"so GAMME is not happening! Now what?" tourney discussion thread

Manny. A person (idlemind) is going to withdraw his 1,000 bonus he added to one of the tournaments if u don’t make up your mind by today or tomorrow. So what’s your plan?

You can’t advertise something as big as a Japan vs. US 5 on 5 before you officially have the players booked, let alone a month before the event – that’s really disappointing to hear if that was the plan. Because things like this happen very easily. Too much can go wrong or change when they don’t have a plane ticket and itinerary in their hands and a rock-solid confirmation, and it makes everybody look bad

You could use this thread on smashboards to communicate with hungrybox, you should totally help eachother find a venue http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=273853&page=13

Keep talking to plank as well, as he is helping also

You go to Full Sail right. I was trying to start a FGC club a few months back, but I kept getting the runaround talking to these stupid DODA queers. I tried to see if I could get the club to piggyback with the anime club but I didnt get enough support from some of the lazy asses that were supposed to help me. If I could help out some way, lemme know. PM me.

Hey bros, is this the line for the keg?

Yeah, i’ve been keeping up with this and will try to get Pilgrim and Bronx up to speed.

Jebailey, maybe we can put our heads together @ ToT2 and come up with something. Next time I get a chance to talk to the other other ToT TOs, this situation will be priority #1.

All this drama, and the only thing that really shocked me was that Mago is Korean.

He already said its cancelled.

Jebaily, I’m going up there regardless (coming with a couple from Miami) and if you need some 360s to run this let me know.

I’m more than willing to bring the old school… Neo geo: ss2, Garou, Real bout 2, etc… the 3 candy cabs (providing someone can help transport them) for Super Turbo, Alpha 2 and other CPS2 stuff.

OH SHIT THE 2D RENAISSANCE !! EXPECT IT YO!

it be cool but who would really play?

clearly no one in tampa…:shake:

I’m talking to Hungrybox right now. We have a venue that is only big enough for the smash community (we are already stretching it) because we can’t afford the down payment for a bigger, better venue that could also hold the SRK players.

I WANT to have the SRK players with us though, but we just need your guys help. Is there any way anyone could help out on the down payment for a nicer venue? We are trying to get a ballroom at a hotel but we will need more money since venues require money FIRST.

We plan on having around 100 or so smashers, possibly more, with a $20 venue fee. That’s ~2k which is the price we want to pay for the venue as a whole. Plus the SRK guys, that is more than enough money to pay for the venue and reimburse people the money they put in.

If anyone can help with this, please contact me. We will work the best we can with taking care of you guys.

if we can get a rough estimate of how many who are expecting to come… im sure it would help u guys get a venue quicker? i know ToT2 will have atleast 50 people and im sure at least more than half will show…

With the right support, we can make this thing even bigger than what it was going to be.

Me and Plank are brainstorming the tournament, and we might use a certain Fairgrounds w/ 10,000 sq. feet.

But more to come, later!

Please respond to Plank above this post!

Good to be working with SRK!

Hell yea we need to make a “Community Comeback” tourney, I’m sure we’ve got enough people still planning on going down there. This is for the community by the community now, nobody to f**k up.

Like, how many SRK guys do you think would come exactly? If I can get a guarantee of like 50 and a little bit of money for the down payment, I could easily set this up. I already have a venue in mind and know all the logistics/prices, I simply need to know we will be able to cover it.

yeah this is so inspirational!! it may even make empire arcadia come down to! unless they scared of some florida heat or something cause ya know we floridians live in the gunshape state lol.
im not guaranteeing anything but im more than confident 50 at the least with tampa,orlando,miami

Word on top of those who already are flying in… that should be good. I will contact the venue tomorrow as long as I have support from you all! Everyone’s just gotta bring as much of their own stuff as possible since there won’t be any provided. I know on the Smash side we will figure that out. We are used to lugging around our big CRT’s. lol

I will keep anyone updated or feel free to ask me any questions via
PM on here
Aim @ Dream Thieve

I’m gonna make sure my smash guys are taken care of and you guys should come tag along ^^

fairgrounds…? as in “outdoors” ?
