what day is this

this is Saturday April 16th

too bad this is on the same day as the tsunami charity tourny.

true but not everyone can travel, we’re more or less expecting locals only but if anyone else wants to come out that’d be awesome.

On the Starcraft 2 note, it’s BYO-PC but much like bring your own controller, some people will likely be willing to share.

If anyone knows an amature photog that wants to come doc the event that’d be awesome, I’ll also be supplying 2 cameras to tape matches, i only have 1 tripod, i’ll be looking for a volunteer to carry the other cam around to catch candid moments.

I’ll be there, but I might not be entering any of the tournaments.

Thats cool. As was said above observers get in free.

We have our 3 camera holding volunteers selected, if anyone else wants to lend a hand just lemmie know.

Im moving to barrie on the 9th.
I can voulenteer some shit if you want

Too bad indeed…

First a flopped Barrie tourney, then picking the same day as our charity tourney. i dunno what to say. hahah

The issue with the flopped tourney have been rectified. You can be assured that it wont happen again.

As for the date I’m looking into having this postponed a week or two so that we can both attend each others tourneys.

Yeah, there is honestly no need to have the dates conflict. You shouldn’t be thinking “oh we don’t have the same demographic” anyway. If you can attract even 2-3 people from the GTA to your tourney and they have a good time, word of mouth will ensure that your next few tourneys will have a bigger turnout. We’re all in Ontario, everyone should be working together. :slight_smile:

agreed, i’m currently talking wit hthe venue operator at the time of posting this to see what can be done.

Update: the Tourny has been pushed back to avoid a conflicting date

Barrie ppl will also be making efforts to appear.

Original post has been edited to show the pushback

Um, FYI hibiksters tournament in London also falls on the 30 th.

As per my pm i suggested a week prior or after the fundraiser.

As far as i know we cant do either of those. I most certanly cant do a week earlier, and I believe the store owner cant do a week later

That really sucks man, I would have loved to come out but I have already committed to Hibikster for his as a sponsor.

Going forward I really encourage that you double-check the tournament listings to avoid any date conflicts. This will garner a greater turnout for your event(s).
