Man, I would love to go to this, but money is really tight right now and all of the other MI guys don't have a car. (Seriously, how do NONE of us have cars?! We barely made it to the circuit event, and by "we" I mean 4 people who arrived finally at 5 am... x.x). Most people around here want to save up for the circuit event. I will try my best, but I am almost 100% sure MI won't be making it =(

You're gonna have to pick one helluva awesome stage, Mr. Rice.
oh i never meant 1 stage for the whole tournament. Although it'd be hilarious to do new pork city.

Lets add random stages to the random characters. Shenanigans will ensue.
this is what i had in mind. i want it to be ridiculous, and for everyone to play like there's no pride or money involved, and just have fun. (video game = game = for fun)

brisk walking distance, in fact.

If Michigan can show up, this will easily be the biggest midwest brawl event to date. Without you, it will just probably be the biggest midwest brawl tournament to date. I'd just hate to see you all miss it.

But mostly, I just wanna play Anther's pikachu. :bee:

Because I'll be paying a house visit!

ZING!


It had to be done and Sliq wasn't on AIM.

I really hope you crazy michigan folk come. Vidjo too. I want to see the top three with Me, Tink, Anther, and Vidjo... it'd be interesting.

$20 bucks for what were getting sounds good to me. It isn't spooking me in the slightest. (I plan on winning it back anyway. lol)

I'd pay the venue fee just to hang out with all the cool peeps from the MW. The Brawl is just a plus. : )

It's a good price for what you get, but I know I myself can't swing it right now. For those of us that aren't going to win, 30-40 bucks plus gas and such is a bit of a scarier investment. I'm sure it's going to be amazing, but it's just out of what I want to spend at the moment.

If you bring a tent, I'd be willing to drop it to $10, I suppose. I'm gonna lose money on the weekend anyways, so what's another $10? :)

My HOG ROAST buddy disappeared (seriously, no one has seen him in like 4 days) so we might switch to a more traditional BBQ if he doesn't show.

Everyone knows that the venue fee covers 2 meals and housing both, right?

I am not sure why the venue fee is too scary... you're gettin' good food that you'd prolly have to pay for anyway.

Either way, this'll be an awesome tournament and everyone should show up. I don't know how people with jobs don't have $20 though >_>

I need final numbers tonight so I can make accurate plans for food and housing.

Please post here if you are coming for sure or leave a "60% chance" post or something so I can at least estimate well when buying/preparing food.

Sorry to say I can't make it to this. I'm gonna miss Melee in the corner BigC. Next Week at Zjinn's though. Pick Snake and roll around for me.

And Blood_Hawk: this tourney is yours. Own the noobz.

I am 100% coming. So make arrangements for me. I still need to get a hold of Iggy. >.>

Ha ha ha.

I'm hoping I own. I've been using my Lucario a lot more and he's been getting better by the day, so we'll see what happens. My Snake has learned a few new tricksies too.

me and big c will prolly be bringing norm and infernohit with us, but we might be like, an hour late because of my work, like, 630 getting there. is there anyway, if your doin pools for teams, that i can just show up then and play the pools? i can prolly get out there at like 6 earliest =(.

edit: fudge forgot about time zone <_<.....gotta figure this out.

we'll probably do 2 pools of teams for seeding, and then do a double elimination bracket. so i can go ahead and put you in a pool and as long as we don't have to hold up the whole tournament for you, you can play out your matches.

I imagine pools will be running until about 8:00 or 8:30pm, and then brackets should go pretty fast from there. I'm hoping to be done by 11pm on friday night.

We'll have to see how many teams we get. If we have 20 teams, we'd probably do 3 pools instead of 2 for the sake of time.

We'll see about your Lucario. I'll probably be the only Kirby playing here : )

Also, you'll get no sympathy from me. I'm the only squishy boy in this game....*****!

(hopefully you get the reference)

It's not scary to me, but it's scary to others. 45$ plus gas might convince some people not to come (not me).

I'd actually prefer a traditional BBQ over a hog roast. You could just grill stuff like chicken, burgers and hot dogs. I think it worked pretty well at pound 2. It MIGHT be cheaper, but I wouldn't know.

Oh, and I'm going.

Where are people sleeping?
Your $20 venue fee not only covers 2 meals (dinner friday and breakfast saturday) but also gives you a spot on our beautifully carpeted floors! I've got room for about 40 people in the main sleeping area. Anyone after that will need to either camp out (TONS of camping space available, bring your own tent) or find other sleeping arrangements.

If you are not sleeping over, the venue fee is only $10. If you don't want to eat my food or sleep on the property, you only pay $5. I've managed to not charge any venue fee for my first two events, but my wife refuses to keep letting me shell out so much money to cover the venue costs!

yeah the HOG ROAST is officially out, since my pro BBQ guy is a no-show. Turns out he got laid off from his job (stupid economy) and skipped town for a while without telling anyone.

We'll do a normal BBQ.

Is anyone going to record matches? I'm thinking of bringing my (parents) digital camera...it's mostly used for pictures, but it has some decent video taking ability, so if anybody would be kind enough to record a couple of my matches, that would be nice : )
