agreed, its the only part that dragged. playoffs should be single elim and not groups imo

I'd agree on this, more for pure expediency than anything.

Or red's solution if viable (as people in the knock out group become known they start their fights straight away).

The problem was that we waited until all the groups were finished before even starting the playoff group. There's always one or two groups that take a bit longer than others to finish, and during this time the other players in the playoff group can get their matches out of the way.

or maybe you shouldnt come 3rd in your group

nah jkn, red solution is good.

I dunno what happened with the table getting knocked over but is there anything you could do to make them more solid?
I know nothing got broken but what would happen if something did? I know id be fairly pissed of if I had something there and it was broken, lol

My SSFIV disk was an unfortunate casuality I'm afraid. At least now I finally get to put that PS3 copy and PS3 stick I won to good use until I pick up a new 360 copy or get my current one fixed.=)

If groups were best-of-1 game, I'd never have made it through.

If you can get the game on to the hard drive the disc might be still good enough to read and play off the hard drive?

There were latches on the underside of the tables that werent locked out, I locked them after the 'incident'. But at least we'll know the next time :rolleyes:

Placebo

that happened because the table was dragged with the contents on it,
me and speedy were safely removing the contents first when some one hesitated and immediately opted for the lazy way out

I'm still waiting to get my hands on my other 360 so I can check that.
The 360 I brought with me was also damaged in the fall, but it was basically in bits to begin with so I was happy to see it Red Ring finally.

I heard Farz had a hissy fit and flipped the table up in a sulk when he lost.

If it hasn't already been suggested, Sairus should get his replacement SSFIV disk paid for, it's only 25 Quid but i think it's fair.

That wouldn't have really helped. All that would mean is that instead of all players playing at once, the play off group would have been fractured and simply waiting for one person to finish all their games. It would have made a minimal difference of about 5 minutes, which was the time lost while we had two players waiting for the other games to finish.

Everyone played all at once so the group was as quick as it could have been. Also above we had complaint about the fractured nature of the event as is. Organisationally I prefered to finish all groups so that I could start to organise brackets while the play off group was played, which saved us some time overall.
Hopefully if can get numbers up again this will be a moot point.

Fractured post but all valid. Oh and main groups will not go back to one match.

Kirby

The format is fine in my eyes. I would leave the playoff group the way it is. It's good that people have another good shot of getting through.

Starting it straight away even if a group isn't finished would seem like a good idea.

It works grand on an install, so dont worry your wee heads.

Good point, maybe a playoff bracket would be a better option?

Right so it's been more or less a week unless anyone has any issues I am going to suggest the following :

1) Back to Space 54. Good venue, worked out, try it once more to see how it goes and then work towards a block booking for discounts.

2) We buy this monitor : http://www.jaguarcompsys.ie/product_...oducts_id=3141
18.5" isn't that small, it's not 4:3 and it seems good for lag.

3) I'm also going to suggest we purchase at lease one or two of the following PS3 to VGA cables. http://www.mayflash.com/vgabox/vga004/vga004.htm

4) Printing. I want to start looking for print quotes. I'm thinking 5 A3 prints and 20 A4. Too much, too little? Does anyone want an A3 for themselves or are they willing to buy used ones?

i agree with all of this.

Also I'd love an A3. i'll pay. Or a used one. Whichever is better for Inferno.

GorySnake

Yes to Space 54, that was a great place to host Inferno.

That link isnt working for me, but I dont mind what I play on anyway, my group had the world's smallest 4:3 monitor to play on, and I never notice lag.

I think myself and chunkis were the only two people who had a problem with the aspect ratio, but it's a very real concern for me personally. Some of the crazier air throws I pull off are pretty much impossible for me if I can't work out the angles on a jump in in split seconds type of thing.

Placebo

i want a3 too, for free ofcourse cause i made em
whens next inferno ?

Of course, if it's a problem for other players I have no problems making adjustments, I didnt mind waiting for our match, considering I myself requested an Xbox anyway.

I'm assuming this new monitor will be payed for by the "community funds"?

don't think anyone would have a problem with you taking one of the ones we use after the event is done

first saturday of the month as usual I presume

D4RK ONION

Sounds good Orim, I'm up for all of that. Maybe 1 A2 one as well for just outside the venue? My Uncle is in printing, if you want to tell me what you'd like I can get a quote for you.

bush

What if we got a load of general posters printed? Not advertising a particular inferno, but more to advertise that inferno exists. We could just put the venue on it and that its on the 1st sat of the month and for further info go to sf.ie
We could use these over a good length of time.

Orim

That makes a lot of sense to me. I thought about this before.

The only issue is that a lot of the posters we would use we might not get back but it certainly mean that we could order more and go for a bigger bulk so get them cheaper.

On the otherhand I do like the idea of different posters for each event. We could do a mix of the two?

K.O.Kiki

I just realised I'm missing my PS1 disc for Tekken 3 since Inferno 11.

Monkeyto

I have a spare MIKE ROSS BELIEVE Poster if you need it for the next inferno

Orim

Ordered two PS3 VGA cables. Also getting some printer quotes. Presume I'll hear back tomorrow.

Also, I found that I have an extra copy of Super. Is anyone missing a 360 copy? I think it may have been brought in a Fable 2 box.

18.5 is small, would we not be better off waiting to get a 20+ or a small high spec HD TV?

K.O.Kiki

HDTVs are worse for lag.
Monitors only.
