Considering going to this. Like I said on the FB event page I'd need PM Singles to be $10 though. Not that I need money or anything but driving 11 hours for a side event is a no-go just on principle. Any guesses on expected turnout for PM? Would love to see dubs too.

Like Tech_Chase, Xatic, and I have been saying throughout the previous pages, there is no way we would be able to run a full tourney for Brawl and Project M at this when the venue closes at 11pm making doubles not an option. The sheer amount of crossover would put the main event in jeopardy.

Project M was added to this event as a side event so that is the key thing here. A price rise on the is certainly an option, but that is something that needs to be discussed by the staff.

I looked through the past like 3 pages and all I saw was some crew battle hype and Roller posting jokes about people. Haha. Well I might still come if Singles is bumped up to $10 but it depends on expected turnout. Might just stay home or hang out in Chicago instead. I'd love to see the Michigan peeps again tho.

Tech chase said it was up to Xatic and Xatic was okay with it being $10 so...

All of you ******* saying maybe if it's raised need to show otherwise keep your mod as a crappy side event

Yeah uh I got slammed with court fees today ($400) that I didn't expect at all so I literally can't make this. Dip. Sorry for making a fuss about PM's entry fee and doubles and then not going but I was actually planning on going until today.

$5 fee since both the people ******** about their side event aren't coming anyways, maybe more brawl players will fill the pot then

I went from confirmed to possibly confirmed.

This weather scare is the only thing holding me back from going.

We'll see if the Earth ends tomorrow.

Copied/Pasted from FB

Schedule:
10am Doors Open
11am Doubles Start
1:30pm Project M Singles Begin
2:30pm Brawl Singles Pools Wave 1
4:00pm Brawl Singles Pools Wave 2
6:00 Brawl Singles Bracket Begins
11pm Venue Closes

No the start-time for doubles is NOT a typo. We WILL be starting doubles at 11am. We do not have access to the auditorium we've been using in the past, so we legitimately HAVE to be out of there at 11pm. No questions asked.

In sight of this, I'm reminding everyone of these rules for your tournament sets. If you are 5 minutes late to your match you will lose the first game. If you are 10 minutes late you will lose the set. No sympathy. If you cannot find your opponent, let us know ASAP so we can act accordingly. Not letting us know means that we cannot take proper action because we were not aware.

We'd like the make this an enjoyable event for both you guys and ourselves so please make an effort to be at the venue BEFORE 11am if you want to enter Brawl Doubles. Tech_Chase and FishFlop would much appreciate your cooperation.

Thanks Bros -- See you Tomorrow

Pierpont notified me that the venue closes at 10:30pm this time, not 11pm.

Scott and/or Derek, I still need the money...

Panda Express is the best at the venue option for food imo. 2 Meats and a side (it fills you up too) is less than $9 iirc.
