Okay guys, so I talked to the owner about running a In The Groove 2 Tournament and hes willing to throw one, but I need your guys help in organizing it since some of you have already ran some in the past. It'd be nice if someone is willing to help me run the tournament.

Also, if any of the more experienced players from Seattle or Portland area come down, I'd like an alternative plan if there were to have a significant amount of non-hardcore players.

If we could have some techs during the tourny to assist with any pad malfunctions, that would be great.

Okay, aside from all the stuff that's above, I've come up with some pretty simple rules.

Double Elimination Tournament Rules

-A qualifying song will determine where you seed. You will not know the qualifying song until the tournament starts.

-Higher seed gets to choose either song first or what side they want(1st player side or 2nd player side).

-There will be no swearing since you will mostly be around kids, so please refrain from any foul language if you do happen to swear.

-No being a douche hat (yeah I changed it from ass-hat to douche hat), that means no picking a super hard song like Energizer on a player that can barely pass a 10(in other words, do not pick a song that the other player is incapable of passing). The other player must have mutual interest in whatever song was picked ONLY if the difficulty exceeds 11.

-1 veto per match will be issued per match

-If there happens to be a legitimate pad error, we will recalculate the score.
Non-legitimate errors being called will be judged by the many people that are watching and be dealt with in a mannerly way; poor sportsmanship will not be tolerated.

-No flash photography while players are playing.

-Best out of 3 games wins the match.

-If players happen to run into a tie, we will let random decide which song is picked next and the winner of that song will advance.

-Players will be given a break if needed.

-Please let the judges know where you are going if you happen to be the next one to play and have to go outside for whatever reason it maybe. This way we will know where you are at and will not throw you out of the tournament because we don't where you are.

-Be on time for the event, but there are some exceptions if you are running late by like 10 or 20 minutes. You can call the place at (360)455-0183 and let us know so we can get you into qualifying.

-Final 4 players will play Long version custom songs selected by me. How this will work is, I will choose 3 custom songs that will be played in order of 9 foot, 10 foot, and 12 foot. You are welcome to request songs. Post your requests here in this thread.

-Most importantly, have fun as always.

I need some feed back from you guys now so I can finalize this and run it over to the owner so we can work on a specific date the tournament will be on. Thank you.

Please let me know if I'm missing anything. I really want to make this a big tournament, and I'd really love to see everyone on here from the pnwbemani community to come down and participate.
