*Pound* V: Why aren't you going to be there?

[TheTantalus]

Yes, yes, we know. You're already preparing the list of JOHNS of why you can't be there. I've heard it all before. You don't have a ride. You don't have money. You have school. You have court that day. You don't have a credit card.

Well guess WHAT! None of those excuses are going to fly with me! I want to hear why YOU aren't going to be at *Pound* V, and I'm going to happily tell you why that isn't a good reason. If you have a completely legitimate reason that I can't find you an option for (Family/Church stuff would be an acceptable reason), then that's ok, but for everyone else, I'm going to prove why your reasoning is bad.

Oh and by the way! I'm not just here to prove why it's bad, but to help accommodate you in any way possible! If you haven't noticed, I'm EXTREMELY arrogant but also helpful. I would love nothing more than for you to be there. This will be a new and amazing experience unlike anything you've seen.

So have at me.

That's funny, you say that. I was talking about if you had some kind of legitimate missions project or something to be on like out of the country.

Money isn't legit because there is still time to save! Do you get money? I don't know how old you are, but if you're above age 15 you can probably get a 2 day a week fast food job and have enough money to go to *Pound* in a few weeks. If you're a grown man and have expenses to keep up with, this is no problem! We'd be happy to help you find the cheapest way to go to *Pound*. But I need information to help. If you crunch the numbers, you can find a way to make it work. I made sure I had plenty for APEX and MLG DC.

No problem! I have lots of friends in the area who might be able to help out. There is (usernames are exact) coney, SASSY, HAT, and ChuDat (lol). They all live pretty close by. They might be able to help out!

I will be staying in the hotel. I can't host too many people in my room, or I'd love to help out. But I still might be able to find you roommates to make your stay affordable.

1. Get employed
2. Prove to Mom why it won't.
3. That's what buy in brackets are for.

Whats pound v?

The greatest event of your current lifetime.

 

[Tee ay eye]

buy-in brackets?

 

[TheTantalus]

The buy in brackets are for people who get knocked out of pools. So after the first round of pools, anyone who is eliminated will be in the 1st buy in bracket group. There will be a bracket with anyone who wants to buy in and compete and it will pay like a local tournament. 2nd round pools will have the same thing, etc.

 

[Typ_Ex]

interesting, a buy-in bracket... genius

nah i always get the hardest pool in the tourney in rd 1

but when i said i'm not good enough to win AZ tourneys, i meant i'm not good enough to get money from beating Taj, Axe, and Forward lol, so i was just stacking up the money johns.

 

[TheTantalus]

Well, I mean Round 2 pools will also have that option as well, not just Round 1 pools. But if you do indeed get "screwed" over, then hey, should be free money for you.

 

[Rubyiris]

i have no job. any money i get from alternative methods goes into food, and rent.

Please, PLEASE explain to me how in this situation, that I can somehow pay rent, keep myself well-fed, AND somehow make it to p5, and enter singles, and still afford food during my stay.

When is pound? If I did save for it I'd need free housing and I'd have a strict budget no doubt. I do pretty much anything for good smashing.

what would the turnout be like? and where is pound?
