yeah we got kicked out at 10, we usually have the venue until midnight or 1am
in addition, GOTM chibo and pakman did NOT contribute to our supply of TVs for various reasons, so we definitely had a shortage on that front, plus the scarmada suffered losses due to unknown reasons (one TV was just not working at all) and eggm brought 2 instead of his usual 3, which further worked to the detriment of the tournament
all of that aside the turnout was PHENOMENAL, everyone played their matches when they were asked to (for the most part..) and reporting went very smoothly, and we did end up finishing a 20+ / 60+ entrant tournament in about 8 hours total, which IMO is very successful
many many many thanks to Mogwai for running the entirety of pools and a large part of singles bracket, and to Rush for booking the venue and basically running teams (allowing hax and I to run train on *****es)

sure it was very well run, but there was hardly time for any friendlies once the tourney started.
The way it used to be was tourneys would always start pretty early. Teams would get started by 11am often times, and the whole day was used for the tourney, allowing time for friendlies instead of just enough time to finish a tourney. There was def a shortage of tvs. Being kicked out early kinda sucked, but not much u can do there.
What most importantly was missing was the finals. Winners and GF werent even played out. Its like all people go to these for nowadays is to collect a pay check. This game isnt supposed to be about money when its a **** local tourney.
I'm just sayin people have lost their tournament spirit.

oh def. i dont mean to sound negative, i just know that most people hold SPOC at a high level because it always delivers. If you want to keep a great reputation, than constructive criticism from those who compete is probably the best way to keep a tourney run as well as possible. Now if Scar isn't interested on keeping up the rep of this tourney, he can feel free to dismiss the criticism I've given.
I know most people go by the "If ya don't have somethin nice to say, than don't say anything" rule, but I like to think of myself as kind of a ****...so i'm just gonna do things my way.

I definitely agree that splitting is complete bull**** if time permits for the tournament to be finished.
eh, I've gotten over splitting in grand finals between people who play all the time, but what happened at this was straight up bracket rigging. refusing to play winner's finals until you know who's coming out of losers is just inexcusably lame and Scar or I should've made JMan and Cactuar at least decide who was forfeiting winner's finals hours before it happened.
And now that I'm thinking about it, this was a 60+ man tourney, which in this day and age is a fairly big deal. It's kinda a slap in the face to the people who traveled 4+ hours to play to win to just take your money and leave. Maybe you don't owe them anything, but ultimately, tournaments like this being epic is the only thing that'll keep them happening, so at least put on a show even if you're just gonna divvy up the cash afterward.
gah, I'm not gonna think about this anymore, that whole situation pissed me the **** off and it's not worth my time and energy to get pissed about it again.

wait, what happened?
tuar and jman decided to wait to see who should go to losers and fight who made it there, in this case tope made it, so whoever would be able to fight tope easier purposely went to losers?

honestly, no.
Jman wasn't feelin it, so cactuar was gonna go into losers. Tope had already been knocked out of winners by cactuar, so he asked jman if they could play it out since he'd probably be bitter going home not knowing whether or not he deserved second place. Jman won and then he and cactus split.
So really, nothing came of them waiting it out. Both Cactuar and Jman beat tope, who was the only one either of them would have to beat to get into GF.

I'd like to thank scar for running tournaments, still. Good **** *****.
Mog, not that it's any of your business what we do, but the agreement was that if HBK made it into loser finals, I would fight him, and if Tope made it, Jman would play. We did that because I had already played Tope. It wasn't a matter of who would be able to win easier, but to provide some variety in who played who. There wouldn't have been time to play out a grand finals either way, as Tope vs HBK didn't end until 10 minutes before we were supposed to stop.

if its really a problem just stop showing the brackets to everyone....
im pretty sure people dont care if you split...... as long as you just try at gfs. nobody wants m2k and mango falcon dittos or anything similar.

regardless of your intentions, choosing who forfiets to who based on who ends up in Loser's Finals of a regional tournament is not acceptable in my book.
and frankly, it's everyone who entered's business, they have a right to know what happened in the tourney.

