Lets Brawl Toronto will be hosting several tournaments in the greater Toronto area in the near future.

There will be an entrance fee of:
20$ for singles
30$ per team for doubles

Prizes will be distributed from a percentage of the collected revenue whereby:

60% will go to first place
30% to second place and
10% to third place.

Standard tournament rules will apply. Further information including rules, stages and tournament format will be available upon request.

**This is not a basement tournament.

Thank you for your time, Let's Brawl Toronto hopes to see you soon!




*************** UPDATE [10/01/08 ]*****************




Upon having gathered further information regarding the tournament, two things became apparent:

1) Due to geographical reasons, the players who have a fair bit of travelling to do would want an increase in the cash prizes.

2) Logistics are a big concern and therefore the location of the tournament would have to comply with easy public transit access.


To accommodate these predicaments, we’ve made some changes to our initial tournament set up:

1) We’ve narrowed the possible locations down to North York and downtown Toronto for the simple fact that it facilitates the travel for those seeking public transportation.

2) In order to increase the cash prizes, we’ve upped the entry fees as follows:
Singles entry fee is now 20$
Doubles entry fee is now 30$ per team (15$ per player)
We’ve also introduced a 5$ spectator fee (fee not applicable to players who’ve entered in either singles, doubles or both)

Here is the result of the new changes:

SINGLES

For 128 participants:

1st place WINNER 1152$
2nd place RUNNER UP 576$
3rd place BRONZE 192$

For 256 participants:

1st place WINNER 2304$
2nd place RUNNER UP 1152$
3rd place BRONZE 384 $



DOUBLES

For 64 participants:

1st place WINNER 844$
2nd place RUNNER UP 422$
3rd place BRONZE 140$

For 128 participants:

1st place WINNER 1688$
2nd place RUNNER UP 844 $
3rd place BRONZE 280 $

Stay tuned for future updates.

[KingAce]

I would come

 

[AvariceX]

I've already posted in the AiB thread on this, but I will come to any nearby tournaments I can make it to (which due to college, won't be very many).

 

[Gichan]

I'll be going to these for sure.

 

[4Serial]

maaaaaaaaaaybeeeeeeeeeee

a date and location would be nice
like around november or something?

 

[AvariceX]

4Serial: It sounds like he's talking about a series or circuit of tournaments, not just 1, so I wouldn't expect to see a single date just yet.

 

[LetsBrawlToronto]

Based on the information we gather, the tournament may be held in Richmond Hill, North York or Toronto Ontario. We hope to encourage more than just the people living in those areas to join.
Depending on the number of participants, we will formulate a bracket for which the first half rounds will be best 2 out of 3 and the second half will be best 3 out of 5. Standard tournament rules will apply meaning no items, 3 stocks, 7 minute timer, MK's infinite cape glitch banned and any kind of stalling will not be tolerated. Neutral stages and counter picks. We anticipate our first event will take place between late November and mid December. Updates are coming as soon as more information is obtained. Thank you and stay tuned.

 

[AvariceX]

Ooo any time after the second week of December and I can make it for sure.

 

[Fizzi]

Is this MLG related? I'm sure if it's to be a big tournament some of us from Montreal would be interested in going. Chances to play the Toronto guys? Hell ya I'm in.

 

[Sylvantes]

From the sounds of it, this is going to be pretty big for Toronto. Count me in. I've been waiting for a big one, not so excited about those weekly tourneys. And I'd love to play you guys from Montreal!!!

 

[.Marik]

I'm interested. =)

 

[Anth0ny]

OH GOD YES I'D COME.

I would come

And because of this comment, so will at least another 10-20 people

Based on the information we gather, the tournament may be held in Richmond Hill, North York or Toronto Ontario.

Richmond Hill please! That's like a 10 minute drive for me

Surely I'm not the only one who wants them in Richmond Hill...right?

 

[Mikey7]

I would come out.

 

[Hype]

I'd show up

I live in mississauga

It all depends on the feedback we receive. While we have intentions of hosting an event in Richmond Hill, it may not come until the latter part of January. Our main focus is to tend to the biggest community – that said, which location would appeal more to you guys?

North York or Scarborough.

Those are my hoods. <3

But yeah, Etobicoke is the closest for me right now. (I'm in 'Sauga)

 

[The_Fool]

I would be interested in coming.
That being said, I'm coming from Mississauga, thanks.

 

[Sylvantes]

I would like North York, since it's got such great public transportation. That would make it easy for people who don't drive.

 

[bryan_ep]

I would eneter along with like 4 or 5 other ppl who wont post saying so.

 

[JvaN_]

NORTH YORK PLZ. If it's there, then I'll come 100%, barring possible Uni assignments. I'm okay with other places, but North York is, like, right there from my place.

 

[FatalX]

Anywhere near Markham please, lol.

We've had enough Sauga/Niagara tourneys lol, make one at Scarbz or North York.

If it was near Markham I'd definitely go. I'd honestly go if it were anywhere, but if it's too far I got no transport since parents won't give me one. They won't let me take the bus either.

But yeah I'd definitely attend if it were near Markham, I really wanna get more into this competitive scene in Ontario.

 

[Sylvantes]

From the looks of it, north york seems most popular

 

[IvanEva]

I hear that Ottawa is a great place to have a tournament. It's not too far from Toronto...

*ahem* doesn't really matter where it is, some Ottawa guys would love to go down to it. Having plenty of time for the where/whens is important though. As somebody mentioned, will this be an ongoing tournament series or something?

 

[.Marik]

I hear that Ottawa is a great place to have a tournament. It's not too far from Toronto...

LOL, Only five hours.

 

[RaynEX]

I'd show up randomly for the lulz and to see Phil.

 

[tha_carter]

North York, or Mississauga would be a good place.... theres a good amount of brawlers in both areas....

But North York would be the most accessible because of a much better public transit.

 

[redgreenblue]

I would DEFINITELY come. **** I've been waiting for a brawl tourney here in to.

 

[Deleted member]

could you swing Sundays instead of saturdays?

cause then i'd definitely go. most of our brawl tournaments are on sundays

 

[Gichan]

Horth York is the best spot, easily accesible to everyone cause of TTC, not like the laaaameee transit in Sauga, plus Toronto (the immediate city) needs a tourney.

 

[buenob]

LOL it's only 4 hrs unless you drive like your parents

I was almost about to come down a day early and try to get in on RyanEX's basement tourney but then I found out it's melee only I know it's epic lulz but I only play brawl

I can say that if the location is easy to get via public transportation you'll probably get some ottawa peeps up more often than not

[unknown522]

bernard, I'll team with you

 

[RaynEX]

Lets do it. Double MK.

 

[tha_carter]

Id suggest you pick a day, and place quickly.

And spread the word everyway imaginable if you hope to get 250+ contestants.

I'm sure they know what they are doing, although 250+ contestants is a whole lot. I think spreading the word in everyway imaginable goes hand in hand with taking time to pick the perfect date and perfect place. I think this thread is part of spreading awareness. I'm **** excited, plus they already announced its going to be in late november or early december. Look at the cash prize, I'm so in!!!!!!! I LOVE TORONTO!!!

 

[Bug~]

hmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Anth0ny]

Holy crap if we want that many people we're gonna need a date soon so that we could tell all the scrubs to show up

 

[pastaboy]

holly poo i wuld come to this, so many local tournys so soon ^_^

u can count in most of niagara too

 

[buenob]

ya i'd say that early december would be the best (ie. before exam season, far away from christmas and not conflicting with the niagra tournament)

 

[Sylvantes]

When is this niagra tournament? Link please?
