Okay I've been toyin with this idea for a while now, so I want to get your ideas on the subject...

I want to host a tournament @ my place...only thing it's in Grande.

The tournament would be inivitation-only though, and a completely advanced-only type tourney.

In addition, the tournament would be Upperdeck-legal.

I want your guys input, would you be willing to turn out and whatnot?

The tournament would be most likely held sometime in January, so let me know what u guys think, and what suggestions would u ppl have???

What day were you thinking of?
Is your place 'far off the beaten track'?
How many ppl are you looking to invite?
What prizes are you planing to have?
Will there be food and drinks available?

I would definately try my best to make it. Sunday is my only 'free' day. However, I may be able to squeeze in a few hours on a Saturday.

1. A Saturday most likely...maybe on the 2nd or 3rd Saturday in January...

2. Not that far beaten...5 mins drive from the main area in Grande (if you know the area), but I will give directions whether you travelling or have ur own transport.

3. I'm looking at an optimum turnout of 20-30 ppl, not anything too major, and I MEAN INVITATION-ONLY! If you have not been sanctioned by me to turn out before, you would not be permitted entry into my house! So if we look to go ahead, if they can't get the invitations directly, let me know who is willing to come, so they would be on the list...

4. Most likely boxes of IOC/LOD...and maybe SOD if we can squeeze it in...

5. Food and drinks...if you all wish to bring stuff, it will be appreciated, or wish to order food (KFC/Marios etc)...

Food will be finalized if we make this official, but I hoping for this to be more of a group effort than anything else

.

Also, we would also allow ppl to bring a console to use on the TV if so desired, so it's more than just plain dueling...and if allyuh up for it, some actual sports (knock a lil cricket etc

)

Also have some..well...interesting twists to the dueling, if all goes to plan...

But more on that later, check me on MSN for details if anything...

I just want this to be a good tourney with people that I know that can be trusted, and have some good dueling, and make it more of a lime one time...

I'm up for it.
If anything, the only suggestion I have is to make sure that security is tight. I -REALLY- can't handle anything like what happened to ChickenNBeer again right now. I would just go -MAD-.

(ahem)
Forgive me. I'm a tad paranoid these days, ever since that happened. In any case, you can count me in.

SPK · « **Reply #4 on:** November 19, 2004, 08:04:44 PM »

Well it would be tight enough, but I more running on the premise that NONE of the troublemakers would be invited as such.

Also, when it coming to trading, we are implementing a VERY strict procedure, trades will have to be DOCUMENTED, and all duelists have to provide a list of all major cards that are being brought with them, so that way if someone has something more than what they came with, we know something wrong! Exceptions will be for packs on sale, as it would be difficult to document those...

Keep the suggestions coming, if I deciding to announce it, it's gonna be sometime early next month that I would make it official, once prizes can be arranged etc.

If you all wish to have ur names down for the tourney, PM me with ur request to be invited, or the names of those that you know (and would vouch for personally), to be invited for the tourney ok?

Well basically, we almost confirmed to be having the tourney, just need to flesh out prizes and entry fee (It won't be too cheap though, cuz we putting up booster boxes for 1st and 2nd place, and maybe even 3rd as well!

The 1st and 2nd place would most likely be a box of IOC/LOD 1st ed./SOD...and maybe even Dark Beginning for 3rd place if it comes out in time for the tourney...so entry fee may be a bit higher than normal, but it's so we can up the prizes as is...plus it will be UDE-official.

Any thoughts...?

The prizes sound great. How 'bout a little somthing for 4th too? [_[
I will be tryin for 3rd if that Dark Beginings Box is available, although most places say shipping will start in Jan'05.

Also, how about we start our official local ranking from this tournament onwards. We can only have a proper ranking system from tournaments where all the match results are made available to us for inclusion into our ranking system. This local ranking will include but not be exclusive to UDE sanctioned tournaments.

SPK · « **Reply #7 on:** November 23, 2004, 10:08:26 AM »

Hmm that can be done...

Well Computerman (and whoever else interested), PM if you wanna confirm participation in the tourney, and give me ur name and email to have on the list (Real name is required, callsign/nickname optional). Once I have cleared it, u will be emailed directions and contact numbers for me.

Announcement on actual date of tourney will be made shortly, once remaining issues are cleared up.

