ACMM 3: Johnuary. New years, old game!

So, here's the deal.

Coty's weekly tourneys are now monthlies. Monthly tourneys will yield more turnout, and out-of-towners will come in for monthlies. PLEASE come for these tournaments. COTY WILL BUY PIZZA IF 20+ PEOPLE ENTER They're still Coty's tournaments, but we're sorta co-hosting them now as he is indisposed with his job until 5. I made a new thread because I'm more active, and I'd put forth more effort to changing up the thread to make it more noticeable and appealing. Don't lock it.

NEXT TOURNAMENT...... JANUARY 31, 2009

HOUSING Situation for the January Monthly
I will be housing people. Please bring sleeping bags or pillows/blankets. I have some, but I don't have enough for everyone, and my floor is hard.

4537 East Cactus Road
Phoenix, AZ 85032

I would like to stress that this is an attempt to get new people into our community. So it is of the utmost importance that good sportsmanship is used. I'm not going to ask you to sandbag or not try, but when you win, be a good sport about it.

One of the reasons people drop out early or don't get into it is because they never make it past that first tournament experience when someone tears them apart with one hand on their controller and using bowser (and I believe that pretty much anybody that will be reading this thread is capable of just that if they wanted to). Yes, if these people REALLY wanted to get really good, they'd weather it and come back for more, as many of us did. This kind of elitism, I believe, is something that is holding us back. I only got to where I am due to Demised's efforts to help me, and even though he ***** me as hard as ever, he at least kept me going. I'm not that great, but at least I've been in the top 10 (and even #1 spot for a while) in two states' Power Rankings.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Crews will be draft crews. There will be two giant crews going at it, with the leaders being Forward and Taj (or Wobbles)

Be here by 1. The bracket will start at 1:15 - 1:30. I'll try to get here at 12:30, but my dad isn't reliable with doing **** on time.

Also, setups would be madly appreciated. We want to do doubles, singles, and crews in our eight-hour timeframe, so we shouldn't **** around like last time where we didn't have a great turnout. This has people coming to it, so we need to pull together and not **** it up.

Here's what the schedule will look like

12:30ish: Setup, signup
1:15-1:30: Start doubles
3:30: End doubles, start lunch break, start singles sign up
4:30 Start singles
7:30 End singles, start crews
8:45 Clean-up. Once we leave, it would be MAD cool if we could go to IHOP (or somewhere else, but IHOP is in the same parking lot)
TAJ IS OFF WORK ON JAN 31ST

I think I will try and come to this
If you had to pick a month to go to this, I'd recommend it be January or February.

But if you could go to this AND one of those months, it's better ;)

Because we'll have everyone coming on January (i.e. Sierra Vista, perhaps Goop's posse), plus there will be a much longer notice.

Really? Is this one going to be a bad turnout? Do you think a lot of people will show? Abercombie and fitch wants me to buy some chuck taylors for work, and I thought this might be a good way to afford them.

I don't think it's going to be a BAD turnout, but SV isn't coming, plus, I don't think Goop's posse isn't going :/

Why don't we cut out the middle man here:

We'll pitch in, buy Sean some clothes, mail it to him, go to atomic, play some melee and save him the trip?

you were johning cuz my john
That may be true but that does not mean I was johning *about* -your- john.

Plus, your post alone wasn't enough to make me choose my decision. It just seems like not a lot of people will come to this unlike last time...I'm staying with my decision.

All right, all right.

Just don't bring things up like that and don't respond then... *sigh* There's nothing wrong with relaying information regarding this tourney.

Tourney's in a few days.

The turnout is probably going to be pretty decent

me and light will be going to this, hopefully a good turn out. i just cant go to the later ones that coty puts on, its way too late.
Yeah, I kinda felt the same way. It's pretty lame only having singles... and a like, three hour tourney.

Just isn't the same.

Its great to see a regular tournament within a viable traveling distance. It's too bad I couldn't participate on account of Thanksgiving weekend time constraints, but I at least got to spectate a bit. I doubt I'll be able to make December (unless it's before the 18th), bu I will be there in January if at all possible.
