Re: Gauging Preliminary Interest for an ITG2 Tourney at Acme

I wouldn't last past round 1 against people playing 11 - 13 steppers

I dont believe that a free-range of difficulties from the getgo would be a good or fun idea; we would likely say <= 10 up through the last 16, <=11 for the last 8, and all difficulties for the semifinals and finals. I am (as a mathematician hehe) brainstorming and consulting people for ideal tournament styles as not to just have people show up play 1 or two songs and then get knocked out.

Also bear in mind there is a DDR 7th mix and a DDR Supernova machine at Acme as well, which will happily service those not currently playing in the tournament =) So even if you don't make it that far in it's still sure to be a good time for all.


Focus not on destroying your foe, but on obtaining your own victory...

Re: Gauging Preliminary Interest for an ITG2 Tourney at Acme


this would be an expert-level tournament encompassing the full scope of difficulties and that any who are interested would be welcome and encouraged to come play.

I'd probably show up to watch, but like Laura, I wouldn't last past round 1 against people playing 11 - 13 steppers. I know my strength and weaknesses, and playing ITG's 11+ songs are not one of my strengths.

On a positive note, I have two friends who would probably participate in this.

If this goes well, maybe we can look into running an oldskool Max 2 tournament for the old losers like me.

I'll be there in a heartbeat!

Re: Gauging Preliminary Interest for an ITG2 Tourney at Acme


I would enter this tournament to support the community if not enough people showed up otherwise, as paying the entry fee isn't a problem for me, even knowing I'll place dead last.

However, due to the fact that I'm kind of sickly, my skill is highly disproportionate; I can be competitive on 7s and 8s, but if I even attempt anything over 10 feet, my heart rate speeds up to over 200 and I have to stop. For this reason I don't USUALLY enter Expert ITG tournaments and, if entry was high enough without me, I'd probably just be a spectator/cheerleader for my husband.

If this goes well, maybe we can look into running an oldskool Max 2 tournament for the old losers like me. Wink


I would so look cuter than her if I could find a pair of UGGs that would fit me.

Gauging Preliminary Interest for an ITG2 Tourney at Acme


     Being that there aren't nearly enough tournaments around here, I have taken the liberty of looking into the possibility of having one at Acme Bowl in Tukwila this summer. I spoke with Bill Masterman who owns the machines on Monday and he is in full support of an ITG2 tournament and has agreed to put the machine on event play at a date of our choosing. I have not yet spoken with an event coordinator at Acme, so this is by no means a for-sure thing, but I wanted to put out there that this is in the early works and I wanted to get an idea of the interest level of the community. I think I will gun for mid-late July for a date for the tournament. As to how the thing will be run, we will most likely not run a qualifier and just say that this would be an expert-level tournament encompassing the full scope of difficulties and that any who are interested would be welcome and encouraged to come play. So please if you have any input or just want to express interest, post below =) Should be a lot of fun
