EPTit's not like they're going to buy more televisions and consoles as more people show up. They have a set number of TVs and consoles and games for people to play (if they're even providing any). People should be encouraged to bring their own TV & console if anything

WE NEED MORE THOUGH!!! Should this be a $25 entry? Will $5 off get more registrations? (I would of course refund in cash at the event those who already registered for $30) THIS EVENT IS 100% ON!! There were venue issues, AZN_Lep worked through them for me (one of the guys that runs Winter Game Fest) and we got it all tied up. 100% GO GO GO GO SPECTATOR FEE Issue -- We can not have 50 Smash players show up who pay nothing and use our set ups that we need for tournaments. We have a set # of set ups for SSF4/MvC3/Smash and we need those for the event not for campers to play $0.50 money matches on. Spectator Fee is a NORMAL practice in 99% of console based events. | ||

And yes 30 is a bit high. I think 25 would be better and get more signups imo | ||

GameClucks = Chris/TourneyPlay (in Seattle WA) What needs to happen to get SC2 ppl to this? I have a decision to make on keeping SC2 or dumping it for another game. I would prefer SC2. I need 30-40 SC2 players to make my goal to cover costs. $25? $20? If I drop it and it only results in 5 more people that does not cut it. Also dropping entry means prize pool goes down a lot also. I have to decide on this today... as I am down to the wire. I run a successful local in Seattle every month,the goal of this event was to be something bigger then a local.. thus the higher entry. | ||

I live about an hour and a half away and wouldn't consider going to this. Yet, I'm down to drive 3 hours to events that actually has a lot of people + cheaper sign up fee. | ||

I AM SORRY to all of you who hung in there with me on this. I HATE canceling, but it just does not have the registrations to make it worth any of you showing up. We are possibly changing venues also, to unload some of the Venue Cost Burden, as the Black Ops community which is mostly LA Based is not likely to make a large showing, thus making this event hard to justify. I am still running a Smash Bros and SSF4AE/MvC3 regional event though, so if you are at all into those games, we are still 100% doing that. I am looking for a South OC venue for an event in November/December, in which I want to do SC2 at, since my monthly event in Seattle is successful, I would like to replicate it down in the SoCal area and do something every 2 months, so I am working on a venue for it. Again, I am SORRY for all of the trouble and confusion. Thanks --Chris (GC Guy) | ||
