If you get a flyer from play n trade you get a buy one get one free for your con entry fee. Do this! The con entry fee is $17 it seems.. If you bring in your wii they told me they will waive your con entry fee for ALL DAYS. Sorry for the late update I'm at the science center now on my iPod talking to the staff.

There is a play n trade in Oviedo out near NLL I know that has the discount flier. I'll post more updates from todays meeting. They need to stick to what I originally mapped out... argh.

Alright. The entry fee to the con apparently is $17, and they put the schedule on their website having the smash events on Sat/Sun. So you guys don't have to pay for three days I'm going to go with their schedule that they posted (thatt they posted without reading the minutes to the meeting on 12/10/10, booo).

sorry, sorry, SORRY for this late update/bomshell/bull%#^@ etc. This was out of my control. So read the original post! I have edited it with the times of the events and we're going to have 8 stations to play on. We HAVE to be ON TIME in this event, it's important if we want to have double elim! They spoke of changing the rules to make it go by faster but I was able to stop them from doing that. I'd be pretty pissed if they did that to me... lol.

SO:

  • No change in rules
  • Change in schedule
  • Change in price (cash prizes though)
  • Buy 1 day get the next free w/ a play n trade flyer

I'm predicting I'll get top 30 at this.

There is another catch, I dont think you can use your own controllers =/.
It'd be easy if they gave you a sticker if you brought one or something.

Eh, same day tourney works better in the long run imo. I think just a confirmation on the payout would be nice.

I believe Orlando Science Center only gets 20% of the pool, the rest of the 80% goes back to the gamers. The exact % I couldn't get. I was talking to too many people tonight. I make $0 on this event, I do this for fun so I think I can say this with some credibility - You definitely want to go to this event. Yeah it looks shady with the whole last minute change thing, but that can be in part my fault. I didn't keep the cattle-prod on them to make sure it goes on my schedule but to be honest I think this new schedule makes more sense.

Anyhow, I'll stop rambling. I'll see you guys this weekend!

Wait, do we get our con fee waived if we bring a tv and a CUBE(not a wii) for sunday?

We can't bring our own controllers??

Also, is there a limited number of people that can enter a competition? Like a 64-person limit for melee singles of something? The only limit I saw was at least 1 hour before your competition starts.
Last, whose schedule is more current? The one in the first post or this?

I actually don't think there is a 5th. I recall a time early on(like early 2009) when people were complaining about a certain starter...can't remember which one to be honest. But yeah, I think it's still 4 for that particular reason. Needless to say, times have changed, and a lot of us are a lot better, lol.

No limit on the amount of people who can enter. The Saturday/Sunday schedule is the correct one. Like I said you can try to bring your own controller but nobody but yourself is responsible for it being stolen (thats their main concern).

Thank you veryy much.
Haha, I actually called the OSC a few minutes ago.
Yo whhaaat? They'll be doing bag checks to keep people from bringing their own controller. But I think I'm responsible enough to not lose mine. Power to the people!
Also, they are not allowing free admission for people bringing set-ups??
Gayyyy
Also, the assistant told me the manager put in a new rule. Yesterday there was no limit, today, a 32-team and 64-man singles limit was placed per competition.
'ey, GB Cecil, did they completely turn around and ignore your wise guidance?
I feel ya man, coordinating is hard.

There won't be a player limit if I have a say in it (which I do). Get there and register early tomorrow. Remember, we begin at 1:00pm, not 1:01pm. If what they say is different than what was said by me in this thread, don't worry - they will go by my rulings.

I'm your TO, I will be the go-to guy for making sure we all win this weekend.