New Era Outlaw · « **Reply #8 on:** November 23, 2004, 06:56:50 PM »

I'm ready.
Just have to dust off my deck, seeing as how I'm coming out of semi-retirement, and all.

ShowTime · « **Reply #9 on:** November 24, 2004, 02:19:02 PM »

How bout a consolation prize, like take off third (or fourth) prize and distribute a pack or so to everyone who participates. Sux to pay $30 or more to lose in first round and get nothing out of it.

More than likely, i'll be there. Once i get over my fear...more like annoyance of getting my cards stolen.

PsiVal · « **Reply #10 on:** November 24, 2004, 03:18:16 PM »

*pets his deck* - are you ready boy, GRRR...lol

Anyways to the point, dont worry showtime stuff like that shouldnt happen by SPK anyway it should have a list of whos comin so if stuff does disappear you can hunt the punks down... :slasher:

QFE.

The very BANE of a Trinidadian duelist's existence, IMO.
Well, I don't think we have to worry much about that at SPK's tournament, since it's invite only. But, just in case, I think I'll carry my nunchucks with me. Bruce Lee IDMC if cards gone missing. WHOO-HAH!!!

.......no, I don't have nunchucks.

But, a couple of salami sticks tied with a rubber band should do the trick, right? RIGHT??? O_o;;

SPK · « **Reply #12 on:** November 24, 2004, 09:11:18 PM »

Well I'm mentioning this upfront, the registration price will be higher than normal, due to the lower amount of people being allowed to attend, combined with the level of prizes being given out.

Before I forget, the duelist number WILL be capped @ 32 duelists maximum!

Computerman · « **Reply #13 on:** November 25, 2004, 05:36:03 PM »

SPK, how long does it usually take to get to your place from Grand Bazzar?
On Saturday's I have to reach San Fernando promply at 4pm. I need to get the timing right.

SPK · « **Reply #14 on:** November 25, 2004, 08:10:04 PM »

Well that depends on traffic. What I can give u as an estimate is from St. Augustine to Grande, which is about 45 mins on average...so work it out from there.

Chaotic · « **Reply #15 on:** November 26, 2004, 08:42:16 PM »

Traditional or Advanced. How about both and instead of putting a booster box for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, put 2 booster boxes for 1st and 2nd in 1 tournament and 1 booster box for 3rd in the other and just distribute packs. Also i would like to suggest that the entrance fee be something more like $35-40 each and put up some consolation prizes for fastest wins, first win, most devastating damage copeople, give people other challenges to look forward to besides just winning. Hold a doubles tournament too if possible. I can guarantee the participation of Defending champions of yugioh, Chaos Legion. We've won 13 of the 14 tournaments since the last gatt tournament and look forward to continueing our streak.

SPK · « **Reply #16 on:** November 26, 2004, 11:24:56 PM »

Chaotic..my answer to having Traditional/Advanced is simple...

NO!

I want to see how the cream of the crop can really function once and for all...this is your real test...no wimping out on relying on the banned cards.

Prizes will remain as such, since I more looking to have the sharper duelists present on the most part...the fee will have to remain as such as well, because even with such a high fee, I am most likely going to be running this tournament on a loss, but guess what? I don't care! I am not doing this for profit, I'm doing this for bringing out the stongest and battling out from there.
As for variation, don't worry, we have some plans in the works...*grin*.

As for just winning, remember that some console gaming can be had as well, make ur challenges there as well and all if you all wish...

Well judging from this small no. of people will you allow spectators?

SPK · « **Reply #18 on:** November 27, 2004, 09:55:45 AM »

Spectators will not be allowed either...purely security reasons more than anything else, plus I know here can safely hold 30 ppl, so I don't really wanna overcrowd here.

Only in certain cases would non-players be allowed on the compound (e.g. people assisting me, which would only be 1 or 2 maximum).

SPK · « **Reply #19 on:** November 29, 2004, 08:21:31 AM »

Well most of the details have been finalized, official announcement to be made shortly...

Oh, and one more thing, when sending in ur details for your participation, please indicate your UDE registration number. Only if you DO NOT HAVE one (not that u forgot your number), indicate as such, and I will arrange for a number to be assigned to you, either before the tournament, or on the day of the tournament itself. The tournament has been setup on the official software, so all that is needed now is for you all to register.
