Notes:
* Our Second SSBB tournament; however, we're used to running various fighting-game tournaments. This tournament we will be trying to incorporate a melee tournament as well since there is a lot of demand for this
* There will be approximately 8 setups (mixed wii's/Cubes). Recording setups may or not be present (if you have any experience with recording please contact us)
* To emphasize we want more than JUST 4 setups for each tournament. Bring a set up if you can!
* As per SBR rules, players are responsible for their own controllers.

lmfao jack

 

[LFL]

I'll be there and i can bring a set up

 

[TwilightShadow]

pre-reg deadline is this friday.

 

[~Firefly~]

This Friday? As in, tomorrow? That's pretty short notice for people that don't check these boards regularly...

 

[Sion]

I concur, fly of fire.

 

[Blunted_object10]

Can I pre register for others?

 

[TwilightShadow]

if they don't care enough to pre-reg themselves... that doesn't really show much of a commitment now does it... how hard is it to sign on... and write u name down... its not like its binding or n e thing

I'll probably be coming, also didn't feel like copy+pasting the entire list of empty spots, seemed a little redundant

 

[Deap]

comfirme for brawl

 

[unityole]

the thread was up only a week ago and pre reg is a week later which is today..

its not like they dont care, people got stuff to do or forgets to check the thread, or did not see the thread, or only wants to play friendlies.

nothing's stopping them from coming, pre-reg doesn't bind you to attendance nor does not being on the pre-reg prevent your attendance.

 

[unityole]

not be able to pre reg means 5 more bux on the venue fee, it certainly wont stop them from going, but there will definitly be less people going for higher fees.

 

[Dynamism?]

If I knew about this 4 days ago, I would've been there. >_>

I'll see if I can make some adjustments, but unlikely now

 

[Deap]

hey

$15 the venue fee???

holy ****

 

[bundtcake]

o_O Just noticed the entry fees for singles/doubles, seems a little high... Were they this high last time as well?

 

[TwilightShadow]

there's been 2 sets of entry fees in the past 3 tournaments, its either been 10 singles and 5+5 doubles or 15 singles and 10+10 doubles, people can decide at the time of the tournament what the consensus will be.

 

[Sion]

if my opinion counts, i prefer 10singles and 5/5 doubles, and i feel you should go above this quantity when the tournament scale is larger than normal.

 

[Metà]

what a horrible venue fee

 

[Asa]

ya with all the other tournies happening, I'd rather not support one where most ppl are paying 10-15 dollrs for the venue alone

 

[SpaceFalcon]

what a horrible venue fee

 

[unityole]

what a horrible venue fee

i 2nd that

 

[booshk]

wow venue fee?
mad gay
shiz mad gay

 

[Deap]

reduce the cost of the venue fee to 5 or 7 but 15...

in this situation in mexico we say

SI NO CUMPLES CHUPAME LA VERGA

 

[TwilightShadow]

yea, i know 15 is a bit much, its 10 if you pre-register. The venue fee is lowered according to how many people attend. If theres a 20 people attending from smash than it will easily only cost 5 bux a person for venue. Usually every tournament, i look for about 100 from Smashboards and about 300 from SF4 community (i don't think they appreciate having to take care of the larger portion but its better than taking all of it) I did just apply for a bursary from the AMS, so if i do get it i'll be sure to lower the venue.

As i have posted many times before, i try to lower the venue as much as possible, it was 8 and 5 for OV5 but very few of the smashboards players actually showed up, again it was the SF4 pulling the weight, they "do" use the more expensive equipment though so thats usually the argument i present when they ask why the venue is split between smash and SF. If i can get 20 people confirmed to come to the tournament, i can guarantee that the venue for smash players will be reduced to 5 for pre-reg and 10 for drop-ins.

Hope that helps but i'm well aware that there will be a bunch of complaining so i'll do what i can.

[breez]

Attending.

edit: The venue fee is pretty ridiculous. Otherwise, obviously the SF4 community should pay according to the amount of people showing up for the events total. Anything other than an even distribution among each player is ridiculous. What a stupid and selfish idea - who would honestly propose something like this?

doing what i can to keep these tournies going, the SF4 people usually pay for about 3/4 of the venue so yea... i'm sure you've seen it as well during the past few OV events.

as long as we can get the numbers up, then the venue will go down like you said, everyone should pay according to the number of people showing up. Granted the numbers are never exact. During OV3 we had extra funds so the venue fees for OV4 and OV5 went down to 8. I was hoping to push them down to 5, for this tournament but were "even" now i think, so just to be safe i'm putting it back up to 10. Besides breez, equipment providers usually get in for less... is it really a problem for you or are you just worried about others.
