TourneyPlay Portland - Dec 18th 2010 (NBA involved) - December 18th, 2010 - Portland,

Question for GC Guy:

If I pre register for Melee, and then when I get to the event I decide I want to play Street Fighter as well, can I just pay 10 dollars at the door and register for an additional event?

 

[GameClucks]

@AlienAllen - Exactly.
Registering for an event now (or soon) helps lock your NBA ticket in, or in the case that the 50 guaranteed ones get claimed, then it gets you in the raffle for the other 150ish a 2nd time.

So get registered NOW for the event and you can add additional events at the door. But register now and get the ticket at least!

 

[AlienAllen]

I just pre registered and I have some questions.

First, I didn't have the option to choose which event I was registering for, do I just tell you at the event?

Second, I didn't input any information except my paypal account. How do you know that I am payed for?

 

[Eggz]

also curious ^

 

[GameClucks]

I get a printout from PayPal with your name, $$ amount, etc... so I know.

 

[Dragoomba]

Is this worth traveling OOS to? (Idaho)

If I understand what M2K is saying, if the attendance is good, then it can be considered a major and more people would travel to this nation-wide? I would love to have a major less than 10 hours from Idaho.

 

[GameClucks]

Yes its worth traveling too!!

Melee People do some math folks!!
$30 for Melee 1v1... means $15-$20 per entry goes to Prize Pool...
Its not split like Brawl is between 1v1 and 2v2... its all Melee 1v1.
50 people enter Melee as a primary event... 50 x $15 = $750. If venue costs come in lower then expected, then it could be $15-$20 per entry to prizes... so $750 - $1000 prize pool for Melee with 50 people.

 

[wolfFlash]

Sounds like a huge event!!
Melee and Street Fighter FTW

 

[GameClucks]

Prize Pool Guarantees:
100 for Brawl = $2000 total (1v1 + 2v2)
200 for Brawl = $5500 total (1v1 + 2v2)
100 for Melee = $2000 for 1v1
200 for Melee = $5000 for 1v1

Product Prize Totals as of 11/18/10 = ~$7000

(EDIT - had math error in prizes, didnt drop too much though)

 

[Jem.]

Possibly teaming with M2K for brawl =)

 

[wolfFlash]

Prize Pool Guarantees:
100 for Melee = $2200 for 1v1
200 for Melee = $5500 for 1v1

Nice !!!

 

[Asa]

hype

idaho come to this

 

[GameClucks]

Prize Pool Guarantees:
100 for Melee = $2200 for 1v1
200 for Melee = $5500 for 1v1

Nice !!!

Had math error in prizes... so they went down a little.. -$500 at the 200 player level and -$200 at the 100 player level. SORRY on that.

 

[B0x]

How many people are confirmed?

 

[GameClucks]

Dont know right off and I do not have it broken down by game so far... I have about 50 actual paid registrations and about 100 commitments that I expect 75-80 of them to be 95% confirmed.

I am getting 5-10 registrations per day the last 3 days though.

Also Halo and Call of Duty are the least likely to register online, actually thinking it through, I do not think i have officially got a single CoD team registered, but last event for COD was 18 teams so not too worried.

The simple point is, if you are coming REGISTER ONLINE, online reg vs door reg = bigger ability to plan prize pools and bigger %age of entries going to prize.

 

[Mew2King]

if anyone wants to donate 100 dollars ill spend all night training them and also team with them

 

[wolfFlash]

if anyone wants to donate 100 dollars ill spend all night training them and also team with them

Wow! Really? Any skill level?

 

[Mew2King]

Actually **** it tickets are 500 RT -.-

if anyone is gonna give me a buddy pass to go to this or help substantially with my ticket somehow then I will be going AND team with whoever helped me out. Otherwise 500 RT is just too expensive :/

whoever gives me a **** plane ticket will get me as their teammate and free training FOR AN ENTIRE day telling you everything you did wrong and I'll make you super good. Otherwise it's not financially worth it to go for me unless someone would do that for me.

 

[GameClucks]

Just added Dust Off to the sponsor list and working on a cash sponsor... most of that cash sponsor will go to SSF4 as that is what they are interested in, but will try and slide some of it into Smash.

Also adding ST and 3S to the event I think...

 

[GameClucks]

Adding HDR and 3S as side events.

