It was an awesome event for season 3, I hope it`s able to go through again... I know you guys would the problem is I lost 800$ last time and I really can't afford that again. I'm doing my best to still get this to work just don't count on it.
Since there's a number of people willing to chip in (myself included)... Have you considered using a site like kickstarter.com to raise the funds for the event? This way you will have the money raised before the event and those who contribute can feel assured that they'll get their money back if the event doesn't take place.

This sounds like an awesome idea, however you might also gave to consider the people in my kind of situation, where I am broke as all hell until Thursday. Im donating at the event.

I think the issue with covers are the agreement with gom , and even if not it's that you don't want to turn anyone away right?
but he can't be left to hang out to dry money wise.
JBright mprs agreed to donate signifcantly
and if I read it right GumThief says he'll cover any shortfall (am I reading that right GumThief? serious?)

If it's any help I'm willing toss in 50 dollars to help this move forward. Good luck at securing the sponsorship in future.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I'm down for this. If the money seems insufficient, then you can refund the money.
EDIT: In fact, you should probably open it anyway regardless if it happens or not. The community really does owe you and I'm sure they are willing to give back.

Hurray! Fun times!

Wait, how did you lose $800 with about 80 people there? You only got $400 in donations out of 80 people? A lot of cheap TLers in Toronto if the average donation was $5. That's less than a movie ticket for a heck of a lot more entertainment.

chromate is there still a tourney? lol just put me as exhibition if there is vs the winner.
|
sick still on! and the time is a lot earilier too. sweeet
|
Does this event have a paypal account associated with it? If so, I can afford to donate easily twice as much as I would otherwise.

Modified the date of the FB event since people were using last seasons

with or without Day9, that would be epic. Plus they play on stage, so after the winner gets to stare down the loser with a big troll grin

if they both want to do it sure but last time I checked chill was less then enthusiastic and I'm not going to push for it, I'd be more then happy with him coming.
