as I told them that 1 weeks notice isn't the smartest thing in the world, they're still going to run with it. Since I can't seem to tell them what to do, I guess I'll just bend their rules a bit...
1) Registration from 12-4pm is bullshit. Knowing how people are, they'll just show up the last hour anyways so why waste time? I want people to register by 2pm so we can get this shit started.
2) 3v3 Teams is also retarded, unless we get like 24 heads to fill a bracket. I think it's smarter to just run 2v2s. In addition, I don't think these guys would know to give a ranbat points in team tourneys anyways...
3) Pot 60% / 20% / 10% sounds really suspicious to me. Unless they tell me where that last 10% is going (and if it benefits the MBAC side of things) then I'd refuse to give up that remaining 10%.
4) Single-elim for singles is stupid. We got all day to run double-elim brackets because MBAC doesn't take as long as lets say CvS2 or freakin' Smash Brawl. In addition, I'm sure we can get multiple laptop setups. As for teams, I'm not so sure about that. I may keep it at single elim unless numbers say otherwise.
Anyways, that's my opinion on the tournament. And for all who attend the MBAC side of the tournament, you all have my word that I will follow through on those 4 points. Once qwerty and them figure out that I decided to run shit a little differently, they might not invite me to run another tournament I really don't give a damn. As long as I get to run a tournament to sits well with the people who attend and with myself, I can sleep easy. After all, I'm thinkin' about transferin' to SJSU next year anyways so it's not like they're going to hold me back academically anyways.
