    Ok, so it's 6 days till the event and we have not heard if Sega will have side Tournament on Saturday night for all those in town for the event.

    My idea is a easy one, If Sega is not ready for a Tournament on Saturday night, we simply run one without them trying to work out details.

    A simple single elimination Tournament would fit the party and should be quick enough to run though. Looking at the 1st post, there are 33 members attending. I took those names and added them to a challonge bracket on ramdom settings. I came up with this:

    I have not published the bracket yet so it is easy to change. The point of this, is that we have a backup plan in place for those who want to be in a VF5:FS single elimination Tournament on Saturday night IF Sega does not have Tournament setup for us.

    For those who are attending, what do you think?

    Westtrade = talked to you on shoutbox, but might was well repeat it here.

    I think if you want to prepare for a possible tourney in case organizers are not making one. Have some "labeled" 64-player brackets in hand. Cut up paper with numbers, letters, or what else for people to draw.

    Maybe some of the VFDCers going don't want to participate in the tourney or non-VFDCers attending the event wants to participate...what I mentioned above would seem a good way to accommodate them.

    I would say there is probably no time for us to have a side tournament. The party starts at 7PM, and there will be a lot of stuffs need to run, isn't it? I don't think the official iam8bit staffs would like to last this event until late enough, even though we want to.

    For all the people flying from out of state to this event, this party should have started at 5pm minimum. I can't call this party a epic fail because I appreciate getting invited and I appreciate Sega & 8bit for putting a awsome event together for the fans to get together and celebrate together. But this event should start earlier because the stateside VF fans are eager to play VF5 FS matches with each other. Some of us have never played Final Showdown and some fans would want to spend the entire Saturday playing Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown

    Has anyone reached out to Iam8bit staff about this. I'll talk to Valle about this at WNF this week for his input since he is hosting the event.

    Just a reminder - for those attending the event, do not forget to RSVP to iam8bit or levelup (whoever e-mailed you) that you will be attending. If you do not RSVP your spot might be given to someone else instead.

    Look forward to seeing everyone!

    akai,

    Are we supposed to have another confirmed email? I don't have any response yet. Should we need to get a badge or something??

    Not sure Dennis (I did not receive a confirmation email, after RSVPing them). Supposedly they should be revealing more information. Hopefully it will be before Friday.

    Hey guys,

    Is anybody doing anything on Friday evening? I'll be arriving at LAX around 6PM. Dinner, etc?

    Also, looking to share/split a room with some folks near the venue!

    What gave you the idea that you'll be standing around doing nothing? My understanding is that they'll have many kiosks set up with the game running, so I don't see why you can't be playing the whole time!

    First post updated. About 3 days left!

    I am going to head over to Iam8Bit in the afternoon and walk around the area. Planning to have an early dinner in the area, 5 pm or so. If any of you guys are planning to do something similar and want to meet up, PM me.
