Honestly, I think no one cares about a customized GC or a trophy. I think that the best way to get people to come is to keep the venue fee as low as possible. No one is gonna say "oh hey, i wanna come to this cuz i can win a trophy!"

I know he's tryin to do somethin nice, but I mean on the real its just gonna keep people from coming cuz they dont wanna drop 10 bills on a venue fee.

The first event is November 1st with Alukard's No Johns Melee Biweekly!

Full details on the tournament itself will be available soon. I updated the first post with this info, and added a Mass Madness to the tourney list.

I'm trying to think of a way to get doubles on the circuit, hopefully I'll have an idea by the end of the day.

forgot to mention, so far iv raised $5 for the ANMC pot lol
i took 10% of the pot from the first drexel biweekly, which was practically nothing lol. the tourney had less than 24 hours notice and only 11 ppl, so not bad lol. future tourneys will def raise a lot more, and so will the circuit events. hey, $5 is more than the ecrc has saved up for their pot right now lolol

Shouldn't someone make a thread in the tournament listings for the first event of the ANMC?

Also some things to think about: how to make room for more setups in different locations to maximize space in the basement. How to cool down the basement. How to draw as many people from OOS to come to this (pot size should be VERY important).

yea i told alukard to make a thread for it in tourney listings, il make one though if you want.

il also work as hard as i can to help advertise it to get oos attendance. that wont be hard at all. this is melee! lol

maximizing space isn't hard, the time i went we completely didn't use any of the opposite wall, and there were like 4 tables being used for nothing lol. just need to bring some surge protectors n stuff

cooling down the basement though... sort of a prob lol. any ideas? take $15 out of the pot to buy a box fan at walmart lol

how about this for point assigning

assign points for singles and doubles the same way ecrc does (look at their page for the exact numbers)
this assigns points to top 32 in singles, and each player for top 16 in teams

then for the final event, the top 32 singles ranked players are allowed entry into the event. if someone is missing from the top 32, we simply add a bye which will be given to the top player, and so on if a 2+ byes are needed. if we need to break a tie, we can either use the people are in attendance (or if theres more, perhaps have them do a quick round robin to break the tie?). players below 32nd spot though can not be subbed in if people are absent.

for doubles, how about this:
out of the people in attendance, we start at #1 and ask them who they want to team with. then we move down to the next person (so say #1 teams with #2, next person open is #3), ask them to find a teammate and so on. keep going till we have 16 teams. obviously the player finding a teammate cant pick anyone they want, lol they have to agree. only requirement for a teammate though to make it fair, they have to choose someone that they have teamed with at an earlier circuit event. the other requirement is that everyone in this final teams bracket has to have attended atleast one anmc doubles event. this shouldnt be a problem however since the same tourney as the final event will also be a anmc event (like a 2 day tourney where first day is the regular anmc singles and doubles, and day 2 is the finals)

well chibo it should b stable teams ... like me and dj and jman and eggm ... this will not only make it fair ... but also will encourage people to get out there and start forming a real team and making doubles wat its supposed to b ... full of TEAM CHEMISTRY ... i mean people enter teams and expect to have beast team work and combos ... yet ur not going to anticipate ur ally if u just started teaming with them ... so yea thats my opinion =P ...

yea solid teams is definitely the way to go, but the same people simply can't make it to every event. and even if we say so what to these teams, if one of the teammates goes are they not allowed to enter doubles? or what if ppl decide to switch teammates part way through? i would like to do this but theres a lot of questions to be answered

Bullheaded Onychomys is looking to be an awesome tourney on January 3rd in CT. I think it should be an ANMC event, what does everyone think about that?

I have to PM spawn and make sure he can follow the ANMC guidelines.

btw jfox, il hold CoTs before then most likely, but they wont be ANMC and probably not as big as normal. There's still the biweeklies for now.
