i am getting there at maybe 9:30-10:00am if i get a teammate. if i don't, maybe 1:00pm

I would suggest getting there earlier than 1:00 p.m. even if you aren't going to play Teams.

From 8:00 a.m. to pretty much 11:00 a.m., you have friendlies. That's 3 hours of practice.

i cant tell if this is sarcastic <_<

but when you go to an airport, you want to get there early so you have time to go through all the customs/searching and ****. if your plane leaves at 9:30, you wanna get there between 6:30-7:30.

Same with NCT2, get there before your plane takes off.

You Probably Can Tell After IP Tracking Me.
The biggest most unorganized disappointing event i've ever been to

Why?

Could've advanced from my pool, but no, TOP 2 BECAUSE of the time schedule. This thing should've been a two day event, but instead, "You" rushed things to save your own *** and only good people got to get out.

20$ to get kicked out early? i feel like i don't even wana go to the next one. I probably won't make a difference from what i'm saying, but i know that the 2nd one will be JUST AS UNORGANIZED and ******** probably. More people = MORE TIME NEEDED and therefore that means a CUT DOWN on advancements again and some stupid cutoff time.

The rules were even unorganized, many people didn't even know the rules themselves:

"Stage to ban?" *And other questions* when there already WERE NO RULES except RANDOM ONLY

Wtf, i only found out after Kizzo randomly sat by and i had to ask him some questions.

I paid 20$ for complaints, i seriously would've stayed home to MS. Yeah "you should've done that then" instead, the tournament shouldn't even have been CREATED because of the knowing that it'll be closed early and stuff wtf, it..it was just all unorganized. No comments.

i just laugh that i wasted my money on this one. Ken and Forward and others had to rush at the end because of some staff members of the building were going to kick them out, threatening to shut down the tv's and stuff. Lack of time..no comments. if this thing was really well organized, Ken and everyone around wouldn't have to feel even the slightest pressure from the staff, actually, the staff wouldn't even be there if this thing was organized.

I'm just saying, i know others felt that this tourney was crap, not just me. It's not a lot for me to expect, but i'm going to say ORGANIZE THE NEXT ONE A LOT BETTER AND MAKE SURE ALL THE TIMES ARE 100% FOR-REAL/ACCURATE because this was a disappointment for many.

Myko, I think you should post that also in the NCT2 results thread, so more people, especially out of staters will see it. I totally feel the same way as you. I would have been 4th or 3rd seed in my pool.

Yeah, let's have a biweekly this week!

I've told a few people about this, and I'd like to have some sort of "ranking battle" for the sole purpose of getting a lot more matches in that can help with the power rankings. It'd basically be a 24 or 32 man format, where ultimately people play at least 9 matches with people around their relative rank. (People will go up and down the ranks based on how well they do. This doesn't mean they'll automatically shift in the power rankings but will have opportunities to play higher ranked people based on their performance.)

This is so we can have many meaningful matches per person at a biweekly instead of just one or two (or even less!) and people can prepare for it and get ready to show/prove their stuff.

But there are a few drawbacks...

1: It's not really a tourney so much, so it's not going to be for much money. I think most people (especially the people who don't think they can win) would be willing to pay five bucks for nine meaningful matches, and that money would most likely go to the players who would win the tourney anyway. I guess it's not that different from a tourney in that regard. Plus, someone ranked 32 can take first if they win all their matches. Unlikely but possible.

2: There is a person cap, so people below 24 or 32 won't get to play. But there will be friendlies and maybe a team tournament too. I haven't figured how long this will take.

3: If someone is NOT there, then we'll have way less information on that person's relative rank as opposed to everyone else around him. I say this is practically unavoidable because at any given tourney someone isn't going to be there, and we may as well get as much information as we can with the people we have. The power rankings aren't prefect anyway, and I like controversy.


I don't think we should do it this weekend, though I certainly wouldn't mind trying. It'd be good to give people advance notice so if they care about ranking they can prepare for the battle. Also, I haven't gathered everyone's opinion on it, so tell me what you think.

Oh, and have a bi this week. Thanks!
