National Championship Equipment, Venue, Logistics, Others

[mikong]

Let's start with the equipment. Do we have enough go board sets or do
we need to buy for the tournament? I remember a lot of us donated
their go stones for the Ateneo event before, so we may not have enough.

I'm willing to lend a board and the stones to the tourney - I also know
a few venues.

[JM]

How about have it as a bring your own stuff tourney, except for the
clocks I guess as only a few have them. Anyway I have one go set.

[benj]

i have 2 go sets and 1 chess clock.

if the draw of the tourney is up to 15 players, we must have 7 go sets
and clocks. (14 1st-round players.)

[mikong]

Erick, is my Go set with you or Celeste?

Benj, won't it be difficult to bring 2 go sets?

JM, bring your own stuff is a good idea. I think some of us don't have
go sets, or perhaps only have the magnetic kind. So I guess let's
request for those who have sets who'll be attending to commit to bring
their set.

Jed, Che, can you bring your sets? May stones pa ba kayo?

JM, you have a tournament clock too right? Can you lend it for the
tournament?

Aerol, which venues do you know? It seems most of the players are near
the north, so QC, Ortigas or even Makati seems appropriate. Magkano
nga pala ung rent nyo sa SM Marikina for the OGM/Balasa event?

[Che Aguilon]

i have 1 go set, 1 extra board, no clock

[JM]

Sure I can bring the clock. How many people are gonna be joining
anyway? Is the 15players an estimate or for sure?

Anyway, those who have a set so far are Mikong, Aerol, JM, Benj (2),
Che, which makes it 6. If Celeste and Jed have a set that's 8. As
for the clocks, we have 3 right?

[mikong]

15 is just an estimate. Yes, we have 3 clocks (from benj, you, me).
Hopefully, the 2 clocks from KABA arrive before the tournament. But
even so, it seems we need more clocks. Those planning on buying clocks
online, now's a great time to buy. hehehe

How about a trophy for the champion? Does anyone know where we can get
a good one? Simple, small ones will do.

Btw, do you guys think it's possible to get a sponsor for our event?
Hmm, it's usually easier for schools to get sponsors, so perhaps we
should ask an org to co-organize this with us. Erick, maybe UP Tomokai
can organize it? hehe Or I'm thinking we could ask Ateneo AMS.

Hmm, given the preparations needed, baka January 30 na to, or even
February.

[benj]

> it seems we need more clocks. Those planning on buying clocks

or we can buy "cheap" chess clocks for now. they are available
locally.

i already saw one in Toby's, Shangri-La worth almost 1,000 pesos.
could others look around in other shops for this type of clock?

> How about a trophy for the champion? Does anyone know where we can get

i saw a stall selling trophies in Mega Mall a year ago.

asking student orgs for help to get sponsors is rather dubious. we
grown-up orgs should be the ones to help them for something, not the
other way around, imo.

for now, we can ask donations from entrants and use that for the
trophy and prize. we can get sponsors later when we have longer time
to solicit and better credentials (i.e. PGA is duly registered org)

but i dunno. baka may kakilala kayong milyonaryong mapagbigay :D

[mikong]

I remember the clock at Toby's is 1500, same with the clock in
National bookstore Katips.

Ok, let's not approach student orgs, there's not enough time. But
maybe we can still approach company sponsors. Even if we don't make it
in time for the tournament, at least we can have contacts for future
tournaments. Perhaps just let them know we exist and we have such
events.

[JM]

php1000 is the cheapest local price I've heard. Are those the analog
ones? Also, saw one in National Bookstore near MRT Taft, I think it
was php1500 and that was like a year ago. Even cheap chess clocks in
Hong Kong come out around php1000 (shipping/taxes not yet included).

A trophy sounds expensive... pwede ba certificate na lang, lol.

Hobbymania in front of LaSalle Taft can handle 16 players and 1200
pesos gets us the whole day though we have to reserve it. Xplay in
Greenhills will hold 24 players at 25 pesos per head, but we have to
leave at around 7 and make sure there are no conflicting tournaments.
There are a few other places but I have to inquire. The OGM/Balasa rent
is handled by Pao and the others. I should note also that I probably
won't be running an L5R event there this January - I'm doing it at XP
for convenience's sake and scheduling reasons.

[Che Aguilon]

ang mahal nung clock :( gusto ko sana bumili pero sana yung may byo yomi na

[JM]

Afaik, cheapest byoyomi clock would be Mikong's, the Excalibur, which
is around php1500 (plus shipping). I got mine at around the same
price but only coz it was an auction, shipping cost was almost
php1000, which was ok considering retail price of the clock would come
out around php4500. Dunno about the chinese/japanese/korean
manufactured clocks though.

[Che Aguilon]

ok bili din ako, thanks!

