Hey guys I’m thinking about hosting a tourney in the Seattle area for MVC2, 3S, and SF2:ST but I have no idea ona location for this! I would love to have a fairly wide open area like a gym or something to do it in but so far no luck. Can anyone suggest a cheap/free place we could do this in?
try in like a mall or something
Renting out a hall maybe or a community center or some sort!
Yeah thats what I was thinking! But I need toknow what community centers or halls there are in Seattle cause a phone book does me jack! and the net is unreliable compared to local knowledge
gameworks in dt seattle
You have options! i mean fuck…i think downtown would be issues…but other than that you can find something out in Kent for cheap…i was going to rent it for my birthday party…
okok I’ll check it out!
Arcade options that I can think of in the area: GameWorks (Seattle), GameTown (Tukwila), South Hill mall (Tacoma?), the HUB (UW), Bullwinkle’s Family Center (worst choice).
Other options: run it at somebody’s place. Need the systems for that, shouldn’t be too hard: DC for Marvel/CVS2, PS2 for 3S, anything else.
Running it a hall/area shouldn’t be too rough, but that may require you to spend money on overhead that you don’t need to. A community center might be willing to lend you the space, but having a friend with some kind of large-ish space would be optimum. =\
I believe at this point that Thomas is working out the details on running a tourney at the HUB. There’s some thoughts running about having a tourney down at GameWorks, but I don’t think anyone has investigated who we need to get permission from in order to do that.
i work at some community centers in seattle and they all basically follow the same pricing scheme which is expensive. like $45/hr for a multipurpose room, $15 booking fee, $250 refundable damage deposit, and if you’re doin it off hours then there’s a $17/hr staffing fee. and getting tvs may be an issue.
Bullwinkle’s is crap…
Game Trax (Puyallup) not ready yet!
Tacoma…Nero’s Bowling Alley
Oly.
Seattle…the Hub would be cool i guess…i was trying to go there one time and saw one really big goth fest…i have no problem with it…random is all…
HUB is good stuff. just got new sticks (they’re not great), but there’s a tv there and we’re bringin dc with mas and bring your own control (byoc). we’re still deciding, but most likely a friday evening.
