[4/11-4/13] STOP! Hammertime TCJ Major

Team Crooked Jester is running its THIRD major tournament in just a few months! Our last major tournament, during Halloween Weekend only had 50-60 players, a paltry fewer than our first, but thats because there were two other major tournaments running in the tri-state area (NJ/NY/PA) in the same weekend. Players attending those tournaments have since lamented on how poorly they were run; our tournament was reported to have been run extremely well and all attendees were happy. Players have easy access to food, drink and even alcohol.

It's a fun time, that is not just about gaming, but most importantly about having fun and getting trashed with friends. Yes, I know I am announcing this tournament early, but since I didn't announce the last tournament early enough, we were hit with the sudden influx of other tournaments interfering with ours. So I figure, the sooner, the better! We hope to have players from all over attend this tournament, so I am giving housing oppurtunities firstly to players who are travelling extended distances.

EQUIPMENT:

Crooked Jester does have their own house sticks! However, it is recommened that you bring your own controllers or sticks because each stick has a personal feel... and personally I would rather not people keep on breaking all of my sticks. The tournament will be run on 4 big screen televisions; as well as any other televisions we can get our hands on for the weekend. One 48" RCA Proscan SDTV, two 50" Sony WEGA SXRD HDTVs and a 38" Sony WEGA SDTV. Any match recorded on the main screen will be recorded and put on the web for download. You may request to not have your videos open to the public; in which case they will be posted on a private section of this forum open only to Crooked Jester tournament regulars.

FEES:

Since the tournaments will be on console, there will be a tournament fee and house fee. The house fee is seperate from the games, so the entire entree fee for tournaments will go to the pot. I dont know the exact number of people we expect to have at this tournament; so I dont know how much space I will have to house people. Unless you have cleared it with an NJ local to stay at their place for the weekend, you should make your own accomodations for housing.
<ul>[*]$10 Main Events[*]$5 Undercard Events[*]$10 Mandatory House Fee![/list]
Please don't be late. If you are going to be late, call us before hand so we can hold the start till you arrive. If you have been to one of our tournaments before, you should have recieved someone's phone number in which you can contact.

Re: [4/11-4/13] All Hail! Springtime of My Youth Major

VF should be on 360. There is more than enough time between now and this tornament to get a 360 stick or get one modded for it. Besides in six months we will be use to Ver.c frames.

 

Re: [4/11-4/13] All Hail! Springtime of My Youth Major

We'll see... right now EVERYONE has a stick for the PSX consoles...

 

Re: [4/11-4/13] All Hail! Springtime of My Youth Major

I'd hope by April everyone will have a 360 stick. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif

 

Re: [4/11-4/13] All Hail! Springtime of My Youth Major

We'll see...

 

Re: [4/11-4/13] All Hail! Springtime of My Youth Major

Its official... this tournament will be on 360! (instead of PS3)

As well... the name of this tournament has been changed to...

HALT! Hammerzeit!

 

Re: [4/11-4/13] All Hail! Springtime of My Youth Major

Re: [4/11-4/13] All Hail! Springtime of My Youth Major

Okay... as for this game being on 360 isntead of PS3... we don't know anymore.

It all depends on whether or not microsoft fixes the controller problems.

 

Re: [4/11-4/13] All Hail! Springtime of My Youth Major

controller problem?

 

Re: [4/11-4/13] All Hail! Springtime of My Youth Major

I'm not sure what controller problems the 360 has?

Re: [4/11-4/13] All Hail! Springtime of My Youth Major

From what I'm hearing, we'll have 3 X360 setups for this major, so it's finalized as Ver. C. Also there will be cake.

 

Bring as many TVs and Consoles as you can guys... the more we have, the more casualing that can be going on.

 

Hope we have a big turnout for this. NYC and VA both plan on coming, I know that. Also it's the weekend right before the WCG qualifiers, so if you wanna get in some serious practice, this is the place to do it.

 

ok, this is less than a month away, but let's hype it up!!!

VA ftw! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif


also, so are we really playing on PS3??? i dont care, but i know many players have become accustomed to the 360 version by now. jaxel, you may wanna reconsider this. i know a few pad players who have no problems with the 360...it just took some time getting used to.

 

I guess you only read the first post Flash.

Jaxel stated later that it will be on X360.

 

I been said that a while back, man. Bring your 360 if you can, we'll need them. I'll bring mine, if I have it back by then. Red ringed on me today.

 

mah bad fellas. i KNEW i shoulda read the whole thing! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

 

Jaxel, do you have a house 360 stick? I don't have one but still want to play VF5. I'm sure I'll die with the quickness depending on how different version C is, but on a stick I can at least pretend I have a chance. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
