Planning for Soulcalibur V Nationals 2012...

I propose a 32 man bracket is definitely more interesting and desirable spectator wise for a National tournament. Especially with the hype of SC5 and enhanced online play, turnouts WILL be larger than we've experienced before barring there are no bubbles.
Also having a last chance qualifier the day of or the day before the event would also be grand for attendance, hype and drama. It's been well documented that some players, characters, glitches etc. that may be strong early in the games life span end up not so much later on and vice versa.

Definitely make it a stand alone event.

Make it 10 regionals (8 U.S. 1 Canada and 1 Mexico+Caribbean )
top 3 qualify
only 4th place can be deferred to if one of the top 3 drops out
last chance qualifier top 2 make it in to Nats and up to top 4 if there are one or more no shows from regions.
 
OKgamers officially requests Tulsa, OK as a regional location and to be the organizing group.

Tulsa's History:
Tulsa has been a hub of Soul Calibur players since almost the beginning of the community, and has hosted Regionals since with SC2. Tulsa has successfully hosted national level SC events since the Dreamcast version, and has had countless regional level SC events.

Our SC Regionals have been ran fairly, with no "drama" reported, or lingering afterwards. Because of OKgamers community connections and resources, Tulsa was actively considered the location for SC4 Nationals. Denver won over as we are not a "Destination City" - something we agreed with as well.

Qualifications for running a SC5:
- As a 501.3c, OKgamers.com not only has the access to a long history with it's SC community roots, but also the manpower and resources to run an event well beyond even the Nationals level requirements:

- 16 to 32 lagless Asus Monitors
- Dedicated consoles for this and other 2012 events
- College level facilities (already approved for Nationals level attendance)
- Unbiased, Tournament Organizers with 3 to 5 years of experience
- Unbiased, experienced volunteers receiving volunteering credit, and motivated to do right
- 5+ years of working with the local community, businesses, conventions, etc
- 5+ years of established and proven standards that can be reviewed here
- A central location, proven College venue, International Airport, and low cost of living.

Community Recommendations:

And many others can speak to the quality of an OKgamers SC event.

We've been active. We'll be active. We have an entire Gamer State Resource originally inspired by the need of SC3's "all the players are at home, we need to centralize info for fliers"; OKgamers.com will run a great Regional. Help us carry on our tradition of Regionals in Tulsa.

I'm not going to read that okgamers post... I saw one thing and lost all respect for whatever moron registered that handle. I like the rest of the reccomendations, but why would you actually give another event to DFG? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice and I must be a masochist. That or you liked that event and I still lost all respect for you.

The funny part is I agree with about everything else you said. I don't get the penchant for blind loyalty with some of you guys. Loyalty is something I am generally in favor of, but when you put things in perspective vouching for someone who has a big fuckup as their last event in the community is putting your ass on the line... You might as well just run it and have the motherfucker help you.

I'm not trying to say that I know what the dude has been upto lately, but the past was pretty checkered. I remember talking to the people from his local community they literally had nothing good to say about the tournaments past "the brackets didn't get fucked up." I'm sorry but for a TO running events for years, your locals should not be saying you make the same mistakes over and over.
 
DFG was listed because he is familiar with OKgamers.com's resources; like the rest of the list it's possible for him to vouch for our abilities to hold an effective Regionals.

DFG is not a part of OKgamers, nor would he be involved at all with a SC5 regional held in Tulsa.

To clarify: Hates, ICE, or any of the others listed would also not be involved; they simply could weigh in on OKgamers as they've attended events held in OK, and would be options to speak with about our competency regarding SC events.
