Hey everybody,

If you guys haven't heard of the 2GG grant, you guys should look at this blog post.

http://allisbrawl.com/blogpost.aspx?id=60908

It's pretty much a grant for players out of state to fly down for free and compete with the best in California. I feel like Texas hobos should have something like this. There first winner was Chudat, and pretty much beasted with kirby.

I think this is a great opportunity for everyone who would like to have a player OOS come and enjoy a hobo, like if we did one for Texas maybe other states will start doing the same, and we'll have players flown around competing with everybody :bee:.

What I am trying to say is that, if Xyro starts charging 1-2 dollars extra for the Hobo fund, will you guys be alright with that?

If the player that was chosen wins any money, it goes back to the fund so we can fly another player out. For example, if M2K was chosen and he won every event and got about 400$ and his flight was 200$, he would have to donate 200$ back into the fund and he gets to keep the rest.


2GG is going to accept applications soon for the next winner.

Where you at Gnes/Razer/Dojo?



I thought this was a great idea and just would like to share.

I agree and support this idea. What about everybody else? If most of you DO decide to support this and are willing to cough up an extra dollar or 2, we can figure out what pro u want to come to a HOBO. The choice is up to you guys.

I think all of Houston should definitely agree on this. That's already 1/3 of the community!!!

I'd pay an extra buck or two to support this.

Lovely..i approve...also how do i apply for the 2G grant?
I'll keep you posted about that I'll ask Champ when I get the chance. So basically he chooses 4 applications and have the community who they want. I'm pretty sure they'll like to see someone from Texas.

I'd pay extra money. What happens if they don't place money though? Nothin?
Nothin, we start from scratch again, if we charge maybe 2 dollars at hobos, in 2-3 hobos i think we'll have enough to fly someone down here.

If someone does win and it goes back to the pot, we can start saving again and maybe get a player out of the country into here.

I really want to see Masashi, or someone from Europe. It'll be cool.

If it only requires like $2-3 per person, I would totally do it.

The HOBO Grant will begin at HOBO 24. When you register for the events i will ask you if u wanna drop 2-3$ towards the grant. If you wish to donate MORE that 2-3$ you are certainly welcome to. Who ever donates the MOST during HOBO 24 will be able to get into 2 events of thier choice for free.



go to the bottom of the first post for more info
