@Hylian, I just talked to the owner of Arch City Games in Bridgeton. They hold tournaments at their game store pretty often. ... It sounds okay, maybe not ideal, but okay...
We could start the tournament as early as noon on a Saturday.
$5/person venue fee.
They do not have CRT TV's there, but he's cool with us bringing our own.
We'd have to bring our own game discs, possibly a couple extra consoles.
We can have all our own rules and set the tournament fee at whatever we want.
He said the venue gets a little crowded with more that 20 in there... which would mean that it wouldn't be good to have people from as far as KC or Springfield coming to this.
And also he said that if it turns out to be either a larger or smaller than expected turnout, he would recommend that we adjust the rules of the tourney to either make it go quicker or last longer.
So, not ideal... but I do like the venue fee pricing. I think it would be alright for a STL local tourney... but we play together all the time anyway for free. I didn't make any commitments, which is good cuz I'm leaning towards 'no'... but it does sound easy.
He also has connections with this guy name William ... something... but this is his website: http://www.stlgu.com/ Apparently he's trying to build a fighting game scene in STL, and conjuring publicity and other sorts of stuff. It may be a connection worth exploring.
