OTHER INTERNATIONALS FOR BAM7?
CURRENT AMOUNT RAISED: $10402.82

The current amounts are $1500 per west coast player, or $2000 per east coast/European.
The voting has now finished, and the end result is below:

Donations are the key to bringing any of your favorite players over, so please help us out!
You can donate via paypal via:
philippretty@gmail.com
You can also donate to me in cash at any local event.
If neither of these work, please PM me and we can discuss something else if you are still interested as I am happy to work with anything to help make this event more amazing.
There will be another series of donor only $150 bracket meets featuring the international players.
I've decided the above list is now final, It would be unfair to add others at this late of a stage now and would also cause problems with late notice.
HOW DO WE CHOOSE WHO COMES?

Happy voting!
DONATION INCENTIVES AND CURRENT DONATORS
The $150 club is back, other goals are to be sorted but the $150 club will be back for the exclusive, small scale meets with the internationals.
There is also the chance to be teamed with the international of your choice in your game of choice for everyone that has paid above $200, as well as previous incentives. This goes in
order of most paid to least paid in order of preference, so it means if you pay the most you get first choice!.
Seeing as I am organizing for these guys to be down a week in advance, there will be at least 1 meet the weekend before BAM7, then one the Thursday before and one the Monday after BAM7.
So currently there is 3 tentative meets.
I will not put an immediate limit on the $150 mark club, but there will be a limit if the numbers get crazy unless people can help me host exclusive meets on other days (Super HoC
Tuesday? Talk to me guys)
