D.B.R. Presents: GENESIS! RESULTS-Melee: Mango. Brawl: To Be Decided

[sidefx]

yeah once people start paying and stuff, there will be a list of people who have confirmed going from the pre-registration site. there will most likely be an extra box checked off for confirmed people on that same list

 

[strawhats]

thnx Boback

**** I've got an SAT to take tommorrow

 

[hungrybox]

ja yes good stuff on the refund policy

 

[Pancakesyo]

Question

If you pay to just go in will you be able to play friendlies?

 

[The GERM]

I'm ready

Boback, you are amazing, and always come through.


Everyone, get fu**ing hyped, the Genesis ball has begun to roll. I can't wait to see nearly every region in the world represented to the fullest, practice up bit**es, 2 months and counting.

On a side note, I will be working on some sick a** Genesis t-shirts tomorrow. Keep in mind, I'm an actual illustrator...just sayin'.

 

[Zelgadîs ™]

West Coast Tournament T-Shirt Contest?

Zero Challenge shirts vs Genesis shirts?

Norcal shirts vs Socal shirts?



Oh wait, that wouldn't be fair. Sorry Mana :-\

 

[AllyKnight]

Do we really need to pay? I mean I dont have visa and my parents won't let me use it. So I can only pay when I get to Genesis, is it okay?

 

[toasty]

you can't mail a check/money order or something? I think they have that option [or will?] as well

 

[Fox Hater]

YEAH im pretty hype already a few PR players are going too bad the best melee player wont make it HDL but is confirmed now a few of us that are going to evo will make it to california too to play u guys.

 

[Mit]

Wtf Rebaz and Izaw

Pleeeeease record Rebaz's matches ;_;

 

[sidefx]

Do we really need to pay? I mean I dont have visa and my parents won't let me use it. So I can only pay when I get to Genesis, is it okay?

nope. sorry.


the reason why is if we let one person do that.. then we have to let the other........

800?

and if you want to stand infront of the venue from friday morning, to sunday night waiting to pay be my guest.. but there wont be a tournament thats for sure

 

[Anth0ny]

Dude, do you know who you are? I'm certain that hundreds of people will pay for you as long as you pay them back.

Maybe not that last part!

 

[pastaboy]

nope. sorry.

lol will u guys have security guards, ally wont go down without a fight

 

[sidefx]

yes there will be on site security.

 

[hungrybox]

Immortals...

we put their name to the test.

 

[AllyKnight]

Well unless I can find someone who can do this for me, I'm not going to genesis I guess . . . .

 

[Fizzi]

Ally couldn't you get someone in mtl to do it? And give them money? If I was still in mtl i'd do it lol.

 

[defsithe]

Do we really need to pay? I mean I dont have visa and my parents won't let me use it. So I can only pay when I get to Genesis, is it okay?

go to walmart/any store with pre-paid visa gift cards and u can use that. works for online purchases atleast. so i think it would work for this?

 

[toasty]

and if you can't I really don't see what the problem with mailing a simple slip of paper is

just sayin man....

 

[defsithe]

5 cents to make a money order!! outrageous! lol.

but really mailing a check/money order is very inconvenient. checks could bounce. well money orders r solid. but maybe the hosts dont wanna give out their addresses/have check their mail boxes, mail could be lost/delayed for weeks, or maybe they just dont want wait on mail. even with a PO box thats still more of a hassle than just registering online for the hosts.

yeah its some sort of hassle for the attendee but you're the one planning on making a cross country (or however far) and i dont see the harm on picking up a little card at the cash register the next time u go to the store.

 

[toasty]

hah worry less about a relatively small inconvenience that a tourney host has imposed upon himself in order to help the attendee help the host avoid a much larger inconvenience

but yeah that prepaid visa card sounds like the way to go...

anyway...who wants to house me and Team Richmond and enjoy deliiiicious nachos?! ^_^

 

[GDX]

yea ally, while you are in the states, go to an amscot or a walgreens or a walmart and get a prepaid credit card. Works great for online purchases

personally, id rather do that than mail a money order or a check. with the prepaid credit card you know it got there

hell, if i see you at apex, ill even remind you to get one

toasty. whos in your group?

 

[toasty]

Me, Tope, Israfel, and HOPEFULLY Cyrain though he's a huge maybe right now. I don't know who else would be going from TR yet...we'll see.

 

[sidefx]

yeah i should update the site with the whole prepaid credit card/gift card thing.. ive used those so many times, and plus theyre good for online security issues as well, since you cant get your own account hacked and **** if something does go wrong.

 

[hungrybox]

:v)

it has a nose

 

[Vyse]

@Sidefx: So can we just use credit cards directly and skip the 'setting up a paypal account' thing?

 

[toasty]

I'd strongly recommend setting up a paypal account. Money ends up getting lost in fees and such and since no one can stop anyone else from paying without an account, theoretically everyone could pay without an account which adds up to $1,000-2,000+ LOST that could have and should have gone toward the tournament costs/prizes [5-700 people and I think the fee they mentioned was $3? something like that if you pay without an account]

 

[sidefx]

@Sidefx: So can we just use credit cards directly and skip the 'setting up a paypal account' thing?

yes that is possible =)

but like toasty said there is a fee cut (i believe 3%) from the total transaction if there is no paypal account used. All up to you though, what ever is most convenient.

That does indeed suck but not everyone would do a paypal account. lol.

 

[sidefx]

i just looked into the account fees some more..

apparently with the business account i have got, there is an even % cut taken out regardless of paypal account or not. =\

the no % cut thing was for individual accounts, but since i cant use one of those, a % will be taken out of everyones. Which we were anticipating for, since its almost impossible to find somewhere or a way for no fees to be taken out, unless you ahve a merchant license, which would cost money, which would probably cost the same as the fees being taken out in the first place =(

 

[h1roshi]

YOOOOOOOOOOO, expect a big showing from florida!!!!!!

we training hard down here.

cant wait for this thing.

 

[DippnDots]

hiroshi you still play ggah dude?

 

[toasty]

awww **** that sucks sidefx and LOL 3% is a lot better than $3 XD my b...

 

[pockyD]

it's not a 'lot' better

 

[toasty]

It is when you consider the difference multiplied by the number of people who would have caused such a fee to be incurred. But that's irrelevant now.

 

[thataintflaco1338]

hiroshi you still play ggah dude?

He never used "ggah". He was bored and made a combo video between like 4 people. Thats about it.

 

[The King]

It's something along the lines of 2.9% of the total amount paid, plus a flat $0.30 fee for every transaction received. Not quite $3, but for a full event package purchase it comes out really close to that value either way.

 

[toasty]

ah...I was just going on the assumption that most people will be doing just one game...

anyway...Neighborhood P, don't forget to brush up on that Ness matchup! No chaingrabbing...$20 ^_^

 

[h1roshi]

hiroshi you still play ggah dude?

nah man, i wish. Ggah is a manly *** character. i have mad respect for Ggah mains.

i played Ggah for like a month straight. and then made my combo vid to show where i got in 1 month of basically only Ggah. but i just dont have the skill for him personally. i still have a lot of trouble l-canceling with him. the timing is so weird for some reason.

right now its all about sheik and falco, and im throwing in some fox. thats about it.

have i played you before?

I CANT WAIT FOR THIS ISH!!!!!!!!

first time in cali.
