Riverton Tournament - Recap

Just wanted to quickly post to congratulate the winner of the BYOC tournament at Rock Creek Pizza in Riverton.  Congratulations go to Perfect!!!  After battling through about 35 players, Perfect was able to overtop Utah's top players, OnEMoReTrY and Pride!  Although the internet connection was about as good as my Muta-Micro, players dealt with the long 3-hour delay in getting the internet up and working and played many games with some serious lag problems.  Despite these issues, the battles continued and a winner prevailed.  Again, congratulations Perfect!

We'd also like to thank Rock Creek Pizza for offering their facilities as well as Utah Game Tournaments for hosting this tournament.  We look forward to many more tournaments like this and hope to continue to have an increase in player attendance.  We encourage everyone to spread the word about these tournaments and direct their friends here for any announcements.

Yay!!!  Versus responded to my request to have the tournament results posted and so here you have it!  It looks like there was a HUGE turnout and lots of success.  I'm starting to sound like a broken record here, but congratulations OnEMoReTrY!  Again displaying why he's #1 in Utah - but not without dropping one game!  That's right folks...he is human and yes, he can lose!  I believe it was Pride who gave him his first loss ever in Utah SC2 tournaments.  So, congratulations also to Pride!  Anyway, here are the results and we hope to see you all soon at the next tournament.

The following post is brought to you by:

Another local Utah gaming enthusiasts group is hosting a large 50-man SC2 tournament with a $300 cash prize for 1st place.  Here is their recent post and contact information:

Utah Game Tournaments will be hosting an awesome 1v1 50 Player Free-For-All Single-Elimination Starcraft 2 Tournament on December 21st at Rock Creek Pizza in Riverton; the address is 1276 West 12600 South. The winner will receive $300 cash! The Tournament is scheduled to begin promptly at 9:00pm, and registration begins at 8:00pm, the first 50 individuals to come in at 8:00pm and pay the entree fee of $10 will get a secured spot, this way first come first served is honored to ensure a fair playing field. This fee is to paid in cash, and no bills above $10 dollars in value will be accepted as no change will be given. Once the fee is paid the competitor must sign a wavier protecting his/her rights and the rights of Utah Game Tournaments and Rock Creek Pizza Co. After the wavier is signed the competitor will be guaranteed a spot in the tournament, and therefore the fee is non-refundable, if the player does not show up to his/her matches, the player will forfeit the round. The rules of play will be thoroughly explained at the tournament right before the first round begins. This tournament requires that all players bring all necessary equipment to play themselves, to put it simply, they must bring everything they would need to play by themselves at home, we will be providing the network switches and internet, but the player must bring everything else, including all necessary cables for them to hook up to the network if they do not have a wireless connection adapter. The final rounds will be commentated on and filmed with Fraps. The tournament should last no more than 3 or 4 hours at the latest.

We sincerely hope to see all of you there. Make sure you let us know on our email that you plan to come, also feel free to ask any questions or express and comments or concerns. Thank you very much.

Our email is utahgametournaments@gmail.com

Let's fill up all 50 spots and have an awesome tournament.  Cold, hard cash doesn't come much funner than this!  Remember, it's BYOC & network cable (if you don't have wireless).  So, spread the word!

p.s.  Can we get someone that will at least give OnEMoReTrY a run for his money?!?!?  :)
