Attendance
If you are going to be no more than 10 minutes late, please contact the TO who's tournament you are entering. Shoot them a text, or better yet call them because they will most likely be running round taking care of things. They will add you to the tournament you request to enter in. Make sure you have your money ready. If the first game of the tournament has started and you call, it's too late to enter. So if you think you are going to be late, call.

Tournament Priority
As you can see, this event is on a tight schedule. If you are cross-entered in a tournament (entered in multiple tournaments) and you have a more than one match to play at once, the tournament with the higher entry fee takes priority.

Brawl > 64/Melee/P:M > SSF4:AE/MK9/UmVC3/Skull Girls/Mario Kart Wii

For example, If you are waiting to play a tournament match for Melee but you get called for a tournament match in Brawl, you must leave the Melee station and come play your Brawl match.

However, if a tournament match is already going on in any game, you will not be required to leave until said match is complete. You must report to your next match immediately afterwards.

Tournament matches have priority over any money match.

Pools
Pools will be run to determine proper seeding for all events throughout the day. (time permitting)

We shall have signs like this one to direct you. This one indicates to turn around you've gotten off the exit and are going the wrong way.


After you get off on the Exit Fremaux you will either see this sign saying to turn around or another that say your going in the "Right Way".

After Interstate
1.Look for Fremaux Avenue Exit
2.Turn Right onto Fremaux
3.Take the 2nd left onto Eastridge Dr
4. Take the 3rd right onto Gause Blvd
5.Destination will be on the Right. Look for Giant Surf Boards out front.
6.Park where ever you can it is likely that much of the parking will be taken. At which time parking on the side of some strangers lawn is acceptable.

Ohana Pier is the Far Left building in the Strip Mall Facing Towards the Gym.

Taken Directly from Google Maps from New Orleans to Ohana Pier.

If your coming from the opposite way you'll need to switch it up a little.

I can pick up anyone in between Lafayette and Slidell (e.g Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Metairie) for a small gas fee. I have 4 open spots.

Edit: I'm also challenging ANY and ALL Alabama players to any amount MM (within reason). Come at me!!!

When would you be going, what time of day and on which day? I would be megabussing to and from New Orleans so I need to know what time I need to arrive there if this was going to happen.

Oh, ok. *marks 1st body bag as "Tesh's Sheik"*

I hope I either do outstanding at APEX so I have to show my performance wasn't a fluke, or something makes me really salty so I play at this with a vengeance.

64 can normally pull a crowd of at least 20-25. Melee in LA has kinda fallen through though, but if enough hype is ensued it could reach up to the 30s.

Brawl man, what we got? XD

almost considering to megabus but i feel it won't be big enough. It is hard to decide.

If you can guarantee large attendance + add Project M, or something, id consider it even more

i just may be down for a really long megabus trip... (REALLY long)...
If that 0 dollar megabus trip is still working I'd def do that, unless someone wanted to sponsor me (and obviously they'd team with me too)

I am very serious in my interest btw but im not sure if it's enough as is (considering how expensive/long the trip is)

if anyone wants to talk, either respond here or message me on facebook
www.facebook.com/mew2king
(and tell me what your name is so I accept your friend request)

for the record, you catch my interest whenever you have 200 or more pot bonus and/or sponsor my travels. But I do not know how much longer I can do this anyway because I am being forced to get a job very soon.

So no megabus but is anyone from around this area going to Apex? I am wondering if I could get a carpool

but if I got maybe half my travel expenses paid for I would also go that way as an alternative please let me know guys! It would be cool to go as I have never been in this region ever before.

You should just pay for all of mine, because I'm clearly deserving of the most special treatment.

Why don't we let this clearly available extra money decide? We'll each call it, and whomever it comes to gets to use it for their travel expenses.
