  5. Need Help finding a Location for New York - King of 94 - 4

    in King of '94

    Posted

    Hello all,

    I have to say it's been a battle to say the least finding a place.

    With Vegas, we find a location, and have solid interaction with the venue. Vancouver, one email to the canadian brewhouse and they're on board and are happy to have us there.

    New york has been a different beast altogether. I've contacted about 30 places so far...most don't even acknowledge or return an email or call. I don't get it. Is this how business works there? It makes no sense to me.

    I finally found a venue, guy seems to be on board. I ask for a specific day and he agrees only to realize that I picked the wrong day. Since that time(about 3 weeks ago I've asked to confirm the correct day via email, fb messaging and phone calls, all of which haven't been returned.) If he replies, then awesome, but I can't wait and hope he replies.

    I could use some help (and shout out to @MikeGartner22 who's been a great help so far) trying to help find some places.

    I've even expanded my reach to new jersey.

    This is the preference for a venue

    -can support 80-100 people

    -serves food and booze

    -solid internet connection for streaming as well enough space  for station set ups.

    -they are willing to let us be there for free(trade off is the business they will get our sales)

     

    Please post anything and everything you can think of and I will reach out to them.

     

    The sooner I can get a venue the sooner we can get a "save the date" in place for those out of towners wanting to travel.

     

    Thanks guys!

    Here is the full thread on goal records. Do we suck or something?

    No penalties means they can't even B check.

    Many doubted the SNES record holder guy on the forums a few years ago...

    It’s always better to assume they are lying about their scores. So our self esteem remains steady.

    I couldn't get the links to work. 71 goals with the leafs vs Hawks is impossible.  Maybe in SNES? 

    I spent my trip home reading through some and I definitely want to highlight some of these in a new forum thread.

    Lots of complaints on crease cut, and I saw someone post about pass shots.  They've been around since '94! 

    I would say snes for sure. When I spoke to Dan ( snes world record holder) about his score, he told me  he feels he Could beat it by quite abit more. 

    Thanks for sharing these links  it’s awesome to read through and see what people were saying 25 years ago

    hmm, like the more compact groups, i also dont feel like there are two definitively better teams that can be pinpointed in any of five tier settings.  tho id be more worried that youll just hear tier1 called over and over again with CHIvsDET.

    Good point. I know in the tomczak bowl, they roll a dice that determines the tier selected.

  16. Tiered Teams - SNES and SEGA

    in King of '94

    Posted

    The first time I saw the tiered system was sometime after Toronto and before Vegas, from a Tecmo tournament called the tomczak bowl.

    http://tecmotourney.blogspot.com/p/team-tiers.html

    I liked the idea and Mikey and I talked about it, but then ultimately decided to remain with calling the match up.

    As per the suggestions above, I think if we asked everyone to come up with a list, everyone would come up with a different list, which, is adding their personal bias much like the suggestions above.

    I started with a 5 tier list for both systems and ended up with 7 as I was trying to remove my own opinions of who I thought should be where, but rather use a bunch of "data points". After one run through, if i found a team was in a lower tier but played the bulk of their teams in above tiers, that gave me the impression they should be moved up and conversely some teams moved down. I ran it through again and in the end, I added two more tiers based on what I was seeing

    In Sega, it was showing a lot of situations where tier 2 teams were playing tier 1 teams as well as tier 3 teams. However there was a lost less matches between those in tier 3 against tier 1. So it seem logical to me to create a separate tier for those specific teams.

    I also think by stretching out to 6 or 7 teams in a group, there's going to be many teams not used. Guys will just pick the best two teams from that group most of the time since the match up selection is no longer required.

    With 7 tiers, you still have the option to select a tier 2 team and still play against a tier 3 team should they choose to do so.

    I also think the tier can change over time, (which it seems to have with the tomzcak bowl on version 7).

    For the next King of 94, We’ll  be moving towards a tiered system.

    Coin flip.

    1. Losing player chooses tier and is visitor.

    2. Winning player chooses team from that tier or a team from a tier below and is home.

    3. Losing player chooses a team from that tier or a team from a tier below not already chosen.

    This will give players more options to pick the team they want. There is still some strategy involved if you are trying to restrict a player using his favourite team by picking a lower tier. It removes having to track which match ups you previously picked which was too hard to track.

    How I came up with a tiered system below. I used team selection choices from past king of 94 matchups. In theory, by running it through a gauntlet of team choices it would be able to give me a better idea of tiered choices people selected and therefore hopefully removing any personal bias on team selection (which I think it did in the end). I ran it through a couple of times to narrow down tiers. Here's what it came up with.

    SNES

    Tier 1 - PIT, DET, CHI, BOS

    Tier 2 - VAN, NYR, CAL, LA

    Tier 3 - MTL, BUF, QUE, WIN

    Tier 4 - WAS, TOR, PHI

    Tier 5 - STL, NJ, DAL

    Tier 6 - EDM, NYI, HAR

    Tier 7 - OTT, SJ, TB, FLA, ANA

     

    SEGA

    Tier 1 - DET, CHI, BUF

    Tier 2 - VAN, LA, MTL

    Tier 3 - CAL, BOS, WIN

    Tier 4 - NYR, QUE, DAL, TOR

    Tier 5 - PHI, PIT, STL, WSH

    Tier 6 - EDM, NJD, HFD, NYI

    TIer 7 - OTT, SJ, TB, FLA, ANA

  25. [September 21-22, 2019 - Toronto] - KING of '94 - 4

    in King of '94

    Posted

    REGISTRATION IS LIVE!!

    https://smash.gg/tournament/king-of-94-4/details

    Please let us know if you have any questions. We haven't used this site before so there could be some things to work out.

    You can participate in up to 4 events:
    Saturday:

    1. [Sega] King of 94 ($50) OR Duke of 94 ($15)
    2. [Sega] Duke of NBA Jam TE ($15)

    Sunday:

    1. [SNES] King of 94 ($50) OR Duke of 94 ($15)
    2. [SNES] Duke of NBA Jam TE ($15)

    There's also a $17 Venue fee, which you pay once but covers admission for both days.

    So for example if you want to play Sega King of 94, SNES Duke of 94, and SNES NBA Jam, it's $17(venue) + $50(sega king 94) + $15(snes duke 94) + $15(snes duke jam) = $97. Sorry we couldn't get it add up to 94.

    The King tournaments guarantee 7 games. 

    The Duke tournaments guarantee 4 games. The 94 Duke tournament has simpler rules (no manual goalie, use any team) and is meant to be the casual event.

    The venue helped us put together some good hotel deals. Possibly some flight deals, but I haven't heard any updates on that front.
