You get there by turning on 30th AVE if on University Drive

or by turning at Abe Fishchler AVE (30 st., which is a continuation from 30th AVE at University drive) at College AVE.

Other helpful things:

It is nearby BCC Central Campus and Nova High School

Here are the URL to getting to the university in general

http://www.nova.edu/cwis/campusmaps/maincampus.html

Here is the campus map

The building with the number 23 is the University Center in the map, the mailman Hollywood building is number 4 on the map and the Rosenthal is number 6 on the map. All are located in the lower half of the map and the free parking is at the East Main Entrance.

This is a much more simpler version of the map shown below.

The protrusion at abe fischler blvd (30 st), at the top portion of the map, that goes into the campus but looks like it went into nowhere is where the library is at. And the East Main Entrance that leads to the Free parking is on this map also.

Here is how it looks like: (This is the back of the Library if your parking there)

This is the front of the University Center (the big long building is where the tournament is located. This is the mailman building entrance where the free parking is at.)

Using them will result in the immediate forfeit of the match.

--You are responsible to BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER.

I'm still getting everything worked out to see how many I could get, but this is how many tvs. I could get if all goes to plan. Any help in bringing extra tvs will be helpful.

__________________________________________________ ______________

I was asked by the AVACS president to do another tournament, so this may be my final tournament. This will most likely be at the end of this month or beginning of next month. Just want some input to see if anyone is interested.

It will be 1v1 only and most likely I won't enter to ensure the tournament to run smoothly without errors.

The entrance fee will be 10 dollars

Prizes will be around 100 dollars first, 150 if I'm capable of getting 50 people to getting to the tournament.

around 50-70 (maybe 100, but no guarantee) dollars for second place depending on amount of people coming. (This is a possible estimate, the president didn't told me what 2nd place prize will be.)

3rd place will get whatever Red Bull will sponsor us. (gift cards, red bull, etc.)

Don't take my word for prizes as 100% yet, since the president is debating on the prizes.

Again, if I decide to do this tournament, it will run smoothly, cause I'll have staff helping out, I'll be taking 100% control of tournament, and I want this tournament to be successful. All I need is your support.
__________________________________________________ ____________

Update 2/4/08!

He's willing to do it. He's planning it on March 1st. Plus there will be free food provided.

Just so you know that we're on the same page, the entry fee goes to the food and whatever is left over goes to AVACS. I know he want this as a fundraiser event, but I will make the payout as fair as possible, and make the event as successful as possible.

So, my question to you is do you think the prizes are reasonable?

__________________________________________________ __________

Update!! 2/7

I spoke with the AVACS president. He's making the prizes as followed

150 first place, 75 for second place, and 35 gift card third place, this is what he promise whether Red Bull sponsors us or not.

I'm having the flyer approved so that it could be distributed, so hopefully this week or early next week I'll put it up.

I spoke with the library, they'll be providing 2 tvs.

I'll be checking on the SUB for the other 3 tvs, and check the HPD to see how many I could get from them.

__________________________________________________ ______________

Update! 2/15

I spoke with Red Bull, they be giving a case of Red Bull to the event to be used in whatever form, and will have people bring red bull to the event.

I made brackets with numbers so that the numbers will designate where the loser will go. This will aid the tournament to run more smoothly, and I spent time making sure that the chances of facing someone again would be very slim unless you are at the semifinals where the chances depends on the winners from the previous round.

I'll be speaking with SUB today to see if they'll be able to provide tvs and I'll be speaking with the AVACS president and the secretary to see if they have done their part of the job on getting the event venue and checking the flyer with the NSU lawyer. Since AVACS, is having a meeting today, I'll be asking who will be there at the event.

I wanted them handle the responsibilities so that they would know the process of doing the tournament (which is rather simple), but If they haven't done it, then I may decide to take matter into my own hands.

I just want everyone to be clear on this

I'm going to ask SUB to seal the event so that we would have one entrance where we will have someone taking the consent form, checking ID, and collecting money to enter the area and writing their names down to enter the tournament. I know it may be a hassle, but I'm trying to make it as organized as possible.

Update 2/15

I spoke with SUB, they'll be able to close the venue, so that it will have one entrance and they'll provide their three tvs. The venue is confirmed at the 2nd floor at the UC.

5 people will be helping out at the tournament.

Johnny (president)
Linett (VP)
Juan (treasurer)
Katherine (treasurer)
Ryan

If you guys are willing to help set-up, you'll have to be there at 11am. It'll be getting the tvs. from the locations needed to the UC.

All that is missing is the approval of the flyer from Katie Blanco.

__________________________________________________ ____________

Update 2/18!!!

Alright the president spoke with the NSU lawyer, the flyer is approved with some minor changes.

The prize amount is the same, but gift cards to Best Buy, and she said that if the flyer has an entry it must say that it will cover food, drinks, and snacks.



I'll make those changes tonight after hw and have it posted on the AVACS website and here at smashboards early tomorrow morning for those who would like to help distribute to lan centers, local Gamestops and Gamestop at malls, Univerisity, and High Schools. So try your best to help out, the more we distribute, the bigger the word, the larger number of participants to have the biggest tournament possible.

So Hype this up and spread the word!

I 'll be e-mailing the hpd to get the last three tvs for the tournament. Again, if you can help out to bring tvs, gcs, and distributing flyers, that will be greatly appreciated!

Last but not least, Red Bull will not sponsor prizes, but will bring a case of Red Bull and bring their Red Bull team like last time to distribute extra drinks in addition to the case.

__________________________________________________ _________________

Update!! 2/19

Flyers up!! Go to http://www.nova.edu/avacs and click the link "flyer" to print out the flyer. If there is any problems, let me know!

__________________________________________________ ___________________
Update 2/22

To everyone,

HPD approve of the tvs, they didn't the said amount (just same as last time) but I'll find out later on. I'm still waiting on Red Bulls response to provide the free drinks.

Flyers on every building except 3 three at the University. I'll find out about Gamestop and Outlan gamecenter to see if they'll allow flyers.

__________________________________________________ ___________________
Update! 2/24!

Hi everyone, just letting you all know that the flyers have been distributed throughout NSU, the nearby Gamebreakers lan center, and War and Pieces. I gave out flyers to Outlan game center and to a High School who will give me a call on whether they'll put it up or not.

48, 56, and 64 are checked, edited, and completed so that the earliest they'll be facing someone again would be at the quarterfinals or 11th place. So all brackets are done. All I'm going to do is make and re-write on a new sheet to not have any scratch marks.

Don't forget that gamecubes are still needed. We have 7 guaranteed tvs and only 5 guaranteed gamecubes. So if you can bring it, it will be greatly appreciated!
