helpful if you post bo3's starting when or for entire duration of tournament, as well as the starting time, which you seem to often neglect in the original post
|
Did you place in the tournament, you had entered in, last weekend?
|
Yes, how did you do in that battedex tourney?

Rly depends on how many show Ryan. If there are 32 people there, running bo3's for the whole tournament would be impossible to do in 1 day. But last time we had 19 and we did bo3's the whole way and it worked out for around 9-10 hours which isnt bad. So the more people that show up, the less bo3's can be done, but he does like to give the best players the best chance at winning... he will run bo3's when he can.
Also, i believe 40 people were signed up to the last one, and only 19 showed... so i wouldnt worry about a players list... he has said if 33 people show up then he will run a 64 person bracket. Not worried about the number of people.

If 50 people show up, I have no doubt the tournament would be opened to all 50. Make sure to get all your friends to show up as well, live tournaments are a blast.
Cats: That problem was fixed by Tony. We should be all good, but I'm still gonna do a test run the night prior.
|
We have ten ppl signed up so far. We have 2 weeks still for sign ups
|
Even if there isn't enough people, will prize pool still be the same?
|
So many ppl wait until the last second to sign up..like the last couple of days even..that is why I try to encourage ppl to register sooner.

nah look in OP, the prize pool will adjust to however many go. which means if only 10 go (just based off of the current signup) the prize pool will be SIGNIFICANTLY smaller
300 200 140
SHOULd be based off of 32 player entrance, not too sure where the exact price he got comes from though

Alright thanks, whats your division?

if you do the math, it is based on 32 at 25. entry fee each ..5. to the venue and a whopping 20. to the prize pool..
Not to shabby.

Alright thanks, keeping this post active so people can still register
|
I can register for others right? Since not all my cousins have teamliquid accounts.

Softsoap, You are not that far away so it is totally worth coming and hanging with these guys..they are so great..as people, not just "diamond", "silver", etc..they are the type of ppl that you want to hang around if you enjoy the game, talking about the game, and learning new stuff We have a lot of tourneys here, and SC2 ppl have uber class (not trying to butter up guys..lol..I have said this time and time again)

Just like the last 2, you said u would make it and then backed out. Real cool man, this will be my last one before i move! im stoked. Hopefully it fills a little more...

Sometimes people have other things going on in their lives other than SC2 tournaments, MyLife.
|
Since this is MyLife's last tournament there, I want to participate. How many people are in it? Could you keep a counter up? It is a very long way from here and if I do come I dont want it to be like 10-15people.
Also, when and where is the next tournament after this?
Sign me up. hpthegreat.134 Zerrrrrrrrg.
PS. Ryan please go so I can complete my elimination trifecta on you. :D I love u very much

Once this weekend is over and the league is announced, I'll be setting up the circuit tournament dates with the 3 LAN centers. So chances are the next one will be mid Jan in ME or NH with MA being in Feb. Still have to wait for this weekend to get the logistics settled though.

I just checked the calendar, and you are there, but I believe they have all the times posted as KST(Korean Standard Time). So, this is listed as being on Sunday @2:30am, not Saturday @12:30p. Have you posted about the tournament on other sites to generate traffic?

Well, I cant make it. I have to take a test on that saturday ((. Lame

Hey, im not gunna be able to make this one. Im moving in 2 weeks and i guess my girlfriends families last christmas party is this day. GL to everyone!

