This thread is for the organisation of both Housing and Equipment for SQUAT. Both of which will be vital the success of this tournament. As such, I think it's necessary to have a separate thread to make sure all the important posts are visible.

Don't leave this alone. Get onto it NOW and figure it out before it's too late. Contact the people who have expressed interest in housing, contact DJ Cat, Arrow, Hotdog, any of em.

State your numbers, how long you want to stay, etc.

Numbers so far:

People offering housing + Who they're housing:
Accelerate is housing: S.D, ComboTurtle
Arrow is housing: (Space for three)
Vyse is housing: Shaya
undead_moose is housing: Spots for 2 (Max 3) – Has no transport and lives out of the way however. Bussing is completely plausible though.
DJ Cat is housing: (He’s got a few people already, not sure whom though).

People in need of housing:
(Not sure who's got in with Bob yet, I'll have to talk to him/get you guys to fill me in)
Muzga (One of 6 Perthites)
Lord Bowser (One of 6 Perthites)
4 more perthites (Perthites need to be top priority - they're paying $500+ to be here!)
Redact
Leisha
Atlasmist
Unreon
JELLYHEAD
DJ Browny (Unsure of attendance)

Additional Info:
Post airport landing times -> Scrubs will pick you guys up! What a champ.

______________

If you guys can't secure housing, this is some info on conveniently located accommodation. I'd suggest grabbing a room and piling tons of people into it to make it as cheap as possible.

I have also approached Griffith University @ Nathan regarding their student accomodation but I am unsure if I will get a response.

I'll need housing, but only if I manage to find someone to roadtrip up with, because I definitely won't have the monies to fly up.

Posted this in the other thread... But will post it here as well...

Airport pickups....

When your flights are booked post details and I can pick people up from the airport and take them to housing whatever....

I am unsure if the cost is the same inbound....but city to airport trains cost $15 and there are no concession fares...plus people are new to Brissy and our public transport isn't that great so it would probably be better for people to get driven...

Additionally

On the morning of the tourney I will go to the most populated house (probably either Bob's or Antho's since he cant drive) and take people to the tourney

I'll probably stay somewhere in Brisbane the night before.
We're going to set up equipment the night before as well.

Also, thanks Ben.

Probably, but wait for him to say so.

Edit:
Decided to move this out here so it's more visible.
Going to combine this into an equipment log and staff thread as well.

Oh well. I guess he's just.. Different
I can house a few people as we have a room here that no one uses and is just gathering dust... Problem with that is then getting to the venue seeming as I will most likely get a lift or something.

Just putting it out there in case it's needed

I think I remember where you stayed that one time we came to get you. In coomera or something right?

That's not too far out. Just gotta catch a bus to the train station is all.

Out of curiosity is DJ Cat housing people?
Yes DJ says he is housing people, all you need to do is ask him.
Catch is his CPU isn't working so you'll have to get in contact with him by means other smashboards/Internet.
