Here's the AiB page (If you're coming for Brawl you've almost certainly seen all the Brawl info on AIB, so I'm just going to talk about Melee here): http://allisbrawl.com/ttournament.aspx?id=6005

Everyone come play Melee!

If you haven't been to a BIO before, the venue is really nice, it's like a conference room in a hotel in downtown SF. We will most likely have tables, powerstrips, and free water provided for us. We will get one side of the ballroom for Melee (like Genesis), though smaller since it's primarily a Brawl tourney. I'm running it, hopefully with a few others, so rest assured it will be run well.

You can see a pic of the venue here:http://allisbrawl.com/forum/topic.aspx?id=102748

BUT we still need you to bring TV's, setups, and recording equipment! Please also click on the "I am attending" thingy on AiB!

Venue address: Sir Francis Drake Hotel, Franciscan Ballroom, 450 Powell st, S.F. California, United States
Notes: *In the middle of Downtown SF which means NO PARKING *Luxurious Hotel *Free Water brought to you by Venom, BIO Girl and the Sir Francis Drake *More Details to come
Parking Info - This website has a list of nearby Garages. The cheapest seems to be Ellis-O'Farrell at 123 O'Farrell St. which is ~2 blocks away.

Time: Aug 22.
Doors open at 10, we will start taking signups basically immediately, and we'll start the tourney around Noon. The tourneys are all on Saturday. Sunday there will be Melee but probably just friendlies.
MAKE SURE YOU COME ON TIME, WE HAVE UNTIL 10PM TO FINISH, SO WE MUST START EARLY.

Entry fee: $5 per person, $3 venue fee VALUE! Brawl pays $5 entry fee and has $15 entry.

Rules: Genesis Ruleset. AKA, same junk as normal, but with the following changes:
Japes and Green Greens banned.
Semifinals are also 3/5
Pools will be random reset, bracket will be stage striking (with DK64 on for the 7th stage).
BRING SETUPS!

As far as I know we have both days in the room, so we can do whatever the hell we want basically. Though if not many Melee people show up, they will probably commandeer some of the room for Barlw friendlies and/or SF4/Blazblue/etc. So everyone come! Hub house has no excuse!

Wrong, $5 venue fee is taken out of the $15 singles entry. The rest goes to the pot. Same applies to Doubles.

Don't post dumb false information without actually knowing what you're talking about =p

David can you edit the first post and copy/paste some of the info on the AIB front page into it, cause a lot of people here don't have AiB accts or go on it at all. Or give the thread to me and I'll do updates, either one.

Bumpin' dis.

This is going to be a legit tourney everyone, consider this just like a CGC except a nicer venue. If you ain't got **** to do that Saturday you better show up! Plus Socal and assorted OOS will be there!

I'll team with you Zhu if you wanna.

Everyone go to this!
Don't forget that you'll have to find parking around Union Square. It may be $$$. But this is a $8 tourney and a really nice venue.

Again just reminding you, WE NEED SETUPS! Tables, chairs, and power strips will be provided but we need the rest!

What would be the best way to drop off TVs to the venue? Walking 2 blocks in SF carrying TVs is bizzare, not to mention dangerous.

Sheen, I suppose if you come with multiple people, drop them off at the front and have them carry the TV's there, or try to get a hold of someone already at the venue, e.g. one of the TO's, and have them come down and get it. It may be odd carrying a TV but you're also in San Francisco where people are used to seeing odd things and not caring, and Union Square is pretty safe.

Brandon, I'll ask about wireless internet for livestream. Are we going to have enough laptops to livestream, record matches, and run tio at the same time?

I will edit the first post with parking information later today.

Oh right, ruleset.

Uh...let's say same as Genesis. Except I'm banning Green Greens and Jungle Japes! Pools is random resets, and brackets will have stage striking (with DK64 as a starter stage for singles), unless pools want stage striking by popular demand. Wobbling is allowed. More details later today (probably). And I want semi-finals to be 3/5 also!

Yay! Sheridan's Genesis HD Remix ruleset is too good! <3

Hi, MacD! <3
It was fun talking to you on Kyle's instant messenger, I hope I get to see you soon!
Should I keep my fingers crossed for an appearance at BIO? <3
