STAMINA JAWN
https://staminajawn.groovestats.com/
After six years off from live events, in collaboration with quietly-turning and the PGH Dance Game Space, I’m running a new stamina event: Stamina Jawn!
I’ve been holding off since the first Stamina Con due to reasons ranging from Covid happening, format concerns with the proliferation of highly personally tuned private setups detracting from player experience when competing live on stamina content, the escalating cost of renting space for a competition, the increased scope of my work relating to online events, and so on, but I’ve narrowed in on an event concept and location that I think will satisfy my concerns as well as being fun for the community!
WHEN:
May 30th-June 1st 2025
WHERE:
PGH Dance Game Space (address available on Stamina Jawn site after signing up)
Pittsburgh, PA

WHAT:
Stamina Jawn is an opportunity for players to come together in person and do their East Coast Stamina 13.5 sets live (credit to titandude for suggesting this concept originally). Attendance is capped at 90 people, with a maximum of 20 teams.
You can read up on East Coast Stamina 13.5 here:

Singles and Doubles teams on both ITG and Pump are welcome to enter, though sign-ups will be first come first serve.
Depending on the setup you sign up for, you may also be able to bring your own pad if you want!
Each team will get a 5 hour block on the schedule (one hour of pad modding/warming up + 4 hours of Raw Output), and there will be 2.5 hour time slots available for any teams that want to do the full splits as well (one hour of pad modding + 1.5 hours for the full marathon attempt).
Solo teams won’t be allowed to register for a place on the schedule– as much as I encourage people trying the .5 events solo, the point of Stamina Jawn is to bring teams together. However, a limited amount of people will be able to register to hang out/spectate, depending on the number of teams that decide to compete and their composition (having more teams of two rather than teams of three obviously would allow for more non-competitors).
Outside of the core time slots for Raw Output and Marathon attempts, the machines will be free to use for anyone who wants to play, with priority given to players who have marathon splits they want to attempt.
