SAKURAI

Smashfests start at 3pm and end when I tell you to leave. If you'd like to come earlier, ask.
Tournaments start at 12pm. Do not come earlier than 11am. If everyone is timely we can usually start doubles by 1pm. Expect tournaments to end at 8 - 10pm, depending on attendance.

---
Where
425 Luthin Rd
Oak Brook, IL 60523

You can come from 294, 55, 83, Ogden, etc. Use google maps. The Metra BNSF line runs from Chicago to HINSDALE where you can catch a ride from a fellow smasher (YOU MUST GIVE ADVANCE).

Everything, once again, is in the basement. No ****ing house exploring.
New 8/9: No eating in the basement. You guys have lost privileges.

You must park on the close side and only the close side of the street to my house. If cars are parked on both sides, **** gets messy (and neighbors complain).

---
Why
I am hosting weeklies and tournaments to raise money for an OoS bonus for Sakurai 3 (August 21st). The link is at the bottom of the thread.

README
As an incentive for more setups, all players who do not bring one are required to make a donation. A full setup is a gamecube, disc, and tv and counts towards one player. The required donation is no less than $1 and $5 for Smashfests and Tourneys, respectively. This is a hard and fast rule and I will ask you to leave if you have a problem with it.

I encourage everyone to bring what they can, because it is all for your enjoyment. I will keep track of the venue pot and attendance at the Vro Zone on this thread, which will come in handy for Sakurai. :)

As CykoFox and Rat have already done, it is permissible to leave a setup here, for future use. Brian and Nick have done so for the past month and have not paid venue fee because of it.

---
How
:confused:

Break any of these rules and I will kick you out:
1. Failure to take your shoes off when inside.
2. No house exploring.
3. Do not bring a setup and refuse to donate.
4. Make a mess.
5. Be disrespectful to me or my house.

I'm positive I'm forgetting something.


GET READY FOR SCSYN 3!

The only thing I see conflicting is MAS, which is interesting. I believe Webster is keeping track of points and whatnot, but the Melee turnout hasn't been so hot. I'm willing to keep it the same date (unless overwhelming disapproval) in order to set the Vro Zone into place. With past attendance being so high, I can see ourselves getting 20+ people by the 3rd or 4th tournament, which is something I doubt will happen at Websters until a big bonus appears.

We'll see

First bolded: My Melee tournies do pretty well in attendance. :mad:

Have you seen my tournament thread for this month? :dizzy:

Please reconsider the date for this month.

vro, don't put the same dates as the MAS ones. those are pretty good and they help smash out quite a bit.

plus, you can have smashfests 2 times a week at your place anyway. those MAS tournies are once a month

I want to come to one of these. Vro, were you planning on continuing them past May? I know the rest of this month won't really work for me. I'm sure I can drag some other people from Purdue too.

dont forget *****es.

no exploring the house
Oh F that noise. If I'm coming I'm gonna go on a little scavenger hunt--exploring every nook and cranny of the place.

Yeah dude they will be going all summer, its what he did last year. I know me and DJ would like to come out here with you sometime Matt. Unfortunately I could only go if they are on the weekends, cuz i gotta work. I could do maybe one on a weekday.

Whats a nook and cranny?

Ya that could work out. I'm sure I can drag Anthony along too.

OMG, you are the biggest nub. If you don't know what a nook and cranny is then don't even bother talking to me.

Dart, I would house you but I don't plan on staying at my home in the suburbs outside of scheduled Vro Zones. This'd be much easier if you smoked and were down to come to my place in the city. I can't just extend this offer to anyone tho, I'm sure you can understand. PM me if you want to talk more

Eh well. I'm broke so I can't take the Metra out to Oak Brook (and then have money to donate on top of that). Maybe once for a special occasion.

I'm only 3 1/2 hours away. So I could drive 2 hours for Barwl or 3 1/2 hours for a Vro Zone. I most likely am going to spend an hour running away playing Brawl. So might as well drive here for Melee : D.
