I shall bring my laptop for tio purposes.

And I might make an exception and enter this one time.

Time to do hw, and learn how to do pools in tio.

And I better not see Delphiki swarming me while I help set things up.

...Is a burrito too much? Anybody? In case anyone doesn't know, when I host a biweekly I always take $5 out of 1st place prize so I can buy a burrito (for $4.95 exactly). Does anyone, like, seriously hate it when I do this, or anything? I'm just curious, is all.

Well, it's not the end of the world, but it's not a cool thing to do. If you take the 5 bucks out for food, then not enter, you're essentially taking ten dollars every tournament from the people who place 1-3. It's nothing thats gonna make anyone step over the edge and HATE you for it, it just makes people look down on you. I'm not saying anything negative, because I'm a neutral party, and you've helped norcal a lot by hosting a lot of these. The same thing can be said in your defense, but, its 5 bucks. Come on, don't be a cheapskate :-p. Everyone else pays the money to enter, then fronts their own money for food while they're there. You're pretty much getting a free ride the entire way.

well, i think you have to look at how much work kizzo puts in between setting up and putting stuff away. personally, i dont mind the $10 on principle, but it isn't coming from my winnings so I can't really say I'm the best party to weigh in on this.

Yeah I mean I'm sure the 1st place finisher could live without his/her $10, but it's the fact that it's $10 that they had rightfully earned and was taken from them. What I said was kind of a blanket statement though Kizzo, I wasn't directing that at you or anything. You and Mike have helped alot of Norcal improve, and I don't think we would be anywhere near as good as we are today (as a whole) without the NCB's :)

well if its a 32 man bracket it will most likely be 16 pools top 2 advance. But seeing as it may only be like 64 ppl it might be 8 pools of 8 wit top 4 advancing. Either or works.
mmm pools... this sounds like fun. pools of 8 with top 4 advancing sounds good. that'd be 8 pools meaning 32 ppl which works out. a pool of 4 ppl just seems weird xD.

wheee can't wait ^^.
yea but again its all dependent on the # of people that show up. My perfect example of 64 would just be miraculous.
If there are 8 pools of 8 then it'll probably be top 3 from each pool advancing.

If there's more than 64, we'll probably have to consider scrapping pools altogether.

All will be determined when we see the turnout.

If you want, ask me about this at the tourney. Maybe you'll get a math lesson!


Prodigy, if you bring a laptop that'd be awesome.

Kizzo, at least share some of the burrito. Sheesh.

If i somehow make it to this thing, I would love to team with you, KevMoney. As for you, Bob$, I've appointed myself the new president of your fanclub, seeing as I'm the last official member left in Cali. As such, I think it's only fair you MM me a bunch of times for $1 each :p

If I make it, depending on what means of transportation I acquire, I will do my best to bring a TV and my Wii, though I'm hesitant to haul around my baby (I gave my cube to a friend when I got a Wii :( noob move). Wish me luck in getting there, hope I get to play you guys.

Based on an e-mail I received minutes ago, Get Your Tournament's coverage has changed. We will be providing LIVE UPDATES of the team and singles competition from San Jose State University.

So stay tuned Saturday afternoon/evening to get your fix.

AND AND AND AND

I purchase a splitter (I think that's what it's called), so my capabilities to record videos has tripled. I do plan to record as many matches as possible. This is actually a test run; if all goes well, then I know I'll be able to do the same when the Mega Bowl rolls around later this month.
