first off FINALLY. second of all....the biltmore??? really? thats the only place you could find? lol its the biggest hotel in the state.... start looking now for the next venue so we dont have to pay an entry fee next time please.....
Ill be entering both tourneys btw.
Yes... all the other venues had ridiculous rules for ridiculous prices. HxC does not like charging a door fee but this time its necessary. We like to keep our events in certain areas for our events. Its a reason why some events that are hosted have a good venue but alot of no shows. If you know a place thats better in OKC feel free to send me a PM. If our leasing company will allow us to use the future hxc spot we will use that but so far that is a more then likely a NO GO. See you there Jester. Also is your team bringing a full set up?
I Agree With Timmy, Its so hard to find a place that is "Reasonable" in price and yet large enough to hold everyone. (And Support the Electrical) The Biltmore was my 2nd Choice when I did Plasma Burn. And Should of been My First Choice. It cost just as much (with a discount even) to rent the Mustang Community Center as it would of for the Biltmore. And the Electric as we all know Sucked @ the community Center. The Biltmore is known for doing Trade shows so they show not have any Electrical issues. and Parking should be Plentiful.
Venues are expensive no matter where you rent them at. In order to put more money in the winners pocket you gotta charge to pay for the overhead. else its like donating a ton of cash and volunteering your personal time to do a tournament. I donate my time, and then if i can make back my overhead and break even. Then Great! if not then its going to take that much longer to save up the cash to pay for another venue.
So Until The HxC crew gets their "own" place a venue door fee is almost an absolute must. Unless someone can find a "free" location or a business willing to let us use there facilities for a tournament, then Im sure the HxC guys would seriously look at it. I Know i would. But im sure the HxC guys are closing to getting a Building for the Lan Center.
doing good Timmy (btw we need to meet up sometime so we can get your stuff sorted we discussed)
