ATTENTION ALL S'TOON RESIDENTS AND ANYBODY ELSE WHO CARES:
I'm JcReans, formerly known as "Temper" or something like that on this thread, and I'd like to inform you about an event I'm planning.
The (Name Pending) Tournament is one that I will be organizing to complete a semester long research project that I have taken for school. I won't bore you with the intricacies of my topic, so I'll state the basic facts.
When: Thursday, April 18th 2013. Tournament will most likely be starting at 7-7:30 PM, time to be confirmed soon.
Where: Hi-Tech Game Traders (Acadia and 8th) game room, Saskatoon, SK.
What: Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition: v2012, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Smash Bros. Melee. If tournament feedback is good, I'll be open to suggestions for game changes and additions.
Who: Hopefully as many people as I can get, and it will be mostly all handled by me.
Why: Read above. Long story short, my project revolves around brackets, and how they affect the outcome of fighting game tournaments. Also, start up a bi-monthly, or possibly weekly tournament series, which has always been an interest of mine. Also, from what I've seen, it seems like the smash community here really needs a boost, because I know there are still people who play these games, and just need an incentive to get out there and play.
How much: Venue fee will be announced very shortly, I still have to converse with the owner for a group deal, as the current rates are a bit steep. Tournaments will be $10 a person per tournament. The pot will be split 70%-30% or 70%-20%-10% depending on turn out. Also, anyone who is able to bring a Xbox 360, Gamcube, or game to the tournament, will have their Venue fee reduced or dropped.
So, I would love to receive some feedback about the event, and whether or not you'd be interested in attending! If you have any advice to give to a novice at this sort of thing, feel free to drop me a PM, or add my gamertag: JcReans. After I've gotten more of the particulars down and set, I'll post a separate thread about the event, and hopefully get some more isolated feedback and whatnot.
Sincerely, JcReans
