Kansas, Iowa, Missouri Brawl Circuit Thread! UPDATED 3/12/10

[Cook]

Well, I already talked to Rauleen about it last night, she seemed fine with one in St. Louis, one in Kahoka.

 

[Radium88]

What Cook said. Although I wasn't at the last Kahoka tournament, I heard good things plus SLUMBER PARTY!!! We can all paint each others toesies and ****. Anyways, first one would probably be in StL. Hopefully I get the same venue.....


@ Trent: Awwww....cutest Sonic pic evar!

Well, I already talked to Rauleen about it last night, she seemed fine with one in St. Louis, one in Kahoka.

If that is the case then we should keep in contact for the tournament date. Rauleen, Rebecca and I have yet to discuss which state will be holding the Championship event. We should know fairly soon though. Once the decision has been made the other two states can make their pick on their month to host.

Fino is banned. I am posting for him at his request and filtering out unnecessary content.

Imo the championships should be in KS. The championship event should be the one that gets the most attendance, and KS usually gets TX and OK to come, which really boosts attendance. I don't think IA or MO can pull off that sort of out-of-region participation.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

and i think the perfect place to host such an event would be JCCC, the only issue being housing

I would be happy to host but I will be at K-State at this time.

I MIGHT be able to let people stay at my house but idk yet. Too far off to tell

 

[Cook]

I was thinking more along the lines of Wichita, since they have more housing... though Kahoka has infinite free housing!

 

[Stealth Raptor]

the venue at jccc is easily the best venue in the MW though it really deserves it, but its only big problem IS housing though :/

 

[Dnyce]

Poll is up. Please vote on where you would prefer the Championship event to be held.

EDIT: FYC ChiboSempai's vote will not count for the poll.

 

[CT Chia]

Yes it will, I hate Missouri and Iowa

 

[Trent]

I vote Nebraskah.

 

[Cook]

Yes it will, I hate Missouri and Iowa

Is it because you lost to a girl from MO?

I thought this was a Kansas, Iowa, Missouri circuit-- are we trying to make it a multi-region one now?

yes it will, i hate missouri and iowa

 

[MJG]

I think Cook is just thinking about the championships from last year, which had TONS of Out of Staters at NKv2

 

[Cook]

Yeah, not that it is meant to be a big multi-region circuit, but I think it's nice if the championships have the most attendance, and KS probably has the ability to get the most attendance, even if it isn't from within the tri-state area.

 

[Nicole]

I have voted for Kansas, soley based on the assumption that it's in Kansas City. That seems like a very nice central location for everyone involved in the circuit. Even OOS-ers wouldn't have too far to drive if they wanted to come up/down/over.

 

[Mr. Doom]

I concur. If anyone from TX or OK wanted to come to this, they could just make a pit stop in Wichita, and then they travel up to Kansas City.

I agree that the most central location is probably the best one.

 

[Trent]

The most central one is Omaha, since that's the middle of the ****ing country.

lulz

Omaha, Missouri does not seem like a central location.

 

[Yink]

I spoke with Fino about an event being held in Iowa, and ngamer3k and myself were talking about it and I think we'll end up hosting one in Iowa City as one of the two Iowa tournaments. Joker will of course host an event.

Does this sound good to anyone?

 

[L_Cancel]

oh snap O: I might come to this.

 

[Tmacc]

I agree with Kansas City. I think that would be the best.

Poll'd.

 

[Ratman]

i think i can speak for everyone when i vote for Wichita ! =]

 

[Dnyce]

The poll will stay open until the second event. Afterward I will have a new poll open for the weekend that works the best for everyone.

 

[Dnyce]

I was planing on keeping the poll up longer; however, after talking it over all the city/state hosts have been added for the whole circuit. Tournament threads will be added as the come forth.

 

[Trent]

Don't make any of the tournaments July 31st, August 7th, or November 6th and I should be able to make all 6.

 

[MJG]

Don't make any of the tournaments July 31st, August 7th, or November 6th and I should be able to make all 6.

Tournament dates will be decided by the hosts of each KS/IA/MO state and it will be set based on their best judgement for the tournament taking place in that state.

No tourney date will be made to please ONE player.

//afk

 

[Stealth Raptor]

thanks for your input trent, ill make sure we get some on those dates :D

 

[Dnyce]

SLAST is already in the OP for being on July 10th.
I need to talk to Joker and secure August 21st for their host. It is the only date that does not conflict with a national tournament.
EDIT: Iowa has already confirmed November 20th for their second event.
You should be good! Remember, there is only 1 event a month.

When will we know how team points will be split IF a team decides to split up mid-circuit?

I believe in the MW-W circuit, the points were reset. In my opinion that was a great way to work it.

 

[Tmacc]

Yeah, it would be great if it could be explained in a *tad* bit more detail how the teams points will work. Does the team have to be together the whole circuit to get points, or are teams points awarded individually?

Individually would be sketchy imho.

I think that if teams split, too much could take place. For example, let's say person A (we'll use me for example) teams with person B (we'll use Fino for example) for 3 tournaments and person A teams with person C (we'll use MJG for example) for 3 tournaments. Let's also assume that 4rce takes top 3 at all 6 tournaments. If points are individually split then 4rce would have 6 tournaments worth of points and Fino and MJG would have 3 placings worth of points PLUS where ever they placed without 4rce. Basically, 4rce has the possibility to place for the circuit money twice BUT Fino and MJG may have zero.

Third person is kind of fun.

 

[MJG]

EDIT: nvm...

 

[-Tempest-]

Hrm... I might be able to swing the first event. Let me work out some details.

Anyone want to team up? I'm hammering out my Zelda game by leaps and bounds.

 

[Hylian]

This should still be called the Triforce Circuit >_>.

 

[Nicole]

I think teams points should be individually given out. It would be gay for me, personally, because the guy I'm teaming with for the first event or two is leaving to go back home to Maine. Other people may not want to team with the same person for every event either, or may not be able to team for every event because one of them can't attend/wants to team with someone else.

It's dumb to punish those who can't or don't want to team with the same person and reward those who can/do. That's my 2 cents.

Even though this doesn't apply to me, I enjoy and support Nicole's opinion, to an extent.


However...


I have a few concerns. First, what happens if one person places twice for circuit points? Granted it's a long shot, it's still in the realm of possibility. This just seems too abusable in my opinion. I mean, let's say the top 2 teams at SLAST decide to mix up the teams by one person and still manage to consistently place top 2 at the following events. That would be two separate teams with roughly the same points in the end. The top 4 teams in the circuit would be the same four people. That would be disgusting.

Also, giving out team points individually is unfair in my opinion. This is because, let's use myself, Fino and MJG as examples again. I team with Fino for 3 tournaments (including the championship) and take 5th at all 3. Then I team at the other 3 with MJG and place 7th all 3 times. This implies that Fino and myself will have more combined points BUT Fino did not EARN the points that I won with MJG nor did I EARN the points Fino gained without me.
