Smash Hero
I'm going to update this thread frequently as I get more information pieced together, but here are the basics:
Do you play Smash?
Do you live in Georgia?
Wondering how you're getting to Pound 4?
Then you've come to the right place.
What this thread is a place for:
-REGISTERED [or those with serious intent to register] GA players for Pound 4
- discussing travel arrangements with GA peoples [or anyone traveling FROM(or through) GA]
- discussing HOUSING / HOTEL arrangements!
Why bother?
-Flying together increases likelihood of getting a ride from the airport as it's easier to make arrangements for a group rather than an individual [it's also ****ing awesome to travel with your friends]
-Driving in a group obviously saves a ton on gas money and makes the trip doable as the driver will either have people to keep him company or he'll have other drivers to share the driving time.
-Sharing hotel rooms will increase the likelihood of you GETTING a room at the Pound 4 discounted rate [AND it will make it cheaper for each person if you have more people per room]
-It's just better to be organized and have a group of people to stick with in case anything, god forbid, goes wrong
Horror Story of Traveling Alone:
I had to travel back from across the world alone one time, got sick in the process but couldn't sleep at the airport during my 17 HOUR layover [which was caused by a plane's delay causing me to miss a flight] because I had to watch my luggage. Throw in a couple more missed flights and sleepless journeys [all of this over the course of 2 1/2 days in just airports/planes] and you have one of the less-appealing traveling experiences ever![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

HOTEL DISCOUNT
http://cwp.marriott.com/wasfd/gamecubetournament/
^^^There are two hotels listed for the discount. I'll ask Plank which one is the preferred hotel...
PLANE FARE DISCOUNT
So yeah...let's get our **** together and make this happen!
I don't wanna hear any bull**** when I come back from Pound 4 to find your dopey *** wishing you could have gone but couldn't because you waited too long to register, book a flight, or get in on a hotel room/car ride with someone.
