Tournament over! Results, photos and video info here -
http://www.okgamers.com/forums/index.php?topic=803.msg6850#msg6850--
How this works: Every month we have a tournament to help promote the fact this site even exists, and get people to USE the site.
This thread goes through 3 phases - voting to see what we play, pre-registering to know if we should even show up , and then it's moved into the aftermath forum, for after tournament comments. As we get the games voted on and decided, and rules straightened out, we do our best to finalize the thread.
**THIS THREAD CHANGES** Nothing is final till the last week, sometimes the morning of the tournament. We will not be held responsible for you not being upto date; keep current with the site. CURRENTLY: we have pre-registered, and will have the tournament on Sunday. Afterwards we'll move this thread to aftermath as usual. - Go Vote on Games - Click here to go vote on games After 14 days, we'll get the games we are playing up, and start taking pre-registration!PRE-REGISTER - go here and pre-register. We will cancel any tournament(s) that do not meet the pre-register minimum!

Event - Monthly Tournaments are held by some of the Tulsa area staff of OKgamers to get the word out about
OKgamers.com - a site for Gamers in Oklahoma to post events and tournaments, get players together, and go to find out what's going on in our area.
Tired of hearing Oklahoma has nothing to do? Want to
help out the OKgamers cause of spreading the word, so we actually KNOW what's going on around the area? -

Join our staff! - Come to our Monthly Meetings to find out what else we are doing to improve Oklahoma. [right before this tournament actually, link below in 'pre-event']
We'll have these tournaments on the
second Sunday of every month. [weather/schedule permitting] This is to make it easy to remember, and tell your friends. Spread the word about the site - because it's a solution for the lack of communication about events for gamers in the area of Oklahoma - not just because we are playing a certain game this month

Cost -5$ location costThis gets you 10$ in tokens. [Tokens are Funhouse tokens, to spend on DDR, Time Crisis, Soul Calibur 3 AE, and other fun video games, as well as ticket games they have at that venue.]
Halo 3 / SSBM / SSB64*:
1$ flyer fee. We need flyers to help promote that the site even exists, so we charge a 1$ fee.
Soul Calibur 3 - is an arcade game they have at Funhouse and ran by their staff, so it's pay per play. Note, it runs on the tokens you get from your location fee.
Pot Fees? If it's Halo 2 - yes (USUALLY). If it's a first time game? No.
[ If it's SSBM & SSB64 - location fee only. As
decided by players. ]
How do you get to vote on a game having a fee? 3 people bringing it up before the tournament to a vote for said game.
What do we do when we charge you?Any location fee keeps our place to have tournaments in business. If there is a charge beyond the location fee, OKgamers reserves the right to take 1$ to make more flyers that promote the tournaments / events / getting the word out. All the rest goes towards prizes unless otherwise stated.
Why charge for some games and not others? This is how you the gamers have voted, see our 'guidelines' link below.
We make no money doing this, that's not what this is about - go read our goals. This is all volunteer, in the hopes of improving Oklahoma by networking through one site for gamers. Don't abuse staff, or give us a hard time - as we aren't getting paid to put up with it
Why? See our 'guidelines' link below.
Rules - HALO 3 - WE NEED RULES. I've been told the MLG rules aren't as well liked this time around. I'm willing to work with whatever you guys think is best - just let us know on this thread what you think we should do. If we can, let's work out the rules on this thread by the time the event rolls around. If not, we'll go by a majority rules policy, and vote in rules at the event. (Guys - you want more comp? People want to know the rules before they show up, so let's figure out the rules NOW, so people can show up knowing that the tourny will be played a way they want.) - Canceled, see above.
Soul Calibur 3 AE - 2 out of 3 games. 3 out of 5 rounds each game. Double elimination. Stages at random.
SSB64 - Teams - no items, random level.
SSBM Rules -

***WE RELY ON THE PLAYERS TO BRING ENOUGH HARDWARE - what is enough? It's outlined on the pre-registration thread. We
will cancel a game's tournament if we do not have enough hardware pre-registered, and that shows up ON TIME.(We ask hardware to be there typically 20 to 30 minutes before the tournament is set to start)
We reserve the right on ANY game to cancel due to low attendance, make on the spot changes to the tournament rules, such as a change to Single Elimination if there is
not enough hardware, or too many people show up [Too many only means we don't have the hardware brought to meet the demand in the time we have - be sure you understand that]. We have to be done no matter what at Funhouse by 11pm, thus the concern. [Will we? Only if we HAVE to. Hardware and you determine that.] DO WE CHANGE? Rarely. But it's up to the players to pre-reg, then actually show up; if things don't happen, we have to adjust
Why throw tournaments when we don't have all the hardware? Why must we pre-register?
For the rest of our Rules - and something you
MUST HAVE READ - please review:
