Ah I see. Is this the first year or has it happened already in the past? I'd be down to put in 1.5-2k if it does appear the interest is widely there.
Don't want to see like only 20 people attending lol.

Miggy is trying to convince valve to add Medals, I am not 100% sure they will come, but its likely there will be medals again.
Ah ok nice. Wasnt quite sure on whether this was a first time thing or not.
Getting medals for this event shouldn't be an issue.
The only hurdle in that I can foresee is being able to come up with a neat medal idea for my medal creator to make.
Have people submit designs to you and go through them. I'm sure someone will have some type of creative idea.
icTusWhen is this even being held?
Mid August
icTusWhen is this even being held?
Mid August
Miami, DoubleTree Hotel & Convention Center
I can't give an exact date until I reserve the venue space, and I can't do that until I get the funds to do so.
But as of right now their August weekends are still open so it's just a matter of us reaching our first goal so I can drive over and reserve the date. If I were to pick though I would go for the weekend of the 13th.
Starting an ad campaign this weekend to spread awareness
Tell your friends, spread the word.

do you have a more specific definition for special guest?
Hey guys,
Just wanted to give a small update; The design process for the medals has started. Also wanted to mention that we passed 1k donations once the hold on a $100 and $15 is lifted. Keep it up and we will have this lan.
If you want to attend the event you may purchase a ticket off the campaign page.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Another small update
Medals are now 100% confirmed
I have an amazingly talented person creating a design for to submit to the awesome RuskeyDoo.
Want to make note, at Valve's request, this will be the official FLan event medal going forward.
Meaning, every year from now on will use this Medal but with an updated name/description.
Will there be a different one for the winners?
The participation medals better be flan like.
icTusWill there be a different one for the winners?
No. It's a single medal for all participants.
The participation medals better be flan like.
I can only describe the design as being "on fleek"
DoctorMiggyIf you have any questions please feel free to ask.
kflaydo you have a more specific definition for special guest?
Special guest? :P
To be announced soon
I have plenty of things I need to line up before I announce that
Should have made note of this earlier, but there are Standard Entry Passes for sale on the page for those who want to attend the event and game, but not participate in the tournament.
Standard Passes are $15, just to reiterate: With this pass you will be allowed to play whatever PUG games folks are doing, just not participate in the TF2 and Smash tournaments.
Also, happy to finally say that the accounting hold that was placed on two donations has been lifted.
We are officially at $1000; We are so close to reaching our first goal, once we hit that mark I'll be able to get a finalized venue date!
My previous Special Guest bailed, looking to find a new one.
I tried asking around but getting people to accept my friend request has been a bit of a pain.
If you're interested in a free trip to Florida for a lan shoot me a PM or add me on steam.
You must meet one of the following two requirements.
Be an Invite player in one of the Top Five current teams.
or
Be a very well known figure in the community.
I'm tweeting about it every day and the link scrolls on my livestream. It's not in my budget this year, but someday will make it down your way just to watch the fun. GO GO GO!
Thank you all, really.
Posting an update later in the day
Small but noteworthy update
It's my pleasure to announce that the Guest of Honor for Florida Lan 2016 will be the one and only
