The 27th is iNET as Zoro said. This date the 21st worked out with our other tournament schedules at present.

If you can't make this one, go to the November 10th or the November 24th tournament!

Clearly I may have to go find someone's couch to crash on for a week or so around that time so as to hit up all the cool tournaments going down.

Thomas, what you SHOULD do is convince hozart to start playing again. That way you get a ride, and we get hoz playing smash again. Besides, you know you want him playing for you if everyone goes all crew-battle happy again next tournament.

Ok. vZakat and myself should be making this one. Unlike last gigs, I'll actually have money to attend this. Hopefully nothing family related comes up and makes me drive home for that weekend.

Why not the sunday after the 13th or somethin? I dunno, just plz don't hold it the day of Smash Bash. If the sunday after fine I guess. People might be able to find housing here then drive back for Gigabits or something. Maybe I'll be able to go to Giga this time.

Lets keep our fingers crossed for this one.

This is pritty much the reason CFL doesnt go to SFL tourneys. There is always a CFL tourney on the same day which will probably have better attendance.

And maybe the fact that none of our cars would make it to SFL anyway.

Were any CFL even planning on going to your tourney Seibrick? I don't know of any, so gigs being on the same date wouldn't make much difference.

I would drive twice as far for a tournament with twice as many people... maybe Seibrik should consider bringing his turnout to Gigs, and we can just have a huge Gigs again. How far south is Seibriks tourney from UCF?

At least change it to the 20th, Sunday is a really bad date for SFL since we have to drive back and school is the next day.

Like colbol noted, the 19th, or that Friday, is a much better date. This considering us high schoolers have a day off. Though the 20th wouldn't be too bad...who cares about homecoming? :p

So Raistlin, are we going to this? I'm not sure if I can make it 'cause it's on a Sunday, but I can try.

Yea, if me and Raistlin make this, we might not be able to stay for singles cuz we have to drive HOME too. But we'll probably be there for doubles!
