Iowa Monthly Tourny

Hey guys just wanted to let you know we have a group of people getting together for monthlies in the Cedar Rapids area. It is ran by Xiang from the SRK forums. To keep up on it visit this thread. He just held a tourny today and it was a blast! Get Over HERE!

Hey, guys. So, like CriticalBits said, I throw a monthly that has been pretty good thus far. I've been in the community a long time, primarily with Tekken, but I've been on SRK about the same length of time. It's gotta be creeping up on a decade in the competitive scene and on the boards. Today's tourny was our 2nd with MK, and people seem to be liking it. I personally hate Marvel, which was bringing the numbers, so I picked up MK and will continue to run it at the tournies. I'll post it up here the next time we throw our monthly. It'll probably be Aug 20 or so.

Aside from our monthlies, we're also throwing a major in Sept. Here's the initial post:

It's definitely something you all should consider since it'll be fairly large (we're hoping at least 100 turnout) and they're really fun whenever we do them. Kind of like the monthlies, I've taken it upon myself to start doing them, so I expect to have the majors more consistently, too. At some point in the next couple of days, I'll post this event up on TYM, too.

In any case, we should organize some weekly gatherings or something for those who are close to the CR area. We already have a few players here who I think would be down. Just gotta nail down a time and place.

Haha I am, I'm also bringing a buddy of mine. He's not tournament level, I mean just knowing him, but he'll enjoy the experience. Also Pig I tried to join your party but it wouldn't let me and I didn't see your message until a bit later. Sorry about that bro, I don't have a mic though just fyi, but would love to run some games.

Why don't we get people near des Moines and try to get a get together? I can't host yet. But maybe I can talk to the boys at gamestop in Ankeny and get more people together for this.
 
I'm up in Ames, I've been thinking about doing some casuals/training type playing more than anything, so add a +1 do the central Iowa MK people.

Anyone coming to the monthly in a couple weeks? It'd be great to see some of the MK comp outside of the CR area. :)
