does like, another state want to host a major between ACL and BAM2k11 or like are we going to see triple melbourne major year?
Sydney major is probably the best bet atm. Finding a venue looks like fun.

What time period is/was B.A.M? Oh, it was October isn't it...? I was thinking it was August lul.

just in case you read jamages post m2k, take it from me, someone thats been to reloaded and knows the kind of things you've been going through lately.

you do not want to come here just for that tourney, going there as a side thing, sure, but not as a main income maker.

Ah, now's a good time to clarify things. I can ensure a repeat of that will not happen again (y). Irrespective of whether he comes or not, the tournament will still be run properly.

I don't know of anyone left to house, Jei cant this time around and not many people have put their hand up otherwise. It's looking pretty bleak ryan (but if you find a 4/3 room place somewhere, id be more than happy to help you+kas+syke+1 out with the costs seeing as i still need to help kas+syke)

I'll be willing to be the +1 and I shouldn't really need any financial help. Just that I won't know for sure the days I will be staying until me roster is out (2 weeks before the event)

I'll look into sorting a room somewhere for you guys then.

The parkside inn is full but theres another place nearby about 7km away, ill organize transport to and from the venue for you if theres no easy pub transport

First post updated with costs and schedule

Sorting out rego on their website, will update the ruleset when I am at home aswell

Im not sure about brawl stages, but melee will be using the 7 stage system with 0 cps and 1-2-2-1

Wobbling will still be banned

Also still looking for MVC3 MM's

Preferably with x-factor banned (****s stupid yo)

how do you ban x-factor? just hope no-one presses l+m+h+s ? or force everyone to waste it in the outset with infinite time? cus i'd like that idea.

Have decided that any profit I make from this will be donated to the tsunami relief effort by the red cross.

I don't think banning x factor is a good idea. Well not until they make a patch that gives an option to turn it off. It should be fixed by then. Hopefully lol

Would be annoyin having to wait every match having to use it up >_> and I don't want the time limit removed

Looking for people who are willing to run events, i need some positions filled:

Brawl Head TO-
You will run brawl from the ground up, determine the ruleset, run the brackets, manage the players so on so forth. I'll do the signups and the prizing, but you do everything else. (Ideally for this role, you wont enter melee or get far in melee so you have time to spare)

Driver-
Most likley Kas+Syke+Gords (and probably ryan) are most likley going to be staying in a hotel thats a few minutes drive away. I don't believe there is public transport from the venue to where they're probably staying thus i need someone who is willing to pick them up early/drop them off at the end.

Random helping hands-
Looking for some people that are willing to help me run pools. You dont have to go search for people, but i need to make sure pools are even being run.


I also will most likley need someone on the friday night before ACL to help me get the TVS from the Hive to the venue, which will involve most likley multiple trips for all the tvs.

If someone can put their hand up for anything here it woudl be appreciated

I just realised this is more expensive than Robocop... I guess ACL's getting rich lol

Also: "3pm - 8pm: Brawl and Melee singles Bracket"
simultaneously, this timeframe is a bit too fanciful.

At RC during each bracket, there was so many friendlies for the opposing game going on that it would be easy to run with a 2 TO system (one for each game)

Thus why im looking for another TO

we have too little time on sunday, and if pools finish early for either game, bracket will start early, easy as that.

Will be fine dave, dont worry (8

Prices?
Also do we have to sign up on the ACL site or just that thread you made and should i pay you at CW Redact for pre-reg or sumshiz?

I dont wanna signup unless I know how much events and stuff are, coz I wouldnt enter Melee Doubles if it was gonna cost me more :-)