[JM]

Hobbymania's a nice place for boardgaming, but I feel it's not the
right place for this event. I think at 16 participants the place
would feel crowded and there won't really be room for spectators.
More importantly, I think the event needs to be in a more public place
so that normal people would be able to see the game.

Cheapest place I've seen, but dunno if they handle international
shipping.

http://www.amchesseq.com/chclandti.html

[mikong]

@erick, nice idea on the radio station! I was thinking week before the
event tayo magpost sa Manila Bulletin. So sabay na lng natin hehe

[mikong]

Kung umabot or not, bili pa rin kayo :)

Excalibur is still 1500? I bought mine from ymimports.com, I think for
$29, but it's no longer there, and in other sites like yutopian, it's
$45.

[Che Aguilon]

$45 for a clock?! noooooo!

[JM]

Lol, check the link. Oh and if you feel $45 is expensive for a clock,
check out the Chronos GX.

more info about excalibur clock http://senseis.xmp.net/?ExcaliburClock

[benj]

walang shipping sa pinas ang http://www.amchesseq.com/chclandti.html :-
(

so far pinakamurang shipping na nakita ko ay sa yutopian.com. mga 900
pesos bawat item. International Surface shipping--mukhang matagal ang
dating.

pero ang Excalibur nila ay 2,000 pesos.

sana pumayag ang pinsan ni Celeste na mag-hand-carry mula sa US.

[mikong]

Benj, Che, I emailed that website last night. Eto reply:

"We can ship to the Philippines by priority international mail, but it
is quite expensive. In order to give you a quote we need to know what
you want to order because the freight is determined by the weight of
the product."

She just means it's relatively expensive. But it should be pretty much
the same as ordering books/equipment from the other online sites.

[benj]

thanks mikong for emailing amchesseq.

mukhang dito na tayo makakabili. late Feb pa pala uwi ng pinsan ni
Celeste. ok na siguro kahit 1000+ Php per item ang shipping.

i've emailed them for a quote for 5 Excaliburs. (don't you just love
that brand name. Excalibur!)

[benj]

ordered the 5 Excaliburs. courtesy of JM's freight forwarder.

expect them to arrive in 2 weeks.

[Che Aguilon]

I'll look for a quality but affordable trophy this week.

As for the venue, we need to reserve it soon. JM suggested na public
place, but I worry that's expensive. Hobbymania is down south right? I
think most of our players live north (Celeste, pa-post ng stats if
possible), so I suggest north like QC or middle areas like Ortigas,
Mandaluyong or Makati.

Any other suggestions? I just emailed Paulo how much they pay SM for
the OGM events, and also on the tables and chairs. If you want we can
also check with Megamall just in case it's affordable (but I doubt
it). I'll make calls tomorrow.

My other option is the most convenient one for me, hehe, places near
my house. ADMU, or McDo Katipunan (ung party area hehe, magkano kaya
un. public na at baka mabisita pa tayo ni Burglar or Grimace). Or pde
ring sa Loyola Heights barangay gym, baka mura lng. Kung may malapit
sa areas nyo, feel free to suggest and volunteer to reserve ;).

[benj]

may nahalungkat akong isa pang go clock sa bahay. iyong iniwan ni
martin.

marts, kaynino nga ba 'yon?

[mikong]

Ayos! I was wondering what happened to Martin's clock :)

My boardmate Chry said he passes by a trophy store at Farmer's Plaza
everyday, so I've asked him to check the price.

Paulo said he'll check for any package for a 15-player event in SM
malls, and get back to me soon.

Also ordered Hikaru no Go bookmarks which I'll donate so we have
giveaways to all participants :)

Wow, that's early! We have more than enough hehehe. I think the clocks
from KABA have arrived too, though not sure if they've been claimed
yet. Mr. Izeki have also offered his clock for our tournaments.

Btw, whose clocks are those? Did some buy double or 5 different ppl
actually bought them. Just curious... :)

[Benjamin Oris]

bought the clocks for myself and che. the extras are for whoever else
would like to buy later or donation to PGA

[benj]

naglaro kami kanina ni che sa Seattle's Best. tinest namin ang kanyang
bagong Excalibur game timer. 30 mins. SD ang setting. buti at ngayon
pa lang nasubok na ang timer dahil meron kaming natuklasang kakaiba sa
kanya.

nag-iiba ang display ng minutes kapag bumaba na sa 10 minutes ang
laro. sa una, nasa kanan ng colon ang minutes, gaya nito , 0:30.
"hr:min" ang format. pero 'pag less than 10 minutes, ganito na, 9:59.
"min:sec" na ang format.

nalito kami nung una. akala namin may bug ang timer. feature pala
iyon.

