meep and I are most likely to get knocked off the power rankings because we cant participate in this new tourney format at NCB.. yes?

Nope, not at all . It is only used to help determine some of the ranks, not to base them off of these.

 

[Art?]

Zhu and I both bought some for 20$(mine) 30$ his

you both should bring yours to the biweeklies.

 

[HylianLord]

mmm, but to use them, you need a computer with the driver installed and such. if someone would bring laptops i can install the driver on their laptop and we can record that way... or if ppl brought vcrs and gave me the tapes, i could upload them myself XD... but i won't be at a biweekly for a lonnnngggg time XD.

 

[MyKo]

Can you imagine stapling your...__________[4 letter word]

to your......[4 letter word]_________'s

....LOPLOPLOPLOPLOP ONLY SHERIDAN KNOWS THIS ONE LOL!!

[choknater]

results O_o how does this work

 

[Scamp]

Sheridan didn't you say you had some complaints to type up? I'd like to hear them. You can post here or PM me or find me on AIM. Or you can send me a letter the old-fashioned way. Just write "SCAMP" in big letters on the front and it'll get to me. Unless you forget the stamp, then it'll be sent back to you.


Once change that'll probably happen is that four people will move up from each pool instead of just two. This'll prevent having DE pools of six in the higher pools. This will tack on a few extra matches, unless I want to go hardcore with one-game pools. In any event, no word yet if the two people kicked from the upper pool get a chance to be one of the four, or if that'll only happen before the last round.

But I will work on pre-set movement. Like how a huge DE bracket will have "loser goes to A" on it. I'll have that for every pool, every round, designed to minimize the possibility of people repeating.

How about that?

I remember woot had gamebridges for sale during both of their past wootoffs. The last one was $8

It isn't that great. I bought it, and the quality sucks horribly. The sound lags, and so does the gameplay. For instance, when trying to SWD on a TV, you're going to have to do it much sooner by looking on it from the computer.

I can bring my laptop. Maybe Dec. 17

The quality is fine. Its very clear and useful for $25. The tv tuner works very well and Its good to play single player games on if you don't have a TV in your room. Also, you shouldn't be playing on it newayz, just use a vcr to record the matches on it. I use it for all my matches and im very satisfied with it

Hrm. What program are you using for it? As the only one I have available to me is the interhome video.

 

[froz3ntear]

im using the intervideo program also. whatever it came with... Maybe you didn't put the quality on best? When I record, its at 720xwhatever and its like really clean, and since most matches are just gonna be uploaded on youtube.. Its just as good as any of the matches on youtube... wont find any with better quality (check signature)

 

[froz3ntear]

eh stupid double post... sorry. glitched somehow =/

 

[Zoap]

i got a question scamp! lol

So umm like i was wondering why not do actual pools, instead of brackets and then take the two best records and move them up, the next two stay, and the rest fall. Besides TIME of course i mean. Just wondering if it would be possible, also this would allow lots of matches for each person and i believe this also would work out the flaws i saw of having to do 8 man brackets and seeding each one each time etc. Like i said b4 though do to time this is probably an undesirable way.

Ill prob ask u online anyways lol

Hmm. Maybe it's just my laptop. I'll try it on my desktop later.

 

[EnigmaticCam]

Anybody know a place to get a capture card for, like, $100? Respond. We should start recording videos.

I have an RCA->USB device that will record video. I can bring next time I come and record videos straight onto my laptop. Or we could just record the matches to video tape and I can bring them home to put on my laptop.

 

[Scamp]

Yeah Zoap you pretty much answered your own question. The only problem is time.

I think that for every tournament people would prefer to do a round-robin instead of double elimination, for all the reasons you mentioned.

If there is a NCT2-replacement tourney, I was thinking about a RR-pool system with winners pools and losers pools.

Hey Myko.

Listen to the cat.

 

[choknater]

i applied to SJSU! let's hope i get in!

 

[KILLA.FOR.CASH.]

Hey. Does Sjsu Require Good Grades To Get In? =)

I Might Want To Apply Too In Two Years. Or Uc Merced.

 

[choknater]

yeah, can someone help me out with that info too? i got an 1880 on the "new" sat which is pretty good imo, and i had full IB classes (just like AP for the most part, but not as abundant) and like 10 semesters of electives, which i got A's in. the bad thing is i got bad grades in the academic classes junior year (a few D's.... >_>) so i'm not so sure if i'll be accepted lol.

SOMEONE WHO GOES TO SJSU, GIMME INFO PLSXSXZS?

 

[mcc]

i dont go to sjsu but i found this: http://www.csumentor.edu/planning/high_school/grades_tests.asp

"Maintain A and B grades. This is especially important during the junior year."-quoted from the website. sucks for your D's lol

shouldn't be too hard though

 

[choknater]

lol that sucks :|

 

[KILLA.FOR.CASH.]

aw crap son! i guess ill just take summer school classes to make up my grades then.

 

[Mann]

D's count as fails in college. If you get a GPA of over 2.8, you should be able to be accepted into SJSU. But that was the year 2005.

Shouldn't you guys have already gotten information of the colleges you want to go into?

 

[mcc]

now it has to be 3.625 but that's if you don't take the SATs. if you get a 1600 on the SATs, you need a 1.625 GPA. and they don't count the writing portion of the SAT yay i hate writing

 

[Ian]

aw crap son! i guess ill just take summer school classes to make up my grades then.

get like a 2400 on SAT and they will want you?

 

[mike666]

weighted or cumulative? does anyone know?

 

[froz3ntear]

Same here... ****. i still needa finish applications.. I havent applied yet... gr...

 

[mcc]

weighted or cumulative? does anyone know?

i'm assuming weighted and cumulative from sophmore to first semester of senior year

 

[ProdigyKid]

weighted or cumulative? does anyone know?

Weighted of course. When you end up looking at average GPAs, theyre usually weighted. You can get up to 8 extra poitns to your GPA via AP classes

 

[bioalp43]

Dang....i am not going to be to biweeklies for a while because of wrestling season.....i might be able to go to one over winter break and the anvierssary one but then i am gone till febuary...

 

[mcc]

smash>everything else

 

[petoo0]

lol all of sudden college takes over the ncb thread.

 

[choknater]

xD yes, application deadlines are november 30 (tomorrow) so it's stress season.

 

[whiteboyninja]

actually guys, getting in to SJSU is a breeze if you have a good SAT. i got 1890 (just higher than you chok) and i got in with below a 3.0 GPA. my 1890 was in the top 5 percentile for sjsu students (most high SAT people go to more expensive schools) but my grades didnt really allow it. 2006 was a low applicant rate tho...so we'll see?

D's arnt good, but i literally failed my (not required, but suggested) spanish 3 class second simester of my senior year. sjsu is pretty lax. dont freak out if they dont send you a response for a LONG time though, because it took like half a year before i knew for sure i was in to sjsu...

uuuh...so if you get say like 2200 but you didn't get 800 800 on english and math they don't count it as 1600+?

 

[SuperRad]

SJSU is on my list of places to apply next year. but i also might try to go to someplace in socal (UCI, UCSD, etc)

 

[SuperRad]

uuuh...so if you get say like 2200 but you didn't get 800 800 on english and math they don't count it as 1600+?

they dont look at the writing portion at all. as far as i know it wont be looked at until 2008 (could be wrong on that).

d'oh!
