i was recording TV 17 all day on day 1. Let me know if there are matches you have on there that you want me to upload. This should include some of R1 pool 26 and at least 1 or 2 more of the R1 pools?
I don't know which other pools (R1 or R2) were played on that TV. Juggleguy, do you have that info recorded somewhere?
I don't have any of the bracket matches. I got to the venue late that day and it was already a cluster-****.
I left out a sheet and a pen for ppl to write down tags and what time they played their matches and such, but no one used it, so i'm going to have to go through all of the videos to find **** for you guys if you want any of it
I definitely do not have that info written down anywhere.
For anyone wondering, here are some things we had working against us at the venue, starting from the most annoying:
1. No labels (seriously?) associated with several of the TVs, probably around a third of them, until late in the day on Friday
2. Inconsistent order of label numbers on the TVs that did have them; labels were also so tiny that they were hard to read
3. Very little room on top of tables for laptops to be placed next to the TVs, plus unnecessary coats, drinks, and backpacks taking up space
4. Lack of available outlets, and even when available, power strips dangerously dangling off tables or placed in awful locations
5. Lack of a loud PA system, making it impossible to direct players to the proper setup without hunting them down and dragging them to it
6. Poor placement of TVs in terms of screen size; the bigger and more popular TVs were located in harder-to-reach areas for some stupid reason
7. Several TVs (at least 10-15 of them) had no GameCubes to go with them... I seriously can't comprehend how this even happened
8. Too many people crowding around tables, making it nearly impossible to coordinate a team effort regarding the recording staff
9. Lack of cooperation from TOs regarding the location of recorded matches (not their fault, they had to hustle due to the schedule falling behind)
10. Inability to view bracket on a projector or monitor; people had to crowd around the TO desk and constantly ask to scroll up/down/left/right
Not to mention the several people supposed to be recording who didn't show up, or simply disappeared during the day without monitoring their setups at all, making it impossible to identify recorded matches afterwards.
Throw in the 500 people in attendance constantly moving around and preventing communication between players/TOs/staff and you can probably start to see how messy the situation was all weekend.
Not blaming anyone in particular, just stating the facts so people who weren't in attendance can understand how difficult it was. I think the tournament recovered decently, allowing at least some recording to be done on Sunday.
