or as i affectionately call it, double dance double party

~cool~

Okay I'm hype for this.

Sweet! I'm super excited for this guys!
Just one question. Might be dumb, but will the machines be on free play like an hour before qualifiers start for warm ups? or no? I don't mind, just curious is all, and you guys using the most recent version on the ITG3 pack I assume?
other than thought, I'm super pumped.
Man three tournies in one summer for me, this is quite a lot. But damn I'm pumped. I'm bringing a storm

we should all eat at restaurants after the tourneys

well of course! TO DENNEY'S!

don't think i can go.

BJ's Brewery at the mall, FTW!

sunday eh? i might actually be able to make this... id enter... and get pwned, but it would be my first itg tourney ever and iw ant to go for some fun...

I've never eaten here... is it actually good? :O

As far as the tournament goes, I'll enter Supernova and watch ITG.

About first song vs. side, shouldn't it be that higher seeds picks first/second song or picks side rather than giving them first side no matter what if they don't pick side?  I personally find picking second to be advantageous for me, so by picking side any time the choice is mine, I get both of my preferences fulfilled, whereas players who feel it's better to go first are at a disadvantage because they either sacrifice side or have to hope their opponent picks the other side normally.  It's not really that important of a rule, but it's worth noting.

Cant wait for this shit! Make sure the songs on ITG3 and Rebirth get synced correctly though.

I doubt they will be changed from the way they are now.

Actually Jon there's a fixed Rebirth pack which improves the syncing on a few songs.

Theres a number of songs that are pretty badly off-sync so I suggest once we get the updated pack we maybe populate a list of songs that are really bad and maybe we shouldn't use in the tournament. I'd hate to see someone pick a song thats way off sync and they win just because they know the syncing better than others or can offset the beat well in their head (I'm decent enough at this but its still an absurd player ability to test unless youre doing a Great Attack tourney).

BTW I'll probably be at Acme tonight, some of you should come play!
