[Report] Before the Big Bang (Berlin, CT) - Leone19 - Dec. 27, 2013
Overall, this event went much better than Beys of Our Lives.
We were able to have Internet access, so creating brackets was a breeze. Our final competitor showed around 9:00, we started immediately at 9:10.
Since we only had 9 in total, rounds went by very quickly, even with round robin format. We finished the initial 9 rounds a little past 10:30(ish) leading us into the tie-breaker for 3rd place.
We did a round robin between TheSupremeOne, Camblade, Xtracorruption, and BladerBlock. BladerBlock took it in the end.
We ended before 11:30, a little over 2 hours. Overall, the event went very smoothly. Brackets were not an issue, unlike the last time. Everyone was willing to use Pre 4D, with a Zero-G match every-so-often. Thankfully, no one left early either.
We didn't have the largest turnout, but considering many were away for the holidays or didn't have a ride (it's a weekday), it's pretty understandable. I placed first, Haspro in second, and BladerBlock in third.
TheSupremeOne and I cannot wait to host again!

Just curious, why did you start so early? Most tournaments start at the earliest around 11 am.

Hours of the center. Since its the weekday and the holidays, we only had until 12:30 latest.
We didn't know if we'd for sure have wifi, how many would show, or how long brackets would take.

OK, that makes sense.
EDIT: Did anybody lie about whether they were using Pre-4D?

Nope.
Some of the younger attendees wanted to have a Zero-G round or two, which was fine with us.

Looks like everything went through great, but still try to start a little later next time.
. Hope to see more tourneys from you.

Now that we have it "down" and depending on the March hours, we may be able to start later, haha.

Thanks for reading, KingRagerBlade!
To note, we sent the results and fees right after the event and it was processed very quickly. Thank you for that, committee.
