Gas is about like...81sh cents in Edmonton?
Safeway gives you like a dollar back for i dunno, 40 dollars of gas? lol. Could buy you that pop that hypes you to victory
Venue can't be north. Its more like center of edmonton : / (=30 min drive from Fort).
Anyways goin for doubles with Solar-boy. MIGHT hit up singles if im feelin confident that day (yes luke im lookin at you for smashes). Afterall I don't own a wii.
EDIT: Confirming im bringing a gamecube for melee (lulz)
EDIT2: nvm the gamecube. Not going to bring that trash game to this.

Yeah >_> Thats why it should be 10 dollars per person =_=What's wrong with it?
Some people actually plan on winning doubles.

can the doubles fee be bumped up to 10 dollars per person? 5 per person isn't even worth it
Llumys

Oh, I understood that doubles ended up being $10 per person. <_<;
I'll be teaming with Rob. I think it's obvious that I'm not expecting too much from doubles now. ;P

But if fees get bumped up then that means I have -5 dollars for bubble tea D:

How so? If you win then you win money... Stop being a greedy SOB

It just takes some of the seriousness out of the doubles tournament. The prize money will be like maybe 60 bucks each for 1st place team.
Alphicans

Yeah 200 starter pot is cool, but honestly who can't afford 5 bucks? Honestly I can find that on the ground in change every day. It's just that every tournament hosted here has been 10 dollar entry fee, so this feels kind of weird. And I honestly don't think anyone really cares too much about the 5 bucks except Jim, but I know he's half kidding cause he's literally loaded.
Dezmu
Smash Ace
its only $5 for each person for teams. Singles are still $10
oh and there is a stupid site fee that even I HAVE TO PAY which is 1 buck. I hope this doesn't deter anyone from coming

it shouldn't deter anyone, but i'd have a boatload of loonies ready for change for five dollar bills >_>

$10 per team member please... anything lower makes doubles a joke... you can't really have half the tournament be a joke...
Vitality
Smash Ace
but, its already so expensive at $25 Q_Q
Btw TO shouldn't be giving in so easily to pressure. Just put your foot down and tell everyone to stfu.

OoP players = at least standard pricing lets be serious.

Smash Master
I'm going to have to agree with this. Standard pricing for a tournament this size should be between $10-15 per person, per event. $5 is something you would charge at a small smashfest with 10-15 people or something.
Dezmu
Smash Ace
I don't feel pressured at all. I just dont care what the entri is. if every tournament on the planet is 10 bucks per member for teams then so be it
i seriously hope this implies tere will be 30+ people coming
x After Dawn x
Smash Master
Put it this way...if you're not hosting the tournament at your house and if it's not a side event (and obviously this is one of the main events), then it should be at least $10.

no worries shiro...we know what we're doing ;D

I am but the humblest son of a shepherd and a gravedigger.
Now not only am I not entering doubles because I don't feel like it, but because I don't want to spend that kind of money.
5 dollars is a lot of money.

Llumys, I am pretty sure you could get a partner if you asked around. In other news, not being able to afford 5 bucks is not only total lols, but is probably a lie. In other words, stop being a plug.

Was posting for the lulz. too bad nobody will see it. Was feeling cheap and since Luke was gettin styled by Murdamoe decided to join in the fun.

personally, i'm fine with $5... my chances of taking money in doubles are quite low, so why wouldn't i be? it's the idea that with OoP coming, this is no longer just one of those small local tournaments, so we should be doing it properly. $10 is standard for a reason. it's shiro's first time hosting smash, and it's shaping up to be a good one, so why not do it right?
as for TO's giving in to pressure...that's definitely what they should be doing, although there's less of a negative connotation if you say "listen to your players", because that's what it is. look at the regional zones and see pit322 or w/e post about his melee tournament in calgary. if he had stubbornly stuck with what he had in mind originally, there probably wouldn't have been a whole lot of people going.

I'm able to afford 5. 10 is too much for me to want to care. It's a decision to minimize the money I spend during a recreational event. Get me now?
Llumys
Smash Champion
Sorry, I don't team with people I don't know. I don't find doubles fun if I don't know my partner's habits. It's all about the teamwork, and I don't think good teamwork can be attained well by two strangers unless they're both quite skilled and good at doubles.
Also, $5 can make quite a difference when short on money. You've been living a nice sheltered life, apparently.

Smash Master
agreed
How 'sheltered' can you be for $5 to make such a difference when you're spending enough money on gas and other costs to drive from one province to another for a gaming tournament? I mean, usually TOs bump up the money for oop players that are coming to tournaments for that reason. Didn't you have a job?
Llumys
Smash Champion
Paying money for entertainment and being tight on money can go hand-in-hand. Just because you have enough money to do what you want, doesn't make not wanting to spend an extra $5 laughable. It's not like everyone can just throw their money here and there.
x After Dawn x
Smash Master
I would agree if $5 was spent in multiple occasions so that it would add up, but this is just a one-time thing. That extra $5 doesn't really affect the decisions any TO would choose for any future tournaments.
Llumys
Smash Champion
Definitely. I was just offended that Luke was mocking people who don't want to spend an extra $5. :\ I don't think anyone was trying to make it cheaper. I assume they were just explaining their situations.
Alphicans
Smash Hero
Not mocking him. He even admitted the reason wasn't finances, it was just him thinking it wasn't worth it. I called him out for lying about it being too expensive for him and I was right.
x After Dawn x
Smash Master
lol...well it kinda depends on who you're asking. For people who know they'll get top 3 in teams (not going to name any people...), they obviously want it more, and the others generally want it less. So I just tried giving a little suggestion since I won't be attending this anyway and it won't hurt my wallet in any way.
Llumys
Smash Champion
Anyway...
Is there a set schedule yet?
