Well let's figure out how much Brighton cost first...

And then I will ask him about Southampton, he already knows about Southampton so I told him the whole money situation so let's just wait for some confirmation.

Ok cool, btw with the tournament fee: it's £5 online and £10 in person. If you pay an extra £5 toward my petrol then I can book online for you.

edit: nvm it seems that the £5 thing is for people not entering any brackets, it's £10 to enter smash as well as pay for venue fee.

They actually get on well, they just have a lot of arguments on the boards.

@JJ: I have a laptop with Windows 7, apparently it works you just need different software. I'm not 100% sure the hardware is good enough but it should be. If Charles could bring his capture card that would work best, though.

£10 for smash and venue fee is the online offer, on the day it will be £10 venue and £5 tournament.

For those that can't book online we will have a new offer up shortly.

Everyone at Bullet Bills is going to the Brighton thing too though so if you're gonna bother coming down for one of them you may as well go to both. You can get housed at Bullet Bill's too

It's not that we don't want to go to Bullet Bill's because we do....the problem is we don't know how much AC will charge us for it as we don't even know how much we are paying him to take us to Brighton.

It should be a lot less because it's getting split 5 ways but we still need some confirmation.

Also I think we're only going to the 'day before' smashfest and not the 'day after' smashfest if we do end up.

This is a little last minute though prof. You have had quite a lot of time to try and get cheap travel by coach or train and you didn't because you never bother to book things for yourself :glare:

Im not the only one lol...neither did the people who are getting the journey with me.

And I can't do anything cos I literally just spoke to AC and he said that he is going to confirm the prices by Monday, anyone who drives has an idea of how much that might be split between 5 people?

A journey from London to Southampton. then to Brighton, then back to London.

Edit - If we do come there will be 5 of us, so make sure you have enough setups and stuff.

Okay thanks jolteon

So, I would like very much to attend the Brighton event. From what I've gathered, it would be most efficient for me to catch the 04:26(!) from Glasgow Central to Brighton on Saturday, attend the tournament, and then...I'm not so sure. Do you all in the UK tend to have "afterparty" events? In the US, regional tournaments are pretty much always followed by a smashfest by local(s) who are housing people who have come from afar. However, I wouldnt necessarily expect that in this case because this event seems to be a bit more public. Regardless, is anyone in Brighton housing people? If not, I think my next best option would be to go to Bill's (for ~£15) Saturday night and leave Sunday morning for a trip [7 hours lol] back to Glasgow from Southampton Airport via Euston.

Does anyone think I might be able to make that trip more efficient? Thanks for reading btw.

You might be able to stay at mine on Saturday. I'm really not sure who is at the moment...but there will probably be room on the couch or something.

Well, my issue is one more of logistical ease. Because I'm having to catch a train wherever I go and I eventually have to make my way to Euston (and time spent not travelling is time spent sleeping/playing friendlies with talented players) I wanted to find the best way to minimize time/money spent on trains. I certainly dont mind sleeping on the floor, if that's the problem.

You can stay at mine, it's ok I think. But there are a lot of people staying and my flat is small. Just a warning.

Southernrailway reports that I should be there by 10:57, which I understand is rather close to the start time of the Swiss rounds, but the the venue is apparently right next to the train station according to the google map.