No worries...Dec is def a tough time to get together for SC..Saturdays in Dec are so precious 
We'll see you at the Jan.15th tournament hopefully

Im moving out of state in 2 weeks. not just down the road =P thats why this christmas party is so important (her last chance to see family)
|
I don't like it, first off if we cant really pull a strong amount in this dec 11 tourney, then i don't think there should be a bronze. And the games would be to long, no fun to cast :D.
Also, my cousins went to CCG after i recruited them, did you see them? it was on friday, to asian teens.
|
My life- Even more of a reason is right! Hopefully you will be in New England and can make it to one sometime
Softsoap- Uh well, I am not sure what your rank is..but there are quite a few ppl that want to play but are shy around the heavyweights around here.. (our shiny diamonds)
We have a softer showing so far for this coming tourney because it is merry christmas time ..lots to do, get the tree, decorate the tree, shop for friends and family, visit friends and family..you get the idea Last month was a good group and the community itself is growing stronger every month. We have been holding tournaments since Aug. and no complaints..well you know what I mean..lol
We have 15 ppl so far..we have 10 puters..and its a great experience for you to be around these guys..

I honestly cannot tell you enough how frustrating I find it that bronze/silver, etc. players don't want to show up because they're not diamond.
Want to get to diamond? Come to the tournament, support the gaming center, and hang out with the rest of us. Talk strategy with those of us that are in diamond; we don't bite. Usually.
Spoiler: I'm in diamond and I'm not that good. I know I'm not going to win, but I go to have fun. Come, hang out, talk about SC2, and watch some really good games.

This pretty much sums it up. The first lan i attended was in Dover and it was a blast... i met some awesome guys and enjoy hanging w/ them every time a lan is held. Ask DamnCats, me and him met at the first lan and since have probably played 400 games or more together.
Its definitely a good time and all the diamond players that to attend are more than happy to talk strategy all day and help you improve your game... (unless ur lazymicro, then we just make fun of you when you lose) BUT hes a special case cuz he builds cannons in all his mineral lines and makes 16 gateways on 3 base =D
|
It really is a fun time for all. Even the other night in Haverhill, Force was giving some of the other guys advice on gameplay and I was helping out a bronze guy. It's all about the community, but you can't really get into it if you stand against the back wall, know what I mean?
As far as casting goes, I usually take over these duties for the LANs and bronze doesn't always mean boring. It gives a live tournament group a chance to talk about whats going on, or build orders that could have worked, or what hints we can give to help someone else improve.
And besides, if you don't show up you end up missing me talking about the NE SC2 League that I just formed. Which, btw, I'm proud to say CCG is a part of.
|
i would sign up if i wasnt afraid of getting rolled by a diamond(im bronze). but im gonna show up just to watch and hang out, i had fun last time. maybe i could find someone to play with this time maybe help me improve.

Yes another two, I was getting worry about the sign ups. All these cancellations. Hey CCG, whats the count for registration?

2 days... The excitement fills the air.
|
We have 12-13 confirmed, 8 had to cancel, and 2 maybes..
It is because of college exams, tests, and finals...Jan will hopefully be a better turnout....
|
Well as far as I'm concerned, we are still going to have a blast and I hope the prize pool won't be to small haha. Maybe we should take away 3rd place prize pool because the lack of people showing up. , see you soon. This will be a long 2 days. Also, do you guys have pretty much a lot of games for pc and ps3 consoles? As I will be paying the extra 10 for playing some ssf4 and other games.

Wow. This looks like a kick-ass event... unfortunately it's a 3 1/2 hour drive for me from Cape Cod... Perhaps I'll wait for the next one...

Hey guys, the first qualifier tournament fro the league is up. you can check it out here. Make sure to also keep an eye out for the next CCG tournament as I know they have a few in the works. From what I hear, 1 of them is even for lower ranks!!!

Thanks you everyone for a great time as usual. I know I say it often, but you are all so great, we enjoy having you each month..
Thanks to our surprise helper, katrina, also. We love the passion that everyone has for the game and appreciate everyone's excitement in how players are working together, sharing strategy and having a blast!
Our next tournament is for silver/bronze group on the 31st at Culture Crew Gaming but everyone is welcome to come play/hang..maybe we can have a diamond only tourney at the same time... We have enough computers to pull it off 
|
|
Aww, it's bronze and silver only?
Guess I'll just have to lose 100 games in a row and get demoted.
|
you arent bronze already bitters? woulda surprised me!

You're just mad I didn't buy you a pizza.
