I imagine the marvelous timing vs non-marvelous timing in SN1 would cause some debates over the net.

That shouldn't be an issue if they're just taking the top people per arcade/region... It doesn't matter if you won on SN or SN2; as you still won and can compete on whatever machine it is on the next round.

Cool! It would be cool if Konami allowed SN2 for the event, since its basically a better version of SN.

I imagine the marvelous timing vs non-marvelous timing in SN1 would cause some debates over the net. I know I pwn scores on SN2 more 'cause of the benefit of marvelous timing.

Also, I wish I had something other than Extreme up north to practice on for this tournament. I know it's highly unlikely that it'll be held on DDR Extreme since it was never licensed for the US.

Jon, would you like to admin? They are mailing the info packet soon, and I can pass it along to you.

I'd gladly admin the tournament! Glad to hear Konami seems to be getting their stuff together this time, and know who to contact. Wink

I will be getting married the End of August, so as long as nobody has a problem with it being after the 13th of September, then I can admin with no problem.

And since we've worked well together in the past, I'll invite Laura to help admin it as well.

Unless Laura changes her mind and wants to enter. Tongue

Re: [Konami] DDR US Championships

I was coming here to start a thread about this, and it's already started! :-)

Anyway, I recieved a phone call from a Konami representative that said we had already been picked, and would we provide a host cabinet and location. He then mentions that they have already picked a location as they have been investigating awhile now. There pick is narrows, for whatever reason. Asked about what mix it needs to be on, and he did not know, but was thinking SN as that is what they already knew was at Narrows. He says they want a better tourney this year, on well maintained stages. The GW saga last yaer is what I'm sure they want to avoid.

Jon, would you like to admin? They are mailing the info packet soon, and I can pass it along to you.

Thanks,
Bill

Jon: If you want to run it in September, I'm happy to either help you OR enter the tournament. Realistically, though, I'm not gonna place so I might as well assist

It's often difficult to get ACME on board with tournaments, but maybe they'd be willing to bend for a tournament that has been officially sanctioned by the makers of the game?

Interesting rundown from Bemanistyle:

Excellent! I'm thrilled to see this return again!

Yes, let's ask Bill or Bobby to get registered. I think these two are the only two operators we know who would be totally for this event. Also, if there's enough players here in the PNW, having a north and south location to play might not be too bad of an idea.

Tournament Location Registration Page:
http://www.ddruschampionship.com/partner_reg.html

Edit: I would volunteer to run as one of the organizers, but I'm sure that could cause trouble, because I would also want to compete. Soooooo, perhaps Laura or Jon?

EDIT^2: I'm still peeved that they never did anything with the interview footage of me at the tournament. What a drag, I could've been a star! *_*

Their tournament site is terribly broken right now.

I don't even see any information regarding machines/mixes that the tournament will be using.

I'd be willing to organize and host this at a willing location if we wanted to hold our first round tournament at the end of September (end of round 1). I don't see any reasons for doing it sooner; but if we do it sooner I won't be able to help with the organization/planning.
