TAKE THIS SURVEY!

I'm going to use this to help make decisions if necessary.



I was thinking about getting one together.

I'm wondering 2 things:

-Is there interest?

The earliest I could probably get it all together would be Aug 2nd... but since I see that there is something on Aug 1st that's not really ideal. So we would then move it to Sunday August 9th. We want to keep it on a Sunday because then everyone can make use of the free parking, especially since these events seem to take a while.

-What to play?
I'm pretty sure that we'd play Melee do to a greater demand, but Brawl wouldn't be off limits necessarily. We could do two tourneys a brawl and Melee, but they would ideally take place at the same time.

-Equipment...
I would bring two CRT TVs (a 20" and a 10-15"); a Gamecube with SSBM, and some basic power strips and extension cords.

Things we wouldn't have to worry about... the room size, we should be able to get the same room as last time if not a larger room.

Other minor details:
We would take 10% off both the doubles and singles (maybe less depending on how many people show, but 10% max. As it does need to be worth our time and effort).

I could give the RedBull rep a call, but I don't think that they're going to be interested since it would be during intersession at the U.


Thoughts, questions, comments?

okay sure... I'll talk about it with the person who'd be helping me and we'll start looking to get it together. Pushing it back another week or so is no problem. More details then as we get closer then.

I didn't mention it straight out but we'd need some additional setups to make things go smoother.

Sounds like there may be some good interest.

Soz, I looked into it and we've decided to do it. I started looking into room times and it turns out they're closed on Sundays during the summer... (figures). Then every Saturday after the Aug. 8th is reserved for something the U must be hosting. So this means will we all have to pay parking. I will post to location (address) of the cheapest parking lot, which will be a flat-rate lot for the whole day. (like $3.50-$5) I saw the $3.50 today.

So that leaves us with the following dates in Aug. Fri 7th, Sat 8th, Fri 14th. What date would work best for you all?

I would likely still be on my parking contract on the 7th -so I wouldn't have to pay for parking- but I don't really care since $3.50 isn't that bad if you're willing to walk a little.

Once I get a date I'll schedule it, it likely won't be changed, and I'll start posting/e-mailing around to attract more people.

edit:
updated dates.

I'd be interested.

The 8th is my birthday so I might be busy then but all the days work, really.

:D

update:
Right now I'm hoping for Aug 14th. I put in the reservation last Friday, but they haven't gotten back to me yet so everything is still tentative ATM.

I called them today to find out what's going on. The big this that's holding this up, as usual, is the public rights thing... SO the reservation has to be approved by the "event coordinator" and she was gone for a couple weeks and supposedly has a lot of e-mails in her inbox.

I'll keep pushing the reservation through (and it will go eventually), the question is if we'll have to require that everyone bring a copy of SSBM or not.

(Proving that everyone owns a copy proves that we wouldn't be violating copyright laws.)



Other details:
*it would be both a doubles and singles tournament (separate buy-ins)
*60,30,10 Payout


@Moe
what do you mean by "both games"? SSBM & SSBB?

ATM I was planning to only do SSBM. If we did both I'd want to run them both at the same time (for sake time constraints), which I have a feeling isn't going to be popular. So I really think that we're only going to have time to do either SSBM or SSBB.



More details when they are available.

edit: Once everything gets finalized I'll create an event of Facebook, All is Brawl, Smash Boards, and of course the e-mail listserv.
