Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Hi guys, just a quick update.
We now have a better idea of numbers and should be able to stay in the black with this one and be able to provide over €600 in cash prizes and over €500 worth of vouchers and sport prizes. We also have 10% matesrates cards for everyone who enters the Irish Open.
It is also 99% sure that the stream will work so feel free to pass that link around - http://www.twitch.tv/brianvondoom0 -

Hey, remember this? http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=87945984
Would anyone be willing to get something like this organized for this event? This sounds like one of the biggest events y'all will be running and a good chance for decent footage methinks. Maybe even ask a film student one of ye happen to know to pop along and film something if you can!
I will br bringing a HD camera. Can't vouch for film making quality on the camerman side but sure I'll give it a go

Well, that was a thing!
Definitely a very stressful day too, and an exhausting one! Apologies to anyone if I was a bit terse too.
From my perspective, yesterday was an unprecedented success. I have a kind of rule that I won't be one of these video guys who's constantly looking for LIKES COMMENTS AND SUBSCRIBES (except occasionally as a joke) but regardless of that there's only so much one person can do alone to get streams and videos etc out there. Yesterday was the first day enough people talked that the world listened and at one point the stream was up to 620+ viewers. So THANK YOU ALL for that! Hopefully more attention could lead to more good things.
Yesterday, also to my knowledge, was the biggest SF4 tournament in Ireland (the previous largest was Q-Con AFAIK with 64 people) so obviously we weren't expecting 75 people. It's quite heartening as someone who'd show up to record tournaments some days with 7 or 8 players to see there's still that many people in Ireland who'll come out if we make it interesting enough to.
As Chopper says, lots to learn from this event, but I'd like to think more positives than negatives.
Genuinely, thanks to everyone who came, and special thanks to:
AJ, playing a blinder, as always.
Rachel, for keeping me alive just about with frequent drink top ups and help.
Voa, Onion and especially Aileen (also whoever else got dragged into recording while I stretched my legs- an 8 hour stream in that heat was a test).
Sh4rin, Lythero and all the guys who pushed us out on social media.
Chopper, Jimmy Onion et al for getting through the absolute nightmarish task of keeping the games going.
All the people doing stuff I just didn't see from the room of doom.
And everyone really 0 -
Great event lads. Well done.
Also, just wanted to also post here, as I did in the lost and found thread:
Left a black hoodie with a colour spiral in the centre at The Open yesterday, if anyone picked it up please give me a shout.
-EDIT-
Cheers gussy! 0 -
Hi guys!
It has been a while since I went to a SF tournament and this one didn´t dissapoint Special thanks to all the staff who made this possible and GGs to everyone who I played. This event really makes me want to get back into the game and come stronger the next time!
As something to improve I would say it would have been really cool to have a TV on the bar area with the match being played on stream so people could watch from there while having a drink and not crowding the player area.
It´s also very nice to know the irish fgc a bit more, you guys rock

Great tournament dudes, had a good time despite getting ridiculously salty over losing my very first game. Gonna have to step my game up, can never seem to preform at tournaments like I do in casuals. The tournament was great and the international players made it feel like a huge event too, it really was a lot of fun.
Regarding the venue, I thought it was fine apart from the space. Playing on the set-ups was a battle in and of itself sometimes, with monitors being knocked over, people asking you to move in the middle of a match and constant jostling from people moving around. Besides that I thought the venue was grand, and it was handy having the Rugby on too haha.
I hope this becomes a yearly event, because I know I'll definitely come every year.
Yarp, that's definitely something no one was happy about. Glad you had a good one though 0 -

Murphys Law. When we got the expensive big hall, not enough people showed up and it cost money. When we got the smaller, cheaper place, everyone showed up
The projector wouldn't work for me. I spent maybe an hour working on it. It just wouldn't accept a VGA input and I had no way to convert HDMI to coax as I don't live in 1993
Personally not being able to provide a better viewing experience was a bummer for me, I usually pride myself on providing a good viewing experience, sometimes out of sticky back plastic and toilet roll tubes. Perhaps it is time for me to look into my own cheap HDMI projector for bigger events so I can ensure a better option.0 -
Hi guys,
Sorry for the late mail (work, studies & a hangover) poor brain is wrecked but what a day & can’t wait to help out at the next tournament! I have the brackets for all the tournaments expect for SF (Voa has that and I’m sure he’ll post the details soon) & will post all others up when I get home. I have over 200 photos of the event, some blurred & some extremely detailed... will go through them when I get home & upload asap.
I think that given all that happened coming up to the day & on the day itself (especially with projector not working as that would have solved a lot of the viewing issues) that it was a success... even if certain individuals think otherwise! Tbh, I don’t think anyone really minds constructive criticism & helpful feedback - a lot of people have given their opinions in very respectful & constructive ways - but to say that peoples’ efforts “weren't good enough” & that “it was a shambles” is so unhelpful, particularly harsh, totally undeserving & extremely discourteous to all those who actually helped organize the tournament! I don’t think you have the right to belittle the fantastic efforts of others if you are not willing to put any time & effort in yourself - a bit of a scrubby-move tbh! I really look forward to attending one of your tournaments, where I'm sure everything will run smoothly and where I will critically evaluating your efforts & abilities! So when exactly will that be?
All in all, I observed that most people left the tournament happy - even those who were a little salty
Yes there were some hiccups throughout the day & the venue did feel a bit cramped at times but we can apply all that we've learned from this experience & apply it to the next event! I want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone involved & for playing a stormer on the day – all those who organized the event, those who helped promote it, those who streamed & recorded it, those who commentated on the games at hand & called for players, those who ran the individual tournaments, those who ran the brackets, those who brought equipment & helped set-up (those IKEA tables were a bitch), to all those who came in from the North, South, West, East and the UK (travelling to tournaments is never easy but is definitely appreciated by all those organizing the event) and finally to competitors & spectators, especially those who helped out in whatever way they could – couldn't have done it without all the support & hype that you all brought! The extra time, effort & resources put in by some people in particularly was greatly appreciated... thank you guys! I think it should be noted that compared to other fighting games communities around the world, this Irish one is particularly small & is often lacking in terms of funding, sponsorship, visibility & voice compared to the others... because of this, the IFGC has to rely heavily on the cooperation, participation, support & efforts of all those involved in keeping the casuals & tournaments going! It is not expected but it is always appreciated when people do donate whatever time, resources & efforts they can in building the hype & in making each event happen. 0 -
