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.

Yeah, I feel like this tournament hasn't been as well advertised/hyped as Pound. :S

Regardless, I hope people still show up and support this circuit. I'd hate to see it die.

VGBC people:

I think this should have been planned a bit further in advance. Like Tyr said, people were okay with high venue fees at Pound because it had been hyped up for a looooooong time. People had time to make plans and a big turnout was assured.

This thread has only been up for about 2 months, and seems insignificant in comparison. Therefore, a $20 venue fee is a bit steep, and everyone is waiting for everyone else to register before they make their decision.

You guys did a great job with the nifty custom invitations and stuff, but that stuff should have started waaaay earlier, and kept increasing till the big day.

I'm sure most people want to see this circuit succeed. I certainly do. It's awesome that you're doing something on the national level. Maybe after Indy, you can take a step back and work on building a stable following instead of rushing headlong into things.

I dunno, just some suggestions.

we normally pay $10 for a local tounry, $20 for a nation doesn't seem that bad imo, and aside from ally, is it seems like most of the OOS aren't talking about the prices that much


btw, i'm willing to mm almost everyone a this :) (mk's, depends on my mood)

yeah like I said, it's worth the extra money to get to play new competition.

And PS, I want to MM you. $5 or less though. I'll be trying to MM a lot as well.

Alright, to compromise with the players who don't want to pay $20 we are going to do the following:

-Everyone who Pre-regs for this tournament will pay $15 for the venue fee(You'll still have to pay $20 when you pre-reg, you'll get $5 back in cash at the tournament.)

-If you pay at the door you'll have to pay the full $20 Venue Fee.

I just preregistered for Brawl singles. Anyone interested in teaming with me for doubles?

Also, I'm accepting any money matches from people I haven't played. Probably $5 maximum. Chibo? HAT? Other people from out of state? I'll look for you all at the tournament but if you post something I'll write it down and try to make sure I find you.

Sry, I won't be here for this event.

Keep an eye out for me at The Showdown, Apex 2010, and a couple other unannounced summer majors ;)

This tourney has melee on Saturday and brawl on Sunday. The one in IL is the opposite, so people can go to both.

Also for the record I won't be going to this, there's a monthly this weekend that's a lot closer (and cheaper >_>). Sorry BigD, hope you can find another teams partner.

Heeeey so like someone from Michigan should totally give L_Cancel and me a ride to this. :D L will give you a hug if you do and I will..watch..as he gives you the hug, in a non-creepy way of course. Unless you want it to be creepy. That can be arranged as well.

Yeah, thanks for the discount. Definitely going to pay soon. Probably tomorrow.


....Um how do I do that? Should I just re-register and then pay at the end?

By the way guys, if you plan on paying at the venue(full $20) preregister anyways and just don't pay. It'd be nice if we could get a general head count for this.

@anybody who is confused at the website...click the register button and not the games themselves LOL, even though i'm not going to this i was curious how to pre-reg until i discovered that "register" was the key and that you indicated which game you were signing up for in the register part LOL
