Food:
We are about 3 blocks from all the major fast food joints. There is a taco bell, Hardees, KFC, McDonalds, Subway, Cousins, Rocky Racoco's. Some are farther away then others. I am not sure about in-campus food, but I know there are vending machines around there somewhere =/

BYOC

***These rules were taken directly from Big C's big tourney. The only thing I changed is Delphino Plaze is a neutral. But again, for those of you who were there, from what I heard, this was a greatly run tourney. So I figure its best to keep that kinda thing.

Like I said before, it is a fundraiser, but they are only taking the entry fee. But the pots will not have anything taken from it.

I am really hoping both MN makes it as well as Illinois, along with all of WI. This is the center of the state, so its not that far for most people. Also, post if you need housing. I can house about 25 people for friday and saturday.

The room is quite big, so we have ample space, and 10 hours is a lot of time. So post up.

PM me if you need my address if you are planning on staying at my house for friday or saturday.

question im new to the tournement scene and idk if ill even be able to make it but can u be in both singles and teams if u pay for both?

Yes you can.

I would really like to know if people are interested in this, seeing as how there is gonna be plenty of local people coming from the college, so money is available =D

Any questions can also be directed my way. The fundraiser is for my organization. Thanks for participating.

I'll go if other people from MN go and it doesn't interfere with another tournament or something.

I gotta see how much money I have around then, and if I can get off work... but this is definitely a possibility for me....

I would need housing for sure.

I will for sure be participating as I'm a student at UWSP. If you need housing, don't worry. There are a ton of students whose dorm room you can crash in.

The downside to this, is that our dorm rooms are quite small. Groups would have to be split up, as each dorm can only hold 1-2 people, 2 if you don't mind sleeping on the floor, and assuming both residents use lofts.

It'd probably be best to crash at Zicore's place, and I bet since he'll probably come Cosmo could house a few... and there's Gary aka Black Hayate's house, if you can put up with his mother (or so I'm told)

Dillon, shut up.

But I can house about 20 people, which hopefully should be enough.

i can't house anyone, unless you want to see a scary asian women

btw paul, the name should be "this game sucks" lol

eof will come to this if this is the name

I'm gonna vote, like I said on AIM that the tournament be called Wakizashi. It's a play on Daisho, essentially saying that the con is the main thing, and the tournament is smaller but just as important.

Winona will be there; +3 for entrants.

I think you should name it, this is a melee tournament "aka fun tournament".

My tournament experience is that the environment is more fun than the actual gaming. It's about being around a group of people with the same interests, not just playing the game. Have more in mind than just the gaming, think about it as a social event.

Hey Zicore, if there's more people from MN I'll definitley make it, but even still, I'm pretty sure I'll get there one way or another. I would need housing too, just to let ya know.

cause everyone knows the rules.

but we might actually have like...a double elim. side tourney for melee if it doesn't interfere with anything. Cause like...chexr and aaron and good at both games, and they will be doing well in brawl, and I don't want to be delayed cause they are doing one game and have matches in the other...and if anything, we can just finish it at my house.

mmmmi sure am excited :D

Seems like this tourny is getting a nice buzz here in Point. I've talked with a few people from Eau Claire that said they will be attending.

Also, who is bringing setups? We have access to quite a few, but the more the better since we will have ample space.

Agreed, I'd like to see constant friendly play going on in between matches.

Me and Toe are teaming for this, get ready to be chaingrabbed like ***, since we both main Dedede.

@Chexr - 3$mm kirby ditto, whenever
@Aaron - 2$mm whenever
@Hayate - 2$mm whenever
@Dragmire - 1$mm whenever
*I'd rather not do the mm's online cuz it doesn't really show off skill...hint hint it's brawl not melee.

Ill come to This. I would like to stay at zicores just because its fun like always. Grandpa raptor? I like the idea of locals attending =0

Devy: cool I'll do it if I can make another ganon ditto (lol sparta)

scratch that It's too far unless someone could support a ride

Maybe

I guess since this is melee too

I think I will have the melee thing at my place the night before. If we can have 25 people or so...thats really good. If anything, we can have 2 or 3 setups on the side for the melee tourney...

Count Jiggy in, and I may just do doubles with a friend. Should be fun.

Hayate Team with me?

Team name?: Fondling her yum yums with tenticles.

Just wondering if people would like the entry fee for teams raised to $10 per person per team, or if its fine the way it is...

dude make it 10 teams is the only thing worth doing

I'll try to go and bring a set up

Fade will bring 1 wii and 1 brawl. no tv

is there any people from southern WI coming?

if i go i'll take mm's against my nontechnical melee fox

$10 each for teams is normally the best. Other wise you only get 1/4 of first for singles and teams generally is more fun and gives different people better chances. Like Meza and Sago

It's fine the way it is. I'm really looking forward to the teams tourny, I've never done one, and it seems like teams is the way to go in Brawl.

What is this, a white bread convention?

I just got gamecrazy to sponsor this event, and they have offered free gift certs to the winners, free coupons, free stuff (idk what it is, but its like...collectible things from games...) and possibly a prerelease wii setup with Mario Kart Wii which comes out that night. Woot.
