Ok I did some research about a venue for the Iowa circuit. We could rent out the conference rooms in the Olmstead center on Drake University for the tournament. It would most likely be July before we were able to do it however.

It looks like it would actually be $250 a day.... sounds kind of rough unless we did it just in one day. If we had a $5 venue fee it would take 50 people to pay it off, any extra would go to a bonus?

We actually can have the a residence hall for the night before if we wanted. It would be $18.50 per person but it would be actual dorm rooms. We would all have a bed and a shower the next day, so compared to a hotel that is pretty sweet since a hotel room would run around $40. But people may not be interested in that.

All in all I don't think this is the best option we can find but it is something I guess. I was trying to think of where we could house people if we only did one day and I don't think we have enough options.

Meh, let me know what you think.

all i have to say is if there isnt enough people to show up for venue fee, be prepared to pay with your own money, dont shit game people by taking money away from the pot!!

I was excited when I read SC tourneys then I realized its probably Soul Calibur... :O

Edit:
And I'm wrong, I guess bringing a laptop would imply Star Craft well that's good :) I'll be joining if you guys don't mind :S
Yep just StarCraft I hate those 3D fighters plus don't expect to much of it chances are we may be using my laptop and probably Bolts for SC so yeah T.T


I'm the only KOF player who spams Galactica Phantom. It's like Falcon Punch, IT WILL HIT YOU THERE IS NO HOPE.
That move is just to epic plus when it lands you feel it >.<


slik :3
joker you should get mark of the wolves
i <3 rock
He's also on Capcom Vs. SNK 2 and Love has that already >.0


well all u have to do is change the setting so u dont have to use the umd in the psp to play the games. i dont thing that i changed ur psp setting so thats y u have to use the umd to play games. i can change it so u dont have to use the umd anymore.
Yeah I know you try to updated a while back but couldn't but yeah it be nice if you could change that for me, since CBK change 0 and X around.


Well in that case I may not have to take the van, people are johning out left and right.

Correct me if I am wrong but these are the people still interested.

Razor
Joker
Jlo
Blank
Zash
Peeks
Mduo
Schism
Kudou
That should be everyone but I believe Skizm said he may not be able to make it either so yeah, by the way Razor if you take your car can you still bring that thing we used to plug the TV not for the TV but for my laptop since it doesn't last that long.

First of all thank you Razor for looking into it, I kinda like the one that's $250 a day but since is the championships it will most likely be a 2 day event so $500 dayum there will be no bonus T.T
How many people can the resident hall hold cause we may get a pretty good turnout this option may work, sounds better then getting a hotel plus besides me I don't think anyone else can house.
But yeah Razor I'm pretty sure we can find a better venue maybe T.T

Yeh that is when that would be available. I have a few more places in mind to go look at. I should get my account changed to a smash director, since I will probably play a large role in getting this thing set up.

Joker I will be over tomorrow, then to Ames? I have had a ridiculous amount of things due this week and next that is why I haven't been up.

People need to learn by my example. My school world is falling into the next week and I'm not johning out of going :)

Smeesh: This weekend in Kahoka, we have a spot for you if you are interested? Otherwise it is looking like the 6th of June.

Kudou and all who plan on Kahoka.

The plan is to leave around 4ish/5ish on Friday. There will be two cars departing from Des Moines. Razor's and Mduo's. People for sure going now....

Razor, Joker, Jlo, Blank, Zash, Peeks, Mduo, Kudou, Bone, Schism (?)

My vehicle will most likely leave on Sunday morning at some point.

Haha ****it I knew taking all my smash stuff home 2 weeks before the semester ended would bite me in the @$$!

Hmm well if you guys are in Ames tomorrow feel free to hit me up on my cell if you find some melee. 712-520-1699 If I had Victor's number I'd see if he was interested, but I lost it a while ago. :(

Not sure Se'kou or I will be available for games today. I have to finish a project report and I'm not sure I'll be done at a decent time.

Also, sorry for backing out of Kahoka. I gotta stick around here and tie up some loose ends for this semester. I'll be much more available this summer.

Well, I have a final in about 7 hours and then I'll be done with my first final. My next one is Next Thursday, so I'm still up to play today. Tell me by 2 pm if ya'll want to come so I can get prepared. Also, if you guys come, bring me a partner to play on my team. Also, they cancelled my usual 2 pm meeting, so I'll be at home early. If ya'll want to show up earlier tomorrow that is definitely possible. TXT me tomorrow after 12 with details on ya'll status. The ole' lady might be here, but I don't think she will be kicking people out this time :-D

Mr. JLo feel free to show up and be my dubs partner for tomorrow. I don't think we have ever played on the same team.

Sekou we will be showing up today. At least me Joker and Jlo, and later schism. I get done with class at 3:15 and I'm not opposed to going there then. I need to get Joker and Jlo but that could still get us there by like 5ish?

Zash why do you have a luigi next to your name?

I just started building my all female team and my first Pokemon is Froslass, does Vaporeon seems like a female pkmn o.0
Yes, vaporeon makes is very good at maintaining a certain level of badassness while holding on to those important feminine features.

Zash why do you have a luigi next to your name?
Because earlier in the week his sheik was getting dominated and he got all sorts of pissed and has quit her forever.

Sorry man, My weekend is going to be too busy preparing for finals next week. We'll play plenty after next week.

Mr. JLo feel free to show up and be my dubs partner for tomorrow. I don't think we have ever played on the same team.
Se'kou I'll probably get ahold of you on AIM sometime this afternoon.. I'm working this afternoon so I should be done between 7 and 8 tonight if you want to move the games to my apartment (and your "ole' lady" might be a bit happier with that). Otherwise I'll try to make it to your place when I can.
