Play N Trade Tourney in Charlotte, NC

[JMan8891]

Thx *runs to go try out*

 

[East]

Ugh... so got to training today and one of the training staff [essentially my manager's manager] told me that attendance at meals was mandatory. I know this doesn't sound like much to you but Friday I'm supposed to have free time starting at 3:00 pm, which was when I was gonna use travel down to pineville and see if I could get some playing time in, and probably grab dinner at steak and shake before heading back. Now that I have to be back at the university at 5:30 pm for dinner I'm not sure how do-able it is to even go to pineville anymore, considering the lynx rail thing takes 45 minutes from pineville to uptown charlotte [I also have to factor in waiting for the train if it's not their both ways...] We might get out early though, so I might be able to go down there are 2-ish and possibly get in a few friendlies, cause I'm probably not able to stay long enough for the entire tourney. I'll just have to play it by ear when the day comes. The only reason that attendance at meals is mandatory is because they're paying for it and they want to get their money's worth. I offered to pay them the average cost of a single person but they wouldn't take that. So much bull ****...

Obviously you need to just come to the Tournaments at Gamer's Edge every Thursday.

You have no excuse.

 

[Sushi-Man]

East: If you leave around 5ish, you MIGHT be able to make the entire tourney. Even if you can't, you will have fun with the friendlies.

Lulz, you really should, there are tons of cool people there. I guarentee you'll have a good time and you'll have plenty of people to play at the end :D
Btw. is it still FD only?

How likely is it that if we show up at 5 we'll be able to enter. A few people from clemson are considering going but its about a 2 hour drive so its going to be tough getting there by 3 with school/work.

I don't know about that. I think the tournament will END about five. If you come around five, you can always stick around for friendlies

Kack: Yeah. FD only is still the rule. Sorry about that but I don't create the rules

 

[kackamee]

Meh, I guess I shouldn't complain, but variety is part of what makes tourneys fun :/

 

[Sushi-Man]

Kack: I was kinda mad about that rule as well, but fd is still a pretty good stage.

 

[Criosphinx]

FD is alright assuming you don't match up against a falcon or a Pit, sure. Unfortunately, the idiots at PnT don't care as long as they get paid.

Fortunately, I personally know the manager and about 3 employees, so I am trying to get them to listen to reason.

 

[Sushi-Man]

Criosphinx: If you cound change the stage, it would be greatly appreciated

 

[East]

@Ryanarius: You go to Clemson? Do you by chance know a fella by the name of Jon Bacot [pretty sure I spelled his last name wrong] asian fella. Not sure if he plays up there but he goes there now and I know he used to play melee. He by chance comin up?

@Criosphinx: Where is gamer's edge at? I'm without a car up here so transportation is kinda limited to walking distance, trolley in uptown, or the light rail train thing. I'd love to come though if I can make it.

Atleast add in Yoshi's island Pl0x

Japan plays just final destionation and it works fine. The biggest difference is diddy kong is a lot better but still not metaknight/snake good.

A final d only tournament is a nice change from the normal counterpicks. I'm probably not going to make it to this but I think a few clemson people will.

 

[Criosphinx]

@ East: Gamer's Edge is in South Carolina, in Fort Mill. I wouldn't exactly say walking distance, it's about 15 minute drive from Pineville.

@ Ryanarius: I'm very pensive to try playing a projectile spammer on a totally flat stage; Even as a character who can heal himself, it's a tough pull. Battlefield or Smashville are far more fair.

You are still coming to Edge this Thursday, right?

 

[Ryanarius]

I think so but I'm not sure. With 5 dollar pot buy in even if I do win I doubt prize money will pay for gas but I like to play new opponents so its worth it anyways.

edit: @east I don't know him but khai (another clemson smasher) does.

 

[lord karn]

I might come to this depending on how close it is.

 

[chckn]

Just pick falco and win!

 

[lord karn]

Just pick falco and win!

Maybe I will do that.

 

[Sushi-Man]

Lord Karn- I heard you are really good in brawl. We need people like you over there instead of some 7 year olds.

What is the expected turnout?

 

[Sushi-Man]

Turnouts are huge in Play n Trade tourneys. Last tourney had about 50 people.

 

[lord karn]

Well I will likely be there then. I need to win back money I lost last weekend at Jubilee.

The rules in the first post say it may be single elimination. When will you know if it is or not? Single elim sucks so much.

 

[Dr Peepee]

I know what you mean bro. I could use some cash myself. Maybe next one I can go...
Go get em Karn.

 

[Sushi-Man]

Lord Karn: Unfortunately, I can't determine whether or not it is single or double elimination until the day of the tourney. The TO said if there are tons of people, he will make it single elimination and if there are not so many people, he will make it double elimination. Sorry, but the number of participants plays a huge role in the rules.

If there are people known to be good, is there going to be any seeding? Me and my friend want to come, but if it's single elim it would suck to fight each other early on, eliminating the chances of us both winning money.

 

[kackamee]

W00T! Karn is coming, another good person for me to play

 

[zCasanova]

Karn, you're shooting way too high--these tournaments don't have anything like that. I doubt if the employees even know what seeding is. However, I have heard for a fact that it will be single elimination, possibly five stocks. These things aren't very organized, the only thing good about PnT tournaments is the amount of people that come and sign up for them, which means more money in the pot.

 

[Sushi-Man]

Lord Karn- No seeding man. These playntrade tourneys are usually played by casual players who have no idea what the real rules are. Sorry about that. It would be bad luck if you and your friend got pitted against each other in the beginning.

 

[East]

but I mean really, what are the chances of that happening? Isn't seeding usually done randomly or as people sign up? Chances are that one of you would eliminate each other in the rounds like the top 8 or below. Don't want to be the pessimist, but on the flip side luck provided you do both win money : )

As a small update, if I keep getting out of my training earlier than expected, I might be able to come friday. I got out of training like 2 hours early today, hopefully it'll keep up. *crosses fingers*

Seeding is done by skill level if I'm not mistaken.
@Karn, seeding is overated anyway >.>
:/ I'm starting to get nervous

 

[zCasanova]

I might actually be able to make this, who knows what the entry is going to be? $15?

 

[Sushi-Man]

@zCasanova: Yeah its 15 dollars. 5 for door fee and 10 for pot.

 

[Dagani]

A heads up, in light of connections with employees/management, we are trying to talk the manager into coming to the GEC tourney on Thursday to see how to properly run one. We've also given him a copy of the SBR rules and are trying to convince him that using a random, pulled-out-of-your-*** ruleset will turn off many players who would otherwise gladly come to a tournament as frequently as PnT will host them.

Fear not, I feel we will sway them to the side of reason.

 

[Sushi-Man]

Dagani: Thanks a bunch man. This will definately attract more players and makes this tourney that much more enjoyable. I owe you one.

 

[BEHR]

IM kinda interested in this too.


Dont know how I will get to Charlotte tho.

And schools almost starting for me.



How often do you have these?

 

[Sushi-Man]

BEHR: The playntrades in Charlotte are not very common. I'm pretty suhis is their 2nd one since brawl came out.

 

[BEHR]

I dont know im thinking about it. :3

So I'll see if I'll come. :3

 

[kackamee]

:D I'm too ready for this

 

[BEHR]

I dont know If I come im defiantly going to Rest somebody. o 3o;
