Talk to Ebo more and arrange with him. He drives to a lot of tournies and lives right near you.

Unfortunately it seems that even coming from south nj going to get you adds like an hour to my trip both ways :/

Ugh I personally just hate driving to south jersey from LI.....between the tolls and the overall trip itself it makes me have very little motivation to go. Overall I always love northern jersey tournies because its basically like were in NY distance wise.

There's buses people can take from like anywhere in NY to Atl City for like between 20 and 35 round trip. And if it's one of the more expensive ones like $35, you get like free $25 slot dollars for one of the casinos, which is basically worth some money (potentially a lot more, last time I got $20 slot dollars I won $100 with it).

Lol but why suddenly are we gambling to make it to tournies why not have them in areas more accessible to the tristate area figuring LI has at least 3-4 carpools and 35$ in public transportation is not a good price for any player lol. Thats almost double the amount your paying to get into a tourny, not to mention bringing a setup is gonna be a ***** too then

We shouldnt be making people go to places they do not want to because TOs want to have things be easier for them. We need to find whats best for everyone not whats best for the few.

Thinking about hosting a tournament in south jersey on August 20th, whataya guys think?
I'm looking into hosting at Keitaro's venue on the 20th. I know it's a week after Ktar, but that doesn't really seem to matter to people. Most people are looking for a tournament basically every single weekend (kind of unfortunately lol), but I'm also not looking for the attendance he's going for off the bat of 100+. I know Dark Peach's is the same date, but every other weekend in august has something good on it, and tbh I don't think I've ever seen an NJ player go to one of Dark Peach's events, yet alone most NY players. Isn't it in a fairly bad area, and a house tourney that last time had a $10 venue fee? lol (even if it did come with free food).
I have no desire or intention to go to DP's event. I would go to your event if it's less than 2 hours from me and has free and easy parking.

=_=
But south jersey events are all I can attend regularly lol.
shoutouts to being a 5 year old wiith no rides.

:phone:
Give people enough video games or cash to make it worth anyone's trip down there :)

Agreed

Around Edison is the best place to host imo. That's about central( a bit north though). The E spot is a terrible venue.

North Jersey is best because for many NYCers its easier to go to. Last time I checked NYers and NE can make it to North Jersey easily. Central is just too long of a drive for some. For those who live there yea its definitely easier. If you ask everyone what their ideal venue is it would be different from everyone elses. You cannot make everyone happy. The ones that are most vocal, at times, are those who really just rather have it a block from their house or something extreme like that lol.

North Jersey ( Yes venue , e-spot , etc ) are all good places to go. People in NJ have cars so parking can be something significant but many in NY do not have cars and rather just take public transit. That is where you run into the issue of money and why some people do not come out to NJ from NY. For those with jobs and such its easy to want things your way but for those who are young and up and coming you cannot expect them to have jobs or even rely on themselves. We tend to forget some new players can be within the 14-17 year old range. How are we suppose to reach them? Tell them no johns and get a job? Tell them to have their parents take them? From what I remember most kids rather go by themselves or with friends as opposed to family, unless they have no choice. Catering to them would be key. Yes venue does a lot of that ( that is to assume that the people who own the venue are ok with us being there ). We need to find ways to make things less pricy, easy to get to, and such.

I understand some of you do not want to hear that or rather stay within themselves. That is fine and its totally within your right. I am only speaking about growing the scene and to do that some things should be done IMO. Does that mean central NJ cannot have good events? No it just means for the small local scene we should have those things. We should focus on getting newer players...something so easy that we tend to forget needs to be done.

Who the hell would pay 25 or 30 bucks for a bus to go to that place only to have more fees for the event? Chibo you crazy lmao.

Also, who's in charge of maintenance on this site? Its slow and glitch like a ***** now, someone new should be running this.

Geeez you people act like I don't know that you have to try and make it easy for others, I know that, but as a TO it also has to be feasible for me to host. When the TO has to be there first and last, a long drive with an entire day of hosting can sometimes be tough, especially since the drive would be by myself. If traffic happens that sucks. And I can't utilize all of the 7 TVs I own at my house down here. I'm not able to visit the venue before hand to help out with pre-setting up, etc.

But it's w/e, I'm shootin' for the KTAR venue.

How did you go about getting that venue anyway? How much did they ask for? I'm interested in case I decide to host
As long as the pastor isn't being an "insert not too harsh word here" it costs $150 to use and another $150 to rent out but they give you back $150 so its only $150. Yes's venue is about $75 dollars more.

At the last KTAR the pastor doubled the price 3 days before the day of the tourney. I was PISSED.

One of the first tournies of the season was KTAR 5. The week before it was the start of the season but I don't think there were any tournies in the area on that week.

Hey all.

I'm from VA but I'll be in South NJ (Avalon/Egg harbor area) next month. Any chance on hitching a ride up to KTAR with someone leaving from nearby? I can pay for gas.

Is it egg harbor or avalon lol, they're like almost an hour away from each other

if it's avalon I can't do it, as that adds almost 2 hours to my trip since it's an hour south of me, but egg harbor township/city is kind of on the way sorta

do you mean stone harbor? that's right next to avalon

Well if you wanna meet up somewhere else I could choose somewhere closer for both of us.

Are you moving to South NJ or just going to be there temporarily?

Also didn't you used to live in PA and went to one of my tourneys once? lol
