Hey guys!
Talked to the arcade today after school and they said they would be all FOR it! The date for the tournament I told them is
July 26th. That means that people should be here in Minnesota by July 25th and expect to be here til the 27th if you can! Unfortunately we're not going to get the party room because it would cost us about $100.00 each person rofl. It'll be in the area where it is now BUT the machine will be turned up and the machines around it will be turned down. I may ask them to move the one or two games that are around it since they are pretty close, but I'm not sure if they'll do it. BUT REMEMBER: This weekend is more about hanging out, meeting people and having a shit ton of fun. Therefore the tournament shouldn't matter to you as much as just meeting up with new and old friends and hanging out with them all!
The fee will be $12-$15, i still have to work out and explain how event mode works to them rofl.
I'm gonna call this tournament "Back to the Past" since Extreme is somewhat of an old, but extremely good DDR mix and it was the first machine i played on so it's pretty awesome for me. It will be held at
Grand Slam in Burnsville, Minnesota
Grand Slam
12425 River Ridge Blvd
Burnsville, MN 55337
Standards are pretty basic:
Heavy and Oni ONLY! (But you can pick the same song if it has a heavy and oni chart but can only pick each chart once)
Straight PA - most perfects wins. Pad shit (which hopefully
won't happen) will be recalculated to perfects. And if both players have same amount of perfects, it comes down to greats, then goods, etc...
Double elimination and EVERYONE is welcome to join in! (I'm really hoping for a lot and possibly if you guys can make it happen (pun?), a 64 man bracket. That would seriously make my life if you guys came all the way out here, you have NO idea lol. So invite all your friends!)
Will be rainbow seeded, so don't bomb your qualifier on purpose!
Best 2/3 songs wins the match
None of the 10 footers are allowed until the semi-finals
Qualifier will be some random 8 footer chosen by me the day of the tournament
Whoever has the higher seed in each match will either pick side
and second song
or first song. (I'll make sure both sides are in top condition so it really won't matter what side but whatevs)
/rules
As I said, this tournament will be fun. I really don't want and i hope to not expect any drama. I want to make this tournament/weekend as fun as possible for you guys and myself as well.
Unfortunately I live in an apartment with my mummy since i'm still in school so I can only house like 2 people IF I HAVE TO. Please try and find a hotel near the area. I hope that doesn't have a factor in you guys coming because it's 3 months away, you can save up like $50+ for hotels hopefully
. What we'll probably end up doing is putting like 10 people in a room at a nice, but somewhat cheap hotel without them knowing how many people lol (That will make room rates for everyone MUCH cheaper)
The nearest hotel to the place is the Burnsville Fanta Suite Hotel located literally like 5 steps away from the arcade
250 N River Ridge Cir
Burnsville, MN 55337
(952) 890-9550
Arcade is open until midnight Friday and Saturday (How convenient!)
The Mall of America is just about 10 miles away if anyone wants to go shopping. (Myself and hopefully a few others around here and people who drive here will give rides wherever) and the casino is about 20 minutes the other way. Otherwise there's our old mall which is like 3 miles south. Along with a TON of food places around too!
If anyone arrives by plane, let me know and I will do my best to arrage rides since the airport is right next to the mall of america. You might have to take the light rail to the MOA but it's only like a dollar to do that and will save ME and whoever else a LOT of gas if we only have to drive to the mall because airports are gHey! lol
The weather is always amazing in Minnesota in the summer time (sometimes a little hot but who gives a crap?). So don't expect to freeze your butt off in July, bring proper attire rofl.
Please let me know if you have any questions. It would be best if you either
Facebook or
Myspace me because i check those more than this site.
Spread the word! I'd really like to host a big tournament
ANYONE and EVERYONE should come!
Thanks you guys!
"Back to the Past" MN DDR Extreme Tournament & Fun Weekend!
