UMK3+
Thank you SO SO much to EVERYONE who came out and made this a great time! We had lots of returning faces and plenty of new ones! We had our biggest turnout yet for the UMK3 main event, with 26 entries. Our newest event, MK2, had 13 participants, which is what we had for the one and only event our first year, in 2016.
One of the coolest things I saw was while we were gearing up for MK2+ on Sunday, a guy came from inside the arcade to see what was going on. He ended up playing in the MK2+ tournament, and you know what? The guy could hang! He stayed after the MK2+ event for quite a while, and was decent at both MK2 and UMK3. We also had a few people come from inside the arcade and spectate some of the events for a while, which was just awesome.
Overall, I think we had 30 or 31 people at the event between tournament entries. As for overall entries between 6 events, there were 86 entries. Not too bad! Lots of people playing multiple events.
At this point, I want to apologize for the unforeseen technical issues we had in the early going with some of the control configurations. Things went well during casuals Friday night, but it turns out the more controllers you connect/disconnect, the more finicky the software got. It ended up extending the event beyond what I would have liked it to. We usually wrap up the main event before 9 PM, but we went well past that. And, if in giving the details for the events in previous posts, I unintentionally set an unreasonable expectation that a 26 person double elimination tournament would only take 3 hours to run, I apologize. The plan was to have a few events running concurrently, staggering start times to fit more events in, and unfortunately it didn't go as well as I'd hoped. We had 2 stations setup to stream on, and we only ended up using one for the stream as we took losers bracket games off stream, mostly because there were a lot of people watching the event, and shuffling around between setups would wear people out.
Nonetheless, we had a total of $1000 pot bonus money that was given out to the winners of the events!
