I'm excited for this GPS

Also I really really don't like night driving, so let me drive during the afternoon for a while if anything. =x

my dog had surgery and almost got his left eye removed. i have to stay home this weekend to watch him while my parents take my car to a wedding. Spikes would rather go to geek kon sago had something with work. I could have probably have gotten my car for this but with the whole dog thing. yeah...

Picture this:

You're driving in the car. A voice yells "CAUTION!" if you're driving too fast.

1 minute later...

"CAUTION!"

Repeat for duration of the car ride.

This.

That is the reason my team name was Team Caution when we used Arty's GPS to go to the Indianapolis tournament.

@Ripple, alright thank you. *adds to list of stuffs*

@People going to No Koast-apparently, theres a possibility that we can be housed in Kansas City with Fino, which would cut our trip on Friday by 3 hours, but we'd have to drive 3 hours to the venue in the morning, naturally.

What is everyone's opinion on this? Which would you prefer? We may not have a choice, as I still have to talk to both of them, but let me know anyway.

It's looking like:

We'll try to leave my place before 1pm.

It's a 3 hour(maybe a little more) drive to you.

So plan for 4pm I guess.

And I lost your phone number...can you give it to me again? xD

Hey kids! Some No Koast info if you guys are wondering

Arty/Ripple 1st seed

Kirk 3rd Seed

Xyless 6th seed.

it's a 64 man bracket with pools of around 10 people.

Everyone in IL made it out of pools :), though I'm not sure about Wafles because they didn't tell me about him (he's WI anyway!) I've been getting text message updates so I can keep everyone else in the know. Except for now cause I'm about to leave actually lol.

How did ook do?!?!
Ook came to champaign, where we had the smallest turnout out of all of the CoCs. :(

cmon, we host these every other week, central IL/eastern IL/everyone should come to these!!
Though there are good people, we're just missing all of the scrubs, so the pots aren't that big :(

No more johns about no tournaments in IL outside of Chicago, just come to these!

you should do monthly CoCs so you have time to hype them up and prepare properly. also maybe some type of circuit system so people would have to show up to each one.

I'd be fine with monthly CoCs. Or we could stick with biweeklies and have every other one be friendlies or something? You know, try to get more people from campus.

What do you guys think?

The circuit sounds like a good idea too.

Monthly CoCs does sound like a better idea! If you want some help with establishing circuit points, I still have my info from running all of the TIMS "monthlies". (established point system for each individual top 16 if played out or not, and for beyond that too) If we were to do some sort of CoC circuit system, we'd have to be able to see the brackets afterward! (lol)



Should we just consider running an IL Brawl Circuit? Ohio is running 2, Michigan is running the LoLiS circuit, and then there's a general one... but is there enough interest?

Monthly CoCs would be a good idea, but a better idea would be to have more info on where exactly the tournament is, have a set time to start, post the CoCs on smashboards, and not be late to your own tournament :p


Fun time though :) nice playing you guys again




Good **** people at no koast
Kirk got 9th place, awesome
