some stuff open for discussionanything and everything is open for discussion but there are things i want to talk about before putting it up there. not every tournament will be like this one if this becomes a regular thing. you may think of these as "ranbats" as once in a while, we should have a big tournament where the pot is increased (standard $5) and possibly double elimination. this event is aimed towards decreasing tournament time and increasing casual time w/ others outside of your local community.
tournament pressure and putting money on the line is important for stepping up your game but you often learn more from playing casuals. the pot may be increased to $2 in the future depending on the turnout.
just for those who didn't know, "ranbats" are "ranking battles" where you get points based on how high you place (you have to place top 8 to get points). these points will decide on how you will be seeded in future tournaments. getting seeded means you get an easier bracket.
also as of the recent norcal ggac ranbat, we may be in trouble for a venue as apparently the manager of the bowling alley has warned them that the policy will be changed in the future. so for now, the bowling alley is tentative. another option is since we are only playing single elim and the start time is relatively early, we could just have it in the SU.
if we have time, it might be fun to do a 2v2 SBO waseda event. ok that's all folks, get hype, and give me your feedback
