We plan on adding nasb 2 doubles this year 🏌‍♂️

[Cherry 🔜 BOBC8 @Cherrynasb]

Small PlatFighter games should all come together once a year and host their own form of super smash con.

Nasb1/2, Rivals/2, Fraymakers, Rushdev/Icons, Flash Party, Slap City, AFQM, Brawlout etc. pooling the resources and try for like 100-200 entrants would be lit.

@nevereatcars I'd have to ask about what the misc was, but the ammy prizes were just over 30 bucks each, so that wouldn't be it

[AZRivalsOfAether @AZRivals]

SBS wanted to show what even a "small" major like Heat Wave costs, and our financial person was able to put a graph together!

TLDR posted a small profit of $155.21, but that money is going to the company handling the money... so realistically we broke even with pay cuts

[AZRivalsOfAether @AZRivals]

@nevereatcars They wouldve been in medals and trophies, but SBS just ate that cost out of pocket as an impulse buy

[MSB @notMSB]

This week I revived MSBAN, a half-joke event for Rivals 1 that bans all amateur level players.

Almost 40 people showed up, including some of the very best of the game right now. Absolutely insane turnout for a limited entry event, has me super encouraged for the future of R1!

[AZRivalsOfAether @AZRivals]

@disillussions It appears unlikely. We're getting an extra row of tables and the venue is charging us double from last year. The entire play area wouldve cost 2500 per day, which is about 3 times what we ended up paying them for hw8. We don't want to raise our venue fee that high to cover it

[AZRivalsOfAether @AZRivals]

@atWisely Yea! It's why we were able to keep attendee venue fee low and also why we left the last place cause it was very pricey

[AZRivalsOfAether @AZRivals]

@Vietpride218 We arent big enough for convention centers or giant hotel ball rooms, so we're able to use, and often restricted by, venue internet capabilities on a smaller scale
