[Tank]

Hey guys! well V12 is now over!

Since one of the main goals of the Respawn team is to continue to run fantastic events, feel free to post any comments, issues, critism, etc in this thread!

What would be awesome if you could firstly say which area you are adressing (power, network, food, comps, theming, other (or whatever), as that will make it easier for the respective admin's etc reply and also help us when we meet up to discuss things!

Please keep this thread orderly, no silly spam posts (which will be removed).

Thanks!

pretty fun event

only issue was the prize money was fairly low for the $13,500 from entry fee's, out of that you offered only $1,000 back into prize money. Should be alot higher unless hiring that hall costs 5K or somthing which i doubt it does. And with CoD4 having 18 teams with a 1st prize of only $250 is extremtly low if it was an individual event for cod4 only 1st prize would have exceeded $1000 easily none the less i enjoyed the event hopefully there are some better prizes! ;D and also check out the prizes from this event which has less people then repsawn

Hi,

On the topic of prize money, we can't throw it all away to you guys! We need money to grow our event. We've had to purchase gear, hire tables, pay for the venue and other incidentals. No admin pockets a single cent from these events and we pour our heart and soul into these events as we have a passion for the events and the community. Yes, we do come out marginally ahead but this money goes straight back into the event and to bigger and better things.

Due to the outstanding support of our community and the turn-out from last event, we are now drawing interest from potential sponsors and other projects which will ultimately benefit you, the gamer. We now have the numbers to say "here you go!". Mind you, Respawn is mostly word-of-mouth - while we do try to push the event, we haven't been doing that lately - so we have no doubt and full confidence that we can achieve a 1000 player event on a regular basis, for example. But we really like it if everyone else takes it upon themselves to get the word out. We're all in this together!

Redact - I've worked with Jeff's shed before and have found it unsuitable for such an event. While the venue and power are good, getting 24hr access, parking, security and regulatory concerns are an issue.

Personally I'd happily pay $30 - even more - to attend a Respawn and not have to run it for once
