CGC @ SFSU XXV - SEP. 3rd!

[onski?]

i havent played an NHL game in soooo long....

WE NEED SOME CAPCOM VS SNK 2 AT THIS

this should be a smash tourney/gamefest

just play hella games after the tourney

honestly, i want to include a wider variety of games (i.e. not a Smash game). bringing in the SNES is an attempt to revive some overlooked classics, and test people on a competitive level. in a perfect retro-obsessive world, i could imagine Brandon and Phil commentating on some epic a$$ TMNT TF match..

Wasn't the gamecube one the one where you can both be in reach of the explosion and whoever gets hit first loses?

If so that one was dumb.

Oh, and I bought 4 Samsung 52" TV's, all of which were canceled. Gay.

So hard.

 

[pockyD]

it got cancelled =( wahh

don't make posts like this in a tournament thread!

 

[The___cheese]

Then come up to norcal and destroy us. If you can.

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

I was looking at that "socal arcadian tournament" thread in Pac West Social and I thought something similar might be good in Norcal too. The idea is that you have a bracket that's only non-ranked people and a bracket that's ranked only people. Norcal brackets are hella hard so it would be nice to let the unranked people play people on their level.

We'd have to work out a format though, so here are some ideas:
-Just 2 separate non-interacting brackets. Problems are that most ranked people like the warm-up match against the unranked, and also unranked people like to get the experience of playing the top players.
-Amateur bracket plays first, top X play in pro bracket. Only problem with this is it deprived the ranked people of a few tourney sets. This might be solved by:
-2 sets of pools, a set of ranked players to determine seeding in the pro bracket, which would have a few slots open for the top X people from a set of pools unranked players. The seeding is fairly well-established among the ranked people though, so having them play pools might be just busywork. I dunno, I want to see what people think of this.

 

[pockyD]

it's "solved" simply by regularly running pools (or SWISS?!) when there's time

when there's not time, there's not time

and the real 'idea' wasn't to have two separate brackets; it was to have a tournament only intended for unranked players

edit: and such a gimmick tournament might be interesting once in a while but it should definitely not replace a standard event

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

Swiss pools IMO

 

[pockyD]

swiss pools are the same as just plain pools, except you waste time by advancing everyone

 

[SFAT]

That sounds interesting.

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

Only in the first round is everyone advanced, because it's pools of 4 and they go hella fast.
And it's a little easier to manage than regular Swiss.

If people want to do regular Swiss though I'm happy to see what we can do with that.

 

[pockyD]

it's easier to manage than "regular swiss" because it is pools

i.e. bracketpools (where everyone in a pool plays in a mini double elim bracket or something) (i just made up this term so it would fit my analogy, but the concept is a real thing) are faster than pools because they are brackets

"swiss pools" doesn't address any shortcomings of the regular pools system (which is already pretty good imo)

 

[The___cheese]

Swiss ironman low tier team crews?

 

[Pink Shinobi]

Did say, "BOMBERMAN!?" Bring it on! >:D

 

[darkatma]

i'm down for bomberman too

 

[Havokbringer]

I think One Round of pools with the top 3 advancing is enough.

That should satisfy anyone with their warm-ups/moneys worth, etc.