[Che Aguilon]

nakadalawang game kami ni benj, from 4pm to 8pm

tapos umorder kami ng cake, adobo bun, pesto-pasta panini at drinks xD takaw

may lumapit din na british, alam nya yung go pero di marunong maglaro

found this PDF showing rates of U.P. Balay Kalinaw seminar rooms.
http://www.up.edu.ph/~oarmain/images/rates_balaykalinaw.pdf

2006 pa ang rates nito. I'll look for their telephone number to
inquire.

[mikong]

Cool, thanks! If we can get a discount if UP students/teachers would
reserve the place, maybe we can ask from our UP counterparts :)

[Mobius1]

was just reading the messages and I feel sad because I can't even
contribute for the event. Ganito ba talaga pag may asawa na???!!! I
hope not... Its just that my wife is 8months pregnant, which is the
most critical stage... Benj and I were supposed to play Tomorrow
(Sunday) at Greenbelt pero nagspotting yung wife ko at full bedrest
siya ngayon... I need to be by her side as much as I can for the
moment... Pero I'll still participate in the tourney =)

Anyway, my Mother in law has a place in QC circle at kilalang kilala
siya dun... I'll ask her for infos on the chess grounds and maybe we
can rent the place... ganda dun... at public pa... What do you think?
I guess That's all I can help for the moment... hehehe... Bawi na lang
ako sa inyo next time...

[Che Aguilon]

@ mikong flexible naman ang sched ko kaya walang prob. unless may meetings or rush projects.

@ mobius gusto ko rin sana sumama kaso kakagaling ko lang sa sakit at ang gastos pumunta sa makati :)) practice nlng tayo nila benj next weekend?

[Ramon Achilles de Guzman]

Hi all,

Magtatanong-tanong ako on Monday ng updated rates sa
Balay Kalinaw. Meron akong discount kapag nag-rent tayo
dun since UP faculty naman ako (I think mga 5% rin yun).

Ano nga pala ang mga tentative dates? Basta Sundays, ano?
Ilang hours ba ang napro-project natin? Or, whole day affair
(8am to 5pm)? Yun bang 25-50 capacity, ok na ba?

Email nyo rin ako ng iba pang concerns. :-)

Regards,

Kyl

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[mikong]

@kyl Tentative date is on Jan 31, but check Feb 7 as well. We expect
around 15 people, maybe up to 20. I think 25-50 is very big. A room
with 25 max capacity would be perfect, but if that's the smallest,
that's fine. I think we need to rent it for around 5 hours ( if there
are more than 16 participants), or 4 hours if there are less than 16.

@mobius Cge, please check with your mom about QC Circle.

[yc0h]

nung ngrent kami sa balay kalinaw eh 2500 ung first 3 hours., tapos
may additional sa succeeding hours., may discount n un dahil UPstudent
kami.
kung gusto nyo ng mura sa Vinzon's Rooftop nalang., wala pang 500.,

@sir ramon achilles de guzman: saang course po kau teacher??? kukunin
ko kau., hehe

[mikong]

Thanks for the info yc0h! Medyo mahal nga ung 2500 kng first 3 hours
lng. Magkano ung per hour ng succeeding hours? Anyway, other venues in
UP is fine. Anong itsura nung Vinzon's Rooftop? Searched and found
this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBj0s6zBjg4, yan ba yun? What
about tables and chairs? Nice kung less than P500. :)

[yc0h]

pwede bng FAN nalang ung consolation prize??? mgpapatalo n ko., hehe

[Jedi R]

I can lend my board and stones kung kulang pa, although I am not going to participate in the tournament.

[Ramon Achilles de Guzman]

Hello Mikong,

Eto yung nakuha kong updated na rates from Balay Kalinaw.
Since hindi UP activity nor personal event (my bday, anniv, etc)
yung tournament natin, di ko magagamit yung discount ko as
UP faculty :(

Under Commercial Rates nga pala ang mag-a-apply sa atin.
Sa Jan 31 or Feb 7, ang available lang ay ang Seminar Room C and D.

Nakita ko na yung D, parang masyadong maliit (parang classroom for
25 students with 3 rows of chairs). Sa estimate ko kasya siguro ang
8 boards dun pero masikip. I think comfortable sya kung 6 boards lang
ang simultaneously maglalaro.

Yung C naman, mga 2.5 times yung laki dun sa D. So ito tingin ko
comfortable yung space pwede kang umikot-ikot at manood sa
ibang boards :-) May enough space rin siguro para sa mga "guests",
if ever. Meron rin siguro tayong space para sa official's table or dun
sa may dalang laptop para sa pagre-record ng games.

