Post subject: | Marmalade Dog Con planning |
I think it is time to get some more input. First, Marmalade Dog is a local gaming convention held at WMU's campus in Kalamazoo. I have run quite a few events there over the years (didn't last year though), and I thought it would be time to have a good SWM showing. It is being held March 28-30 this year, and I am planning on having SWM events all three days. Here is my tentative plans (depending on when they decide the times the cons are actually open ) Fri: Tournament @ 5:00 pm Sat: Hoth Battle @ 11:00 AM Tournament @ 4:00 pm Sun: Tournament @ Noon Things I am looking for: who is willing to come on what days, and what point formats they want the tournaments. I am looking at one of each point level. I am also curious as to which tournament to make the "main" tournament, where I will put most of my effort for prize support. Also, the more interest I get, the more prize support I will be willing to go out an get. Keep in mind, for point formats, I will be taking locals opinions more to heart, but all input will be helpful. Oh, and all tournaments should be DCI legal, unless I screw things up as a Tournament Organizer. I will probably remake this into the official thread once I get things rolling. |

When I saw the title of this thread the first thing I did was check who posted it because I was thinking it was some idiot spammer. How did the convention get a name like that? |

How big of a Con is it? I mean to ask from how far away is it a worthy trip? And more importantly: are there good bars in Kalamazoo? It looks like a $500 trip for flight and room... not too bad. Sithborg wrote: I think it is time to get some more input.

That is quite a name. When I read the thread title Con was not what I thought of. How did it get that name? |

Ok....we're gonna edit that thread title. Too many people getting confused, lol. It does look really odd. Sithbord, if you don't like how I change it, feel free to make it something else. |

The Lafayette, IN crew might show up. We don't play again until after the new year, so I will try to talk it up. |

So info is off to the con organizers. I will be sending my info off to WOTC for support in the next week or so. If I get enough interest, I may be willing to get some more prize support. It looks like it will be: Fri: 100 Sat: 150 Sun: 200 Don't forget, post what you are interested in attending, so I can budget prize support correctly. |
