Canada [Jul 26, 2014] B.C. Brawl Monthlies - Back in business, now featuring Smash 64! (Burnaby, BC)

[Asa]

HNG said he'd team with you if you were interested

 

[HNG]

MK and G&W.. Pretty good.

You know how to bucket brake, Yosh?

I main MK.

I submain Diddy, Luigi, Snake, Falco, ZSS, and Lucario.

 

[Captain L]

I have to money match somebody for 3.50
Increments of 1.50 every tournament, so next time I'll be a whopping 5 dollars!

 

[Crisis]

Yup.
G&W's my secondary for teams

 

[Asa]

landon i'll mm you

 

[LFL]

I don't think reducing the doubles fee by $5 will do anything. If $5 is the reason they aren't going, they probably weren't too committed in the first place. Also I would be wary of dividing up the venue fee. Other card tournaments bring Home Video way more money. The Yugioh tournament that was there for Phoenix 3 earned Home Video over $300. I think a better option would be to hold a tournament on the Island every few months to give them a break.

 

[Asa]

Kodokan with those words of wisdom

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Anyone wanna mm me? I don't necessarily have to go GaW

If $5 is the reason they aren't going, they probably weren't too committed in the first place.

When you put it that way, it sounds like we're just trying to take people's money.

If you consider the fact that in the end, it costs us about $100 for travel (ferry, bus in Vancouver and Victoria), food, entry fee, etc., then that turns it into a completely different story.

If we don't win any money by placing top x in the tournament, we lose $100 every tournament we go to (each). The only way we can make some of it back otherwise is to place high enough at the tournament, or by winning several mm's.

If everyone puts in $5, everyone only gives up $5. However, this cuts on our travel expenses greatly. If me and Trevor are the only two who are travelling from far away (AJ said he isn't coming), and there are 20 people who put in $5, then that pays for half of our travel each.

At my tournaments that I hosted for the islanders, I would give Kyle (coming down from Campbell River) a cut of the entry fee, just because he comes down all that distance. It would pay for his gas money.

i'll mm you

I think a better option would be to hold a tournament on the Island every few months to give them a break.

I think you may have misunderstood a couple things. The people coming from the Island would not be getting $5 each; they would be getting a split of the money gathered from the $5 collected from the fees of each attendee. So, if there are 20 entrants with 5 from the Island, there would be $100 divided between them, so $20 each, which covers close to half of their travel costs IIRC. We also would not be splitting the venue fee paid to the venue at all; they would still be getting $5 from each person, as they do now.

I do agree that going to tournaments over there would probably be a more practical solution, but it simply hasn't happened yet. I have spoken with Defender about this though, and from what he told me, they are trying to get something going over there.

In other news, January 22nd is looking like a solid date for Phoenix 5; it doesn't interfere with anything in the US, so we might be able to get some players from WA/OR. I suggested this date to AB as well, though they seemed split about whether they wanted to come again on that date or wait until the summer for the next trip. We'll have to see how it goes, I suppose.

Any objections?

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Oli dittos?

Or even better:

game 1: oli dittos.
game 2: GaW dittos.
game 3: I use oli, you use GaW.

 

[Asa]

any gimmick mm's i'll do for like 50 cents

 

[Blue Yoshi]

lol I was joking (though partly serious... in that I would accept that mm )

But sure, we can do a normal one as well

 

[~Firefly~]

Do you ever find yourself wondering why your tongue feels so dry?

 

[Asa]

jake's never salty

he is salt

 

[bundtcake]

well that's one movie mystery solved

 

[Asa]

LOL I was gonna post this too

 

[SKidd]

Sorry Asa, I don't want to lose more money, even if only $2
I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stay, how long singles will take, how long doubles... etc., so, if we have time?

Mario ditto MM anyone?

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Skidd... Mario vs Yoshi mm?

Though you have to be red Mario, and I have to be dark blue Yoshi so that it fits my avatar

 

[HNG]

Derp. Can't make it D: .. Not going to the one either in December..if there is one.

Sorry Crisis. Maybe next time =)

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Put me (and therefore Trevor) as unconfirmed, but still likely to go. I haven't been feeling the greatest lately, but I'm feeling fine now. However, if I don't feel good, I will not be going.

What is the number of confirmed people so far? With all the drop-outs... is it worth me and Trevor going? Or should we wait until the next one?

 

[DolphinBrick]

I won't be going =/
Maybe next time.

 

[Asa]

there's 18-22 people coming to this, including you guys. it's up to you

 

[Crisis]

noooo. anyone else need a partner?

 

[LFL]

Breez got screwed by the government and now has no money. He also can't get into his smash account lol. He is asking, since his birthday is coming up, if people would help him out in entering the tournament.

 

[Asa]

I won't be going =/
Maybe next time.

c'mon man support the community

you're not travelling as far as other people

just meet us at lougheed or braid station and we'll all go together
you'll make more friends by coming!

 

[Blue Yoshi]

*looks at attendance list*

Ewic and Tero are both not going.

I don't want to sound bad or anything... but can we get an updated list? It won't be worth me and Trevor going all that distance if only 10 people show up... (you know what I mean).

 

[SKidd]

Okay, Yoshi, Red Mario vs Dark Blue Yoshi.




Starwaffle, you're going, right? Who are you teaming with?

 

[Asa]

i didn't include ewic and tero, but yes i agree they need to be taken off since they said they are not attending

 

[~Firefly~]

Breez got screwed by the government and now has no money. He also can't get into his smash account lol. He is asking, since his birthday is coming up, if people would help him out in entering the tournament.

...WTF? o.0 I guess I'm not getting paid back just yet, rofl.

Tell him I'll cover our Doubles fee, at least. I'll take care of his venue fee if he absolutely needs it as well, but I'm going to want my money back if he makes anything in either event.

Updated attendance list. Looks like around 18 or so...*sadface* at all the last minute drop-outs though.

 

[Asa]

you guys better win doublesss lol

 

[Captain L]

I thought we were winning it?

 

[Asa]

yes yes that's what makes my post so funny

 

[StarWaffle]

skidd be my dbbls partner again!

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Wait... what if me and Breez want to mm? Will he have to borrow from you? Or will he have to borrow from me?

 

[Asa]

he probably won't mm

or if he gets in the money in singles/doubles he could use that

 

[smash mash]

...Did i hear MM?

 

[Asa]

are you coming vincent?

 

[smash mash]

Nope, was just checking out the forum how many are going tho?

 

[Asa]

attendance is at like 18
