...So organizing a legitimate in-person tournament to get some activity going in Alaska is considered "dumb****" now? o.o


Edit: I also see that you haven't updated any of my mains and secondaries that I posted a while back. >.>

As for the challenges listed in the second post of the thread, I think Orry and Tri should be replaced by Phillip and John and it should be Team JC, not Wasilla.

Okay, so are we smashing before or after bowling? And if so, where?

[EDIT] Some smashers expressed an interest in helping with Senshi-Con. What I need tournament-wise is for people to help out at the tio station when I have to go play a match or go find somebody (I would prefer smashers in the community, not some inexperienced n00bs because they will **** up the tio brackets...lol), queue up matches on the projector/monitor, and make sure that all scheduled matches are being played out rather than friendlies on those tvs. I've got everything all set up as far as rules and organization, so the help I'll need will be stuff that's actually on con day. And of course, bringing setups. I'll talk to the people at the staff meeting Saturday and see if we can work out some kind of incentive for people who bring stuff.

Fang and Che will be doing commentary for Brawl finals at the stage.

If it's over there I might not be able to make it, since it's kinda out of the way and stuff. We'll see. I might be able to do something at my house as an alternative if I get everything cleaned up tonight.

Bowling @ 7??

Grass, lol wut?

SenshiCon was good and GameCon was okayish(smash tournament was somewhat of a joke). You guys have been talking about BiWeeklies (which was suggested by myself) for 2 months. Where's the BiWeeklies? Is that what the PnT tourneys are supposed to be? As far as the venue fee goes, that's just how tournaments in the real world are held, haven't you ever been to one? I haven't but I've done my research. Looking forward to TourneyPlay 4 too. And lastly, you didn't even answer my question. >.>

And Kira, I think I'd be able to assist you with the tio station. I'm pretty fluent with working with tio.

So without a venue fee, I'd be looking at either paying for the venue by cutting a sum out of the pot or charging $15 per tournament entrant. What the ****?

I don't think so. O_O I mean, I wish we could do biweeklies and it MAY be a possibility if there is enough interest (seems like every time I run a tourney there we end up having to compete with something else...!) but in the end it's really not up to me, it's up to the store. If I can show the owners that there would actually be support for this, we might be able to.

Tournaments in SoCal (and I assume other regions) DO have venue fees, but usually only if they are held in an actual venue, in which case the venue fee goes toward actually paying off the location. Some tournament hosts are greedy and want to take money from people for having a tourney at their parents' house, in which case people have tended to avoid their tournaments. :x I guess a $1-$2 venue fee if they have to pay for electricity or something might be warranted, but if anyone's paying $5+ for venue fee alone it better be a REALLY nice venue.

I realize it's hard in Alaska because we simply wouldn't have enough attendees to make up the cost of renting out a facility, which is unfortunate. I do wish I could do tournaments with cash prizes and nice systems but anywhere you go it costs hundreds of dollars to rent and people won't want to pay all that if they feel like they're just going to be giving their money to Derek/Arthur/Che/whatever top players go.

Sounds like the plan is smash at Savageau's starting sometime in afternoon (??), head to bowling around 7, then smash somewhere afterwards like either go to my house or back to Savage's.

Yeah, I understand that and didn't intend any dissing on any of the PnT tourneys. I mean they're nice to have. What if the venue fee was cut to $5 and the tourney was $10 each? Bigger payout and maybe a payout down to 4th/5th place too. ;D

O hai. I have a question for those who go to UAA or have already been accepted. How long did it take for you to find out whether you were accepted or not?
