[t3h Icy]

Man, I really hope ICG's matches are recorded.

 

[PEEF!]

They better be.

ICG 1$ MM? Only if you lose you don't have to pay me anything?

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

LOL people alreadly thinking I suck more than I do, whatever yeah Rich I will. Really I don't have much money for MMs or anything.

Also I would really love to commtey at least one match I need to build up my speacking skills for when I become president.

[PEEF!]

The title of this thread should include Hungrybox (2nd best melee player in world), not just 3 brawl players if you want melee attention.

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

Yeah melee is always more hyped plus less likely to vomit on the floors. so why not incude a melee pro's name up there

 

[VGBootCamp]

Hungry Box hasn't 100% confirmed yet, once he does we'll add him.

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

Great news after walking around wanting to make something i'm making me a straight jacket and i've saved over $200. So I will be in a white straight jacket.

 

[KoD]

King* not Lord. Just sayin'.

plus i dont think the presence of mike haze is gonna tempt anyone into coming

edit: i'll help you guys make pools/brackets for melee if you let me out of the venue fee, i'm really good at it

 

[PEEF!]

LOL

I hate that this is pre-reg. =[

Do I have to pay early? I don't even have a card or online payment method...

 

[Radium88]

There's no pre-reg discount right?

 

[hunger!]

wow. this tourney is looking promising now. too bad i cant make it cause the horrible schedule thing and having to be home early monday =(

 

[VGBootCamp]

LOL

You can buy a visa gift card at the store and use it online.

 

[KrazyKnux]

Hungry Box hasn't 100% confirmed yet, once he does we'll add him.

None of the other guys are 100% confirmed yet, are they? Or at least the registration list isn't updated. Hope to see some more Melee hype soon.

 

[PEEF!]

Is nobody tryna team with me? Tomacawk? If not I'm gonna get this registration goin.

 

[Icyo]

You should team with crazy guy. He'll probably end up winning both singles and doubles.

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

LOL can you reg for doubles after regging for singles? Also you don't want to team with me I don't play anyone worth while but I will bid my time like a shark when you are on a raft you will fall asleep and I will sallow you whole when you fall asleep.

 

[VGBootCamp]

Like Pound, at the tournament we will confirm Team mates. If you or your team mate came together after you pre-regged, then you can pay at the tournament.

 

[AllyKnight]

to go or not to go or not to go or not to go or not to go or not...

 

[Lucario1337]

Sigh i cant come. no way to get there...

 

[L_Cancel]

Come Ally! xD

I think I'm going. I just need to figure out ride details. lol

 

[Overswarm]

Update reg list, or is this how many people who have pre-regged? Having Brawl on a Sunday makes me wonder if I'd be able to drive all the way back home XD

 

[PEEF!]

Like Pound, at the tournament we will confirm Team mates. If you or your team mate came together after you pre-regged, then you can pay at the tournament.

Cool, so can I just pay for singles when I arrive? I am 100% coming, I just don't want to do this going and getting a visa card and all that. I want to walk up to a table and hand someone money. Kinda like the above description of doubles =]

 

[Drephen]

yo can we get an update on the venue fee situation?

the best suggestions i heard is $10 per day instead of $20 for both days especially since most people will only be staying for one day

i really think this is gonna stop people from deciding to come or not. And with the rented out room and stuff i dunno the specifics but i think $10 per day is pretty reasonable.

 

[iamthemicrowave]

yeah some people from purdue are johning out because of the venue fee, if you could take it down to 10$ per day I think attendance would be alot better.

 

[AllyKnight]

Yeah im not paying for 20 if im only going on Sunday. ( ithink)

 

[Today]

Yeah. I don't think I will come if I have to pay $20.00 for going for Sunday only.
Or if I do go, I won't have enough money for the tournament since all of my money will be going just for one day.. and I kind of want to enter and that wouldn't make any sense to pay $20.00 and not do anything for one day only.
I know other people who are reconsidering not going as well..

I'm sorry. I hope things work out, though.
I still think pay $20.00 if you are going Saturday and Sunday. Pay $10.00 if you are only going Saturday only or Sunday only.

 

[solecalibur]

$20 is a bit steep put me as a maybe for attendance though

 

[VGBootCamp]

Look guys we're spending a lot of money for this tourney. About $3,500 total.

Here's an itemized list:

Renting two rooms for two days: $1070

electricity in the rooms for two days: $1067

Truck Rental to and from Indianapolis: about $1,000

Paying the Econo Lodge to Have a shuttle for two nights: $200

Renting a Hotel Room for 3 nights for VGBootCamp Employees: $165

We would need about 170 people just to BREAK EVEN at this tournament.



The National Circuit just won't happen if you guys aren't willing to pay a $20 Venue Fee. We need your support.


and a Reminder: you can play friendlies on the days your game isn't happening.

 

[Today]

TT__TTv Welp. I'd love to support you guys. I just don't really think I'll have the money. If I do go, I just won't be able to enter the tournament. >__< Which I guess is fine if it helps you guys..
I'll think about it..
If not, good luck and I hope all is well!

 

[BigD!!!]

no offense to vgbootcamp, but since the prizes are simply breakdowns of the pot by %, then you really arent adding extra incentive for people to pay you to run the tournament

its great that you guys are starting a national circuit, but you are making a profit off of us with us getting no real benefit as compared to an independently run event, not to mention we are paying for your hotel room and etc.

you just arent really offering something that most smashers would consider worth directly paying you for. maybe you'll have a table with a fancy sign, you'll have a bunch of different games most of us don't care about, and we're probably not even getting free snacks

i think its tough to imagine a scenario in which, for all 5 separate games you are running tournaments for, you have a total of less than 170 people

i just want you guys to understand the reasoning behind the apprehension at the venue fee

edit: and realistically friendlies on the opposite day of the tournament would be too crowded around a probable 1 or 2 setups, i can play friendlies on any day of my life without paying a venue fee and not have to wait in line

 

[AllyKnight]

VGbootcamp... wow... lol good job, no offense too but if you thought this would be as close as POUND 4. you're on drugs. Already seeing how much you're spending for this tournament, I... wow.... fail. Probably not going anymore, I can probably see a terrible payout coming up.

We aren't going to take money from the pot to pay for expenses. We don't do things like that

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

My biggest problem is the fact we play friendlies now the day we aren't there to play. I live here so it's not that bad.

 

[Tyr_03]

People are used to $10 venue fees which sometimes includes food and housing around here. People put up with high venue fees for Pound because it was way more advertised and everyone knew there was going to be a huge turnout. Nobody really knows who's going to end up coming to this.

That said, I'm still willing to pay the extra $10 because people are coming from out of state and it'll be fun. Hopefully more people will suck it up and pay.
