I just ordered @_@ It sucks *** because the girl who told me the price when I got the estimate is, apparently, known to be confused about pricing and it's about $20 more than I originally thought but for real, that's okay. Just cuts down a tiny bit on how much I can spend on everything else.

I am redefining the concept of "keeping your fingers crossed" at the moment...and I'm also redefining my boundaries for what kind of stuff I can ignore XD [dammit CNU hahaha. The worst part is she's actually really cute, which I can say cuz my family is fukking beautiful XD]

Back to the pizzas...if there are over 80 people, I'll have to order more pizza XD

Thanks for the input, I went with option 1.



CNU PEOPLE - as far as housing people goes...people haven't given me many specifics as far as when they need housing [like, if they need it friday AND saturday or just one of the two nights] so if some people at the tourney end up needing housing and my place is full [I'll get a good idea of how much space I have friday night] I'm gonna be sending people your way...just a heads up [and I'll keep the number at 6 of course]

I'll try getting on AIM.

okay the deal with the venue is this:

There are two huge dorm buildings adjacent to each other. Typically, I reserve the awesome common room on the ground floor of Virginia House, which is Caboose's dorm. But that place can only COMFORTABLY hold 40+ people [which means it can actually hold a LOT more but, again, I'm stressing comfort at my tournaments].

I wanted this to be big so for a long time I've been trying to reserve a similarly designed ground-floor common room in the adjacent dormitory [Scotland House] in ADDITION to the one at Virginia House [which is confirmed] so that we can accommodate a larger crowd and maintain the appropriate level of comfort with the unfortunate inconvenience of being split apart. The added benefit is that we can also fit more setups in and get the tourney done in a more timely fashion.

Problem: Scotland House is being b;tchy about letting us reserve the common room there because none of us live there. I finally got a hold of someone who DOES live there who is trying to get it reserved for at LEAST a good enough number of hours to help out with the tourney [from 11 or 12 until 6PM]

Right now I'm just waiting to hear from him.

We've taken steps to reserve other places in Virginia House but it'll be rather inconvenient to do it that way and not very enjoyable [relatively speaking]

I rather concern about the idea of being in two buildings for this tournament. I realize you can't go and fix it now but how exactly are people going to keep an eye on their stuff if they are in the other venue? I imagine there's going to be a lot of moving back and forth between the rooms for this tournament. Another question is how are you going to enforce venue payment? If there's multiple entrances it's going to be easy for some people to sneak in and worst yet easy for people who should not be there (thief’s) to get in as well.

I will have dedicated staff members who will have to sacrifice the freedom to roam at this event by standing guard and ensuring people don't steal **** [we're going to also have a setup-check-in system]

Also, I'm working on a solid system for making sure only people who paid venue fee will be allowed entry.


To all of you who have offered your services for this tourney, I'll give out your roles on the day of the tournament. Thank you all =D Your support/dedication won't go unnoticed. ^_^



good questions, though :)


EDIT: **** ME that's embarrassing hahahah I completely forgot to update that part XD

okay it's updated but I'll PM you my address.

Is there any way you can take the big *** tables out of the room and set it up with smaller tables?

That'd be a good way to make the room more spacious

I'm debating a few things right now. Like maybe I'll have all of the tables pushed out from the center of the room so that they hug the walls and it leaves the entire middle open. I'll have to stop by the venue and experiment sometime in the next few nights...good call. But yeah I'm pretty sure all the tables are the same size, those others just seem bigger cuz they usually take up space that isn't being used for a setup.

thanks for the suggestions people...keep it up!

How many people REALISTICALLY are going to be coming to this tournament you think Toasty? I want a real number, I don't think all 77 people confirmed are going to make it.

I'm just trying to see if I can go to this. I have finals coming up soon and a lot of homework that's due so I am trying to see if its worth it, profit wise. Other wise, I need to stay at home and just work on my work for the weekend. I'll also go to BMX's tourney since it's close if I can't go to this.

In Southern Virginia, Toasty houses YOU.

I want to come to SoVa, but I accidentally your mothers.

Get at that meme joke. When I come, (if I can) challenge me for your dignity. If you beat me you are a respectable person. If not, I cast aspersions upon your characters and your general abilities as a smasher. I will also take your lunch money. If I beat enough of you, I will make a giant flail of change and bills, and go around whacking you with it. I will glue clippings from Tope's crazy man beard to it to make it not only bruise, but scratch you. With this weapon of evil and glory, I will win all my matches, because Tope's beard is infused with the power of victory.

Cow pies?

In all seriousness I love farms, my mom's cousin runs a dairy farm, I love driving the ATV. Except when the cow pies get caught in the wheels and I'm riding on the back D:

I need to get on the stick and start praticing my techs again or I'm just going to get 3 stocked >-<

Note: I'm sadly better at brawl then I was in melee.
