I had this idea for a while about having an ironman of gaming tournament at my place once the basement is finished. I'm sure there are quite the number of gaming geeks that use this board.
A few of us have tried to organize some shit like this before but due to the lack of interest and competitiveness, it didnt run so smooth. I mind as well make it public here to see if we can get some more people to make up a 18-20 person tournament. I'm sure ive met some of you before a long while back.
If you've heard of the tournament gametrailers.com puts on every year that tests gamers all round ability in every genre, you'll know what I'm talking about.
There will be three TVs going - One for Wii, one for 360 and one for ps3.
Each will have their own tournaments going on simultaneously. In a nutshell, theres pretty much 6 main genre's in games: action, sports, puzzle, music, fighting and racing. That means each console will have 2 separate tournaments.
Heres an example:
Wii - Puzzle - Boom Blox
Wii - Racing - Mario Kart Wii
360 - Music - Rock Band 2
360 - Fighting - Mortal Kombat vs. DC universe
PS3 - Action - Call of Duty 4
PS3 - Sports - NHL 09
Pretty much each tournament is weighted equally - if you screw up one pretty badly and not even make it past the first round in, lets say, NHL 09, making up for it in COD would do you well.
Lastly, I've been organizing tournaments quite some years - with that said, it wont suck. Everything will be weighted and organized to perfection. Im an accountant for christ sake lol i live for this analytical shit.
Let me know if you're interested.
