Seriously though thanks for posting. You say small tourney, what numbers you thinking of when you say small? Interestingly enough I bought my copy of SF4 from you guys
got it a day early too 
Thanks for choosing us for SF4 - appreciate it.
Well the private party room has 5 consoles in it and we'd envisage a capacity of 15 ish there. Across the hall in the main area there is another 5 consoles again with capacity for probably another 15 people. So we could host a tourny with 30 players / spectators at a time by using the entire place or have a smaller one with 10-15 persons in the private area. Until we get all the consoles and TV's etc in place it's difficult to say exactly how much capacity we actually have. 0 -

We see the most demand for what we're doing coming from outside of Dublin itself in the larger county towns. If you take a place like Dunboyne it has a large population with very little to do in the town itself. It has a college and two large schools so it's an ideal spot for us to trial it.D4RK ONION wrote: »Tell me, will there be Rock Band instruments?
Will ye be holding your own tournies?
Yep - there will be a selection of peripherals, including a full Rock Band, DJ Hero etc For the adventurous we will also have Tony Hawks Ride.
We will be hosting regular tournaments although again they may not be as big as what you're used to. That said Microsoft are keen on sponsoring competitions and prizes etc so we should have an attractive setup here too. 0 -
That's awesome about both the Peripherals and the location set up. I'll be watching ye closely

The opening hours is something we could look at for future venues. The location in Dunboyne is under an apartment complex and to be fair to our neighbours especially those immediately above us we would not be in a position to open any kind of unsociable hours ( unsociable of course being defined by the neighbours ) 0 -

Pretty impressive setup you got there Pat. Fair play to you lads for all the effort. It sounds pretty good considering your approach.
Personally, I wouldn't mind paying more if the actual place itself is well ventilated and there is a reasonable amount of space to move around. Something I wanted to know though, you mentioned about Microsoft getting involved with sponsorships, would there be something along the same lines with Sony though?0 -

We're certainly open to it and have been in touch with Sony too. Microsoft were very enthusiastic when approached and were in a position and willing to commit to supporting the venue immediately. We're confident of sorting something out with Sony after Christmas.0 -
Our last 3 inferno ranbats have been about 30 people so it sounds like its a good fit. At the moment at XGC, we tend to have casuals every saturday and tourneys every 4-6 weeks. If we supply regular business, would it be possible to sort out some sort of deal? 0

Absolutely as I said in one of the earlier posts we might not be 100% suitable for yous but I think what we will be offering in terms of the comfort and space may well make up for it. What I'd suggest is we have a few of you over shortly after we're up and running to see what you think and what can be done for you. After that we can see how we're fixed for a regular gathering spot. 0 -

Just to let you know we opened the venue in Dunboyne today, we're open tomorrow and thursday from 12-6 and it's free to play if anyone is local and wanted to come and check it out.
If you want to sort out amongst yourselves a date to come in as a group in January as we discussed and let me know I can arrange to book it out for you.
Hope to see you all soon 0 -
