FRIDAY NIGHT WELCOME PARTY 6pm - 9pm ACME Bowling NWM4 Participants we are holding a Meet/Greet at ACME Bowl. The space is pretty small though so come on down register (if you have not), pick up your badge, verify your registration and events, grab some pizza and then hit the bar! ACME Bowl 100 Andover Park West Tukwila, WA 98188 206.340.ACME It will save you a lot of time on Saturday, as you will know what your start time is, and not have to show up until then, else you are standing in line at 8am with everyone who did not register on time. We will have a couple of casual set ups to do some MMs on or get some last minute practice in. Everyone can come on down, but the pizza is for registered NWM4 guests only.

Hey all! Need some help to push Aksys over the edge for us If anyone has any influence or access to them, hit them up! They got my info, will try and move somethings around, but looks doubtful they can do anything. Hit them up if you have any ability/influence with them and just ask them about NWM4 and if they are coming or doing anything Would like to get the BB group some love since we are home to top BB players. Thanks! --Chris

If you aren't at your pool within 15 minutes of roll call and your match announced, you will be immediately disqualified from the winners bracket. If you're in more than one pool during the same time slots, be sure to check-in with the judges of all your pools, to let them know you are in multiple pools before starting your play.

I am hoping to lock venue this week. Looking like Highline CC in Seatac area. Any sponsor info you all have, or ideas, get them to me if you can, so we can get sponsors on board. Thanks all!

YOU are the person I was told to look for!!! I hope to have venue details in the next few days and then start the hype machine for the event!

Hey all! NWM4 will be on June 2rd and 3rd and it is part of the Road to EVO series. So that means a LOT of new people coming to this event. Are you all interested in having BB at this event? Venue will likely be between $25 and $35 depending on when you register and and individual events something like $15 for Capcom games and $10 for everything else. Assuming the answer is Yes: Do you all as a community have someone you want to run the BB event? If so, who and can they contact me so we can start to set this up? Thanks all! --Chris chris@gameclucks.com

Let GameClucks get more involved in running these in 2012!!

GameClucks LAN Center 18717 76th Ave W Lynnwood, WA 98037 3pm - 9pm (10pm if we get 10+ people) $3 Venue Fee Bring any Fighter you want and lets get some action going! This is EVERY Thursday!!

So the issue now with same Sat as SSF4 is MvC3... May not be enough hours in the day to do SSF4, MvC3, BB and GG... ugh. Working on the schedule for Feb. Right now it looks like this though: (not all events are posted on it yet) GameClucks Feb Schedule 4: All Night LAN ($20 PC, $15 Xbox, +$5 Reach 2v2 TS) 5: GC Monthly SSBB 12: Super Street Fighter 4 Season 1 Final 19: (Possible MvC3 event) --- Maybe BB/GG on this day? 20: HoN Sunday ($10) + CoD Black Ops 360 LAN ($5) 26: ITT Tech Tournament (TBD not sure what they are doing) 27: StarCraft 2 1v1 Tournament ($15 Entry)

THANKS ALL for making this! Looks like it was a decent showing! What do you all think of doing these on the same day as out SSF4 events (usually Saturdays) starting at say 8pm (SSF4 usually is winding down then). ?? Let me know so we can plan another one. I would like to make this a monthly and add a league to it so we can boost prize pools a little and I can look for sponsors. Thanks --GC Guy (Chris)

Guess its time for me to fire up IRC again and get the GameClucks restarted.

Hmm... we def need more action on this thread. Where are all the BB and GG players?? Someone hunt down the ones that went to AkiCon

GameClucks 18717 76th Ave W Lynnwood, WA 98037 425 775 2240 chris@gameclucks.com http://www.tourneyplay.net/pnwleague/pages/show_event.php?event_id=36 Date: Jan 21st 2011 (Friday) Time: 5pm - Midnight Entry Fee: $5 Venue, $10 per Event Prize Payouts: 1st 55%, 2nd 30%, 3rd 15% Rules for All Events: Double Elim Bracket or Round Robin (if less then 8 ppl) Time Limit 99 Seconds Best 2 of 3 until Upper, Lower and Champ Finals then Best 3 of 5 (If Round Robin then 2 Games per Match played) Button Binding is Allowed Button Check MUST be done on the Selection Screen Pausing a game is NOT allowed Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core Specific Rules: EX, Shadow and Gold are banned Kliff and Justice are banned BlazBlue Continuum Shift Specific Rules: Unlimited Characters are banned Valkenhayn is ALLOWED SET UPS NEEDED: Guilty Gear PS2 Set ups: 1: 2: 3: BlazBlue CS 360 Disks&HDs (we have the 360s): 1: 2: 3:

Unfortunately it does look that way.... Sorry GG and BB were an afterthought by me on this event. Next one I will try and plan them into it from the get go. I will hold a table open for GG/BB if people show. Pricing will be as follows: $10 Entry for GG (no NBA Tix) - 50% to Prize Pool/50% to Venue $10 Entry for BB (no NBA Tix) - 50% to Prize Pool/50% to Venue If you pay the $30 Entry you are entered for the NBA Tix and a larger portion of the entry fee will go to Prize Pool (about 35% venue, 65% to Prize pools) If you pay the $30 for some other game (like SSF4 lets say), then GG and BB are +$5 to enter with all $5 going to Prize Pool (since I get my venue from the $30 for SSF4 or whatever) You can record. Prob can not Live Stream though as I have 3 or 4 LS's already scheduled to be going. YOU WILL HAVE TO BRING COMPLETE SET UPS (we have no extra equip, same deal with HDR and 3S)

ALSO JUST ADDED is a Black Ops FFA event, free entry, $250 prize pool!

So that is up to you all if its happening. I have to get some sort of head count so that I can plan for it. I need to know by Monday if you all want it to happen and I need some sort of approx head count so I can plan it. On Monday I have my meeting with the Venue to plan the floor space out. So you all tell me, we doing it or not? Please do not make me plan floor space if you are not going to show. There is a business cost to reserving it on my end.

Dec 18th event is already posted. http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?10632-TourneyPlay-Portland-Dec-18th-2010-w-NBA-Sponsorship-of-the-event

I will take a gamble and go for the $5 Venue Fee at All Night LAN for this event.

Registration Contest from now until Wed Dec 8th at Midnight PST The game with the most registrations between now and Wed @ Midnight gets $250 addt prize pool money. ^^^^^^^^^^ This applies to the $30 entry option only... so yet another reason to hit me up QUICK so you all could qualify for the bonus $250
