  1. leftover911 Tips for next tourny

    Player Chronicle -- Posted on Feb 20 2008

    These are some things I thought would be nice changes for the next time you guys have a tournament. I know that it was your first one, and it was great, I just think that some improvements could be made before the next one begins. If anyone else can think of any, please add a comment.



    1) Put each tournament in a separate rooms - I know that there was a lack of space at the science center, but for the next one, I think it would be nice if all the halo games were in one room and all the madden were in another and so on.


    2) More than one game going at once - You guys did a great job figuring it out by using the projectors downstairs, but there needs to be more. Not only should there be at least two games going at once, but there should at least be two more stations were people not playing can scrim with other teams. I sat around for 4 hours before I even played one game


    3) Everyone should use the same tv's at the same height - I know this one is a little nit-picky, but it really makes a difference when you have to tilt your head back to look up and play while the other team can play their game comfortably from their chairs.


    4) Random roll for maps - All the maps to play on, if I'm not mistaken, were chosen by one person, who may or may not have been influenced by the crowd of people around him. (haha) Just leave it up to a random choice.


    5) Create some profiles on the xbox's for us to use - I realize some of the xbox's didn't have HD's, but at least use a memory card. Some of us use settings that can only be turned off if there is a saved profile (ex: vibration)


    6) NO TIMED GAMES - Just let all the games go to 50. If there's a team losing 84-30 with 10 minutes left, no one wants to sit around waiting for the slaughter to end.


    I know some of these are a little picky, but I think if implemented, your next tourney would be a lot better. I commend the great job you guys did with the last tourney, and I can only hope to see more of you guys in the future.
