Play N Trade’s tournaments are back. Kicking things off for the summer will be Smash Brothers Brawl. It’s going down Sunday May 10th at 1pm. $15 buy in.

The fine text reads:

3-stock matches, 7 minute timer.

Each set played is best 2 of 3. Loser of the 1st round picks 2nd round level. Single Elimination.

Ransom stage select Among: Battlefield, Final Festination, Smashville, Yoshi’s Island, Halberd, Lylat Cruise, Pokemon Stadium.

Bring your own controller. PnT only has a few extra. Gamecube is preferred.

We’ll be there to record the event in HD shaky cam.

Update: It seems that PnT did not realise, nor did we, that the event is on Mother’s Day. FAIL. The event is still a go, but we may or may not be able to record any or all of it. Sorry. =(

PnT will be holding off on the next couple weeks worth of tournaments untill we can figure out a way to better publicize them. The last couple of tourneys after SF4 were low turn out, and we are going to brain storm some ways to better get the word out.

Of course this site’s goal is to be the place to get the word out. We’ll be moving ahead with placing flyers in various high visablity places including the front desk at Play N Trade. Our forums will be open soon too, which will also help.

If you have friends that game, let them know about the site. Word of mouth is a great tool.

There will be a tournament for Guitar Hero World Tour at the Davidson Student Lounge (CSU), Wed. 3/18 between 10am and 5pm. There is a $5 entry fee. The flyer states “Walk in any time”. It does not say which system will be used.

Contact Phil @ (706) 566-3969 for more info.

Next up on the PnT list of tournaments is Capcom vs. SNK 2. System will be PS2.

Tournament starts at 7pm and buy in is $5. Winner takes the pot and gets free entry into the following tournament.

Someone really needs to step up and shut down Jimmy. He has won every tournament he’s played in, in the last 2 months.

Another small turn out, but fun none the less. No one really being serious about the game, we had a good time figuring out what linked in the middle of the matches.

Match 1: Jimmy C. vs Thomas N. | Winner: Jimmy C.

Match 2: Jimmy C. vs Ryan T. | Winner: Jimmy C.

Match 3: Thomas N. vs Ryan T. | Winner: Thomas

Match 4: Thomas N. vs Jimmy C. | Winner: Jimmy C.

Wed. 3/11/09, Play N Trade will be hosting a Pocket Fighter tournament at 7pm.

Game will be the PS1 version, played on a PS2. $5 buy in, winner takes the pot.

Shenanigans are almost guaranteed.

There was a really small turn out tonight. That was expected though, as the PS1 version was played.

Since there were only 3 players, we did the tourney round robin style.

Match 1: Tracy L. vs Travone B. | Winner: Tracy L.

Match 2: TracyL. vs Malik M. | Winner: Tracy L.

Match 3: Travone B. vs Malik M. | Winner: Malik M.

Match 4: Tracy L. vs Malik M. | Winner: Tracy L.

Next week’s tournament is still up in the air.

My apologies. There is no video of the tournament right now. The camera that I used to record the event created semi-corrupt .h264 files that are not tracking properly and can’t be converted to anything usable at the moment. The camera also died after the 6th round 1 match, charged through rounds 2 and 3 and caught the final match. I’ll try and not noob it up next time.

We had 14 players for this tournament. Double the previous number.

The bracket:

(Round 1)

Match 1: Shane F. vs Brian C. | Winner: Shane F.

Match 2: Malik M. vs Marquese J. | Winner:  Marquese J.

Match 3: Jimmy C. vs  Tracy L. | Winner: Jimmy C.

Match 4: Javoris F. vs Taylor S. | Winner: Javoris F.

Match 5: Tramaine T. vs Jeffery F. | Winner: Jeffrey F.

Match 6:  Justin S. vs Jarrod B. | Winner: Jarrod B.

Match 7: Ryan T. vs *Thomas N. | Winner: *Thomas N.

(Round 2)

Match 8: Shane F. vs Marquese J. | Winner: Shane P.

Match 9: Jimmy C. vs Javoris F. | Winner: Jimmy C.

*Denotes player who got free pass to round 3 due to uneven teams.

Play N Trade will be hosting a Marvel vs Capcom tournament, Wed. March 4th at 7pm.

Should be interesting as the game will be the PS1 version, played on a PS3. Buy in is $5 and winner takes the pot.

Side note: We’ll have our SF4 footage up shortly.
