Venue Info – This will be our first event outside of Bleecker. We are doing it at a local sport bar with a great Menu, good space, and TVs & 1 PS3 already there. The Price basically depends on Turnout and how much you guys spend. So we can keep the Tourney Fee/Venue $5/$5 IF AND ONLY IF everyone on avg spends $10-15 on food or drink, with the other $5 going to cover the leftover cost. If you don’t want to buy food/drink from here, we may be forced to do $10/$10 Tourney and Venue Fee and this may decrease numbers so for now its $5/$5. But the food is great and inexpensive. ONE HUNDRED FLAVOURS OF WINGS!!!

The beauty of this Venue is that they have plenty of TVs to use, plus one projector, plus one system already there. I still think it is in our best interest to bring at least 1-2 Setups just in case. This is what I see so far.

Jeff? PS3 SF/SC??
Amauri? PS3 SC
Davero 360 TV HDR
Flapjak 360 LCD? HDR?/SF4?
Hopefull every 3 is enough the day of. I’m not sure if we will need extension cables for some of the setups, but shouldn’t be a problem. JS is going to take pictures Tuesday and upload them. I’m going to go Thursday or Friday do go over any tidbits with the other directors (JayW/RXS/Russ).
Location is Great, Food and Venue cost is best we can ask for right now, Equipment is a definitely getting a boost. Turnout I believe will always be there.

Obviously not everyone here is guaranteed, some probably just posted for the hell of it. This tourney will also include
-The 5 or so Soul Cal players in SF
- the 5-8 Buffalo players that will likely make it
-the UofT and YorkU players whom the manager said already run tourneys there
-word of mouth, last minute show up players.
So that’s about 40-60 Players easily. You guys know the deal. Post up NOW!!
BIG THANKS TO ERIC FOR TALKING TO THE MANAGER
FOR CHYNA FOR DECIDING FOR EVERYONE TO CHILL THERE AND TAKING THE WELL TIMED SMOKE BREAK
FOR EMILY FOR KEEPING TRACK OF THE TOURNEY STATUS AND WHOSE BROTHER SUGGESTED IT
Hey guys, Glad to see a such a great response.
SETUP
- There are at least 3 Wall Mounted LCD TVs we can use for the tourney. We are not using the entire Venue, only half.
- I'm not sure the technical aspect of the TVs (ie Refresh rate .25-.5 frames), as well the proper way to set up the Systems (Cords should be long enough, sticks should reach, you just have to tilt ur head up a bit, pretty much like Orbit setup) but I will look into it probably Tuesday or Thursday.
- There is a projector which we can possibly hook up to their PS3, and use for all the main matches.
- There should be at least one-two "corner" areas where we can run HDR and SCIV on regular TVs without disrupting the main tourney as well as not disrupting normal service.
FEE
IF we are there from 12-8pm, or 1-10pm or whatever, we are basically expected to pull that much weight in terms of purchasing food/drink. IF each hour FIVE people spend $20, in we are there for 8-9 Hours, thats basically 40-50 People, and roughly 800-1000 in purchases. This is basically our Venue "Cap Fee"....
SO IF YOU COME TO THE TOURNAMENT AND YOU ARE PLANNING TO SPEND 20+ YOU WILL HAVE YOUR VENUE FEE WAIVED!!!!
I'll Repeat
SPEND MORE THAN 20 AT THE VENUE AND YOUR VENUE FEE IS WAIVED!!
We will do this by You paying the $5 first, then show me your bill (yours and not you and your buddies) and I will refund for $5. This way, those who leave early, or only buy a drink, will not mess with the "numbers" expected by the Manager. This should also help increase numbers.
SIGN UPS - Since this isn't our usual venue, and we don't want to over stay the welcome, we'll have the directors (Eric/JayWang/RXS/Nagatz/Russel) Arrive at about 12pm to make sure all venue stuff is taken care of. Then from 12-2PM we do signups and try to start both games AT THE LASTEST 3!! Time is Money people!! And I wont be there to try to enforce time constraints.
I'll talk more about these topics in the days to come.
JayWang - I have the managers Name and Number which I will PM to directors, and the Store number which I will make available.
BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!!!!
