I would but sadly there's not enough people from each area. We have to combine some area (Example: 909 with 949 or 818 with 805 etc) because easily SD have a stacked crew at home so yeah. If there is enough time, I think we can do it if not next time.

That!

This is a failed tournament if a ranked player makes it to semis! I would like to see people like Fiction,Westballz, Bizzarroflame, and LittleFumi up there!

Just a friendly reminder....


Please bring setups!!! The more setups we have, the faster and smoother the tournament will be! I dont wanna make it like the one UCSD Triweeklies where there's only 4 setups and people couldn't warm up! SD Step it up!

Someone brought this up in another thread, but initially, the entrants is charged a venue fee. After they make it out of pools, charge them the entry fee. This way, new players won't feel as discouraged since I know most people would never enter a tournament that they will be guaranteed to be eliminated during pools. :( If this idea is already too late to implement, then this idea can be tried out for the next Arcadian tournament.

so you're saying every single person in tournament, even the ones who take last in pools, expect to get out of pools? if everything had a mindset like that, everyone would ***** out on the tournys

is that avatar of lovage? it's so ****ing weird..

Thank you for giving me ideas and such, but I think after changing the rank rules, taking out late fee and such is good enough. You're paying $5 to play pools in singles. With doubles the person only have to pay an extra $2 to enter with a friend (who has to $2 as well) so just for 1 person to enter both events is just $7. I took out the late fee because I notice that people will be late because of summer school finals and such. I'm not going to charge people for trying to focus on school and for being late.

KFC if you make it, I'll have a KFC TV just for you so people can play you and you don't have to get off that tv (unless I need it for tournament of course)

My format will be like this:

(This is just a what if situation) So say we have 80 people:

Pools (top whatever makes it out depending on the size of the tournament.)
Brackets Round 1: Arcadians vs Arcadians
Brackets Round 2: Arcadians vs Spartan (Rank players)

my goal is to get 45-50 people entering this tournament and making sure that no Spartans enter Semis (This is the hard part)

After Arcadian 2, I will not host this kind of tournament again.

You should talk to Ben about hosting another tournament. Hopefully the incident at his last tournament isn't still preventing him from using the same venue.

I understand catering to the "Arcadians", but that doesn't mean it should be a priority to give "Spartans" such a disadvantage, where it's impossible for them to make it far. Handicaps are good for sure, but making it a goal to keep the "Spartans" from getting to semis kinda defeats the purpose imo. The "Arcadians" still gotta fight for it!

Anyways, I'd say limiting any ranked, or previously ranked players to low tier (maybe mid tier for previously ranked) is more than enough. I'd say keep it strictly to ranked / previously ranked too because this tournament is supposed to encourage the up and coming like Fiction, Bizzaro etc right? No need to impose random limitations.

nah the idea wasn't to ensure ranked players wouldn't make it semis. merely to hope that finals wouldn't come down to 2 ranked players at an event for unranked players. the whole reason why ranked people are allowed to enter at all (aside from they wanna play too) is so that the arcadians can have common enemies through out the bracket. No one is gonna root for say, Alex19 or Kira if they're playing Littlefumi or Bizzaro.

the idea is to give the underdog a fighting chance every time a worthy arcadian plays a spartan, while still not simply handing them the match. the current ruleset should hopefully level the playing field. If ranked players still win it, well phooey. I'll host another one in the future and tweak the rules. For this time though, I really do think the arcadians can pull it off. They just gotta believe!

arcadians are people who aren't and never have been ranked in any region. so currently bizzaro counts, but this tournament is happening a week after GREV which is also after the PR gets updated, so players like fiction and bizzaro are likely gonna be up there.

if any ranked/ previously ranked gets top 4 or better, then the tourneys a failure

You don't have to tell me twice.


If this tournament becomes a failure or not, I'll just host another one to fix and change it once again. I decided that I should one more to complete it as a trilogy series.
