Smash GIGANTIA - A Vienna Tournament

[Blubby]

Smash Gigantia​

After searching for a good location for our monthly smashfests, we stumbled across a big LAN-Event with over 300 people in Vienna. The whole thing takes place in a school.

After a few mails and talking a bit, we came to the conclusion that we can join this LAN-Party and host a tournament there.

Hereby we present a Smash-Tournament in Vienna: "Smash Gigantia"
(Just for the record: The name "Gigantia" is the name of the main event)

Original (German) Thread: http://forum.germansmash.de/thread.php?threadid=9704

Date

To be announced, but likely to be Autumn 2010. 100% in the holidays.

Place

1230 Vienna (Wien)
Anton-Krieger-Gasse 25

A school, free parking lots

Events:

• Melee Singles
• Melee Teams
• Brawl Singles/Teams (Sideevent)

Because Onishiba decided to host a Melee event, I decided to make a Brawl event. It depends on what the people prefer more - Singles or Doubles. Theoretically, both events are possible, but would be smaller. We'll see. The less Melee players register, the more Brawl will expand to being the main event at our tournament (no threat, just a note that this tournament is meant to be a Melee tournament, and if Brawl is possible it will take place).

Equipment

We'll try to get each and every TV we can get and offer them to you, however, it's up to you to bring even more, and especially important:

WE NEED CONSOLES!

Without equipment no tournament. We probably won't get around to rent TV sets, but we want to have to avoid that as much as possible.

General Infiromation

There will be around 100 attendees possible for the tournament. We most likely will reserve around 60 places for players from the German-speaking region, although chances are that we won't reach this limit. The other places will be free to book for participants from other countries.

Course of action will be different than usual, because we're, so to say, "sublessees", at the main event. So in regards to registrations we'll have to adapt to their system. However, there's no details available yet, we'll give you more details after talking with the hosts of the main event.

Important

There's absolute prohibition of alcohol and smoking in the venue.

Catering

Here we also will arrange ourselves to the main hoster. However, we have an advantage here: The host will probably cooperate with a pizzeria and is sponsored by Red Bull. We'll see how it will work out. There's a sleeping area we will share with the LAN-visitors, and sanitation is available, as well.

Procedure

Housing

Price

Here we will have to negotiate with the main hoster. Estimated, we'll have around 15€, this money will be needed for energy/sanitations/cleaning. Vienna has horrendous bureaucratic fees, so we don't know if that'll influence the price as well.

Bringing TVs will be rewarded with a discount in the price - the more TVs, the less you have to pay.

Pot is to be discussed.

Equipment

A stage
Microphones (to announce who has to play on which TV)
Beamer (Bracket and Finals will be streamed)

It's not a problem related to saving money & stuff, it's just about traveling alone and having less fun then I would have with my crewmates ^^

But I'll try to make them come there

[Blubby]

Well get'em to the tourney, don't forget: this will get HUGE!

 

[Blubby]

bump.

need more interested people, between the 1st-4th i'll take a look on the venue and will probably book it.

then i'll have a date.

but still, i should have 50 interested people.

 

[Fuzzyness]

interested

 

[porc]

I would love to do a little trip to Vienna :o

I hope it'll be in holidays at the moment

 

[Blubby]

nearly 50 interested.

but still need more international hype.

 

[Blubby]

Time for a little Bump.

On the 4th/5th January there'll be a huge update about prices etc.

Stay tuned!

 

[Blubby]

The Location is confirmed.

15€/person is pretty sure, we'll have a lot of technical support.

Your Controller is going to be marked, as well they don't want to see visitors suddenly bring their own Controller and suddenly play. But it's only a Paper/Plastic thing on the cable, which can be removed easily after the Tournament.

Well dunno if it's nessecary here: but still, we need TVs. Please don't forget that.

IN the venue there's a catering service, pretty cool. But it's no problem to visit a supermarket ("Billa" in Austria) or other restaurants, you can also get chinese food, pizza and schnitzel (we'll order it for you)

Internet access is no problem, maybe you can use a computer there (maybe) and you can get WLAN access with your mobilephones/ipods whatever.

Last but not least:

There'll maybe be a guy who can install you a modchip, but you have to pay in advance, i don't know yet the price/modchips that are going to be available.

ok sorry im really really tired, so i hope you'll understand everything i wrote cause i can't really check it right now.

get interested get hyped.

 

[porc]

no information on the date ?

 

[Blubby]

nope, it's a school, so we've to wait till they announce which days are holidays in autumn.



E: could you maybe post it on the french melee forum?

very less people are interested atm =/

 

[Wii Lee]

I'm very interested :o
(French guy here )

 

[Shloub]

Interested and French too =p

 

[Blubby]

[Wii Lee]

Do you have news for the date ?

 

[Blubby]

Still checking my e-mails every day, nothing new right now :/