REGISTER ONLINE if you are going to this!!
Some of you KNOW you are going, so register online... the longer you wait the less goes to the prize pools... I have a sliding Venue fee that is tried to Online Registrations (which is tied to # of tickets on the promo)

By waiting to register you screw only yourself in the form of prize pools and fewer NBA tickets.

REGISTRATION CHALLENGE FOR TP PORTLAND
I have a sponsor who just put out a challenge!!

They will donate $250.00 in Prize Money to the Event that gets the MOST Online registrations between
2:00PM Thurs Dec 2nd and 11:59PM Wed Dec 8th (PST Time).

Minimum Registrations to win will be 10 Registrations for the specific event.
So one event has to break at least 10 Online Registrations to qualify.
That means you all have 6 1/2 days to REGISTER and get at least 10 for YOUR game to lock in this Bonus Prize Money!

 

[GameClucks]

So Melee does not care about bonus prize pool money I guess....
One reg during the contest time so far for Melee...

 

[AlienAllen]

Come on Melee people, Register! This is going to be huge!

 

[GameClucks]

We are now 36 hrs from losing $250 in free prize money from a sponsor.

We are only a couple days from venue fee going up also which means less prize money, due to lack of actual paid registrations.
So Guaranteed prizes pools will be revised downward by a signif amount due to venue fee increase which is directly related to lack or registrations which is directly related to the ticket promo. Registrations = More Prize Money. I have said this in various places from the get go.

So register online ASAP.

I am glad prize pool money does not seem to matter to anyone, so no one will complain at the lack of payout. I am glad to know that, I should revise the GC Monthly payouts so I make money, since you all are so willing to give up $250-$500 in prize pool money.

 

[GameClucks]

WOW...

Setups for Melee needed.

SSF4 has likely won the bonus money... now Friday is the date. Register by Fri else everyone loses money on this as Venue Fee has to be locked in with online registrations... and we are about 20 short of the goal for the ticket promo.

 

[PandaMageMaltDrinka]

m2k training = ****

 

[GameClucks]

So far I have about 3 TVs and 2 Game Cubes for Melee... Melee needs t step up and bring some things...

 

[MasterC]

i'll bring a setup or two GC guy, maybe one tv and two cubes but i'll let you know by Friday...

 

[porc]

Is there a melee livestream for this ?

 

[Gamer_Mason]

I had a fun time. I kinda wish I beat Tuen but that just wasn't going to happen. Dang Meta.

Streams still going on and I'm home. Lot of time was left I guess. I just figure that as time progresses, the brackets would progress too. But no, apparently the matches exponentially take longer because both players survive until crazy%.

 

[metalreflectslime]

Results for Melee! Were any videos recorded?

 

[Binx]

I hear there may have been some recording set ups, if you have any matches with melee ice climbers in them it was probably me I only play the blue and pink color. If I am in any of these recordings I would really appreciate it if you guys could send me them, i can give you an email or you could upload them on file planet or whatever if you wanna contact me the best way is through the SWF private message system, thanks.

 

[KAOSTAR]

Results for Melee! Were any videos recorded?

1 Silent wolf
2 Bladewise (lost to eggz and silent wolf)
3 Eggz lost to (sW and BW)
4 Salepate <--A tight *** Marth main from France. [Lost 2-1 BW marth-peach][Lost 2-0 Silent Wolf marth-fox][Beat Kaostar 2-1 marth-mewtwo][Beat Blunted Object 2-0 marth-falco/fox]

5 C!Z (lost to BW and BO)
5 Blunted Object (lost to Silent Wolf and Salepate)
7 Kaostar (Lost to BW and salepate)
7 Binx (Lost to BO and C!Z)

idk after this

and we had recording available but most matches werent recorded. sucks cuz there were some good matches. I think grandfilnals and semis were recorded but Im not sure.

 

[Binx]

Yeah I lost to Blunted Object 2-0 but I felt good about my games, ciz went down to last stock IC vs his Marth match one, game 2 I think I 2 stocked or 3 stocked his Fox on PS then he beat me with his Fox on rainbow cruise last stock low percent. All in all a very good set that Ciz deserved to win.

 

[Jem.]

fun tournament, gg's everyone i played. thanks chris for hosting, etc

 

[Gamer_Mason]

I played a lot of matches against a guy whose name-tag in game was "N". Not "2N", who I also played a lot of friendlies against, but just... N. I figured someone would know who he was? He used Meta Knight and beat me pretty badly a lot.

 

[BladeWise]

Nerd, probably
