A big thing that stopped me coming was the notice bit, can't stress that enough. With that comes hand in hand just making sure you guys get the prep down and communicating it effectively. ie "Here is what you bring, this is the time, this is the place and here is how many people we are expecting for this". Some of the online tournament posts here are quite good templates. I know the expected participants bit can be quite a challenge and if you hold more of these in the future I'm sure you will get better at running them. Really look forward to seeing another one of these soon. Gives some of us baddies a chance to get a game against some of the top SEA players which is a really cool experience (ps USB for the replays). I would hope the more of these you hold the more participants you will get and the better prize pool you can offer making it potentially a little bit more worthwhile for a few extra people to make the trip down to Brisbane for a weekend.
Sorry for the delayed post, thank you, hope to see some more events from you guys soon.
