No, the fairgrounds has multiple inside buildings for rent controlled with AC along with tables and chairs. What more do we need? 
WHEW!!! :bgrin:
how much we might need to cover the expenses? âŚletâs not try to overdo it now. 
The venue im looking at is big and nice (10k sq feet) and would cost about $1000 per day (all expenses included in that price). Getting 2k to pay off a nice venue is easy, but the hard part is getting it BEFORE the tournament starts. I could throw about 500 towards it, but that still leaves 1500 more or so. Iâm talking to a friend in the Smash community who is loaded and may be able to loan me some more, but maybe not the entire $1500 remaining. The money will be easily remade with venue fees. Venue fee for the tournament will be $20, and Smash will be able to get at least 100 alone. That should pay off the venue in itself.
Then wouldnât it be better if the venue fee was lowered, due to the fact weâll have more people splitting the bill?
funny how now it partially is up after everything is exposed today. u cant click on anything
What a fucking joke this Manny guy is. I hope someone sues his ass. Iâm not buying any of that shit he posts.
So once again. How is everyone going to get their pre-reg money back?
It all depends on the amount of entrants we would have as a whole. If we could confidently get 200 total people, we could easily lower it.
Either way itâs a lot less than GAMME, so at least thats good. We already have a venue that can hold like 100-125 but thatâs all. We could probably squeeze into that just for smash so Iâm just suggesting this as an alternative for all of us 
Are you seriously that dense? I mean I get that youâre not buying anything Manny says but he stated in like three separate posts numbers and emails of people to contact to get your money back. Iâd assume you were following along if your posts didnât seem so pointlessly trollish.
thank you
Thank you xybur.
Plank thank you for trying to move on with this whole thing considering the circumstances (and anyone
else on here as well)
I feel really bad about this whole situation as a whole (even though I really did not have much say in the matter until this week) and would like to try and help out in any way possible along with GPX.
I just spoke with Manny over the phone and he will indeed be at MWC this weekend to talk with people and then is taking himself off the road to be with family (our thoughts go out to our brother).
He has allowed us to try and make some sort of a mends by offering up equipment for a tourney that is put together by you guys/gals so at least you will not have to worry so much on that side.
I know it is a small contribution and for a lot of people does not start to cover what could have been, and again my apologies goes out to everyone.
I just hope there is good that comes out of this and to let people know that the staff of GPX is here to help if you need it, thatâs the least we can do. 
feel free to pm me on here for any clarification or details on any happenings so we can work out arrangements to be there
Plank I talked to hungry box on the phone just now. Well be in touch. Iâll help outnwith the venue fee to get it going and then handler the street fighter end of the tournament and worry about the rest after we get a location set.
We are gonna make this happen guys.
This all sounds great. I really think once something gets set in that you guys should think about making another thread that has nothing to do with GAMME as it will be cluttered with random posts.
But on a positive note, I really do not think many people were comming to this(GAMME) just for TvC:UAS but there was a bonus pot for the game so some might. I would be willing to help by bringing 3 full setups for the game along with 4 wii sticks and a couple of ps2/GC converters if needed.
Florida has really good comp in games but we also seem to have some really shady TOâs. Our scene will pull strong to make something happen and all I can ask is that people do not look at this like they should not trust florida for large tourneys.
Florida Stand up.
Tampa-Orlando connection son!
If you guys can get the Fairgrounds, more power to you. Jebailey has experience and heâs on the up-and-up, Iâm sure he can get something good going with the help of the Smash organizers.
Shame about GAMME but I think it was to be expected, and more importantly, it seems like Florida has the combined brainpower/manpower to salvage something decent from the wreckage. Once I hear an affirmative on securing the venue I will gladly reach for my wallet.
I still donât get why the fuck youâre defending him. Because of his lies, a lot of peopleâs MONEY (plane tickets are non-refundable) and TIME (people took time off work for this) were wasted. I donât care if he refunds the measly venue fee and shit, that pales in comparison to the damage he already did to the community.
I mean, to have the audacity to say âheyâŚweâre moving the tournament back a few months guysâ ONE month before a tourney is pretty sketchy already. After that, all of Mannyâs bullshit comes to light. I already gave the dustloop community the heads up so youâre probably blacklisted from there too Mr. Camacho.
This shit wouldnât fly here in Cali, and you guys from Florida shouldnât accept it either. Best case scenario, the man bit off more than he can chew for his first major (I meanâŚwho the fuck really needs all these random VAs and cosplayers to come?). Worst case scenario, heâs a dickwad scam-artist. Based off Mannyâs behavior, Iâm leaning towards the latter.
Maybe Mr. Camacho should stop traveling across the country drinking himself silly/hitting strip clubs and focus on getting his own tournament done right first. The more I hear from him, the less I believe he actually has cancer. Everything out of his mouth has been a lie.
If youâre asking about the weird text, itâs Lorem Ipsum.
It basically means that theyâre still working on it.
EDIT:
Just looked up stuff on the website, since it seems to be half up.
It says itâs made by âDCA Professional Design Servicesâ AKA âDavid Christopher Asherâ
The DCA website isnât even finished, nor does it have ANY contact information. and considering a google of them brings up nothing, I would assume they arent a real company.
IN FACT, the google of the name âDavid Christopher Asherâ brings results of a man with the same name who was a co founder of Otakon.
Long story short, either heâs stealing the name of a guy, or a friend is making the website for him. Either way it wouldnât cost nearly 18,000$
Also the website looks like shit.
I donât know Manny, and therefore I have no reason to defend him. If you somehow have missed my previous comments, Iâve been trying to pry a straight answer from him for the past three pages. I didnât care about anything else.
I was more annoyed that biggzy doesnât have basic reading comprehension, because every one of his posts have been the same content for the past 4 times, without any acknowledgement of what was already said multiple times. Theres a difference between being a troll and being dumb, and biggzy was being both.
It shows that he doesnât know how to read. Please donât be like him. :clown:
Get the fuck outta here. Nothings going to change the fact that this guy is mad shady. Lied about the Japanese players, lied about big pots which he couldnât produce, lied about MLGâŚthe guys a joke.
Is he also going to refund everyones plane tickets?
Someone make a thread for the new tournament and letâs start gaining support!
