So Rikku and I don't have a place to stay. At this point, the chances seem slim that we can make this.

 

[Kel]

Aushper is from Medina, so why don't Blue and Shugo just try to carpool with him?

I'd offer my place for housing but I close Friday night and open to close Sunday at my work =(

 

[DLA]

Illinois is pretty much confirmed unless something goes horribly, horribly wrong.

We're gonna need housing on Sat night, and I'm too lazy to look through the past 10 pages, so can someone update me on the housing situation? Cell # etc. would help.

Also, I'm bringing a full setup... Oro says that he's bringing one too, but unless he wants to carry that big-*** TV on his lap for 6 hours, there probably won't be room lol. Assuming I fill the car up of course

 

[Today]

I can house people Friday and Saturday night. My number is on the OP all the way on the bottom so just add it and text it or something.

 

[Airborne]

OMG, Illinois's gonna be there.... I might try harder to go now.

My best bet will be to find someone to switch shifts with me, and then drive there for singles. However, convincing my dad is ALWAYS the issue. >___<

 

[DarkLouis331]

Yeahyuz...IL is going. :D

Here's how my car is looking:

1. DarkLouis
2. Lain
3. Tech_Chase
4. Amadeus (Toledo)
5. Tutu/Gio (I think its Earthadept)

 

[Today]

Okay, so Friday night I have 5 + Auspher & Friend I'm assuming?
That's enough room. I live in an apartment, but I have a pretty big living room and I've housed tons of people for MLG, so this isn't really much in comparison.

And Saturday night I have IL-- which is how many people, DLA?

 

[lou4222]

Lain team with me

Hey so in case you guys didn't notice, this tournament is going to be pretty big.

EDIT:
As one of the people helping out with this event I want to stress to you how important it is to BE ON TIME!!!!!!

TOs can only do so much. We have a great team running this event that have had experience running 2+ events of 30-50 people. I'll be the first to say that this team is not going to kid around: no "Lain breaks", no bending over backwards completely for people who want to go to lunch just as their pools are getting into the hectic portions, low tolerance for lateness to matches, no friendlies unless certain stations are designated for friendlies, attentive pool leaders assigned to pools, etc. In short, this event is going to be run at MAXIMUM efficiency.

Maximum efficiency only goes so far when we lose even one hour to people not getting to places on time. Smashers are notoriously slow to start events - I know because I too have been guilty of this even after I began TO'ing and understood the importance of time. Please contact any of the TOs (my number, for reference, is 513-206-0500; calls only) in the event that you are going to be late and we will try our very best to accomodate for you, but if you don't call then we can't be helpful at all.

TL,DR: Call us if you're going to be late. We're going to run a tight ship because this event has a lot of people entering, so don't try to d!ck around and expect to get away with it. Reg starts at 11? Who cares, be here at 10:30 anyways. I will be at the venue starting at 10:15 waiting for people to arrive.

 

[sai_:)]

yes...yes it is. and just a reminder everyone


setups...bring em

 

[Fizzle_Boy]

Lain team with me

That ain't Needle of Juntah

 

[Kel]

Lain team with me

Dude, don't. Have you not heard the word?

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Ugh Im about to give up on finding a good partner for doubles lol i cant find one Still looking forward to this though. If anyone happens to be interested let me know.

 

[Deleted member]

Okay, so Friday night I have 5 + Auspher & Friend I'm assuming?

Really? That would be awesome!!

 

[sneakytako]

I might play some doubles, TC wanna team? Ima pretty fun partner to say the least.

 

[clowsui]

Yeah, Tako's MK is solid for teams + his ROB isn't too shabby either :3 I'll vouch for him.

 

[sneakytako]

Thanks Chi, but my MK is still garbage atm.

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Okay Tako let's do it. I'm cool with that :D I got a solid Snake and D3 for doubles it should be fun.

This is extremely important. We are not going to have much time, compared to the amount of people showing up at this event. If you haven't signed up at 12:00, don't expect to enter doubles, unless we're running late and are still accepting entry. Same with singles. Have yourself signed up at 3:00 or earlier. There have been too many tournaments where we've been threated to be kicked out of the venue, or even have been. I don't want any trouble caused for those that got us the venue, so we're going to be extremely strict on signups.

