 Really wish I could make it, but both days just happen to fall on events I can't really get out of. 30th I'm out of town for a family event we planned months ago and 13th is anniversary... bummer! I'll definitely be trying to sneak in some time to watch the live stream though  | ||

I don't see how wanting to go to a Halloween party would make anyone less grownup. Its like saying that using your birthday, or st patricks day as an excuse to have a party makes you less grown up. I don't need it as an excuse to go drinking, I drink any time I want, but people tend to throw big parties on holidays(or holiday weekends in this case). And as for it being in the afternoon, it starts in the afternoon, which means its gonna keep going until around 10pm at earliest. 32 people double elimination thats 14 rounds of play, 1 of which is a bo5 and 2 are bo3 rest are bo1. 30min/game*11rounds = 5hrs for bo1 rounds, 3hrs for the bo3 rounds, and another ~1.5 hrs for the finals thats ~10hrs total, brining it to 11pm. This is assuming all games are played concurrently and there is no downtime between games. The 30min/game estimate is a little high, but a round goes on as long as the longest game in that round, and when you consider the downtime and the fact that not all games can be played at once, its a reasonable estimate for the overall length of the tourney. Add in travel time as well and that means that I would be getting home at midnight to get ready for a party that probably started around 10 and if its a club/whatever will be ending at 2. Seems reasonable to me to be concerned about going to an afternoon lan if you want to do something at night. | ||

If only you read the original post and realized that this lan will not be running until 10pm. Im glad you are RIL GUD at math and all but the tournament will not run longer than 8 hours, i stated that before. You didnt at all take into account multiple games being played at a time... | ||

Now what you should have attacked if you actually wanted to try and say my estimate is wrong is the length of the games, or the assumption that a round does not start until the previous round is completely finished. You can start Round 2 earlier, but it makes synching everything up messier and really does not gain you all that much time. It would probably would gain you as much time as you lose because round 1 takes twice as long as I estimated since you only have enough computers for ~half the games to occur simultaneously. and in any case the difference is 9pm vs 10pm which really doesn't necessarily alleviate the problem of wanting to go do something Saturday night. | ||
