Would it not make sense to run console tournies the whole day along side pc tournies? Most gamers are primarily, if not exclusively, one or the other.
I’m sure there were more people who would have and could have brought consoles had there been better communication about it. I, for one, could have brought at least my 360, and a TV if need be. I wasn’t aware we were in need of more consoles though- it seemed like it was a “bring em if you got em” situation instead of confirming that Person A, B, and C were definitely bringing 360s.
As far as people not wanted to lug all that stuff down, would it be so hard to get 4-8 people to bring consoles and 4-8 other people to bring TVs? It just needs to be better planned ahead of time, and confirmed who is bringing what to guarantee that we had the hardware we need.
