    SBVGC GameFest Brawl Tourney - (Santa Barbara, CA) - (04/25/09)

    Thanks for coming everyone. It was great to watch and I had a blast starting this event and organizing it for it's first two years. This will be my last year organizing it (at least I hope or think so) and it was a great event to end on. I hope you all make it back next year.

    That shouldn't be a problem. We should have some extra table and outlet space.

    We've complained a lot and had that machine worked on by it's operator on several occasions. It is certainly in better condition than you remember it but I won't make any claims as to perfection. It is definitely usable as Mio mentioned. And from the looks of things, it will be set on freeplay...

    SBVGC GameFest Brawl Tourney - (Santa Barbara, CA) - (04/25/09)

    We will be taking interest signups throughout the day and launching tournaments as time permits. Last year, time and space really became an issue. But we do plan on having more if all else permits. Please note though that even if we don't, we will still have 8+ Xbox setup for open play of a...

    I just managed to track down my firewire connection earlier so I should have it ripped by tonight and converted and online by the weekend some time.

    Yeah, the event went great. At it's peak, we were around 170 people and most things went excellently. The tournament was awesome, the LAN party was packed and the arcade and open play games were a success. As far as starting on time, that was caused by the fact that we blew up (literally) 8...

    I just wanted to thank everyone that came. We had a turnout of over 160+ (some unofficial counts had us hitting the 200 attendee mark) people and everything went off without a hitch. By the end, I was practically dead on my feet because I got there at 6:30 to set up but the finals were great...

    Sorry, I took so long to respond to the last couple messages but I have been super busy. It's the last week, aka crunch time, and of course a hundred hurdles come up only now. Lol. But if you get there at 4-5, it shouldn't be a problem. The day is going until 9:00PM. As far as Mario Kart and...

    There will indeed be some sort of video capturing of the semis and finals. Additionally, the TVs are fairly high end so they output to each other and ultimately to a switch so that the finals can be shown on all four 52" LCDs as well as possibly the projector being used for the brackets...

    We haven't determined all the games available for open gaming but I wouldn't be surprised to see Melee. Our Brawl tournament director Matt is adamantly in favor of it.

    I'm glad to hear it! I just wanted to make sure you knew that the tournament has been changed to a Double Elimination bracket and starts at 3:00 instead of 6:00 now on Saturday, April 26, 2008. The reason it started so late was due to projectors and glare from the sunset. However, I have secured...

    I took your reccomendations for removal. I did decide to keep Luigi's Mansion and I added your suggestions. Also, the reason for the original selection of Single Elimination was a time constraint because we had to start later in the day due to having to use projectors. However, with that...

    Thanks for the input. I will indeed be moving Lylat Cruise to Neutral. I am in charge of the event as a whole and decided to post the tournament here but Smash is not my specialty. We have a tournament director who's specialty it is but he's out of town this week and I wanted to get it posted on...
