FINAL ROUND XV Planning and Discussion!

So who on the staff is going to make it to this? Any NE guys? I was really hoping you'd guys come down and help run some UMK3 or something. I am definitely going to be there this year and I won't have time to organize or run anything. I'll just be there watching and playing, at least that's how it looks right now. I really think this is going to be a big MK tournament and big event in general. I hope everyone who plays MK will show up, and it looks like A LOT of killers are coming. I'm gonna hype of the event as much as possible and I know you guys will too.

I know Pig has been talking to Larry (ShinBlanka) about MK9. So it seems a lot has been and is currently being ironed out. I need to talk to Pig about some shit still but everything is looking good so far. I don't know if you guys saw Pig's video but it's really informative about Final Round XV. I also think Pig should be added as TO for SE just so he can see this thread.

[MENTION=1]STORMS[/MENTION] [MENTION=58]9.95[/MENTION] [MENTION=255]Shock[/MENTION] [MENTION=9821]Dark_Rob[/MENTION] so they see this. make pig a TO & whats the status on VSM coming?

 

[Shock]

I think...CD Jr and REO? I have had so little time to do any planning for anything lately, even the little tournament I'm trying to run I haven't been able to shape up right.

 

[Juggs]

[MENTION=1]STORMS[/MENTION] [MENTION=39]ZAQ[/MENTION] can you give Pig of the Hut TO status for the SE? He's been working on FR and talking to Larry a lot and he's been really helpful. Plus I need him in this thread.

 

[STORMS]

done and he's aware

Hey Juggs and Storms thanks for setting me a tournament organizer. Appreciate it

Juggs, Im down for discussion anytime or about anything. Right now Im trying to figure out the following:

Can I get uncapped data for a 4g CLEAR or any other 4G device to stream POOLS mk only

Regardless if I can there seems to be a big push by Dominicans, Morty, 16 bit, PL and others to get us to change ti back to where pools are spread out fri and sat and have top 8 on sunday through team Sp00ky . Their main concerns is that going through the GAUNTLET of the list of players attending all day and then doing top 8 could just prove to be too much for some as well as the amount of sand bagging from fri-sat. If we can get some pools out of the way this will alleviate that and allow people to relax and have more fun.

Either way I want to make sure we have an absolute sure fire guarenteed plan of how we are going to stream MK which is one of the reasons all of MK was moved to Sunday. I understand the top players concerns as well as everyone else who has voiced their opinion and I wanna respect their concerns so everyone coming is taken care of.

So this week I'll get the stream ironed out and hopefully tested in the venue by next week.

Lord of the fly has a sponsership (sort of LOL) with CLEAR 4g so im trying to see how we can use this effectively.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Just talked with Shin Blanka

MK9 will DEFINITELY be on Sunday pools and top 8

the only other option would be ALL POOLS on friday however we'd be given a shit amount of setups and probably go into 3-4am and the other problem with this is the fact that people have already started their planning and he doesnt want to move things around.

Saturday is full beyond belief and he has said 100x nothing will happen on Saturday.

Things changed when Atlus forked a $1000 pot bonus for KOF13 also NEC had 51, SCR had 80+ entries for KOF so they see growth there especially w the pot and pre registers and they have to account for this.

Best case scenario is all of MK9 to be Sunday

I'm still looking into the 4g option so we can possibly have 2 streams for Pools for MK on sunday. I want as much coverage as humanly possible

 

[Evil_Riu48]

pig at what time would be the pools starting on sunday because i really don't know what to do i was thinking about drinving there friday and driving back sunday but i guess that will not be posible anymore so i guess i would have to fly there saturday and fly back sunday because i have to work monday

Pools will run w 6 setups and POOL A will start @ exactly 10am no later

He's told be there will be most likely 4 pools each running 32 man brackets

I'm thinking roughly this is what to expect :

POOL A 10-12
POOL B 12-2
POOL C 2-4
POOL D 4-6
top 8 7-9pm

I don't think each pool of 32 will take 2 hours at all w 6-8 setups LOL

But I'm saying this to be safe

Wish i could be there just to help...but a lil advice from me :

Be ready for a large amount of people but always expect less lol. 4 pools of 32 would be great (but have even that many peoples regged so far?)

Make sure you buy a megaphone (or 2-3-4 of them) and have 3-4 dedicated people to helping you run pools. And of course, have fun.

 

[Juggs]

Sounds good Pig. It seems everyone will just need to be ready to play Sunday all day.

I don't know if this is the final time table, but once it is established you MUST stick by it no matter how early the pools get done. You can't have people scheduled for say pool B starting at Noon be dq'd because you started the pool early and they weren't there yet.

I can't tell you what a relief it was at EVO to know when I am to report to my pool and play then once I made it out of my pool, to report back at 6pm. I didn't have to wait standing around all day like SF4 in 2009. This is HUGE and must be handled this way seeing as MK is all day Sunday and people will start to get exhausted.

Pig Of The Hut Glad you finally saw this, Piggy

btw moved those 3 threads. fyi.

Thats also why we need a Tourney Chatter forum. leave the actual events in the events thread, but MM's, who's riding/rooming with who etc etc needs its own space imo. If you agree, TELL STORMS! lol

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

yea it was weird creating threads there, i think people will have problems/confusion w this in the future

thank you!

Still doesn't make sense to me... that's why the tournament forum is there! lol If we did things that way we'd have a sub-forum for MM's, room arrangements, etc... I'm all about what makes sense and it best for users but that I still do not understand. lol

the events forum is for event threads, not like NEC12 and its main thread plus 7 or 8 seperate threads. so if every big tourney is gonna make for a handful more threads, they shouldnt take up space for other events imo.
