I support this idea.

There is nearly a year before CB2017. There is no reason to make any kind of decision in the next few days. So much can change before next May.

Devil's Advocacy: Showcasing the same players from last year or showing combinations of players likely in or from Top 8 is likely less interesting than a good character showcase to outsiders. Exception is if beef is involved since people want storylines over everything.

Here's the thing, if everything is put out via open letter and anyone/everyone can put out an open letter, how do TOs or other organizers differentiate whats popular consensus vs perceived or fabricated consensus? This already happened once just from Kai's sketch poster being viewed as part of a...

Food for thought: Logos, branding, prizing - these are the last things you should be focused on. Infrastructure, partnerships, coverage arrangements, control/management staff, promotional campaign vehicles and objectives - these are all things to do first. If you do this right its going to...

We call those auction tournaments. They are one of my favorite things. What might be hugely entertaining is Old players being auctioned off to unfinished teams of New players in a 3v3. How much would a team pay for SonicFox? For 159? Etc. Would require a lot of front-side work but I could see...

Since its seeming to not be common knowledge, I co-direct CEOtaku and also handle all of its brand and market materials. If this collective puts together something concrete, even 2 weeks before the event, I can make things happen.

Having made these for CEO, from this same supplier, do know that the custom anything gets expensive very quick.

I like the Old vs New and the Draft ideas listed above. I'd just like to see both in a format different than a 10v10.

I would like to see something other than the 10v10. Recycling the exhibition in players, format, or size is very unappealing to me.

Have you considered having a "Skullheart Seal of Quality" and/or "Skullheart Approved" events instead of the tour labeling? To an extent quality assurance is what this proposed event collection is. You could still whip up a nice icon that means such, produce a collection poster for general...

Gonna throw a few anecdotes in here. @Liam et al - I’m not interested in a second bracket at Combo Breaker that likely includes Top 8 competitors from CB’s bracket. I feel that takes away from the tournament and would be akin to Capcom Cup taking place at one of its Premier events. Both the...

Price per game should remain the same. I want more people to play more things. Only exception will be 1 retro tournament that might be going high-stakes entry to make "why not?" reg less likely. No I won't tell you what the game is. I'm going to shop spectator sponsorship to companies. Gaming...

This is one of the cost factors thats is a struggle point. Its also one of the event features I'm determined to keep.

I'm trying to get more late night food options available in the venue. I'm not confident I can get us out of the hotel-food=up-charge lifestyle but its definitely something I'm aware of. Particularly as a staff member that basically only gets to eat at 1 AM.

Inquiry about ticketing costs and expectations (and I'll be a little more open here than elsewhere due to this community always being honest and respectful with me). CB can likely not do a 2017 event at our 2016 price-points and deliver the same quality level. We don't have to jump to $100+...

I see how it is. I mention boot camps, Pat follows up, and I lose my share of the credit. This is vengeance for not scheduling you to cover every minute worth of CB commentary isn't it?

I'm going to argue against monetary rewards for losing tournament entrants. I have philosophical issues with that as it amounts to participation awards - which I think discourage actual competition/rivalry. I wouldn't be against attempting to figure out 0-2 boot camps or something that take...

Pot bonuses are a fun reward for engaged communities and for establishing a higher level of prestige at a tournament. They also have a nice habit of producing additional spectator interest. I have yet to discover one, particularly in less active regions, that magically ensures sizable attendance...

Catching up on this thread and there is only 1 thing worth adding to it currently; Coke is indeed superior to Pepsi. #teamred
