After a year of originally planning the event, we finally got off of our ***** and got **** together. We were finally presented with a better opportunity, with people who actually cared about helping us get the event together.

First, for those that do not know what MS (Multiple Sclerosis) is, I suggest looking here:
http://www.nationalmssociety.org/about-multiple-sclerosis/what-is-ms/index.aspx

So, here's the deal.

This tourny is now going to be in Williamsburg, Virginia
We're looking to have it around sometime in August, as an end-of-summer type thing.
It will consist of both Melee AND Brawl. We're thinking about one or two other games, but for now we're just sticking with the best.

Williamsburg is a very popular tourist city in Virginia; they have Water Country and Busch Gardens, as well as other little places that tourists would usually go to. Since the smash community is one big family, perhaps before, or after, the tournament, we can all go somewhere and enjoy ourselves; you know, make an awesome trip out of it.
For those who would be traveling (if we get any), we're going to attempt to get a deal with a hotel that'll be relatively close to the venue. Remember, the more of you guys you stack in a room, the cheaper everything turns out for everyone individually. :D So bring as many people as you can.

If you have any questions, please be sure to PM either Messi or myself.
This event is happening this summer as we're about 98% sure we have a venue as well as people working with us to get it going this time around.


Also, we're looking to sell those rubber wristbands (e.g breast cancer) that say "Gaming For Cures". We're not sure on colors yet, but we'll be looking to sell them for $2 each. Would any of you guys buy these? Let Messi or myself know.

Now, lets seriously get this **** going. PM me if you're 100% sure you can go, I'll start writing down the names of players who are going. Tell me if you can bring setup(s). We're not sure on entry fee yet, probably the standard at $10 for singles, $20 for doubles ($10 for each player on the team). Those who bring setups will DEFINITELY get a discount, probably half off the entry fee and so on.

I definitely support this great idea as I know 3 people with MS. Although I live in NJ, about an hour away, and work every day, I will make time just for this.

Okay, Looking into venues it seems very likely that we are going to get a high school to host this makes sense its local easy to find can hold all of us and will have many different seating arrangements making it easy to find what you are looking for (gaming stations).

Also I posted a bit of info to Philip DeFranco also known as Sxephil on Youtube hopefully he will include us in a post and promote this further.

And if we do get a high school since it is public property but being run by a different group of people we might have to ask for waiver forms so if someone falls and dies in shear excitement of spiking someone off the ledge we cannot be held responsible.

When we find out anything else we will let you know thanks for the Continued support
