[Seagull Joe]

*facepalm*

Also, ChuDat is the only one who says "LOLZ".

Edit: I need housing for my carpool Friday night. Any helpers?

 

[AmKhokar]

Stay at my place. We can coordinate details over text, my number is on the thread. I sent you a FB message about it.

 

[Smash G 0 D]

This tournament was lulz. Shoutouts in results.

 

[light-zion]

Couldn't make it to this one because of the snow -_- hopefully I'll make it to the next.
Keep up the hard work Amkhokar.

Would you consider keeping the price for PM singles at $5 for your future tournaments? The reduction from 10 was pretty much what convinced me to enter and I think it could attract even more players from both Brawl and Melee to enter. Plus it's still kind of a side event.

 

[Smash G 0 D]

P:M was the main event at this last tournament, but I'm going to 2nd keeping it at $5. I'm hesitant to call it a side event after the showing we've had for singles at the past two events, but I don't think NEARLY as many people will enter from Brawl and Melee if it costs just as much.

 

[Iota]

I vote for $5 entrance fee too.

 

[QWA]

JU4N and I talked about this as well. Since a lot of people are new to Project M, a $10 entrance fee might make them more hesitant to enter when compared to a $5 fee. JU4N specifically said he'd be more likely to enter if it were $5, and the same goes for me as well. Either way, you've done a great job organizing all of this. Props, man!

Yeah, those were my same thoughts too. Originally I wasn't going to bother to enter because I almost never play it seriously with friends, but the $5 made me more inclined to enter.

Yeah, I guess in terms of number of entrants, you could call it the main event, but when I called it a side event, I meant the main reason that most people come to the tournament is for Melee or Brawl and not PM specifically. PM would still be a motivating factor to attend; just not as much as the others.

 

[AmKhokar]

Hey guys, so my goal as a TO is to make the events as enjoyable as I can for everyone involved. It seems like most of you guys are for this PM fee change, so I'm more than happy to keep the PM singles entrance fee at $5 from now on and I'm really glad you brought it up, Arcadia. If anyone has any other suggestion for future tournaments, please let me know, preferably through this thread: http://smashboards.com/threads/334362/


PM doubles will be replacing Brawl doubles at the next event due to the interest shown for PM and the lack thereof for Brawl.

Smash GOD is helping me with the ruleset for PM. If anyone has any input on the PM ruleset we should use for this tourney, please refer to him.

Korn, can you re-post the venue pics you took at the first event? They didn't carry over with the server transfer.

 

[light-zion]

Disregard this.

 

[AmKhokar]

Hey guys, the next event will be on Saturday March 16th =D I've updated the thread and enabled the ability to RSVP ^_^

Please include the name of the game(s) you're attending for in your comment when you RSVP =D

 

[light-zion]

Define RSVP.

 

[FrackinKraken]

Define RSVP.

There's a little box thingy at the top of the thread, that has "Post Comment" and yes, maybe, or no. I'm assuming this is the RSVP box. And I'm stoked. Thanks Ammad for getting the next date out so early!

 

[Arcadia157]

Define RSVP.

At the top right, you can confirm if you're going or not. It gives the TO a better idea of how many people plan on attending.

But more specifically: "RSVP - Abbreviation for 'Répondez s'il vous plaît', or please reply (used at the end of invitations to request a response).

edit: sniped

 

[Nintendude]

just fyi, the next Xanadu monthly is on the same day, though these events are over 3 hours apart so it's not a big deal I guess.

 

[FrackinKraken]

edit: sniped

Gottem

 

[AmKhokar]

Hey guys, in hopes of maximizing the potential attendance to next month's event, it has been moved to Saturday, March 23rd. This avoids conflicts with Charlottesville college spring breaks and the Xanadu event =D Please adjust your RSVPs accordingly ^_^

 

[Smash G 0 D]

Will definitely be very late, but I'll try to stop by in any case.

 

[Arcadia157]

I'll definitely let the Richmond guys know. Thanks for the update.

 

[QWA]

I can bring a capture card, splitters, and my computer if you want to try and stream from it.

 

[light-zion]

How many people are coming for brawl?

 

[JU4N]

Will definitely be very late, but I'll try to stop by in any case.

No rematch?

 

[Smash G 0 D]

I actually might be able to make it for realz!! But I also might not be able to make it at all and now that I'm thinking about it probably not at all... but JU4N I'm free tomorrow night and back in CVille if you wanna smash ;P

 

[QWA]

Well, I guess I won't have to worry about having to break out or against that , because that would end very poorly for me. Hopefully, I won't be forced to uphold my honor code at all, but I will if I must!

 

[AmKhokar]

Tourney's only a week away. I know a ton of people wanted to come in this month so lets get some more RSVPs in! ^_^. I'm expecting a really solid turnout, lets get some hype going!

 

[JU4N]

Hype.

Yo Smash God/Cville kids; smash this week before the tournament? Friday would probably work best for me if that's possible.

 

[Oasys17]

I'll probably get rolled in tourney, but how are friendlies looking? I'll almost certainly be coming this weekend for some friendlies ^^

 

[AmKhokar]

Usually constant friendlies going before and in between tournies, and a decent amount of friendlies going after the first or 2nd round ^_^

 

[Oasys17]

Awesome! If no other of my immediate RVA smash buddies are going, I'll end up hitching a ride with Milk, Cyrain and Arc I'll see you guys up there!

 

[Oasys17]

Hey! Two questions

1. If I bring a brawl disc and an sd card with p:m on it, can I get the 5 dollars off the venue deali-o?

2. Do you have any idea when the NEXT date for the tournament is? Pretty much half of my crew can't make it to this one since we just learned about it, and they were unable to take off of work and such. It'd be awesome if we could get a date for the next event so we can schedule ahead

 

[AmKhokar]

1. If we can match up your disc / SD card with a Wii, then yes =D Otherwise, we probably won't make use of either. Bring it just in case.
2. The next date depends on when The End Games Center makes their schedule for the month, which is generally decided towards the end of the each month. I'll try to push them to schedule April asap.

 

[Arcadia157]

I can bring my Wii for you, Oasys. It's a ***** to start up, but when it's started up, I've never had a problem with it.

 

[Oasys17]

Awesome ^_^ That'd be sweet. Savin dat $5 doe.

 

[Arcadia157]

Richmond may suddenly have 3-4 more people coming lol. Most likely 2 carpools. Just waiting on people to confirm.

 

[Oasys17]

RVA rollin' deep ;P

 

[Vist]

How's the turnout looking for this? I might consider coming down

 

[AmKhokar]

Melee and PM turnout will be solid. A lot of people for Brawl are interested but unconfirmed.

 

[The_Doug]

Bringing a full car from SoVa for Melee. May enter P:M also.
