welcome to 2010

 

[tarheeljks]

i think i've found a venue to hold a tournament in san jose. i will have to front money, and consequently charge a venue fee, but there hasn't been an sj tourney in a while so i'm hoping that won't deter people. that said:

-- are people willing to pay a couple bucks extra (i'm guessing san jose players will)
-- when are some good dates (starting in january obv)

 

[Shroomed]

as long as ur venue fee isn't more than $5 im sure ppl won't mind

if i won money and u were negative i'd give u some of it bak for venue

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

the demand for tournaments in the south bay is somewhat high

 

[metalreflectslime]

Make venue fee $5 like the West San Jose tournament.

 

[PokemonMasterIRL]

I am hella down to help you Julian, where did you find a venue?

And Im down for a venue fee, I have to pay to travel to SF so a small fee to play in SJ is fine with me.

place is a card shop downtown. ~ 10 min walk from sjsu , ~20 min from diridon caltrain, 5 min from the light rail. i still need to check the place out, but i've heard it's spacious. biggest concern is parking since it's downtown

 

[PokemonMasterIRL]

Have you talked to them? I used to work there for a little bit.

I dont think you will be able to run a tourney there even though it is huge and has lots of tables and outlets.

 

[tarheeljks]

yeah, i've been in contact w/the manager over the last week and he gave the ok on it. just need to make sure we can be in the store long enough to run the whole tournament-- they are open long enough to do it (11 am to 10pm) but i didn't specify duration until today. i don't think that will be a problem at this stage though

 

[PokemonMasterIRL]

what is John going to charger you? (or did you talk to shawn or eric?)

 

[shadowlink3]

You guys should really update this. =(

Don't worry, FYP.

 

[metalreflectslime]

Regarding the DTSJ tournament, is $5 venue fee too expensive? The location is in DTSJ, so parking may incur expenses. The venue is $100 for the entire day so we need at least 20 entrants to break even. I'm also trying to figure out a good combination of how many set ups to give discounts for and how much discount to give and most importantly lower the venue fee. If we get decent attendance, the owner may see this and work out a deal with us. No one really complained about the $5 venue fee at the WSJ, but that's only because the venue was nice. I'm not yet sure if this venue is good enough to justify a $5 venue fee though. I haven't seen it yet.

 

[pockyD]

something I was working on today

http://kmsun07.dyndns-remote.com

still dirty and unorganized as **** but should hopefully be useful enough when we actually 1) get all the tio files 2) decide to care about rankings again

we wouldn't need this **** if everyone claimed their results on aib!

 

[metalreflectslime]

Nice work, Kevin.

 

[L__]

that's really cool

 

[tarheeljks]

the venue sounds nice, granted that is hearsay (from those who recommended it, not the owner). they routinely hold other types of tournaments there, so i can't imagine it's a dump. i never really intended to charge $5 for venue fee b/c there appears to be significant demand, i don't want to deter people from attending and i don't really mind eating a few bucks in the worst case.

that said, even if the venue isn't that nice please recognize that we're also--i would argue primarily--paying for convenience by saving time and money driving/barting/busing/etc to go to san francisco or elsewhere in the bay. of course this logic only applies to people closer to the south bay, but that is clearly the target group. of course i hope others come as well


if i decide i need to charge $5, any profit would go to hosting another tourney (the owner has said that if the event runs smoothly we may be able to arrange a monthly tournament or something to that effect), or the good player fund or something like that. again, i don't plan on doing so, but any surplus is going back to the community anyway

 

[joeplicate]

i will claim my results on AIB when u guys decide to do a rankings LOL


just say which tourneys you're gonna use, so i know which ones to register for

this is correct

 

[MasterShake]

That list is too good.

 

[shehehe11]

i think you should definitely charge 5 dollars for the venue fee just because you have to compensate for discounts on tvs and systems. at the west san jose tourney, we generated 70ish dollars from the $5 venue fee with crazy discounts (32 entrants) but we got a ton of setups.

don't fret asking for the money and DEFINITELY don't even consider 'eating a few bucks'. There's absolutely no reason for you to pay anything out of pocket; it's a cost that should be paid by everyone, not just you
