lol. Yeah i definitely want to get good numbers in. I've posted here on TYM informing about the event, Corzz was nice enough to post a thread up to get some exposure going. I've also posted a thread that got 0 love on SRK lol ( http://forums.shoryuken.com/discussion/196324/official-magma?new=1 ).

Besides that i've personally reached out to people i know in other communities to get them to come up for the event. Players in NC,LA,TN,GA,etc.

I'm hoping that enough people catch on that the threads get good exposure or word of mouth helps out.

**UPDATE**
Posting a rough schedule for the event from my side of things (All the fighting games. Smash is ran by other people who run party games xP). This schedule is a very rough draft and i'm almost 99% sure that it will change when we get closer to the event. I am going to try to keep it as close to this as possible, But the smash players "have" to get finals stage time on sunday,etc. Also depending on how many players we get we will have to adjust the time allotted for each game accordingly (obviously).

-Rough Schedule-

{Day 1}

9am-11am = Tournament Registration

12pm-2pm = GG:XRD Pools

3pm-6pm = MKX Pools

7pm-10pm = USF4 Pools

{Day 2}

10am-11am = GG:XRD Finals

12pm-2pm = MKX Finals

3pm-6pm = USF4 Finals

-------------------------------------

So far this is our rough estimate of how the schedule will be. Once i get more confirms and can start fleshing out the numbers for each game i will start adjusting the games, So that everything has the appropriate amount of time. Any input or questions you guys know how to get ahold of me.

I posted a poll from my personal account just a few moments ago to see what we are looking at for each game. Hopefully people pop in and start voting on what they are playing so i can tighten up our schedule ^.^

Will be finding a way to this if I have to walk. I also vouch for the OP in that it is a great place to have a good time even without an MKX tournament! I live in Johnson City, about 90 minutes from the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge areas and we travel in all the time for weekend getaways. Can't beat a cabin for the weekend with go-karts, mini golf and great food! Can't wait to meet some more MK heads in person!

Well my buddy from NC cancelled on me at the last second because he didn't save up money for the trip. The LA crew that was coming up i haven't heard anything yet if they are still making it or if they are not going.

Past that we had 99 pre-regs for the event and we usually easily triple that number in on site regs. So we are expecting about 300 people or so total for the event. I won't know how much of that is coming into the tournaments until i can see the reg numbers for the games the day of.

Only 14 this year. A lot of people called me and cancelled because they were using the money to go to CEO and such. Didn't want to make 2 trips that close together i guess, idk. I have high hopes for a larger turn out next year. It was a fun event and we are gonna move the date around for next year so that it falls on a better weekend. All in all i'm super proud of all the dudes who did turn out and make a showing and my fellow staff who made sure we caught every problem as it came along and made things run smooth.

Absolutely a great weekend. I wish i could have got more of the after hours casuals recorded but something was messing up on my MKX so i couldn't get more recorded without messing up peoples playing.

We had over 300+ attendees at the event itself though =)
