Can we talk about BC?

Keith, Alvin, Luke and I have expressed serious interest in going. Luke and I are likely flying. Anyone else interested in coming?

Keith, Alvin, Luke, how soon can you confirm?

aha it's only been a few months now. That's like my average tourney attendance rate.

I wanted to make this last one, but I was dying.
Legit excuse!

i dunno what alvin said about the BC trip but i assume we would be flying with u guys.... i am not 100% about this yet... i will look into it very soon...I still have to plan out my schedule for soccer as I have a few tournaments out of town in september and october... i am sure though that other ppl would like to drive since it would be cheaper but that puts pressure on keith... road trip was really fun though

Lol, how's the throat doing now?
Better now I guess haha
I can talk and eat again, thank god.

It turns out I did actually have strep, I just had mono at the same time. So yeah, it was bad lol
Btw, DON'T JUDGE, I got it from some ******* at work I bet.

lol

okay, in all seriousness, when will you know for sure whether you're going to bc? and will you be flying?
Assuming the date is set in stone I can look into booking that weekend off right away. Any general price were looking at for a round trip flight? I'm considering flying down, but driving is always an option as well.

$250ish for a round trip before taxes
I can do that.
But I'll wait and see how many people are driving. If like 2 people are driving I might go with them and help out with gas or whatever.
Otherwise I'll fly down for sure.

when keith gets home he can tell us how much gas was about, if we have like 4 ppl in a car, the trip would cost soooooooooo little splitting the gas between all of us

I'm flying, b****es.

EDIT: Well, I guess I could drive. My boss gets back next week, so I won't be able to confirm whether I can get the day off to drive or not until next Monday.

EDIT: The round trip is 2.5 tanks of gas, or less. At roughly $40 a tank, that's a total of $100, split between 4-5 people. My Corolla uses less gas than that beast we picked up for the last trip, LOL.

The BBR-RC is happy to announce the new Experimental Unity Ruleset System! This new system will allow TOs that follow the Unity Ruleset to run tourneys with slight alterations, while still retaining the full benefits of a regular Unity Ruleset tourney! These tourneys will be used as a means of gathering data on the slight ruleset alternations. The Experimental Unity Ruleset System will be active until December 31st, 2011. We will then take a short break of 1-2 months to analyze all data and make any potential changes, then re-open Experimental Rulesets to everyone after a month or two.

The BBR-RC acknowledges that it is rather difficult to test out different rules when there is a universal ruleset that most tourneys use. This system would help remedy that flaw. Want to run an MK banned tourney while still using Unity Ruleset? This system would allow that! Think Norfair should be legal and want to test it out? Then this system is for you!

Procedure

1. You must PM one of the following BBR-RC members that you wish your tourney to be accepted as an Experimental Unity Ruleset: Bizkit, Chibo, Player-1, Technical Chase, or Tin Man.
2. State what rule alternation(s) you wish for your tourney to use in the PM.
3. Make sure your tourney threads & pages state that you are using an Experimental Unity Ruleset after the BBR-RC member permits your tourney to use the altered ruleset.
4. After the tourney, PM the same BBR-RC member with the results of your tourney and any information or data you have written down or remember.

Notes

- This system requires that the BBR-RC gives your tourney permission to use an Experiemental Unity Ruleset. Because of this, your ruleset alterations must have valid intentions, and you must be willing to collect data based on your ruleset alterations. The data you will be expected to collect will be in your approval PM.
- Do not alter too many rules at once. For example, there is no point in banning MK and then banning Rainbow and Brinstar at the same tourney, as that would not give us any helpful results.
- This system is not a way of dodging Unity Ruleset because you do not like one or two rules. We will be keeping track of all of the TOs and tourneys that run the rulesets. If a TO is trying to abuse the system, they will no longer be permitted to use it.

Suggested Ruleset Testing

Alright guys, lets talk about this.
