No worries, I knew you were around.

But even NETPLAYER isn't showing up, and he's supposed to be tournament staff.

Maybe we should start charging money to enter the tournaments. Less people would sign up but they wouldn't just blow it off.

My bad, I was waiting for a message on XBL. Hope I'm not too late.

Can someone please explain to me what in the world happened with the tournament. I was on XBL at 8:30 pm eastern time. I did not see any post about doing anything else when I checked last. Then at 9 I was very worried and checked the forum and saw that there was a chat and when I went to it I could not figure out what was going on.

Well, I felt like a retard pretty much. Not only did I get my ass handed to me, I pissed off a lot of people because I hadn't played on XBL in a long time.


...Oops, I guess.

Good effort man. Maybe we'll see you around online?

WINNER: OE EXORCET (CYPHER :mrgreen: )
Runner-up: Sasuraiger (Fei-Yen)

Full bracket here: http://challonge.com/oratan_rookie_1

All-in-all, the tournament was a success. There was some roughness at the beginning, but around mid-way, once everyone learned the intricacies of VOOT's lobby system, things went extremely smoothly.

Calimdir, I'm sorry you didn't make it. I sent you a friend request days ago, but it was never accepted. I had to start the tournament.

FIXES FOR NEXT TIME:
- Inform entrants about how the lobby system works BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT STARTS
- Require that people have headsets
- Need more staff:
- Need someone to give commentary during the tournament (so people watching the stream don't just think it's a bunch of random matches punctuated by Xbox Live messages)
- Need someone to manage the online component (bumping the 4chan thread, managing the stream's chat room, etc)

What does everyone else think?

I think Sasuraiger smells like a colony, and should throw himself through wood.

Yeah, having extra rules stated like "There will be a chatroom" and "I will invite you to play your round, so just hold tight" are handy things to note. Also getting everyone to shut up at the beginning and explaining the rules one last time, and making sure to get a confirmation that they understand helps.

Congrats on successful tourney though. This quickly became a huge nightmare for me when I attempted and miserably failed with the summer Bragging Rights tournament, but at the very least it got most of you all to fear Aniking :lol:

Well, at least I took a round from the Rookie Champ! :lol:

My performance was an embarrassment...to myself and this board. I would commit Hari Kari, but that would hurt. Instead, I will get my skills back up to par. Ugh.

Oh, one more suggestion would be to turn down the racism a little bit...there are Black VOOT players out there. Imagine if Quad was in there...*shudders*. :o

The what?

EDIT: Oh wait, yeah, I know what you're talking about. Yeah that was kind of embarrassing. We'll take care of it for next time, although a rules sheet like this:

- Wait online until it is your turn to play
- When it's your turn, you will be invited to the tournament party
- Don't be racist
- Set your observers to 6

...might confuse some people ;)

Looks good, but one question.

How much is a headset? lol
