in other words if the cooters (me hova omni meep) could stay with you thatd be awesome. although like someone said above, Jubilee in NC is the same weekend and i told people id go to that...... so im gonna have to make a decision sometime

I kinda just took it upon myself to include that one, for the following reasons.
C3 isn't posted yet, and haven't heard anything at all about it. C3 also happens to be in the same area, so I see no reason CH4 souldn't just take it's place. Plus, regardless of whether we've used it b4, it's a quality tournament run by people we can trust. It's also a major, 2-day tournaments should be a priority. Also, it's in september, announcing this now gives people from other places the chance to travel.
I don't see 2 tournaments in one state as a problem. Considering that we're using Esticle and Cataclysm as 2 of the tournaments (caty as the finals) and those are both much farther north than people normally travel. Especially in the case of Caty4. And again with the early announcement more people can go.
The only people I'm going to see complain are the ones who most likely won't have a chance at winning the points championship to begin with. None of the major players in this care one way or another. And if they do, then I can take that into consideration. But as it stands now, I see absolutely no reason to change what I've added today and unless I'm heavily outvoted at some point in the future I don't plan to.

C3 postings usually only go up about 3 weeks in advance. sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.
the next C3 is acutally next weekend if you wanted to throw that in there as another event, but that's really short notice.
will probably have a good idea about the August C3 date after the July one is over

I think everyone is kinda missing the point on this one. I don't really care if you guys don't change it. I'm just saying that Otakon is one of the largest events in the US, for anime and gaming people alike. People like D1 and myself, and some others are going and were planning to go to Otakon and this event just happened on August 9th.
We, and I'm sure everyone else was just really conflicted because Otakon is neither random, nor small. And it only comes once a year. You can say screw it, but that's just the reasoning behind it. And well, I planned my hotel for Otakon 08 a year in advance =P
Now with that said, IMO they'll be more esticles, and I'll plan to come to those.

Nacker is wise, but Crismas has solid reasoning. i mean, it's just gonna suck for those who love Otakon (which a lot of smashers seem to enjoy)
lucky i've only seen like 3 anime series in my entire life. good **** me
edit: maybe this will be the day that i finally play PC in smash. i swear i've been in the same room with this kid over 97 times where we were both smashing on separate tvs.

True, but for me I'll come either way XD but they'll be more ercr events as well. But in the competitive scene I understand how important this is.

Well now I'm kind of pissed because I posted that mm11 was August 9th multiple times in the MM10 topic.
I even posted it in this topic while Cort was deciding the ****ing date and it was up for being changed.

to OWM comments, although I'm not a top player, it's still kinda gay that us further north have to accommodate these trips. It's not just about top players attending, its about the East Coast playing together. Although I'm not positive on the stats, but I would guess that everyone from MA and up aren't even really attending these.
I personally can't go to MD for multiple reasons, and the huge one is the Gas/Money thing. I can't believe that the EAST COAST REGIONAL CIRCUIT is only holding events in THREE (FOUR?! IDK) states. I don't understand how this is an EC thing has a whole when not every state isn't holding at least something.
Just think about how many places are being left out.
Also, why the hell is CH getting 2 tournaments? Not just MD getting 2 events, BUT THE SAME TOURNAMENT? Wtf, seriously? There are plenty of other regularly held events that could be used for the Circuit. It should be one state, one event. Just because top players can go doesn't really mean anything. If they don't care, then it should be run the way I suggested.
In all honestly, I am disappointed with this. I'm just a nobody, but my points are extremely valid, and I know some top players agree and just not saying anything.
I thought this was kinda sorta planned for a while? no? We haven't have a complete schedule this entire time. There is no way anyone can john about this.
OWM, you're the man, but cmon. Like really?
You're considered a top, if not THE tournement host of the EC, and this isn't how it should be.

@memphischains: every tournament in the circuit is supposed to be aiming for 100+ people... i think you need to realize that there can't be a tourney in every state, because not every tourney would get good attendance. the circuit is based on points, so how is it fair for a 50-person MA tourney to count just as much as a 150+ person MD tourney? as far as location goes, from what i can tell there are two MD tournies, one NJ/NY tourney and two new england tourneys part of the circuit. how exactly is that unfair again?

memphis- it really seems like the whole circuit thing was in the works, but everything was finalized and thrown together last minute. if you check out the thread in regionals they where planning on having one tourney in md, va, nj, ct, pa, and mass, but some of those tournies didn't come thru and dates weren't really finalized
ch3 and ch4 are pretty much making the bill because they are generating large interest outside of the circuit. if neither one was a circuit event they would still both have a tremendous turnout so it makes sense to include them from that standpoint as no other EC tourney has come close to matching the attendance
i still understand that multiple tournies being held in the same area is unfair because it's not an issue for me at all to show up to two MD tournies, but it's a huge hike for someone from the Northeast. bottom line is that the whole thing was planned before dates of tournies were finalized and this is the result. no one even knew there would be a CH4 until maybe two weeks ago
it sucks, but what are you gonna do? complaining really won't help much, the tourney is still gonna have an amazing turnout.

Yeah, I could care less about the points, and the circuit in general, but I really wanted be go to most of these because I wanted to be involved. I cold make the places around me down to like CTish, but any further than that is way out of the question. I'm pulling **** out of my *** to go to these things.
Actually, I'm still technically in debt from the first brawl esticle. But, kinda sorta no really. its no big deal but I'm trying to john about my situation.
I agree with chillinguymanperson, but agree to disagree, you have to see the points I'm making about the EC as a whole. Isn't the EC really from Maine to FL? and how many people are coming from every state? At least if everyone had an event, then participation would increase for players from all of the east coast, which is what this really is about. **** the points, We can all really make a list that would be generally close to the real thing.

i'm pretty sure the EC as far as the circuit is concerned = the atlantic north region of SWF, aka VA to maine. and with that in mind, i think the tournaments are distributed pretty fairly

Memphis i entirely agree with what your saying about having 2 of the same tourney series, on the circuit, but as everyone stated
Were looking for turnouts, and this way, were guarnteed it.
Regardless the first year is really to just get the circuit off the ground

If you don't know the dates to any of the other tournies except for the finals then why is it impossible for this esticle date to change?
last mass madness had a 100 people.
which brings me to:
Why the **** isn't a mass madness a ecrc event? If you advertise it as such and devote ALL the space to Brawl it could be >100 people easy.
Agreed but hey who are we.

I ask the same question Cog about MM9, you can even check the thread. Or, at at least said it should be, but I remember OWM's response saying something like they already had a tentative schedule or something.
soooo wait whut, theres barely a schedule at all.
******* and Beer should be an event
I have no idea what goes on in NH
Theres good stuff in RI
I'm just confused at the issue of "having a turnout". That, to me, is the biggest ****ing john I have ever heard. If you slap ECRCE in front of the name then it's going to be a good turn out. The "top players" (wtf at that too, the game isn't even six months old) are going to come either way to get some recognition.
I don't understand the problem. Whatever though, not that I'm actually going to change anything but this is becoming stupid. It's really not that difficult.

I'm just messing around, but honestly, gotta stop all the whining. The reason they wanna do ch4 as another circuit event is because they KNOW it's a quality tournament, and even aside from that it's a two day event - probably the first big brawl 2 day event anywhere.
Suck it up, travel, and prove theres a reason for us to come to you, that's the way i see it. For now what's the sense in MD/VA travelling 14 hours to get the top placings and be eliminated by other MD/VA. We could've done that here.

you've never even been to a maine tournament, the highest attendance we've ever peaked at was 24 people. maybe.
