Due to the grads one of my assessments has been pushed forward to next week making 3 in four days so I can't justify losing the whole of Saturday for this

Best of luck with it and hope to see you at the next one.:)

Ah, that's a pity, lads. Not to worry though. With a little luck this could be the first of a few tournies like this (if all goes well), so maybe next time around

ok we have the start time of the event ( 1 in the afternoon ) but knowing how many people turn up i might need to know the estimated time of the event ending. i only ask because i am making my way from cork to galway and the last bus from galway to cork Via citylink is at 18:30
don't get me wrong, i could ask some random family member who lives in galway to let me crash the night but i would rather avoid the long hassle,

i am sure i am not the only one who would like to know this information at question.
thanks

I'd really like to attend one, this just came down to bad luck.

this always happens though, don't get disheartened

I wouldn't be worried.
Tempest starts at 13:00/13:30ish and we're done with the main tournament by about 16:00/17:00 every time. And we take our sweet time running Tempest - if I took away that casuals machine and was properly pushing for time we'd be out in 3 hours.

Doom is constant disappointment.

Honestly, I couldn't tell you, man. I haven't run one of these before, and I'm not sure how many people will be attending, so I don't know how long it will run.

If it works out to this effect, then that would be grand.

booked the ticket and now all that is left is to make my way there, i should be there by 12:30 ish

CavemanFurby · 14-10-2011 11:05PM

I'm in Galway already, should be in to 091 place by 12-12 30ish! Enough time for some casuals before the tournament begins hopefully

chopperbyrne · 15-10-2011 06:41AM

Thank for organising the tournament lads. you did a bang up job!! fair play to sairus amd marij9 also. good final!

Sairus · 15-10-2011 07:04PM

T'was indeed a good one! Cheers for running it and congrats on a smooth first event!

GGs to everyone. Those were a brutal 3 games I had to play with Prenelf, Marij9 and Shokashi before the finals.. which was another painful game with Marij :pac: I think that's the first time I've ever asked for a break between opponents!
I'll get you next time, man!

Videos will be up on Tuesday when I get back to Cork.

EDIT: Also, forgot to mention how awesome that venue is. Great job sourcing it.

...it appears you did. I can get that back to you before I head back to Cork.

That was a loooooooooong day, but a severly enjoyable one. I may have had my ass firmly kicked, but I had a blast watching the fights today. Some of the most intense matches I've ever seen (especially in the final)

Major thanks to Sairus (and his bro), Ogiekeaney, and Jim for supplying the gear. Extra special thanks to Jim for all but holding my hand with the whole formatting/ taking score/ and basically keeping things in check. I didn't even realise how just lost I would have been without you helping out untill the elimination rounds started. Still getting my head around it.
Thanks some more to the lads at 091 for letting us use their space. Lovely bunch of lads, and I'd highly reccommend them if anybody ever wants to set up... well anything really.
And of course, thanks to everyone else who showed up for the tournament. It was great craic lads.

Fair play to Marij9, Sairus and Shokashi for bringing home the bacon. Some serious matches played out. I was being schooled just watching these fights.

Also, there was a white Xbox 360 joypad left in the venue (I've got it at the moment). Whose is it?

Anybody up for another Rupture then?

UberPrinny_Baal · 15-10-2011 10:09PM

Great job on your first tournament Deathrider.

Not many people are willing to step up to the plate like you did, and it looks like it was a really good one.

Congrats!

Shokashi · 15-10-2011 10:15PM

i have to admit this was a good event, and yes another one would be nice providing we can stock up on more players

martij9 · 16-10-2011 12:48AM

thanks for organizing the tournamet, Death rider.

I had a blast playing the crew for Cork, Shannon, and Galway. Galway should try to set up weekly meetings cuz I want you guy guys take down Dublin in team battles!

If you guys would like to add me on Xbox live, my gamer tag is

I don't know how much lag there will be from California to Ireland

deathrider · 16-10-2011 02:05PM

Cheers for the kind words, lads. Much appreciated, and I'm glad everyone had a good day. Also, if there are/were any complaints, lay them on me so I can try to sort them out for the next one.

Yeah, man, you got me thinking when you mentioned that yesterday. I'd love to see a bit of a gaming scene evolving here in Galway, and getting in the swing of it with the rest of Ireland's fighters. I'll have words with the folks in 091 Labs to see how much casuals would cost, and maybe see where I can go from there.

On a side not though, I still can't get my head around how you use that stick. It looks mental, dude. Lol.
