Will there be seating issues at Game On again?
Last time I literally bussed 2 hours to get turned away.

Last event at Game On, seating was set for 70 players, only 68 players attended. Seating again will be set for 70 players, I strongly suggest you arrive early to get a seat. Store is only capable of holding 70 players. Check this website for any further info regarding event details.
:lol:
Maybe it was a couple events ago, I just remember bussing to the mall and being told the manager/owner being hesitant to allow more seating due to theft but clearly had plenty of room, players being upset due to no cap but being turned away as well.
I'll show up I just hope its not going to turn into the same event all over again
You must remember we (Pokemon players) are strickly quests at these smaller events. The store owners/managers have the ultimate say and final word as to what takes place in their stores. They can set a player cap, cancel events, and ban certain people from entering thier stores. If we were paying the owners for space and use of thier tables and chairs for a set number of players and they failed to meet our requirements; then we would have issues. The number of stores wishing to hold these Free events has dwindle greatly the past few years,this is mainly due to the recession and many stores have closed.
Game On use to be Uncle's Games which closed due to poor sales. Initially Game On did not wish to hold any form of tournament play. They only agreed if I, the organizer, set a palyer cap. Thier store has recently been rearranged and we hoping to squeeze in 70 players like last time, but no quarantees.
The earlier you arrive, the better chance you will have a seat.
Verry true. People have to remember that theese businesses rely on sales to keep afloat. IF they are so full to the brim with players that shoppers can not come and and get what they came in for, then they will loose sales. I feel that 70 players is a very generous number that the store owner is willing to have in his location.
Memorial day we had 60 players at Phonix games, We were pretty much at full capacity. I do not knowwhat we would have done had more players shown up.
And at our other Tournement location of Comic Stop, it is doubtfull that we could ever fit in more then 40 players for a tourement. So if you come and it full it is not the store woners fault there is only so much room that he can spare and still operate his business.
Shane's had over 30 masters (36?). 6 swiss rounds.
Final standings were:
1) Kennan M w/ Eelektrik/Lightning attackers/Terrrakion/Mewtwo
2) Tyler N (6-0 swiss) w/ Darkrai-EX/Tornadus-EX/Mewtwo-EX/Shaymin/Smeargle/Potion
I don't remember what order 3rd and 4th were in but it consisted of CTM and Klinklang.
I know Allen got 2nd in Seniors but that's all I know as far as the younger age divisions.