False. You are investing 10 dollars for an opportunity to compete. Unless you are in the finals, it really is none of your business what decisions are made. There is nothing you can do to alter the decisions of those players. This has been something under discussion for a long time, and when it comes down to it, it is the decision of the players in that position to do what they want.
How about we discuss Scar's modifying the ruleset to benefit himself during Winner's Finals in teams.
Honestly, who really wants to see me and Jman play each other, knowing full well that we will just walk towards each other and ftilt.
The only one who has a right to complain imo is Tope, and if he really had a problem with it, he knows he can talk to Jman or myself about it.
The best thing you can do in this situation is to put a requirement in the rules, such as:
"Winner's Finals must be played out prior to Loser Semi's beginning."

jman knew all he had to do was definitively say no, he either
1) just figured it was actually fair bc they picked FD so fast and knew it was against the rules to do so
or
2) felt that if he didn't let me do what i wanted that i was going to take him outside and beat him up
i'm not sure if there's an option number 3 there but in the end he agreed to play r5 out on dreamland so clearly it wasn't that big of a deal to him
and i'm sure whatever you're trying to say is completely agreeable, but the phrase "it's none of your business" isn't really the way to make people see things your way, just a suggestion
IMO if it's anyone's business what you're doing it's mine as TO and mogwai's as TO because it is well within my authority at my own tournament to double-DQ you and pay out 3rd as if it were first if a match is not played out when it's called for no good/apparent reason, which i think would prompt some people to not come to the tourney but also increase the integrity of the system
@white mike yes they did but bracket-rigging (which is what it looked like even if it was not, considering winners finals was supposed to be played at MOST halfway through losers, and not closer to losers finals) is against the rules whether expressed or not
@jfox a few posts back i agree that SPOC should continue to be an awesome tourney and i appreciate the criticism, i was citing reasons for why i think it wasn't as good an experience as it has been in the past but i still think it was an above-average tourney, mostly because of how many people came out and from how far they came
edit: i'm just making observations, i'm not trying to fight or call anyone out on anything, i think that everything ran fine and i was very happy with the tournament, for appearance's sake i think it would have been a far better situation for the plan to have been openly discussed with everyone (at least Tope), and i in no way think that it's not the TO's business why a match that was called is not being played
splitting in grand finals is not what's being discussed it's postponing a called match for questionable motives that mogwai had a problem with
so anyways again i'm not trying to fight but clearly there are other forces at work here

DQing the top players for earning the right to decide to do what they want is a good way to get discredited as a TO. :thumbs up:
And I don't care what the situation is, if you ever joke about that second option around me, I'll take you outside and we'll have a word.
As I've said, if you don't want us to wait, just put that clause in your rules. I have no problem with that at all.
We play to the extent of the rules supporting the tournament. If you really wanted us to play or make the decision earlier than we did, you should have been more firm about it.

"they picked FD so fast and knew it was against the rules to do so"
You have got to be ****ing kidding me. We asked you guys and you agreed to it. If you realized your mistake in judgment right after that, you could have still quit out at the beginning of the match.
Regardless, right after that we disagreed to going back to DL, which we could do because that's part of the rules, and only ended up going back there because you threw a little ***** fit.
What's done is done, but I don't want to see that kind of **** happening anymore.
EDIT: That second option isn't ****ing funny. You shouldn't be making jokes like that about a minor who is half your size.

well it's a fairly common/understood rule that you play your match if able when the T.O. tells you to
that's most of what the T.O. is there for
edit: in fact, under the posted rules, I don't know why it wouldn't be subject to the Mages DQ rule (which is still a stupid rule IMO)

Um, no offense but you guys could have reset right after he picked FD again and said no. If they say no to you picking DL twice after you guys were push overs and didn't stop them...that's your fault.
And if what I heard was true and you complained after them saying no and threw a fit or abused your TO powers...that's wack.
IDK though cuz I wasn't there.
