An update to our club...

When our club was tabling in the "Club and Organization Fair," we managed to get 60 sign-ups. Most of them have played melee a lot in the past while others play only Brawl but want to pick up melee for fun.

This is a dream come true for me because I love teaching people how to play melee semi-competitively while having good laughs.

However, do not expect these fresh people to enter into our upcoming tourney. I even advised them to only watch and play friendlies during the tournament so they do not get demoralized when they're only developing their skills at an early level.
^This.

Somehow you completely read my mind. Of course the question is whether or not I can get up at 12 to help setting stuff up. xD

Oh yeah, its the California Room right? Someone told me it was still in the Den. o_0
Those 10 steps between those buildings are huge differences. [/sarcasm]

Having them enter is fine, as long as there's a tournament format that doesn't involve them just getting 2 and outed.

Anyone... for.... Swiss!?

Personally, I recommend Swiss Round Robin into top 8 bracket, so that people get to play for like 4-6 rounds, and then get to watch the top 8 matches together.

Also, pools into a revival bracket might be fun too. Run pools, and then have everyone who didn't make it out go into a revival bracket for the remaining spots in the main singles bracket.

I have absolutely no experience running swiss round robin.

I'll do it if someone can help me =P

btw, yes it is in the California Room. I'm pretty sure that anyone who comes to the Den will hear the melee sound coming from the California Room.

I've never played in a swiss tournament. Sounds fun though. I'm totally down for that

It'll be interesting to see how I do today though. I went to every tournament last year and got 9th every time.

Can I make out with you JR? lol. And SFat like....just gave the victory to brandon because they were splitting anyway. He lost to me in winners, i think he beat bizz in losers, and then just gave the match to brandon. I could be wrong on that though. They were plottin! lol. Dam Brandon using that dam bird. hahaha. (yes phil, i am salty. <3 lol)

27 players + 1 Lv 9 Ganondorf to round it out = 28 man Swiss

For four rounds, we played a round robin, then we had 2 people who won 4 games and 7 people who won 3 games. The 2 people who lost the earliest in the Swiss played each other in a set to determine who moves into the 8 man bracket.

Then we played an 8 man bracket.

What'd you guys think? We ran into a little bit of time constraint, but we made it in the end.

****, this tournament was awesome. I was happy to meet lots of new players, see lots of new faces. I hope we made a decent impression, and were fun to play against.

Good luck with your club this semester, you have some nice people in your club who are definitely good players in the making(not to mention the good players you already have).

Also, Brandon. Holy ****ing mother of ****ing god. I've never seen you just turn the **** up like that. Switched gears into **** mode, seriously. Insane. Good ****.

It was probably the best UCM tournament we have ever had. I am pretty sure that everyone enjoyed it.

Special thanks to Violence for helping me run the tourney.

well basically

we all decided on who was gonna play jaime in losers cuz phil, me, zac, alan all came together and basically were gonna elimate each other

so they let me go so we can go home faster

the goal was to win, but i didnt really think i was going to at all

gg's to both jaime and to vince

when i play any of fta i just vision 2006 and just expect to ****ed up and i usually do, thats like one of the few times where i tried the best i can, and not worry about winning and losing

vince-for never playing and still being really good
jaime-for being good with DK
nick-for riding with me and letting me use his brand new controller which i ****ed up and dropped
bay area-for being cool to hang out with and to those who let me advance
bizz-for hosting the tournament
dunk-for being dunk


=D

Edit: and you guys spelled Tiger Ty wrong!, you can never mess up the good ol Tiger Ty's name, you might get Tiger Swiped!

Hey guys, I'm pretty good at this game. I use DK =D And I'll get all of you guys next time. lol. DK is not the problem, I am. You don't believe me? Go ask Taj/Axe/Scorpion king. If they can do what they do with worse characters, then I have no room to complain. lol
