PostSubject: Crossed Fingers 2 - August 31st 2013   Crossed Fingers 2 - August 31st 2013 EmptyThu Jun 13, 2013 3:33 pm



I know I took a bit longer getting this together than I'd hoped, but it's finally here. Crossed Fingers 2 , the Uk's second championships, 31st August.

You can read more here: http://www.unitefingerboarding.com/2013/06/crossed-fingers-2.html - but I'd like to explain some things in more depth to you guys also:

1- Price increase: Basically, the cost of the venue went up and other things. I could have had it £8 to get in and then only half the prize money, but I think personally I'd rather pay an extra £2 to get in to make the event have soo many more prizes. The prize breakdown is £100 1st place,£50 2nd place, £30 3rd place, and £20 best trick (counted during all rounds of the competition). If I made it £8 to get in, only £100 could be prizes. Either way I'm probably going to loose a tiny bit from holding this event, so don't think this is going to be me making a ton of money. I project the cost to be around £400 to hold it and sort everything!

2- The blurred out bit isn't confirmed yet, but I'm hoping to get my friend who's a DJ to DJ the event, which should be rad. 

3- Not really a point to explain, but to stress: If you want to come, which I really hope you guys do, I advise making travel plans early so you can get it cheap. It's worth having a look now, or this weekend or something. You've got almost three months, don't waste the early advantage.

Either way - I hope to see as many as possible of you guys there, I think it'll be a fantastic time and I'm really looking forward to it.

More news soon happy

I'll try to make this, but I'm not sure I can afford it since Xi isn't driving and the coach is £64 :/
Sounds good though happy

I don't live in the UK, but at some points I do since the fingerboarding scene in Europe is much larger.

Unless I wanted to go overseas I can't... sad

Ahh, I was planning on travelling on the 30th since I can't be arsed being super tired and probably missing the first hour or so of the event.
I'd also need to plan in a day or something to visit my dad for a few hours, since he lives in Bristol too.

Yeah that 17 quid each way from Leeds is impossible for me due to the hours. I have no way to get to Leeds at that time.

I'd like to mention some feedback on one aspect of the last 2 crust fungus events though. Could you put some time slot in the timetable (like around 12-1) for a time advisable to have lunch? The first time, I remember you announcing the main comp starting soon and I decided to wait for the comp. But of course, the comp is three rounds and does take a while. Lack of food made me a little bit ill. At CF420YOLOSWAG, I think people had lunch after the comp too.

Hope I can make it somehow.
