You should know the deal by now, this ish is as monthly as we can get it. Make it out, have some fun, get some matches recorded, hopefully leave home with some extra cash.

There are food spots within the area, and directions to the arcade will be posted up soon. The results of this event will be taken and scored to start off this year's ranbat scoring. I have two cameras for recording tournaments, but I will need many more if I want to get everything completed recorded.

I'll also be in need of people willing to run brackets/bring PS2s for Guilty Gear. The TVs are already there, we just need the equips to boot up the system.

NOTE: If for some reason the arcade gets AH2 before this tournament, the AH1 tourney will be replaced by an AH2 tourney.

NOTE: CvS2 has now been changed to a PS2 tourney, so you know the deal. If you have any extra copies of CvS2 lying around, bring em to the tourney.

I'll try to show up to this depending on where I stand as far as money and transportation go.

If I go I'll bring a PS2 and my copy of GGAC like last time, and anyone that needs a stick is free to use mine as well so long as I'm not using it.

So this is a story...
: Re: Tomb Sweeping BEATDOWN - Philly, PA - 4/5/08
: ElderGOD February 12, 2008, 09:35:58 PM
All about how :mystery:

Kayin, bring your stuff and I'll waive your house fee for GGAC no problem. I've also added a tourney for CvS2, PS2. There is no house fee for it, as it will be run on min's equipment, and not the arcade's.

Can I get some people to run brackets? :toot:

Word on the street is that UP has a MAME cabinet now, so I'll be checking it out to see how the equipment is. Most likely I'll be adding another tournament game, so stay tuned.

I dont know if this is going to affect anyone coming to this event, but I'll still let you guys know whats up:

The owner says that he wants all the machines on Event mode during this tournament, or else it isn't going to happens. What this means is, even if you win, you'll have to put 50 cents in to play the next match.

At this point I'm thinking of switching tourneys to single elim, or having double elim 1 match per bracket.

This doesn't affect GGAC in any way

wow.

SBO format dis shit.
: Re: Tomb Sweeping BEATDOWN - Philly, PA - 4/5/08
: DarkSaint April 01, 2008, 02:57:38 PM
Will the machines be on event mode for casuals? Why is it that every time I look forward to something, it gets gayed up right before? :mystery: :psyduck:
: Re: Tomb Sweeping BEATDOWN - Philly, PA - 4/5/08
: Arlieth Tralare April 01, 2008, 06:24:05 PM
Hyperhal: Actually, you can just make the loser put in the next 50 cents in stead.

Event mode makes it so that two players can play for the price of one game, for one match. If anything, just make each player pay 25 cents per game, every game.
: Re: Tomb Sweeping BEATDOWN - Philly, PA - 4/5/08
: F9|Chibi April 01, 2008, 06:46:05 PM
Right, that's the normal way event mode is done.

But this guy wants to charge 50 cents no matter what~
: Re: Tomb Sweeping BEATDOWN - Philly, PA - 4/5/08
: ElderGOD April 01, 2008, 07:42:47 PM
Arly: He has event mode set to 1 dollar

Right now I'm thinking about canceling this tourney, I'll let everyone know by Thursday
: Re: Tomb Sweeping BEATDOWN - Philly, PA - 4/5/08
: jiyuna April 01, 2008, 07:53:24 PM
Lol, is he retarded? I don't want you to cancel the tourney, Hal; but if you do, hopefully the owner will see how much money he missed out on.
: Re: Tomb Sweeping BEATDOWN - Philly, PA - 4/5/08

That probably the best thing to do if all the tourneys that day are going to be like that.

So unless this gets fixed before the tourney, then I'll see you @ UP in May/June.
: Re: Tomb Sweeping BEATDOWN - Philly, PA - 4/5/08
: Lord Knight April 02, 2008, 12:00:23 PM
So basically he wants to make more money off the tourney player than the normal customer.

That shit is so lame.

We should all come down and play anyway though.

EDIT: Really, we should format the tourney around this shit. BUT, no 1 dollar per match that's just bullshit.
