Gameren, yes it has the word Game in it!
Please lets not makes this into whos better at brawl conversation. Theres been such a lack of activity in the UK in regards to brawl that any argument is pretty much ungrounded. Wait for future tournaments please ;)

Will - no chance lol not enough time.

Uck -glad to see your interested from one host to another.

Joey - Date isnt confirmed yet so you never know! Also, you give good advice. Calais -> Dover ferry crossing with P&O is only £25 one way (pretty much 25 euros). Theres alot of crossings this cheap and in the summer months. A return is then £50. Get a car of five people and thats only £10 each!!! Petrol from calais to sunderland (tournament locality) would be about £160 return (at most). Thats about £32 each in a small engine car. If your travelling from north france, holland then your thinking petrol be around £50 each at very very most. For the fun of a road trip this is a pretty good option!!

Anyways Kone, let me know if there is any change in the dates, I will convince Guido to come to.

If the date is anything else then July, I prolly will come by car and have room for 2 other people.

Not going to pack my car with 5 people to make it more hectic. 4 is the limit ^^ We need to have the middle space on the back-seat for beer booze and FOOD.

Plus I do not want a person flying to the front window when I have an accident. ( Safty belt in middle nope!)

He said he'll post that when the dates are confirmed. I'm eager to know for myself aswell though. Since I'm sure he doesn't want to stay with 3 teenage dutchies for possibly a whole week on end.

Im expecting to have to house alot of foreigners outside of the actual tournament housing (ie the 2/3 nights at the venue). As so, aslong as you dont mind potentially being cramped, then housing will be offered and ill be able to accomodate you tierse ;). I dont expect people to have to find hotels etc unless you want to. If so, let me know, and ill post up hotels and hostels in the area.

The start of the Dutch holiday differs per region. My region (mid Holland) Starts at 13-7-2009 ( My birthday ;) ) The other area's will start 1 week earlier or later depending on what region. So I think the latest date for the start of Dutch summer holiday would be at 20-7.

Edit:

regio noord 04 juli 2009 23 augustus 2009
regio zuid 18 juli 2009 06 september 2009
regio midden 11 juli 2009 30 augustus 2009


1st = Northern region
2nd = Southern region
3rd = Mid Region

Just so you know. I'd say which parts consists of what cities but I doubt you know Dutch regions. :)

Summer Holidays in France begin around the 5th July.

Please have Brawl as an event equal to Melee ._.
no offence, but unlkely to happen. brawl has always, and even more recently been seen as the poor cousin to melee. might be brawl events, but melee's always gonna be the main attraction
you know, what with it being not as good and all that

You do realise Brawl community in France is rather big yes? And it would be silly to not capitalise on the amount of players interested from both communitys. And why would having a brawl event in this tournament be unlikely? Cater to both communitys = epic tournament.

bad smashie: as we've said MANY times now we wont this to be a melee and brawl tourney both running on par with eachother.

BUT we still have some issues to work out so we cannot advertise it as such. if all goes to **** it will then, and only then!!!, it will be a melee only tournry.

either way dont worry, the information will be released way in advance, its not going to be a last minute thing =/ this is KONES!! tourney you know. THE ONE AND ONLY KONE. the man has always hosted amazing events and has NEVER had an event that wasnt epic!!!

I'll try to make it if it's only Melee, but if there's Brawl as well YES YES ALL OVER MY FACE YES.

(If there's Brawl there I'm definitely trying my hardest to make it there)

(Also don't kill me for posting the generic response seen many-a-time in this thread ._.)
