[/ QUOTE ]

My vote is to allow custom configurations as long as competitors have memory cards with their characters saves.

I suggest that those who don't own PS2 Evo by tournament time make characters when registration opens or hook up with people the night before.

 

customized on memory cards. Please.

 

Sounds good... customized on memory cards, otherwise default settings are used. Have your stuff together b4 the tourney and you should be good.

 

Just to clarify, are ALL sticks not allowed or just programmable ones? If all sticks are banned, what is the reason?

 

Programmable sticks not allowed

Any joystick controller is fine as long as it doesnt have the macro-programming ability (aka dial-a-combos from 1 button press) etc... FYI

 

Re: Programmable sticks not allowed

Cool...I was concerned for a second there. /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

 

Hotel Information

Hey guys,

I went looking for hotels in Carrolton and only found one "Red Roof Inn" so far...

http://www.redroof.com/reservations/inn_details.asp?innNumber=147

MapQuest says it's about 15 minutes
from the tournament (by car, of course)...

Anybody know if there's anything closer?

thanks,

-Alex

 

Can we get some replys from people going for sure(already have tickets) and still thinking about going?

 

I think we are going to find a hotel when we get there on Friday. But most of florida is confirmed!

 

Plague, Catherine, Alex, Sean, Brisal73, Gribbly, and Aimstar confirmed.

There are probably more of us coming from SoCal - but the ones listed above are riding in my van (no room for anyone else in there).

SoCal players not listed above will probably confirm for themselves.

 

sanjuro, icecold, big boy, dirty & billie confirmed.

 

ModestMouse (paul) and Junosynth (frank) confirmed from CO, with the very big possibility of Aaron, Issak, CJ, Ryan, and Cabby (other CO peeps) entering as well. Don't know for sure if they can make it, but I'm sure we'll see at least half of them there.

 

I'm still looking around.. first of all I need to find someone to room with.. since I don't think any of my crew will be able to make it. Unless I find people to room with, the cost will be too much for me to bear.. I'm friendly and I can sleep on the floor so let me know if anyone got an extra spot /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

Hydra will probably need more than one room, I'm sure you can room with us Srider. /versus/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

Since some people didn't wanna look at the first page of the TiT thread and see where the tournament is gonna be at, its gonna be at.....

Here is the website, the place is pretty cool, it just doesn't have any carpet /versus/images/graemlins/mad.gif <-----me NickelMania . The owner is giving us complete say so in how we want to rearrange the store, so if u come the day of TiT, and u feel uncomfortable with where something is, Im sure we will try to remedy the problem, no guarantees. If you're being a bitch bout something, we'll get ManChowder to Shining Wizard your ass in REAL LIFE...

*CHARACTER SPECIFIC BATTLES*
For the people thats participatin in the CSBs, (Ling, Hwoarang) Those tournaments are gonna start at 10:00 am saturday morning and shouldn't last but up to 12. Then at 12 noon, we're gonna have the call out matches where the people in the TIT Call-Out Thread play each other. Those matches WILL be recorded and possibly put up online, so yall better make it good. Immediately there after, TiT will commence :goparty: .

Now, it doesn't matter which airport that yall fly into. Love Field is about 20 minutes from the place TiT is gonna be and DFW is about 25 minutes, so flying into either airport is coo, but if u need a ride from the airport please tell in advance. He's prolly gonna kill me for this, but if yall need a ride, call Eddy Pistons cell phone-214-293-0842. More than likely you will get him and just ask to be picked up and we will try to help u out, and not leave people stuck at the airport like some states do *cough*CALI*cough* .. I will put more contact information on here when it comes available.

HOTELS
There are several hotels in the Dallas area, but most of the affordable ones are like 10-20 minutes from the tournament. Here is a list of the places and the numbers..

Motel 6[/u]
Motel 6's rate is 35.99 a night, altho I think they change prices on the weekends, unless of course u call in and resverve first..
Motel 6 Addison
Motel 6 Forest Lane
Motel 6 Josey Lane

For you people flyin in from Love Field Airport there is a Holiday Inn by the airport, altho, I couldn't get a price from them becuase nobody answered, but u can check it out here...

Holiday Inn by Love Field

I will update the hotels every so often so just keep checking back. And if there is a specific hotel u want, just lemme know and I'll try to find out for u. Oh also, there is a 5 dollar fee for renting out the place...ITS ONLY 5 DOLLARS U CHEAP BASTARDS /versus/images/graemlins/mad.gif [/b] , so if u save .25 cent from now on, everyday up until TiT, you'll have that covered geez :shake: . But anyway, if yall have any questions or anything about anything, specifically tournaments, PM these people...

ME, ED209, Eddy Pistons-Tekken Tag/4/MKDA
COSMIC FORGE-Virtua Fighter EVO
SUPREME MAGNUS/CROWINHTOWN-Guilty Gear XX

Oh yeah, one more thing.. TV's equipment, would be greatly appreciated, the more equipment we get the smoother and faster this tournament can be ran, and the sooner we can get to the after party /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif ! Ok NOW I think I covered everything, again I will keep adding hotels and stuff periodically so there. With all that said, I hope to see alot of you's here March 21, and 22 /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif .
