With the one year anniversary of the site upon us, I was thinking about running a small, and one day only tournament for UMK3 on XBL maybe Saturday, coordinated through the chat room on the site. The problem is, I'm not going to be around until a bit later because of work, and I really want to have a tournament, aside from that, running them more regularly in general.
The idea is, no pre-registration sign ups, just show up in the chat room on Saturday at a certain time, reg there, like a real tournament and I'll have some guys I can depend on work it out, take down winners, etc. Hopefully I'll be on before it's over and can record the finals, or other people who can record could be on. If it doesn't start until 10 or 11PM then I'll definitely be there and be able to run the whole thing.
There are a LOT of people on every Satuday night so I think it could work out. Log into UMK's chatroom, brackets can be made by a certain time. If you're not there, you're not in. Maybe limit it to 16 players. This way it could get done in one night. It'd be pretty fast considering all match can be played at once. Again, the point is not to make a big ordeal out of it, just to see who can get there on a specific night.
Show up on Saturday, play in the tournament. If there are problems with the chat or people want to play and don't have access to a computer in the same house as their 360 or what not, we can work it out. Just start posting ideas, but I need volunteers to help make sure it goes smoothly.
We can establish more rules, regulations, deadlines and what not in the next few days, but this is like a flash mob tournament and I think it'll work out well.
