Brian it is a Saturday. IMO we should be starting around 1-2pm so we can finish and enjoy our weekend. I think we get a lot of new people considering and giving them a great experience + time to go home at a reasonable hour really makes a great impression.

On this note I will say that I have johnned the last few times about arrival time, but like I rather not make it and have singles be on time etc etc. I mean it sucks but us travelers have to be accountable at some point.

I will say I hate driving home late from tourneys cuz my eyes buggin out, and I could randomly pass out on the roadteezy. Not taking stabs at Brian, but just saying what drivers do have to go through when it comes to things starting late.

Well guys we need to step up and come early. Lets show Brian that we are responsible and will help the community out as much as possible.


Max / T.Webb / Prog lets all bring our Recording setups.

Everyone just show up early. Lets get this going.

i really dont know what approach to go with ... i even said that if everyone that is coming shows up on time i will do draft crews after 100%. I really think draft crews with hype is really fun but if we have a like 4v4 thing i rather just do money matches/friendlies with people.

The faster things are done the better. Whether Draft crews are the result of it or not is not the point. The point is a better experience overall.

I'll make it a point to come early, eat/blaze beforehand so I dont leave the second I get to the venue, bring my recording setup and not get black out drunk the night before.

i'm well aware of that ... my point was that people want draft crews but its those same people that call saying they are almost here or are running late or w.e ... i can't cater to EVERYONE ... and if i just start being a jerk and starting it at 2pm on the dot people would just complain or wouldn't come ... so i just need people to show up on time so that things will be great and run perfect !

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to

wow, your rating just went down to TG-13.

I might be here earlier than expected, we're looking to peace out from my grandmother's house after lunch, so I might make singles.

People will learn to come early if you hound them...thats just my opinion.
