me and az win doubles for brawl =DDDD!!! <3 az
I can't even imagine how good we are going to be when we have actual practice/warm up for an event, ROFL. Not to mention teaming two events in a row (Genesis then EVO). Speaking of EVO, go buy your tickets already! I got the doubles pass set so all you need to buy is the singles.

I dropped $530 (but that does include a trip to Vegas for EVO).

I told sidefx this via pm, but for registration:

-Plan to have roughly 1 person taking registration for every 32-64 people you expect to attend. This means that you should, likely, have at least TWELVE people taking registration at this. These 12 people can have envelopes and paper (which should be pre-printed with collumns so all that is needed is a to write down a name and make a check mark for what they paid for, and then write down the total amount paid by the person). Every 10 names or so the helpers send off the paper to the head TO (the people who have TIO/computers) and then they get to work on another list (this way the TO's are actively entering people into a computer as the helpers are actively taking money and getting names down on paper). Go every 10 names so that another helper TO can confirm that the amount of money in the envelopes matches the amount shown on the piece of paper (helpers should be armed with calculators to save more time). MLG uses a system similar to this (except they have multiple computers so they don't need to do the hand-off system). Oh, and you can make each person stand for a part of the alphabet, aka person 1 takes registration from people with alias's A-C, then person 2 takes D-F, etc. The more organized the better.

Expect each registrant to take 1 minute to register. If you have 500 people and one person taking registration, thats 500 minutes (or about 8 hours, this was the mistake made at COT4, one person did registration for 300 people, a second person was added after about 2 hours but the damage was done, it took about 4-5 hours to get every registered. If you have 12 people that is just 41 minutes. For an event this size you should (likely) need 12 or more helpers anyways.

Remember, you set the WHOLE tempo of the tournament right at registration. If you don't do it quickly and efficiently, you set the whole tournament behind and can shoot yourself in the foot before you even get to stand. You don't want registration to take 2-3 hours with another 2 hours for creating pools and then suddenly you are playing catch up the ENTIRE weekend.
I really hope they read this and made sure that's happening.

one thing ive noticed, is you guys act as if genesis is already a failure, and that were trying to do whatever we can to "save" it

i know this is breaking all sorts of attendance records and what not, but trust. dbr does not know how to fail as far as entertainment goes.

were pulling out all stops for this, and have back up plans for our back up plans.



EVERYTHING has been thought out, and re thought out, and thought out again..

we spent the last 3 years as game testers, which is basically methodically testing **** to make sure its not ****ed up, so we have a tendency and a natural habit now of making sure the **** we do is completely solid.




also.. we have shirts (that will hopefully go into print tomorrow) that i wanted to put up for you guys to see.. im jumping the gun here cause its not 100% confirmed yet since we dont have them yet..

but........

what the hell.. even if it doesnt happen, (which im sure it will one way or another) i want to show off the design.







PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME ABOUT PRICES. ill post up more info if its 100% confirmed (ill know by tomorrow)



enjoy =)

**** sidefx you know how to make a wicked design. I'm torn between the black and white one. Hell if I can afford it I'll get both.

Have you considered a career in layout/logo design?

I like the shirts...I'm just unsure about what to tell my parents/friends if they ask "What does DBR means?"

Death by Resurrection?
Dawn before Righteousness?
other ides?

you could also just tell them it's a smash crew and you don't know what the letters stand for. that's probably what I would do with parents/PC friends who would not appreciate Death By ****.

So I was watching some vids with commentary just now and I think the west coast use of "hella" is the same as the east coast use of "mad".

WC: "Grandma's Boy is hella-funny."
EC: "Grandma's boy is mad funny, yo."

Last i heard Isai is, but not 100% sure.

Also i think only Nor-cal uses Hella, because ive talked to ppl from socal before (not just smashers) and they knew i was from norcal because i said Hella alot, but then again i wouldnt doubt it being a westcoast thing

hella = norcal. =D

which is why you hear it so much, cause norcal is where all the WC commentary comes from. waffles, and phil =D


but i guess hella is to norcal as mad is to new york


example:

Wes: "thats maaaaaaaaaaaaad homo son"
me "thats hella ****ing gay"

did "hella"come from that one episode of south park, or was that episode making fun of already popular slang? i'm guessing it's the latter.
