To all of you nay-sayers...I say..."...sorry I took so long".
LOCATION
John and I had a meeting with Dennis and Chaz of the Powerplay management, and we have confirmed that they would like us to do SM05 at Powerplay. There's our location.
DATE
June 12th
ADVERTISEMENT
Here's the full scale dealio guys, and we pulled some serious strings and made big promises in order to get this done, SO, we need you ALL to spread MASS controversy about this thing..we're going to be doing the same. I'll take care of listing this tournament on any national forums... all of you who volunteered your help in creating or distributing flyers.. now's the time to go for it. I am NOT good at graphic design...I run these things, I advertise them, but I can't pretty them up...
One of you who wishes to have your work noticed, make me a flyer, submit it to me however you can: lastaxiom@yahoo.com and whomever comes up with the most attractive design (the flyer just needs to have: Spring Madness '05, presented by Powerplay) will have their flyer as the one we distribute. I will also allow that person to advertise their name on the flyer (in some small corner of it) to let people know that was your work (flyer designed by: etc) I need this soon, so, whomever wants to, good luck.. If not, I'll throw something adequate together.
ENTRY
Will most likely be $5.00 at the door (more on this in a minute) and $10-15.00 per division (Powerplay will be requiring a % of our net income from this, in order for us to be allotted free play for the day, if the cut is not generous enough, we will not get free play, hence the extra cost)
HOW IT'S GOING TO GO DOWN
Here's a real NICE thing that we've got going for us..
Powerplay's management was gracious enough to allow us to use their banquet hall/conference room for this... if any of you have seen this room, you know what I mean, if you haven't, imagine a room like a half sized gymnasium... plenty of room. The best part.. we will be projecting the main event (DDR or ITG) on the far wall for ALL spectators to see.
We already have clearence for Bacon to bring video recording equipment, and have even received suggestions of ways to transmit the videos onto the T.V.'s broadcasting in the main area of the Fun Center.
The Buffet will be opened for use throughout the day, and we will try to get discounts for tournament partcipants (al'a the nametag gets you the discount, you don't get the tag without paying etc)
Management has also told us we will be given prizes to distribute, as their contribution to the tournament. Such things as pre-paid gaming cards (with like $20 on it) and other various items that the arcade gives away through redemption. A nice contribution, I'd say.
DIVISIONS:
Beginners will be allowed to play on home versions inside the conference hall. We will have home versions present, with whomever bringing them being offered a small 'wear-and-tear' fee.. so that's your incentive to bring equipment.
There will be tournaments for beginners on Cobalt Flux pads and import home versions.
Intermediate
Will be played on DDR for certain, and ITG will be a possibility. We will NOT be combining tournaments. You may enter both ITG and DDR, but they will be seperate competitions.
Expert
Will be played on Both DDR and ITG.
All tournaments will be double elimination.
All tournaments will have a qualifier (DDR will have one, and ITG will have one) (except the beginners division, which will be random seeding)
RULES
DDR
DDR will be a modifier tournament. Each player will select a song, and their opponent will select modifiers. Modifiers will have limitations that will be delegated as 'suicide' combinations. Those will be updated in here, and may be subject to change at the discretion of the staff.
ITG
ITG will be a Percentage tournament. Each player will select a song, and their opponent may not force mod choices (unless demand is high and rules are changed) Whomever has the highest percentage after their selected song will win a point.
MATCH POINTS
Dance points will be Perfects x 2 + G + OK's, Dance Points will decide who wins the song. Each song victory will delegate 1 point toward your score. The first player to obtain 2 points will win the match.
QUARTER-SEMI finals
The first player to obtain 3 points will win the match
FINAL MATCH
The first player to obtain 5 points will win the match
This system will apply to both DDR and ITG.
All divisions are double elimination.
PRIZES
I am still waiting to hear back from Cobalt Flux, and it's been a while, so I wouldn't count on them being on board a 3rd time. What a shame..
The entry pot/fee will most likely be increased this year to accomodate the lack of sponsered/donated prizes. The pot will be generous as it has been in the past.
The Staff of Spring Madness would like to extend our thanks to the management of Powerplay for accomodating our desire to run this tournament, our inside man, Mr. Novasonic, and all of our faithful patrons who have been infinately patient with us, and have kept us on the ball. We'll hope to make it as big, or bigger, than past tournaments have been.
So there it is kids, finally, SM05 is confirmed, and on it's way. Spread the word.
Also!!!
Well last night around 1:30am I called the office of RoXoR Games and left a rather lengthy voice mail regarding SM05. All I did was call, no e-mail or anything. I explained to them how we would like more than the 100-150 people that are probably going to show up and get like 250-400. I asked if they could possibly send out comebody who helped create ITG or send out some of the artist (IE: Smiley, Inpsector K, Crispy, Etc...) and do some signings and give out a couple free copies of ITG for PS2 as prizes. I woke up this morning and checked my e-mail and had this.

Hi Nick,
It's great to hear that you guys are planning such a huge event! We would
love to get in on it, and I am working on finding out just what the
possibilities are for potential sponsorship. I just need a few details
from you concerning the event. The location (I'm sure you left that in
your message, but if you wouldn't mind giving it to me again, that'd be
great), and the date that you plan on having it, and anything else that
you think is pertinent. I look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks,
