$10, then they refunded everyone $5 when they changed it to single elimination.

It was originally $10, but since it was changed to single elimination, everyone got $5 back.
Edit: Lol Destroy answered first
And yes Lain was probably that guy

I was so pumped when i saw all the chinese food when I first got there... this tournament would have been much better if there more setups there. Then we could have had an actual pools and double elimination bracket... I do have to say good stuff JLO taking out grimace and Hunger. I guess I'll have more to say when results are up..

Good **** Joker and GOOD **** JLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO but it sounds like this tourney was balls.

Yeah, it's not as much DK's fault as it is people just didn't bring setups.

He's the host, he should be prepared for stuff like this. There really is no excuse.
Brilliant. First round of my first tournament I face the best Ice Climbers player in the world...
But I got a little better as a result, so that's good I guess.
Xyless
Smash Master
He asked people to bring setups. And him and Webster were hosting, like, 10 other tournaments. Unlike at Screenz, where tons of people brought full setups.
Arty
Smash Lord
I guess... although in a single elimination tourney, results really don't mean anything. There were a lot of great players facing other great players early on, and had no chance to make a comeback through losers.

this was not DK's fault. the venue was ok, a little cramped but we could have made due. we didnt bring any setups. unless you brought a setup (which i didnt) it is your fault. setups were the main issue. time could have been dealt with if we had more than 1 setup (which is what we brawl players brought).
dont blame DK for this ****. he does a great job at hosting tournaments, like we all saw with the CoB series.
although next time we should make sure we have a list of people bringing setups or something. i would have brought one but i left my **** at school and assumed there would be enough. see, i ****ed up. hate me iowa

yeah the single elim sucked, sucks extra hard when u make it to semifinals and have no chance to even play in losers finals or anything lol. i guess i just kinda wanted to play Arty and Lain but instead i got to lose to joker, who i can lose to whenever i want lol.
@gameandwatch4lyfe- iowa doesn't hate, but im pretty sure some of us were pretty upset about the setup situation, which is completely understandable, plus iowa brought a setup =P

JLo, make sure you promise me that this is not the last time Iowa will come to an IL tourney! Kakashi is just testing venues out that aren't Screenz (since Screenz has ridiculous prices and people).
Doesn't single elimination usually play out a tiebreaker between 3rd and 4th regardless?
Xyless
Smash Master
We couldn't, because we only had 1 TV left by that time (we were using a Street Fighter player's TV with my Wii), and by then, the store was closing.

I know some of you already posted about setups, but heres my insight. Folks, if setups are asked for, you should bring them (if room in your car permits). Who cares if you have an 18" TV? People will still play on it. It took me awhile to figure out what happened at this tournament and I'm glad I figured it out.
From another TO's standpoint, lack of setups can only be blamed on the attendees themselves. Unless you're at a high end venue with sponsors, a TO can only provide one or two setups. We're all not rich folks to provide 5-6 setups. I am very surprised at the reactions of some of you. C'mon folks, you we're told to bring setups, yet all but one of ya did (unless DK brought both). Blame yourselves, not him.

The issue with that blade, from talking to the people there, is that nobody knew setups were needed. Maybe nobody paid enough attention, or maybe they weren't advertised hard enough.
Teebs

If people would read the OP like most do before a tournament, then they would've seen:
You could be right though that no one really paid attention to that. It was the only thing about setups. But it's still there.Dark Kakashi said:
To an extent it's the players fault, but really there still should have been a set up list. No one knew only 1 person was bringing a full set up (Iowa). If Iowa didn't bring a set up (they shouldn't have been expected too), there would have been ZERO full set ups at this tournament lol. Theres no excuse for that as a T.O.
It was definitly not stressed that set ups were needed this badly. Just a casual "if you want to bring a set up you can, and you'll get in free" is not enough. I wouldn't have hauled my set up 8 hours for that either. It should have said "Bring ************ing set ups!!!!!".
Even partial set ups were discouraged.

In this case, I can agree with you.To an extent it's the players fault, but really there still should have been a set up list. No one knew only 1 person was bringing a full set up (Iowa). If Iowa didn't bring a set up (they shouldn't have been expected too), there would have been ZERO full set ups at this tournament lol. Theres no excuse for that as a T.O.
Short on set ups, not TOs fault. ZERO set ups; TOs fault. It was definitly not stressed that tournaments were needed this badly. Just a casual "if you want to bring a set up you can, and you'll get in free". Not "Bring a ************ing set up!!!!!". Which is how it should have been

i'm not going to say much about this tournament. this tournament was god aweful, and I ran the **** thing (I'm Webster). but hey we tried the best we could, and we had fun with what he had. OOSers don't let this tournament discourage you from coming to future events me and dark kakashi run. together we have ran over 20 tournaments in the past two years and this is the ONLY tournament that waz COMPLETE ***. that's pretty good if u ask me.
special thanks to those who did bring full set ups. for those that didn't bring set ups and could have, well i think maybe next time you should eh. yeah DK should have advertised that we needed set ups a bit better, that much is clear. but he tried to provide for a variety of fighting games. so one person can only do so much. people need to remember that it takes a community effort to be successful at community events.
to those who tried to help the pools/brackets i thank you. but because a variety of people kept messing with my computer/tio/brackets/whatever a lot of tournament brackets got all messed up. i dunno who did it, and i'm not gonna blame anyone. but i will enforce a "STAY AWAY FROM MY LAPTOP" rule at the next tournament hahaha.
alright, well it was really nice meeting a variety of new people. again i hope some of yous had fun. to be honest, i did. and the chinese food was surprisingly really good (even though i was up at 6AM and didn't get to eat until 8:30 pm), . DAYUM!!!
ggs to everyone.
