The more setups we have, faster and smoother our tournaments will run.

The reason why it is a two day event is because of casuals and people can have there own tourney but please don't let it interfere with the main tourneys. If you want to make a thread in any other forum please just let me know before you do.

When players start signing up for the tourneys please tell or type in all your information at the front desk of Battlegrounds. An example would be if you wanted your character next to your name in the results then you would put your name then a dash and right next to it the character. The tourney organizers are not going to be responsible for any information you didn't tell us at the front desk. Once everybody is all set with telling us their information we will then seed it accordingly.

I will update with more info once I have more time so please bear with me.

We're also starting a Melty Blood Scene in Connecticut and the thread for it and can be found Here.

Current Weekly Meet-ups can be found Here

Lets have some input! What would be good for all of you? I hope to see you all there!

[king dooky]

Yo Fraga thx for the help man but don't you think your entry fee is alot?

[kona]

It's good that we finally got shit going but I'm going to have to agree with Tom on this one. The fee is a bit high for MB. I honestly think we should lower it to 5 dollars. I'd say wait until the scene gets bigger before bumping it to 10.

And how'd you know I was bringing a setup? It's like you read my mind.

[Fraga]

Ok I'll lower to it $5, I just went with what the other tournaments were. All input is appreciated!

[king dooky]

If it doesn't work out for Friday then you could do it Sat. but make sure it doesn't interfere with SF4 and T6. Even if you have to bring your own tv's it's cool. I will advertise this on my thread on SRK and Kona if you don't mind doing the same on Dustloop that would be great thx.

[kona]

Shit's posted on Dustloop. 

[Fraga]

Excellent, I have some friends who's going to join the tournament (about 3-4). They're just starting off but they want to get a feel for tournament environment. Also;

Happy Holidays guys

[kona]

Fraga, can you update your first post with the info I have posted on Dustloop? I added some new info and made it a tad easier to read.

[Fraga]

New Date: 12th and 13th of February. Also updated Venue fee

[kona]

Good idea, Fraga. I'm gonna update shit on Dustloop too.

[king dooky]

Yo Kona and Fraga, what is the prize split for 1st,2nd, and 3rd for MB:AA and GG?

[kona]

I'm thinking 80/20 if we get the same typical turnout. What do you think, Fraga?

[Fraga]

Yeah I'd say 80/20, I'm not expecting a big crowd, but something to at least get the tournament going

[king dooky]

Ok kewl Just put that split info on your thread and please update the tekken info with this.

Tekken 6 (PS3 Version)
-Double Elimination
-Timer set to 60 seconds
-Best 3 out of 5 rounds
-Best 2 out of 3 matches (Losers, Winners, and Grand Finals are best 3 out of 5)
-Button binding is allowed
-If they are available for selection, Azazeal and Nancy are banned
-Blind Selection available upon request.

For the split just put subject to change right beside it just in case there is complaining


Thx

[Fraga]

Ok, updated

[ZeldaMainer]

I wanna go sooooooo bad. Though, I doubt I can get a ride to Vernon :|

DM would have been so much more convenient.

[kona]

DM would've been nice but they're closed unfortunately. But it's not to early to start asking people for rides. There are quite a few people in CT who can be nice enough to give you a ride provided you have gas money.

[Fraga]

It also depends where you are, I might be able to pick you up if you're near South-West CT

[king dooky]

Where's the CT HYPE! Don't tell me it's only Fraga I know it's bigger than that!

[Fraga]

Working on it friend, got a bunch of guys who're going to register soon so we can get this going

[TalesofDawn]

I can bring a GGAC and a Melty setup if you need it, Fraga.

[king dooky]

There's a update on SRK and if you need to update anything else let me know.

[Fraga]

Ok, thanks Tales, that'd be greatly appreciated. And I'll update the original post

[HBRD]

Obligatory I NEED A RIDE post.

From either Boston or Hartford, I could take a bus down to CT but that's expensive :<

[kona]

Somebody give that man a ride. The more the merrier!
