eSports Event: SFIV:AE Tourney

FoamyMushroom

Howdy ya'll. Theres an eSports event going on at Ballyfemot college in a good few months. I'm looking to you guys for interest for the event..
The event is sponsored by RedBull, E.A Sports and hopefully Capcom, Microsoft games and Activision.

I've been asked to hold numerous of Xbox tournaments over a 3 or 4 day period and one of the events I'm going to hold is a SFIV:AE tournament.

The set up for the console's will be run off a 19'' or 22'' pc monitor with VGA cables. Sound will be through headphones or speakers. I cant change the set up unfortunately.. I'm trying to get a hold of the colleges projectors for casual and final matches.
It will be run in double elimination over a 2 day span, since there will be other games being played on consoles it would be hard enough to get the tournament done in one day.

As of now theres not to many details, obviously I will be updating this thread with more info when ever I get on the event.

Here are the gallery pictures of the last eSports event.

If anyone has any questions about it just ask..

So what say you all? Interest?

The Capcom sponsorship has definitely piqued my interest however I don't think you will be able to find much support outside of the Dublin area due to the 2 day timeframe on the event and the location being outside of the downtown area. It would essentially mean spending the weekend in Dublin which requires a decent amount of commitment for what will likely be a smaller tournament (by that I mean it will likely be comprised of the usual tournament participants). I suppose, and this is me speaking on my own behalf, it would come down to what else was there. Would there be any other fighting game tournaments? If it's sponsored by Capcom will there be a copy of sf x tekken to play while there?

Well I am a massive follower and believer in all e-sports (watching MLG atm) so I would be interested in attending this event even if we did not get a tourney. If we did get one I would show up to show off my scrubby skill and then enjoy the rest of the event.

If there is a copy of SFxT, WILL ANYONE CARE?

Thats what we are hoping to get is a demo build of sf x tekken, with also t-shirts and spot prizes from Capcom.. thats if we get them now..

For other games, I was going to offer a UMVC3 tourney so that its not the one fighting game.. Ill put the option through and see whats said... Ill get back to you..

You could take part in other xbox games if you want to take up your own time theres gonna be games like, Gears 3, COD MW3, Halo: Reach..
Hopefully more games to add

I'd probably attend. I'd be shocked if Hound didn't either, it being in his back garden.

Holding tournaments over multiple days is never a good idea, btw. Voice of experience here.
Also voice of experience says the best day to run a tournament is Saturday, then after hours week days. Sunday is the kiss of death.

Just to give you realistic expectations, any unreleased game is USUALLY in code form on a dev kit, so you absolutely won't "get" a demo copy of SFxT, you would need to get a full Capcom rep with the code on a dev kit essentially handcuffed to his wrist.

This is incredibly unlikely

That was a joke, being the internet comic humor doesnt get across very well..:(
If Capcom notice the other sponcers for the event hopefully they will come along and represent!!
As I said in the first post theres not many detials at the moment, if we get sf x tekken tis dandy if not ah well. All we can do is try =]

IF I can run the tournament over one day it would be amazing, but theres going to an extra 3 or 4 games been played on the Xbox so time is against me. I'll be sorting a timetable for the games once I get numbers of who would like attend for each game. If SF gets the most numbers to attend that'd be the first game to be played and finished.

I know foamy, I assume SF4 isn't a massive draw at these things, but just so you know the facts of it

Dave, do you really think I give a damn?

In fact, the onus is on Capcom to CONVINCE me to buy their retarded game.

lol

Wasn't talking to you Kiki.

Orim

I think he's referring to the fact that person trying to get it is showing a lack of interest.
