    Quoted from supercombo:

    I had a blast with ExpoBrawl the last 3 years and I'd LOVE to play again this year, but it's noticeably absent from the show schedule and the promotional email talking up the tournaments that just went out (mentioned above by epthegeek ).
    My drama insight is limited so I could be ENTIRELY wrong, but I think ExpoBrawl was primarily run by some of the Ohio crew who brought a lot of games each year and are no longer attending due to the Expo show drama/split... they fell on the Pacak side of things. Can anyone confirm or correct?

    I'm really surprised ExpoBrawl was popular. I played once and I had no interest in playing again. It took up all morning/early afternoon, so you couldn't go/see anything else and cost $80 per two player team. All you got for $40 each was a cheap shirt and sandwich lunch...then you just got to do a lot of waiting around to play the same games that every other person who paid to get into the show (including yourself) already gets to play for free. If you like the social aspect of it, just walk around and ask people to play 2 player games and save yourself a bunch of time and cash.

    I know the Expo guys are busy since time is quickly running out before the show, so feel free to use this and post it at each entrance. Just cover up the "Magic The Gathering" wording and you are good to go. You're welcome.

    Quoted from gweempose:

    I'm bringing a game to Expo for the free play hall on Thursday. Do I need to provide my own hand truck?

    I've volunteered years past helping unloading games and we had carts to help there.
