Welcome, welcome! This is my first time holding a tournament that isn't at my house or a friend's house! Woohoo........ :"}

Sorry if all this information seems very familiar. You see, that is because I borrowed it from the ESTICLE thread. :X

Anywho.......

Information

Reapers Game I - A Brawl and Melee Tournament Hosted by Zechs and Cat Fight(YAY!)

The tournament shall be held at Barron's Comic Book store in Milford, CT.

Look for the May Kay Center sign. Across from Barron's is a stretch plaza with Bob's Clothing and Stop and Shop. It's pretty noticeable. Right next to Barron's is a very unhealthy place to eat. More than likely there will be motorcycles or very old fashioned cars parked outside. *Shrug*

Address:
174 Cherry Street
Milford, CT

Entry fee:
Both tourneys are $8

Prizes:
1st - 60%
2nd - 30%
3rd - 10%

Registration will be at 12:00pm (when it opens). The tourney itself will most likely not start until 1:30pm, so make sure you are there in time! You never know, there might be delays, but don't count on it.

immediate forfeit of the match.

Tactics such as Jiggly's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or
to manuever around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively
stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath,
is banned. Judges will be on the tournament floor can be called in at any time to
enforce this rule during a match.

You are responsible to bring your own controller. Any controller is suitable
for this tournament (wii mote/nun chuck/classic), just make sure people around

Theres a good chance I might make it to this. Sunday is usually a lazy day, I just need to make sure I have nothing more important (as if thats possible). Is there a venue fee?

If people coming could bring their Wii setups that would be great. ^___^

I hope no one minds that the TVs are not all the same model. It's kind of a DIY tournament so Zechs and I are bringing everything ourselves, heh.

no brawl teams = fail
maybe ill attend
who konws
WELL I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION, JAKE!

:{{{{{{{{

I don't want people not to come because I'm not having Brawl teams. I thought having Melee would appeal to a larger group of people...

Brawl and Melee singles tourney, yes. The Melee singles will be before the Brawl singles, just FYI.

Keep an eye on the thread because I might be updating the time info by tonight. I gotta go into Barron's with Zechs to talk to Andy about the earliest we can get in his store to make sure the tourney can begin on time. ^___^

My 2v2 partner isn't coming anyways. ;P

Hey CatFight, sorry but I won't be able to make it to this today. I really wanted to since it's mad close and will probably be a lot of fun. I just have too much work to do, and only a few days to do it. Finals > my smash plans :(

We will take both normal first names and a smashboards or online alias during RGII. That will make it easier for me to personally remember everyone.

A small video of a match.

Overall, I would say RGI went well for a small, Do it yourself tourny. It was a great learning experiance, RGII will improve on today. If anyone has comments or suggestions, please share them here. I will make up the mailing list from all the emails I collected and send reminders of upcoming events. If you did not attend but would like your name on the list, please email me at Kyubii@gmail.com

Link to the video is up. And to anyone I faced, sorry I sucked so bad. I have a difficult time with fast paced games and it will take some practice to play at the level of some of you.
