Utican Do It! - March 3rd, 2012 (Two stage bans)

[PieDisliker]

The stage list is not 100%, although I really wanted to try an experimental ruleset to see how it would work out. Of course, if most people that are coming want RC/Brinstar/PS2 gone, I'd probably compromise and take off the two least wanted. Same goes for Melee.

Spoiler

And in the future if PS2/Brinstar/RC go, I'm tempted to make FD a cp. But that's a story for another day.

I support keeping PS2, and I would support making FD a cp in a three to seven stage starter list.

 

[VibeSlyph]

I would support keeping RC or PS2, banning the other two.

 

[M.I.K]

are their any smashers in syracuse?

 

[Spamus43]

There are; you should check out this thread to introduce yourself/find out what's going on.

 

[da K.I.D.]

Dont change the ruleset, stick to your guns lil dude.

theres nothing wrong with the rulesets the way you have them now.

I'll pass on the chili

Got some pics of the venue. I didn't get to take pics of all spots I wanted to because there was a band setting up to perform that day. Hopefully I can get some of the tourney room and the back door.

Also, if you're bringing a setup, you should park by the back door. If not, then you should park where I stated was main parking. There shouldn't be any problems for parking, although be careful a bit, because Genesee Street's a busy street with lots of traffic.

 

[Dai Luna]

Are you specifically setting up food just for the tournament??

Why is it that when I go to my user cp the title of this thread doesn't have the event date in it?
Make sure the date is in the title please

No, the food's always been there, but they're going to make more because of it. Although the pizza to be sold might just be there because of the tourney.

 

[Spamus43]

De-confirmed, for now; might be in Kansas that weekend.

Also, bump.

 

[Itsnotmyfault]

Requested off work this day, so barring my manager being a ****, I'll be here. I will be driving past the Albany area, so I will collect a carpool from there.

 

[PieDisliker]

I really enjoyed how pools went at 8th BEST. I'm considering having pools and an amateur bracket for $1 if it sounds like a good idea. We're only running singles so I think we'd be able to manage. What do you guys think?

Baaaaaaawwwwwww

 

[Omega Tyrant]

Pools are fine if attendance is high enough.

 

[PieDisliker]

What do you think is a good enough number? 25+?

I don't want to run pools unless there's enough people for an amateur bracket, which obviously can't happen unless a fair amount of people don't qualify for bracket. Example, if we have 27 entrants and I decide to make 6 pools of 5 or 4 players. Top 3 make it out, leaving 11 players at most in the amateur bracket.

I could also try running one bracket with an amateur bracket for those eliminated in the first two or even three rounds. Would either option work? I'm not sure.

 

[Itsnotmyfault]

Unless this gets like 40+, an amateur bracket seems a little silly. Pools I'd say 20+. So you can have at least 4 pools of 5.

 

[Gaia_x]

am bracket would be kinda neat. And pools are always fun and often help with the seeding.

 

[Dai Luna]

Pools would be awesome!
You know is we have high enough attendance but even then
It gives everyone a sense of a real match, as opposed to friendlies
You actually play a variety of individuals, as opposed to getting knocked out early
You get more for what you pay while seeding as well
IMO it makes attending tournaments more enjoyable

I'm not opposed to an amateur bracket, since it really won't get in the way of the main tournament unless you're playing melee finals and are in the amateur bracket for brawl, this could slow down the bracket
Other than that, it would keep everyone constantly playing given we have enough setups

Do you have a rough count of how many setups are coming in?

 

[andyisjudo]

Oh wow Hype! I might go to this, let me see if I don't have anything planned that weekend

Spoiler

jk

 

[PieDisliker]

Unfortunately I don't. We only have a limited amount of Wiis + TVs so we'll need to rely more on people coming from other cities to bring setups. This explains the venue fee discount. I know some people are bringing setups but there's a lot more people may be bringing that they didn't mention.

Wiis are probably a bigger deal than TVs but TVs are still a big deal.

 

[EPsilon933]

There is the slightest chance I'd be able to go. Any Falcos want to money match me? I play Peach

I'll need a ride from/to Syracuse

 

[PieDisliker]

It'd be awesome if you went Zant, we need all the recording setups for melee that we can.

ill money match you with my busted no tech skill falco.

 

[MetalPat]

I'll come if you unban MK otherwise I'll probably never go up there

just read front page and saw this again.

LAWWWLALALALALALAL.

 

[EPsilon933]

Update: It turns out I should be arriving in Syracuse at 1:00pm at soonest...

 

[PieDisliker]

I should have more information on this tourney this weekend. Also, since most of you guys that were planning on doing the 5v5 are coming to this, maybe you'll wanna do a Syracuse vs. Albany thing here. Always an option. I feel bad for our being late being (partially) responsible for your missing out on crews. If not it can always be done at the next BEST.

Regardless I hope you're all hyped. L-Don got a couple guys he knew that'll probably come to this.



Rob's not the only one that can post gifs.

 

[EPsilon933]

Is anyone from Syracuse willing to pick me up and arrive at the tournament by like 2pm?

 

[PieDisliker]

I'm willing to start melee at 2, but brawl will start when melee hits the top 8.

 

[-Cross-]

I want to bring a setup, but I need to join a carpool. I don't really want to be transporting a wii and tv on a bus. Are there any open spots from any carpools coming from Syracuse or anywhere west of Utica? My school is just 15 minutes west of Utica and would not be out of the way to go to. Any help?

 

[PieDisliker]

Made a poster

PM me if you want the file that you can print out. Also, changing the schedule.

 

[Foy]

subscribing. If i feel like burning money i might be there.

 

[Foy]

or someone give me a ride >_<

 

[dudutsai]

Any chance that someone is driving through Binghamton and willing to pick me and maybe others up? :D

 

[Itsnotmyfault]

One of you really needs to get a car.

 

[Xubble]

If my car can get its inspection sticker (it expired in December. x_x), I could drive up and potentially bring one or two local guys who are decent here.

But it's looking like that won't happen in time. T_T

 

[Nintendude]

Will there be a lot of random Uticans at this?

 

[PieDisliker]

Hopefully but I don't know. We're trying, though.

 

[Rykard]

Ithaca vs The World crew battle anyone?
