That's so sick, holy ****. @ Achilles1515 are you going to this? :D

 

[NickRiddle]

Is it October yet?

 

[Achilles1515]

That's so sick, holy ****. @ Achilles1515 are you going to this? :D

Not sure at the moment. I would love to

My attendence is on the fence...I'd love to go and it's not too far away, but I'll just have to see if it lines up with my work / girlfriend's schedule. Hard to say at this point.

Just realized this is an odd double-single post....

 

[Juggleguy]

Looks awesome, thanks for making that @ Achilles1515 !

 

[Tomacawk]

20xx melee will have advertisements in the middle of stadium

 

[standardtoaster]

Hope to see you there if you can make it, Achilles.


Room has been booked and flight will be purchased soon. I am 100% confirmed!

Had a blast at Big House 3 and would love to go to this one as well. I'm breaking that top 8 this time though. Having actually read everything this time (BH3 was kind of rushed for me) my only question is about this taken from the UM Smash website

hank you! Each contribution of a full Melee setup (15+ inch TV, GameCube, Melee disc, memory card) or a full Project M setup (15+ inch TV, Wii, Brawl disc, PM v3.02 essentials) will earn you a setup discount on the weekend of the tournament depending on your arrival time: $10 in cash back if you check in on Friday night, or $5 in cash back if you check in on Saturday morning

Is there a reason you need setups friday night? I know $5 isn't a lot to most people, but it is to broke people from Ohio. If it was switched from Friday-Saturday to Saturday-Sunday that makes more sense.

Thanks and hope to see all you there (Go BUCKS)

Good question, it's mostly because it saves a ton of effort on Saturday morning. I encouraged this last year, and ended up setting up about 90% of the venue and equipment on Friday night, man it made such a big difference. So I'm trying to motivate everyone to bring setups on Friday night again, and hopefully an extra $5 can help make that happen.

We had a big Smashfest and MIOM episode on the Friday night before TBH3 and it was fun as hell, there were probably at least 50-60 people there. Definitely planning to do something like that again.

Cool thanks bro, an extra night of friendlies is always worth it. Also, i like that this place has a sports bar. Though Ohio St. vs Maryland/Michigan vs Rutgers won' t be all that exciting.

Dude, I've probably been to like 100+ tournies in my career I can't remember them all. I went to "that one tourney that luggageguy hosted"

 

[Tomacawk]

luggage guy confirmed best smrpg character

If I were to register for this, but then something came up, would it be possible to email someone and remove my registration?

Unfortunately not. We're not doing refunds this year, as people abused that ability in previous years and it became too tedious to manage.

How far is this venue from Ann arbor? Like around the university.

 

[ShinsuYavi]

How far is this venue from Ann arbor? Like around the university.

Looks to be around 30-45 minutes, perhaps up to an hour if heavy traffic.
Shouldn't be too bad a drive, but if you live in Ann Arbor, you'll definitely be sleeping pretty late if you play till the venue closes. Which I intend to do. >

Half an hour!

 

[X- Sylar -X]

Thanks shinsu and rob. I might be taking a non smashing friend and possibly staying with him in Ann arbor 5 mins from the big house. That doesn't look like a bad trip, still will look into other housing options tho.

 

[Naryx]

If anyone in the northern Kentucky/southern Indiana area is looking to go i have room in my car/hotel room ^^

Hopefully you'll get to tour the actual Big House

I finally get to meet you eh

 

[Drexel]

I really want to go and make my tournament debut but I don't have a ride atm.

 

[Todd Bonney]

Would anyone like to buy a black 3DS XL from me at this? [Smash 4 fans!]
Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies and Pushmo installed.
Pokemon Y cart
Great condition. Charger, stylus included. I think I could find the AR cards if you want those, too.

 

[KOkingpin]

I'm coming and Abate and I are teaming in PM.

Weird but meaningful question. Does the venue have big truck parking? I'm thinking about just stopping in Romulus for the weekend rather than driving home to Tennessee.

Call them and find out.

Let's not have a Pittsburgh car break down and have to be rescued by MD again.

 

[Napkin]

Ignore this

I'll be at the bar watching Maryland get dumped on!

 

[two2]

Would anyone be willing to house/split hotel with me? I'm a decent falco/fox and can provide entertainment and I'll even give you $20 to house me or split hotel fee. I'm only 17 so I can't book my own hotel

 

[NickRiddle]

One week until FL's sponsorship tournament for this event.
Going to practice like a mad man to make it here!

 

[Strong Badam]

So sad that I'm not entering singles at this event. :/ Gotta take one for the team.

 

[pluto]

there are no refunds correct? my two friends i registered with are moving and won't be able to make it with me and they were wondering if there's a way to get their money back. if not, no worries!

Correct. Sorry to hear about that.

 

[Nintendude]

So I regged for PM doubles but the guy I was gonna team with decided not to go. Anyone wanna team in PM? Message me privately if interested.

 

[jfever64]

How much will venue fee be after the september 15th venue fee increase?
EDIT: Oh, and does it increase ON september 15th, or AFTER the 15th? Theres a possibility i may be forced to wait until that time to register.

 

[SonuvaBeach]

It increases ON the 15th @ jfever64 to $40. Right now it's $35. Register ASAP

 

[Juggleguy]

^ What he said.

 

[Juggleguy]

Hotel rooms at the venue are almost sold out for the weekend. I got the hotel to add a few more rooms, but there's no guarantee they can keep accommodating us like this. If you haven't made housing plans yet, please do so asap.

http://www.umsmash.com/location/#housing

If you miss out, you can still book a room later under their normal rate (about +$30 more expensive per night) or stay at another hotel within walking distance. But you really don't want to do that.

 

[NickRiddle]

FL's sponsorship tournament is today.
Those who make it here will probably book a hotel early next week.

Wish me luck~ I really wanna go.

@ NickRiddle congrats on earning the spot to fly here!
