What is the 2 Good Grant?

The 2 Good Grant (2GGrant) is a way to bring players from out of state to attend the 2 Good Gaming events.

How?

Once a player is selected, 2GG will donate the money to the player so that they can buy their plane ticket. This will eliminate the money issue and more players will be to attend our tournament.

Sounds great! How are you going to form the fund though?


We are going to make a widget for people to donate. We will take $1 from entry fee from now on and put it in the 2GGrant. Also, 2GG itself will match the donation by people. What that mean is, if you donate $5 then 2GG will donate $5.

Nice. I want to donate! Where can I do that?


You can donate through a widget at justin.tv/2ggaming or at 2goodgaming.com/2ggrant or at http://2goodgaming.chipin.com/2-good-grant-melee

That sounds amazing! So who’s eligible?


Everyone is eligible. Still, to qualify for the grant, you must submit an application to 2 Good Gaming. Pretty much, it’s a paragraph saying why we should pick you over other person that is trying to get the grant.

So does this mean 2GG will pick the people?


Partially, yes. We will look through all the application and then select 4 people that we feel have the best application. Then, we will put up a poll for people to vote. The winner will then be selected to receive the grant.

I really want this one person to win. What do I do?


First of all, they need to know this exist. Your job is to tell them about it and make them send in their application. After that, hope that they are selected and get everyone to vote for them! This is like an election and you are trying to make your candidate win.

Nice but what if the same person keeps winning?


When a player receives the grant, they will not be able to receive it again until two other players receive it. That way, many people will be able to attend and use the grant.

So I got selected. What do I have to do?


If you are selected, your flight will be paid for by the grant. Then you come, play, and have a good time! The only condition is that if you win any money, whatever money was donated through 2 good grant will be deducted from the winnings and will be returned to the grant. For example, if the grant gave you $200 and you won $250, $200 of your winning will go back into the 2GGrant and you will keep the $50 leftover. This is done so that next time we’ll be able to bring multiple people and so on.

Sounds good. Where can I sign up?


Send an email to 2ggrant@2goodgaming.com

With a paragraph of “why should you receive the 2 Good Grant?”

Make sure to include your name, your gamer tag, and where you're from.

Dateline is on March 25th

Still need more info? Feel free to PM me or aim me at: xuerarit

really nice, we should start doing some things like that here and viceversa, would be awesome for both continents.

gonna apply for that, too bad there's only 1 player being sponsored and my chances of winning are still low xD

you never know right?

Are those 2 Good Events Melee or Brawl or both?
melee and brawl. We also do Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6, and more.

im quite interested :) this is a great idea imo

but how about the US also attending a big European tournament such as SNY?
Eventually, we will also try to fly SoCal players outside too. We just want to promote a way to bring all the community together. Also, give people a chance to travel out of state and experience the SoCal goodness.

If there's enough money in the pot to pay for the trip and for him to still make a profit, at a convenient time, M2k WILL go. Massive amounts of Americans aren't just going to go on a trip to Europe for the same reason Europe doesn't come here. Money.

Honestly, I would LOVE to go tour Europe and smash with all of you guys. Realistically, it's not going to happen. But there are resources here in America that help us to try and get you guys to get over here. It makes more sense to us for us to try and bring the best of you over here to compete with us, then to just send in a couple of us to go over there. You know, American bias and whatnot :D

I'm not going to apply, I don't want to go alone to the states atm xD. I'll better go to apex with more spanish players. Besides if other euro players don't apply, Istud/ramin/kaos/leon/gluto will have more chances of winning the grant since votes won't split D:

good luck getting that, I really hope one of you can go to show what we can do

That looks great. I'd be interested if I could get a partner to team with.

Though you have to take into account that that some of us can't speak english very well, so March 25th is a bit short considering we would have to help them submitting their application.

Champ said on his AiB blog that only one person donated. That's clearly not enough to allow someone who's not from the US to come.
And considering Chu Dat is a top player in both Brawl and Melee... he got the spot.

Well the good player grant that HMW started did get a lot of investors. I guess that it doesn't work if two almost identical grants run at the same time, huh.. who knew?