Dun sa mga equipment, pwede naman tayong magpasok basta may
"use of electricity" charge lang per equipment. P10/hr lang naman.
Tingnan nyo na rin yung miscellaenous rates kung sakali.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Kyl

I went to UP earlier today, so when I passed by UP Bahay ng Alumni, I
inquired about renting rooms there. They have 2 rooms

David Consuji Room
40-50 persons w/ chairs and tables
90 persons w/ chairs only

William Valdez Room (54.22 sq m.)
20-25 persons w/ chairs and tables
50 persons w/ chairs only
1st 2hrs - P1200
Succeeding - P300/hr

So it seems the Valdez Room is good for our size. If we're renting for
5 hours, that's P2100. I think that's pretty good. The rate is the
same whether it's for a UP teacher/student or outsider (i.e. no
discounts). The room is available for Jan 31. The facilities include
aircon already, and a sound system with 1 microphone, at no extra
cost. If we extend after 5pm, we need to pay an extra of P80/hr for
janitors.

I also passed by Vinzon's to ask about the Vinzon's rooftop, but I was
informed they only allow UP orgs. I even mentioned we have several UP
students and a UP teacher in our group, but the person in the office
said the org has to be based in UP. If we want Vinzon's Rooftop, we
could tie up with a UP org like Tomokai, but I think that's too late
at this point.

What do you guys think? Is UP Ang Bahay ng Alumni good already? I
think we need to reserve this week.

[Aerol Bibat]

Bahay ng Alumni is good - tama lang - bago para kung may interested,
easy to find.

[Benjamin Oris]

agree. Bahay ng Alumni is good

[benj]

heto nga pala itsura ng Bahay ng Alumni sa labas para sa mga di pa
nakapunta doon.

[mikong]

Ngayon ko lng napansin ung Balay Kalinaw rates na pinost ni Kyl.

What does everyone think? Balay Kalinaw or Ang Bahay ng Alumni? Either
is fine with me.

[Ramon Achilles de Guzman]

Vote ko Ang Bahay ng Alumni. Mas public kasi na lugar yun
(tago kasi ang Balay Kalinaw), baka mas maraming ma-interest
sa Go :)

Mas-accessible nga Ang Bahay ng Alumni, whether from University Ave or
Katipunan Ave. Here's a map for everyone:

http://www.upd.edu.ph/updmap.htm (see 1B and 2B sections)

Tsaka slightly cheaper ang Bahay ng Alumni kng mag-aircon tayo. Yung
ok lng sa Balay Kalinaw e sa description mo, it seems malaki ung room.
hehe

Sige, Bahay ng Alumni (William Valdez room) na tayo :)

[Che Aguilon]

Balay Kalinaw / Seminar Room C
Under Commercial Rate
Capacity: 20-40 Persons
First 3 Hours. 1,460 / 1,760 (w/aircon)
Succeeding Hr. 292 / 352
8am-5pm Rate. 2,920 / 3,520

Bahay ng Alumni / William Valdez Room (54.22 sq m.)

20-25 persons w/ chairs and tables
50 persons w/ chairs only
1st 2hrs - P1200
Succeeding - P300/hr

dun sa bahay kalinaw wala pang kasamang chairs and tables no? napuntahan ko na ata dati yang bahay ng alumni, dyan din kasi ginaganap yung cosplay/comics events pero hindi ko alam yung william valdez room

[Ramon Achilles de Guzman]

I think yung sa Balay Kalinaw, may one or 2 tables lang
(plus corresponding chairs) ata ang free, tapos yung dagdag
may extra charge na.

Ung P750 sana kukunin ko. It's not so big actually, but it looks kinda
nice.

nasa loob ito ng campus ng University of the Philippines, Diliman,
Quezon City. saan ka ba manggaling? may mahahanap ka naman siguro na
map sa google papunta sa U.P.

nag-post si mikong ng map ng campus. i-post ko uli. http://www.upd.edu.ph/updmap.htm

(see 1B and 2B sections)

nag-post din ako dati ng picture ng building.

I've just reserved the William Valdez Room, Ang Bahay ng Alumni for
1-6pm, January 31, 2010. I asked if we can enter the room about 10mins
before 1pm to setup, they said it was ok. Also, if we go past 6pm for
a few minutes, it's also ok as long as we don't go over 30mins
overtime. Also, I didn't pay corkage so no bringing of food in the
venue. Well, at least eat them outside the building if you bring, or
you can buy food in the area.

Gabriel, do you know how to go to UP? If you do, Ang Bahay ng Alumni
is here (click on 2B to zoom in): http://www.upd.edu.ph/updmap.htm

We can assemble at McDo Katipunan around 11:30am, to eat then go to
the venue together. We leave at 12:20pm. We need to be early to make
the most out of our renting the place. Others can go directly to the
venue if they want.

I'll post the official announcement in the main thread.
