Doubles was originally $10 ($5 per player) but has since been changed to $20 ($10 per player) after taking a poll on the Facebook event page.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

[Yoshi Kirishima]

HYPE!!!

Long live smash 4!

 

[Blade | Linus]

I'm going to this.

 

[Ori_bro]

I like the schedule and payout %'s

I will also extend housing to OoS people. I am 45 minutes north of the venue, but Ori_housing is pretty sweet. Unless hoteling is a thing for 1 day regionals.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

I might take you up on that Ori. :D I need to figure out my busing stuff first tho.

Pretty stoked for this tourney, where it's the registration taking place online or at the door? Also, player cap?

We are currently looking into the feasibility of doing online preregistration, post on that to come in the future. Also, there is no player cap.

Cool, Thanks for the reply.

 

[Blade | Linus]

Watch out for me in doubles, that's all I'm doing. Bouta beat ralphie on smash 4.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

I got the goat team in doubles tho.

 

[DrRek]

So
Vandeberg is at Michigan League at UofM?

Correct.

 

[Oblivion]

Hey guys, please check out the Facebook event and vote on the poll regarding changing the doubles pricing to $10 instead of $5 per person. If you don't have Facebook leave comments here.

 

[zyth]

[NNOOOBB]

Why do i live so far away from Michigan Smash scene I might be able to come though

 

[DarkspineJumer]

Can we join if we're 11?

 

[DtJ XeroXen]

Hmm... there's a small chance I'll come to this.

 

[Oblivion]

Burton isn't all that

Hmm... there's a small chance I'll come to this.

We'd love to have you! A carpool from Indiana too would be hype!

 

[Oblivion]

We encourage Smashers of all ages to come through and participate in the event if they are accompanied by a parent or guardian. If they have questions or concerns regarding the event, Tech_Chase (Derek) and myself (Alan) are more than willing to speak with them. Our goal is to host an enjoyable experience for all regardless of age, gender, etc.

 

[Blade | Linus]

I don't know if I can come to this now.

 

[DrRek]

Repost from Facebook:
If anyone would like to 3v3, 4v4, 2v2v2 or 2v2v2v2 in friendlies, I'm game. I'd just need another adapter if I bring my set-up.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

I don't know if I can come to this now.

YOU DODGING ME THO?

 

[Blade | Linus]

Lmao Ralphie. My brother Hawk might go but he was only going to do doubles with me so I don't know.

 

[-Coco-]

Short notice but I'm gonna need a partner for this...

 

[Oblivion]

As decided on by popular vote, doubles will be $10 per person ($20 for a team) instead of $5 per person.

 

[Blade | Linus]

Why would people vote for that?

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Puts more money in the winnings and makes it more worth traveling OoS for it lol.

 

[BuRnT EGGs]

Short notice but I'm gonna need a partner for this...

[Oblivion]

Along with what Ralch said, it also makes it more hype with more money on the line.
