You don't go to a tournament to play games


I'd actually spend time arguing that the quality of the tournament is also a big factor, the chance to compete with the nation's best is a big factor, wanting to prove oneself at a competitive level is a big factor etc. but I think I'll leave it because we know the point you're trying to get at. And no, I realise it wasn't an intentional troll :p


Anyway, is there going to be food provided or something? (You guys were talking about food)
Is that why the entry fee is $60?

Also Genesis was $100 American :)

EDIT: Alzi's last post confirms it I guess. I really like venues with food. :)

OMG, I could totally diverge and write a blog about what I think it means to be a tournament organizer and what makes a tournament great. I think I'll do that now; my brain needs to cracking open.

I'll read it as soon as you write it.

Actually it's funny you mention it, today I've been brainstorming ideas about running a national later this year during a meeting for my Business Analysis unit at Uni and I've got this urge to break down the process of organising and running a tournament down into a business process to re-analyse the process I usually go through.

Also been thinking about what I'll call it.

I'm seeing this issue through marketing perspectives used in best practice today. I'm doing a course at work and the parallels between what we strive to develop and what companies are doing out there, is surprising.

God, we're such TO nerds.

I hear you Cao. I just started my new job today in marketing, and my mind is already starting to work some of the principles into being a TO.

Please don't talk about pointless spending.

I spent like 800 at Rocky lol. I have no idea how much is going to fall from my pocket at Thriller haha.

Sieg, how did you manage to spend that much at Rocky? Heck, I didn't even spend that much when I was in America lol! ($400-$500).

Unless you went shopping. Fair enough...otherwise, that's a lot of money spent >_> on ________.

id rather a bigger pot or cheaper entry fee in favor of buying my own lunch. lunches people buy for me are notoriously low in protein, and i end up buying another lunch anyway.

admittedly, if it wasnt for the thriller dance, i probs wouldnt go to this O_o

We'll do good in doubles Nova because obviously you will fail hard but i will carry on the team. THERE IS AN I IN TEAM IT'S ME.

Nah only kidding we should do good i mean we will definatly get top 8 in doubles which is good enough.

shmot we can hit up on the gym after thriller to work out or biceps for the last day of thriller so we are pumped.

I LAG just come $60 isn't much.

Ashley and I stole the crowd at Bryan's party with the Thriller Dance. It was just a taste of things to come.

It's less than that if you only play Brawl, which I assume you would.

I think Atilla is scared to attend because he will get beaten by my toon link then look bad infront of everyone.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO COME TO THRILLER.

It even has tasty burgers as i am told. Who would put down a offer of tast burgers.

Is there a time when we eat shaya?

teeheehee

Maybe some people should read the OP and then ask Shaya via pm instead of being all "blarghflargh" in this thread.

I think Shaya will do a great job and I don't really know why people are going "Thriller's 'x' will be bad because blarghflargh".

Ted, I'd like to MM you for the value of $0, is that possible? :]
