Weekly PES Tourney in Riddler's Bar, Limerick

Gadge

Hi there.

For the last couple of months my friend & I have been running a weekly Pro Evo 6 tournament in Riddler's Bar, Limerick City. We're using 2 PCs hooked up to wall-mounted HDTVs, PS2 pads, an up-to-date option file and all the bells & whistles (Evo Patch, new kits etc.)

Registration is €5, and it operates by knock-out cup format. Quarter Finals & Semis are 10-minute matches, the final is 15, and all the early rounds are 5-minute affairs.

The Prize is a Slab of beer (usually Miller or Stella) for the winner, but once it starts getting busy (i.e. when the colleges start up again) there will be decent cash prizes for the winner & runner-up. If you win the competition 4 times you get a brand new jersey of your choice.

Afterwards we usually have a few pints and play some 2v2 games for the rest of the night (just for fun ), and there's a great atmosphere among everyone, with only one pad-throwing incident so far

Usually starts about 9pm every friday, with registration from half 8 onwards. We usually have a few practice games beforehand as well. There is no restriction on team selection.

Hope to see some of you guys there soon!

Where exactly is Sarsfield street? Is it near O Connell street?

Press start

Yeah, if you're standing at the junction of O Connell street and William street (Debenhams), start walking towards Sarsfield bridge. Riddlers is on your left before the bridge.

Gadge

Gadge

It starts at 10 tonight to cater for the Champions League matches for all who's interested...

If I can scrape together a few pennies I'm going to head in tomorrow night...Just a quick Q - is player condition and weather set or all random?

davemc06

Over eighteens I take it then! No teenagers like myself! :P

Melion

Gadge

Great man, just ask for Gadge.

There's 2 slabs going tonight actually, one if you beat me and one if you win the tournament outright!

Melion

Well Gadge put me out last night, he was lucky though.

Melion

This on again tonight Gadge?

Mongo

Sorry for the late reply man, my net was down the last few days, and Boards.ie is blocked at work.

It was on again last night and we had a decent turnout. It'll be on again this wednesday & friday. Lately we've been playing PES2008 afterwards on the PC. It's identical to the PS3 and 360 versions, but with perfect controls.

davemc06

Would I get to play?
I'm only sixteen! Would I be allowed in to play?

Melion

Sorry i didnt get in the other night, got your text but i was asleep so it was too late by the time i woke up. Ill be in wednesday night

Feck man I dunno. It's held in a bar, so there could be legal issues with that. Also, the prize is a slab o beer...


I know it sounds crap, but if you have a parent with you it might be okay.



As for Melion, I think I know who you are



Also, I won last week so my slab is up for grabs as well as the regular one. Whoever defeats me in the competition will get a slab, as well as the overall winner.

Also since I'm 1 win away from getting my 2nd jersey, that'll be up for grabs as well soon.

If you want to win you'll have to beat me

Gadge

PES2008 tonight!!!

As well as having the PS2 controllers, we'll have a wireless 360 pad there as well, so 360 users won't be at a disadvantage

Mongo

Is there a tournament on Wednesday week(the 7th)?

Gadge

Nah dude, we have one on the 31st, and the next wednesday after that would be the 14th.

I'd love to do it every week, but I'm on shift you see

Melion

This on wednesday or is the barman going to be a cúnt again(in your words )

Gadge

It's lookin grim for today man...

Melion

Gadge

Your man who owns the place booked it out again. If you know somewhere else who'd be willing to host us, let me know.

Kev_ps3

Gadge

Sorry dude it's not on for the forseeable future.
