[pockyD]

great, get everyone nice and sweaty before sitting down with them to play video games

 

[L__]

I can't wait to walk into an epic 8,000 square foot room full of sweaty dodgeball crazed smashers.

 

[Asdioh]

Maybe the first day can just be dedicated to dodge ball? That way we can get that out of the way since it's a popular idea.

How much is the dodgeball entry fee, and what are legal CPs?

[Linguini]

a;right so i want to buy the tickets today or tom.

what airport is best to arrive to?
can anyone house me most likely a couple days before/and after?

 

[sidefx]

were still toying with the idea of friendlies on the first day.. but we definately want to dedicate a time for friendlies.. we are still discussing things over and finding the perfect balance to fit everything in.

as far as WHEN friendlies will be.. im not 100% sure.. since depending on the size of the tournament (turn out of players) we would want to get the tourny done asap and finished on time, and possibly have friendlies after.

all of this is up in the air, we could just scrap it due to the amount of entrants.. but hopefully not.

i dunno, people being dirty and smelly is pretty much an implicit evil of smash tournaments... but there's no reason to explicitly add to it

 

[animeblitzballa33]

Maybe they do it just to get to people like you.

Says the guy whose username is "animeblitzballa33".

Sounds like a typical grimy, smelly tournament/animecon name.

 

[Corigames]

With words like that, it's time for a throw down.

I say, have a troll off.

 

[Niko_K]

I'll win that thank you very much!

Me an Scar gonna do man pride MM 10$ 3/5 Falconn dittos for THE TRUTH!!!

THE TRUTH!!!

 

[The King]

As much as I hate to be a downer about the whole thing, here's my take on Dodgeball at the tourney. From the looks of it, it was primarily suggested just in spur-of-the-moment fun, but before people start counting on it, here's the rundown.

For one, there's pretty much no way this will be happening inside the venue. While the doors are open to attendants, there won't be any time at all that the venue and equipment will be cleared out in such a way where space for dodgeball would be feasible. This tournament will be really strapped for time depending on the ## of entrants, and we're going to want as little downtime as possible to ensure everything finishes. There will also just be too many setups, tables, chairs, and people populating this room, and frankly I really don't want to have to worry about liabilities / accidents / damaged property / getting hit in the face with a ****ing ball / all that jazz.

Outside is a different story, but you'll also need to understand that the event is taking place within the Antioch Fairgrounds. Along with the building we've rented for the 3-day stretch, there are also two other smaller buildings in relative proximity that other people use to host their own events. As far as lawn areas go, there is a medium-size field and a large-size field nearby within the Fairground's property bounds, but these are basically rental options with the Fairgrounds themselves and could run us up to $300 / day just to reserve. Frankly this is money that could be much more well-spent towards the tournament, so we opted not to rent it. If another event doesn't rent out the field during the tournament I'm sure they'll let us use it and all that, but... it's the summertime, odds are an event will be renting out the lawn areas for themselves.

Just throwing all that out there.

 

[Pakman]

Everyone blame EGGM for getting our hopes up.

This was all his idea.

 

[Scar]

Yeah Eggm blows. p.s. I only would want dodgeball in the venue if dodgeball means Melee.

 

[Allin]

Yo so how bad would it be to fly into LA X or would a San Fran airport be better?

 

[Pakman]

Definitely San Fran Oakland or San Jose

 

[Sensei]

Eggm's a big jerkbag.

I need to start training for this tourney. Also, everyone should MM isai in ssb64. We should record all the matches.

 

[KevinM]

And make 50 combo videos out of... well his first match.

 

[The King]

Yo so how bad would it be to fly into LA X or would a San Fran airport be better?

Yeahhh...unless you want to take a 400-mile taxicab ride to the venue from LAX, you'll definitely want to fly into SFO or Oakland. =P

I want to team up with someone and MM isai in 64

He'd probably still win

 

[Allin]

Ok how far is it from SFO to the venue/hotels? Is there a group rate for the hotels?

TRAVEL INFORMATION:

Contra Costa County Fair Grounds:

For more indepth and detailed information, including travel information, addresses and directions to/from Airports, Train/BART stations, and local Points-of-Interest are provided and documented at the following link in our newly-created NorCal Smash Forums:

CLICK HERE FOR MORE TRAVEL INFORMATION

The link provided in the first post covers everything you would need to know concerning travel arrangements, distances of different airports to & from the venue, etc. On average, SFO to the venue would take about 75-90 minutes.

We're still talking with our hotel affiliates concerning pricing and any applicable discounts, but most likely the Single/Double Bed rooms will fall somewhere between $79-$99 a night (not per person, per room), and the suites will cost around $129. We'll make an official announcement once we have the details set in stone.

I'd like to see if anyone has input on my 2nd idea (the second half of the post)

Also, the functional pre-reg page has been done for quite some time; just waiting for sidefx to make it not look like crap =\

 

[M@v]

I want to see some wombo combos in melee, and snakes c4 jump teching off the bottom of smashville in brawl. ^_^

 

[Plairnkk]

do you promise things will be ran better than axis? :D

 

[pockyD]

is it possible to run them worse? -_-

 

[Plairnkk]

very good point

 

[The King]

We could always just be "original and innovative", eliminate brackets for each event altogether, and just have a massive 500+ man Round Robin Pool to decide the winner =P.

 

[pockyD]

to run pools faster, just do free for alls for each one

 

[The King]

I like the way you think Pocky. We'll probably just get rid of the whole "stage striking or random-selection" of pools as well for time constraints; all matches will be played on Green Greens to keep things moving quickly.

 

[gantrain05]

to make it go even faster we could play only green greens, 2 minute timer, 4 player FFA, items on max, with smashballs on. yeah, sounds good to me.

 

[M@v]

WRONG. Play on mario bros. that will end stuff quick =P

 

[Lovage]

there are also two other smaller buildings in relative proximity that other people use to host their own events.

does this mean we can bring 6 TVs and a vcr and host a mini-ssb64 tourny the first day? a lot of ssb players are coming to this just to play friendlies

 

[Kashakunaki]

Dodgeball will happen... because it is freaking epic.

 

[Lovage]

dang i keep forgetting the fatal flaw in this tourny...its melee/brawl LOL
i wish it was 3 day tourny...2 melee doubles and 3 melee singles tournaments and crews.

 

[Pakman]

**** that. 2 melee teams and 2 melee singles crews and DRAFT CREWS!

 

[Lovage]

1st day

ssb64 mini tourny
friendlies
money matches
2nd day

melee doubles
melee singles
3rd day

another melee doubles tournament
another melee singles tournament

 

[Vyse]

1st, 2nd and 3rd Day:
250 vs. 250 man Draft crew.
(While the rest of the tournament takes place)

EDIT: Crap, that'd be a 1000 stock per crew.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

definition of epic right there.
