For the community, to bring a bunch of friends and competitors together. I didn't go to this, but I run quite a few tournaments myself. Most the time I'll enter or play a friendly if it's on a smaller scale, but once it gets to the national level a TOs responsibility is run a tournament.ChiboSempai said:
I have never seen any profit from the 30 or so tournaments I've run. 3 of them have been on a regional/national Taking money is just wrong in my book, if it's cash you're interested in being a TO might not be you're best bet. The aftermath of OC3 is a perfect example of what goes on when a TO is completely focused on running the tournament.
I dunno, but if you have to ask why do it, you probably shouldn't be in the business of TOing. I don't at all mean this as a personal attack, but running tournaments has always just been fun for me. I enjoy gathering a ton of players, seeing OOS players, and just helping people out. By the way there's nothing wrong with watching a matches unless the tournament needs to be catered to. However I firmly stick by everything else, on a national scale you shouldn't enter, profit, or play friendlies. Playing in the tournament impedes your ability to run everything, friendlies hold up the tournament, and taking money is dirty.

My boyfriend didn't make it out of pools ]: -sad-
This guy's got his priorities straight. <3
Modding your Wii prevents it from being stolen under wary eyes. If you knew Chu had a red Wii and saw someone else slip it in his backpack, you'd know what he's up to. Then again, nobody would even try something this risky, which is also a +.
Agreed on garbage system.

4. rush pools like crazy. like 1 hour tops
ROFL.
Do math.
Pools with 7/8 people in it will have roughly 25-30 sets be played depending on if anyone is DQ'd for no shows or whatever. Assume, conservatively, that it is 25 sets. Average set, conservatively takes 10 minutes on average (again, this is BEST CASE, chances are the average is closer to 15 minutes). 25 X 10 = 250 minutes = 4 hours and 10 minutes per pool using 1 tv. There were 32 pools. There were less than 32 set ups. This means that each pool at best will take about 4 hours to complete, probably closer to 5-6 hours, and then since at COT4 there were about 27-28 set ups, that there would still be about 4 pools that would have to be completed after the initial 4-5 hour period.
5. Skip seeding?
Did you not already read some of the *****ing about seeding? And you don't want any to occur?
There are things that could have been done better and at some point I will make a post about everything, but honestly there are a lot of people posting that simply do NOT understand the logistics of running a tournament.
I would also like to point out that teams pools should have been completed much faster and that the slow completion of teams pools was more on the fault of the players than Chibo. My pool, with me/others making everyone play their matches quickly, was done in LESS THAN 2 HOURS. 2 TV's, 6 teams, less than 2 hours. 2 of those teams even had to borrow controllers from other teams in the pool causing some small delays. We still finished in under two hours. Some pools took 4 (four!) hours to finish. This is inexcusable and the fault lies on the people in those pools being overall inefficient with their pool management.
Finally, the tournament actually ran decently well on Sunday but was mainly still in trouble because of what happened on Saturday.
Some of your suggestions are not completely off base (like finishing pools in under an hour, which is laughable with the logistics of COT4), like finding a back up venue, but others are completely naive.

when you promise a tournament and too many people show up, you have to make sacrifices to make it work.
so people will ***** about seedings and people being pushy. but it will still get done. you could have also done 2 sets of pools and saved a lot of time given the amount of set-ups.
edit: also don't play full sets just do 2 matches rather than 3 and pick advances by best ratio. also when everyone in the pool is at the set-up the matches don't take nearly as long. most of the time for sets is actually organization, not playing the matches themselves.
