  1. Hey guys....do you all still use AIM to chat and organize online matches? Haven't played online in several years, however this live tournament activity has sparked my interest...not even sure I know my AIM username let alone password.

    Yup. Let one of us know your screen name and we can get you into the 94 AIM groups.

  2. Great post bro. Be sure to sure to save up a few bucks for a flight/bus/train out to Chicago some time and I'll put you up at hotel Brutus and have fun at my wife's expense and tell her your my long lost brother that was given up for adoption.

    Bring Witty & Bo and the pizza/beer's on me as well, and it magically would equal 4, a perfect 2v2 combo.

    That would be awesome. I would definitely be down for doing that sometime. Maybe we can make it out if you get a Chicago tourney going.

  3. Driving out there, I, too, wondered if the experience would be uncomfortable, but found everyone to be so nice and good natured that it really did feel like a bunch of old friends getting together for a weekend. It was great to finally meet so many of the people I have known through the site for years. It just shows what a great, strong community and group of characters we have here. I couldn't have had a better time.

    Congratulations and thanks to everyone that made it happen. Hopefully we can get even more of the people from the site to come out for the next one. It was so much fun hanging out with all of you.

  4. I had a great time and was amazed at how smooth the tournament ran.

    My only suggestion for next time would be to consider getting a venue that would give us more space. I thought by the afternoon, our section of the restaraunt was really crammed and noisy, making it hard to get around, watch other matches, and talk to people.

    With that said, though, Real Sports was definitely right environment for the first tournament and to feature in the movie.

  5. Yeah guys!!!! I am really with you on this one. I can give it to you in writing that I'll be there on time Saturday well before 12:45.

    Same.

    Also one other thing I just noticed:

    In the google doc, the chart on the front page says the intermission/orientation for afternoon games is at 12-12:45. However, some people in groups C&D actually start as early as 11:30. I know that the way that is worded is techically correct, just wanted to point out that some people in group c&d start before the afternoon orientation. I bring it up because c/d were always informally referred to as the "afternoon" groups. So this was a little confusing (to me at least) at first glance.--- What I'm getting at is that TK actually starts at 11:30, so don't show up at 12:45!

    *edit: I start at 11:45. Thought I started at 12:45 from skimming the schedule. Still, waking up at 7:30ish and then waiting until 11:45am is a drag. Is there any way I can give someone in writing beforehand that I will be there for my game without having to be there at 8? If anything changes (i.e. our car breaks down or Canada doesn't let me into the country), I can let someone know know by Friday evening.

  6. Wanted to post this because I know a few other people were wondering about it and that some people may not have noticed it in the e-mail.

    If we play in an afternoon group, do we have to be at the bar at 8am to register? If we don't, but show up at the noon intermission, will we be replaced from the tournament? Also, would we be able to have someone else check in for us (like someone from the morning group) on our behalf at 8?

    Just curious bc a lot of us are trying to make plans for Friday... and the time we would have to wake up may determine how late we stay out. (Plus it's a bit of an inconvenience to have to wake up and get there so early, only to have to wait almost 5 hours to play.)

  7. Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, I ask that you all look deep into your hearts and make the right Choice! Choose to refrain from dislodging the net as a defensive strategy. Play the game the way the Creators intended for it to be played. And lose with honor.

    Agreed, unless you are fenty, who was born to live by no rules but his own.

    Free winds and no tyranny for you, fenty...
