I'm going to call SVGL soon to see if I can talk to him about next Saturday; see if I can work something out.
Update: Just got off the phone with Jason, the manager. He said he wasn't displeased (I asked if he was displeased with the tournaments, but he said he wasn't); the main issue was that it gets really busy during the summer since school is out, and having ten to sixteen people fill up parking spaces on a Saturday night for a free tournament isn't ideal for business.
After talking about it to him, he pretty much gave us better days to run tournaments during the summer (general summer months are June through August):
- Monday through Thurdsay: OKAY
- Friday: MAYBE
- Saturday and Sunday: NO
That said, I asked him about the singles tournament this Saturday (the 26th), and although he seemed to be hesitant at first, he said it should be okay to run the tournament after I assured him that it was our last tournament until school starts again. I didn't want to inform him that we might end up switching venues when the console version comes out, but we can address that once the actual console version is released.
So in case there is no confusion:
THE SINGLES TOURNAMENT, SATURDAY THE 26TH, IS STILL SCHEDULED AS PLANNED. IF YOU HAD PLANNED ON ATTENDING THE TOURNAMENT ON THE 26TH, PLEASE COME AND PARTICIPATE BECAUSE THE TOURNAMENT IS STILL SCHEDULED TO HAPPEN. SIGN UPS START AT 5 PM, TOURNAMENT STARTS AT 6 PM.
Going to try to make a flier tonight and hopefully have it posted up on by Monday.
Thoughts? Opinions?
