DoC 11.5: IGUA/SF

Voa

Okay, so this is just to check dates for people and what's suitable. Once we know this, we can nail that date to the wall for people. Both these dates are viable for Felix.

Quick heads up though: I'm only planning on organising this, and ensuring that the tournaments get started. I won't be around for the entire thing. This means someone will have to step up and be the front man with Felix, ensuring that money changes hands (a fiver a head) and that the tournament brackets don't implode in any way.

I'll vouch for taking the money.

100+ views and like 12 votes...
I don't think there's much interest in this for December. Might try again in early January.

Might be no harm to run it anyway, as a small casuals tourney for the two games?

Generally, more people turn up than who vote in polls.

Didn't spot this before, voted now.

Generally I feel the furthest from Christmas the better for December tournaments.

As the 25th approaches, people realise there is things they haven't done, and presents they haven't bought. Tournaments attendance falls by the wayside then.

16 votes aint bad

Nutrient

The numbers are grand, more people tend to show that vote

Doctor DooM

I do always say, update your tournament thread regularly, or people won't notice it.

An increase of votes by 33% since it was updated saying no one is interested

Voa

There's no better way to generate interest than say I'm no longer interested :P

I'll talk to Felix tomorrow (provided he's in when I am) and if not, I'll get some credit and ring him to book for the 7th. It'll only be IGUA and AE, and IGUA will be first up.

I haven't seen any IGUA players post here...and forgot to allow myself to view voters :P
Is there any interest in the tournament at this time from them, or would a longer time for planning be preferred? 'cause if so, this is gonna be BB and AE (because I like BB that's why and it's my bloody tournament, to cut off any snarky posts ahead of the gate)

Doyler01

maybe make a poll for game 2?
BB sounds good to me as its new.

UberPrinny_Baal

BB and Melee!

Use Melee to bring in the numbers, then ensnare them into the BB scene with the pretty visuals and the multi game entry fee.

Like a Voa-spider.

I'll bring the consoles.

Here's a vote for IJ

....None at all.

The Injustice crowd is always up for events, I've informed them and they'd be up for it, we'd take 100% responsibility running it for a smooth experience.

Personally, I believe you should run BB too, It'd get more numbers.

IJ is getting run because of the time cock up last time, which honestly, does not justify precedence over a title with a larger player base, **** happens

ayjayirl

I would see no reason not to run BB and IJ as well as AE. Both of them could be run on the PS3's - of which I know Felix has loads available - freeing up the xboxs for AE. BB deserves a run since its new..... would be hard to develop a scene further if the new release doesn't at least get a run of 2/3 consecutive events.

Will also be 3 separate sub scenes..... which is good for turn out

SuperChar

Yeah seriously Voa we need IJ.I would of played id that stupid time thing hadn't happened
The IJ guys will show up if there's IJ to be played

Voa

We're in for the 7th.

I'll make a full post about it later tonight/tomorrow, but the running order will be IJ - AE, with a BB side tourney there too.
Pricing will be 5 entry to anything/casuals, 5 per tourney (except BB).
