Tournament Madness!!!
Posted: Fri Mar 12, 2004 12:10 pm
Just checking in here from time to time. We had our first tournament of the year down here in New Mexico and it truly was our biggest and best yet, as we drew in around 110 people! Our previous high for most people at a tournament was 36, talk about a jump. We expected around 50 or so. We handled it all quite well tho.
Jack!!! There were 67 people there for Halo. It was crazy!!! We had 6 TV's going, so there was a lot of watching, but everyone had a blast. Once again, McTeam swept the field. While there were some good players, McTeam plays in national tournaments and it showed. We had 16 4v4 teams. Not everyone stayed for the 2v2, but we still had over 20 teams for that.
Soul Calibur 2, what can I say? We had a 32 man bracket, it was awesome. I ended up getting 8th, but at least I was in the top 25%. It was a really good one.
Anyway, just thought I'd put the word out to all you BreakmanX people to see if any of you are interested in hitting up the next one seeing as we have a date set. May 29th! That's plenty of time to save up those pennies if you feel like going to a huge Halo tournament. There'll be a 4 or 5 dollar cover charge, and a $10 fee per event (2v2, 4v4). There will be even more Halo players there. I'd expect around 80 Halo players this time. If they all jump in 4v4, that's $800 bucks to be split between 1st, 2nd, and possibly 3rd, or $560, $160, $80. That's just for 4v4. I'd be willing to bet that over half stay for 2v2, let's say 60 stay for that. That's another $600 in prizes $420, $120, $60, not too shabby.
I just know that you know how to bring it Jack, and that the prize money will be pretty decent. Sorry, I don't think we'll be doing a FFA since most people are fine with teams, but who knows.
Other games for May 29th include:
Super Smash Bros Melee
Madden 04
Soul Calibur 2
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Tekken Tag
Tekken 4
Guilty Gear X2
Possibly Mario Kart DD
This will be in Albuquerque, NM and our admin is offering up some gift certificates for the person who brings in the most people, and a free hotel room for the person who travels the furthest.
Our venue will be bigger, there will be a lot more TV's, possibly a projector or two for Halo, it's going to be madness. I'd say we'll probably have at least 12 TV's for the next Halo. So if you're good enough, and interested in some of that prize money, start planning now, you've got about 2 and a half months left.
Post up if you're interested and I'll give all the details, or point you in the right direction.
