chaos Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Got lots of crt tvs. image.jpeg We used CRTs under 20" at the LI tourney. Actually most were under 15". They were perfect. Easy to carry, and no one complained about the size being too small. The big ones are too heavy. Also, we got most of them on Craigslist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smozoma Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I think Halifax is taking a "go big or go home!" approach I've got a 20", weighs 38 lbs, I think that's about the max reasonable size to be carrying around. Those TVs with the actual flat screens weight a TON (the one in the foreground, and I think I see one in the back, grey one?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halifax Posted September 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 The Tvs are all at Bartari., just gotta bring em up from the basement. I have a couple at my house that ill bring as well. I'm trying to see if I can find a few more small ones in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annatar Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hey @BobKudelski looks like flights to Saskatoon are getting cheaper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kudelski Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hey guys I'm at about 20% chance of attending. Cheapest flight I can see from Ottawa is $560. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kudelski Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Aren't the other sask guys like stheds2000 and 90jacket signed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smozoma Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I just booked. Yeah, it was just about $560. Ouch. Playing around in Google flights... These are lowest prices I'm seeing for Friday-Sunday trips, Ottawa->Saskatoon: 1 week out | Sep 9 | $863 2 weeks out | Sep 16 | $758 3 weeks out | Sep 23 | $536 4 weeks out | Sep 30 | $478 5 weeks out | Oct 7 | $478 6 weeks out | Oct 14 | $478 7 weeks out | Oct 21 | $460 8 weeks out | Oct 28 | $460 9 weeks out | Nov 4 | $525 10 weeks out | Nov 11 | $530 So if the pattern holds and is based on weeks-until-flight rather than current bookings, you may be able to save ~$70 by waiting 2-3 weeks.

annatar Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Right now flying back on the Monday is a bit cheaper but obviously that's another day of accomodations and another day off work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halifax Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Aren't the other sask guys like stheds2000 and 90jacket signed up? They haven't signed up yet but I know they will. I have lunch with the90jacket about once a month since he only works a block away from me. We spend 5 minutes dispensing pleasantries, then it's 94 talk for the next 55 minutes. We ask questions like "how can bobk be beaten?" and "Is it all over once annatar books his flight?"...things like that. After 5 beers of depression, we head back to work.

Edge of '94 Midwest Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Go take it Angryjay93! We only utilized 3 larger tvs at the Ko94WI tourney, rest were 14-20 " and worked out pretty well. When you factor you are sitting 3-4 feet away from the screen, the smaller size really isn't an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segathon Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Got lots of crt tvs. image.jpeg That's almost $20 worth of TV's right there. Looks like it's going to be a great event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
