Brad you need to seriously re-consider the schedule. Singles Pools can get done a lot sooner than 7pm and you need to be the person enforcing the use of spare TVs alongside being conscious of the time in relation to what needs to be accomplished.

Just sayin! Sooo excited for this.

the hamilton one will be fun, but dust.
the more I think about it though, it would be nice to be there and gain some interest from local mac kids.. new faces at bates smash fests would be nice.

We have five tv's at The Toy Trove stored and if anyone can bring any others for use at the tournament that would be greatly appreciated.

Brad can I please start making the threads I'm a lot more active than you are xD There should be an equipment list there so you can keep track of how many setups will be available.

Linksta and I are taking doubles

Ok. If Daniel and Romulo are going too this than I think I will go to this. The last Hamilton McMaster tournament was really bad. They play on lcd tv's. But I still want to go to both. To recruit players and etc. We found some decent people last year like Jonathan and that other guy.


Daniel, you and Romulo will have to bus to McMaster from square one. I will pick you up there than go to st Catherine.
Assuming I go to this.... (still deciding between the two tournaments)

It'd be awesome to see you come Windrose :) Linksta is gonna want you guys to come too he's really damn good (on par with me / better in some aspects as am I) and we've all been improving, it'd be good fun.

Peter if you come we'd have a good time just put it that way haha. I have no worry about Apex harming the outcome of this tournament and particularly feel it could actually be more of a reason to go to one provided you aren't attended Apex (which the majority of the population isn't).

Brad in the event that the turnout is large am I gonna be able to trust you to enforce the timeframe for both singles and doubles to be ran properly and not too late into the night? With players coming from out of town they expect the tournament to be ran as optimally as possible so they can make decisions in regards to when to get back, and most don't want to be back home very late at night. If you need some guidance don't be afraid to ask any of the advanced players or myself brother we've all been through it enough that we can help. Just saying, not trying to hate on you or anything, just want everything to go smoothly and enough setups are filled / people bring their own controllers.

So, I actually have the first comment reserved for TVS and such, just no one has said they're bringing anything. So yeah, it would be great if people could comment if they're bringing a TV/Cube.

In regards to the time frame thing, Im starting this ON TIME regardless of what anyone says. If you show up late, thats unfortunate, if you're a few minutes behind(Mostly looking at the out of town people) Message here or text me and let me know.

I updated the schedule, I will be starting at 1:30 PM. Dont be late.

Also, I'd like to do crews if we have time at the end, so let me know if you want in and or what "theme" we should run. I.e Draft, Area, Region vs Out of town etc.

last time there was an ontario tournament during a big national tournament in the states, there was a huge turn out.

everyone wanted a shot at winning with the top players gone.

i wouldn't be surprised if we see a big turnout for this (even though it's not in toronto).

Thats actually why I requested this Date. Niko and I thought it would be best to have it on the 12th or 19th, but I figured that anyone not going to Apex would still want some tournament action.

I haven't decided yet... never had to choose between two tournaments before... I kind of want to go to the Hamilton tournament to teach those kids a lesson and learn how to host properly. Fod in doubles...

^^I like the way Robs thinking. Windrose it's becoming more than clear that your odds are winding thin in regards to the Hamilton tournament ;)

This ones gonna be good :)

Also I'll be bringing my laptop with Tio already installed and fully functional. I don't feel like recording is too necessary and the monopoly created over the want for the recording TV causes a delay in the tournament worth avoiding.

Todd really is such a nice individual.

Saux if you don't come that's okay, just means you're lacking inner awesome.