Also Tako, love the avatar XD

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

I'm excited to T.O for this event also. It's good experience I'll do a good job of enforcing the rules as you have to for an event of this magnitude.

 

[DarkLouis331]

Okay Tako let's do it. I'm cool with that :D I got a solid Snake and D3 for doubles it should be fun.

Aw shiiiit, Tako and TC. :D

$1/$5 mm sometime during the day, Tako? (I hated when they made you forfeit game 1 at MLG) Or friendlies. w/e I guess lol

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Oh yeah I need get in on those MMs. I got a $2 one with Hilt though :D

 

[Dajayman]

You guys should try to set up a live stream. I love to be a live stream commentator. :3

 

[DtJ Composer]

Ook won't always be on the livestream, Dajayman.

 

[Dajayman]

You should've seen me commentating on the match being livestreamed and Ook's match across the room. I'm too pro.

 

[sai_:)]

I think I forgot to actually mention what area in the college the tournament will be on. It will be in the ATLC lounge area so you can see it once you enter the ATLC building


IF YOU ARE BRINGING A SETUP, you can be dropped off on the side of the building so you dont have to carry t.v's and stuff up any stairs,Its a straight walk across

Also Incase my number wasnt posted its 513-338-3262

 

[Oro?!]

disregard this.

 

[sai_:)]

also I should be able to get atleast 2 or 3 wii's out of my cincinnati state friends

 

[Today]

Day-chan's taking MMs, too! Just for fun and to help get better!

Spoiler

Just because I'm a girl doesn't make me bad. ;p

Edit: We should have livesteam. I don't know who's bringing it (Jake/TheComposer?) I just know we'll probably have it.

 

[Exceladon City]

I'd like to livestream Asdioh's *** whupping.

 

[clowsui]

A reminder again to everyone out there:

I am going to be at the venue at 10:15 AM, roughly. Set up begins at 11:00, but I will probably have all the table arrangements done in the main area so half the work will be done.

Now for new stuff:

I will be bringing a notebook, a pen and a sharpie to take registrations, mark stations with and to make pools sheets. Thus I will also be bringing tape and scissors. I will probably bring a few pens/pencils with me as well.

I am bringing TWO power strips. If ANYBODY has ANY power strips PLEASE bring them.

 

[DtJ Composer]

I actually don't have the right kind of capture equipment to do a livestream.

I thought Hilt/Crash had a dazzle though?

 

[sneakytako]

Aw shiiiit, Tako and TC. :D

$1/$5 mm sometime during the day, Tako? (I hated when they made you forfeit game 1 at MLG) Or friendlies. w/e I guess lol

Sure sure, I've been wanting a rematch :D.

And yeah hilt <this is one of my favorite scenes in OP. I remember reading the jump the week it came out on ROFLing.

Chi, I'm beginning setups around 10:30. You can come whenever if you feel the need to help out.
As for registrations and such, I'm making a registration paper already here at home. You can bring your things for pools sheets, that's fine.
Also, I'm going to have a helper's list. I'll probably move you down to that.
Other than that, we need long term TO help. As in, people that know how to do seeding, etc. I'm assuming that Springfield will help do that.

@Jake, Hm! You have your mic, right? Does it work on your laptop? I'll ask about the Dazzle.

 

[DtJ Composer]

I do have a mic.

I'm not sure if we can run the livestream on my mac, but if Isaias ends up coming I think I can volunteer his computer for the job.

 

[clowsui]

!!

Okay, that's fine. I didn't know about all that haha so nvm about all the stuff I said then

 

[Today]

@Jake Doesn't he have work or something? That would be pretty cool, though!
Mic would be helpful!

If all, I guess we're going to need more laptops that can setup Livesteam.

Spoiler

Fanfan namesearch please.

Louisville can't bring their Dazzle.
So we're going to need a Dazzle. Maybe Springfield? Anyone?
I have a Dazzle like thing I can bring for a last resort, but I have no clue how to set it up on a livesteam. But I can set it up on a computer.

@Chi, It's cool. We're still going to need your resources. I appreciate it.

 

[lou4222]

Dude, don't. Have you not heard the word?

I was just thinkin about that the other day and how funny it was. Good times. Who you teaming with?

 

[Kel]

Is this is the same area as Smashing through the Stones?

 

[Braxton2011]

I hope none of you will be mad at SiiS.
