How was the turnout for this? I was originally planning to come to this Friday's tournament, but if there were more people at Wavedash Wednesday, I'd rather go to that instead.

The turnout is always low for new events. The first 2 Wavedash Wednesdays had a turnout of just 1 person. Now we have big brackets regularly.
I am adding a smash ladder side event to hopefully attract additional players.

Just bought a gamecube and melee, good to know there are tournaments nearby where I live. Perhaps I will stop by within a few weeks

What's the player level over there? I've only had SSBM for about a week and don't wanna feel completely out-leagued

Hello. Newcomer here. What should I do to sign up? I've never entered any tournament for any video game before, so I'm wondering if I could just come to play friendlies instead of participating in tournaments, and possibly learn new things from people.

Just show up and sign up at the venue. You may come for just friendlies.
We won't be hosting a weekly tournament this Friday 9/27/13 as it is the day before our MONTHLY tournament: http://smashboards.com/threads/expo...r-28th-2013-oak-park-il.338100/#post-15842520

Instead this Friday 9/27/13 will be our usual $1 day (everyone pays only $1 for play time from open to close). Still a good day to come by for friendlies and practice.

Oh so I can just come by any day for friendlies? Although, will there just not as many people as there would be during a tournament?

Okay cool! If that's the case I'll definitely come Friday. Just so you know I'm very new to both Melee and PM, so I probably won't be much of a match for you. I may also bring a friend but he isn't very good either.

Okay well since these events require money to attend and I don't have a job yet, I'll probably be going on days where it only costs a dollar to come in. I'm really not trying to be cheap. It's just that I currently have no monetary gains and I don't want to spend my parents' money on tournaments I'll most likely lose. When I feel more confident in my gameplay I may enter your tournaments even if I don't have a job by then.

Also, I know this is a Smash forum but I heard you hold tournaments for UMvC3 on Thursdays. Where can I find info for those tournaments?

Okay thanks! Do Tuesdays and Thursdays not have tournaments? Because I would like to practice with friendlies on a fairly regular basis, and you said times outside of tournaments are only a $1 entry.

The DAY BEFORE OUR MONTHLY TOURNAMENT is $1 venue fee day. Thus $1 venue fee day only happens once a month. Sorry for any confusion.

Haha I've actually only gone to one tournament or any sort of smashfest before, and it was a Wavedash Wednesday a while back. I didn't do all too great so don't worry about skill level

Oh okay. So if I understand you correctly, the price doesn't matter when I go except for monthly tournaments and the day before said tournament.

Just came back from today's meet up and I'd like to say I really enjoyed myself. I've never actually faced anyone who is significantly better than I am. Back when I was playing Brawl I only had my one friend to practice with and we were relatively the same skill level. I would also play online but I would always lag. It was pretty cool to see my ass kicked so hard in the game lol.

I would love to come to the tournament Saturday but I just found out my whole Sunday will be booked for an outing with my family since my brother came home from college after finishing his first quarter, so I want to use Saturday to finish my studies. I plan on coming next Friday though.
