Just thought I'd get this started.
With Brawl coming up, and the European communities getting both bigger and growing closer to each other, there should be a discussion going on regarding the future tournaments that will pretty much set the standards for what we'll be playing the next five years.
With this in mind, I would like to announce that there is a sequel to the Renaissance of Smash series in the works. Therefore, any and all input on the following matter could come in handy. Obviously, this sort of information will be of great help to any and all organizers looking to go big in 08, 09 or later.
I would like to see input from both well known tournament organizers and lesser known players. Everyone's input is appreciated.
Feel free to contribute with different topics that should be discussed, and we'll try and go about them in an orderly fashion (or just all at once, lol).
Subjects worthy of mention being:
# Venues (My main interest here being sleeping arrangements - separate halls, or hotels?)
# Housing (Pre- and post-tourney. A major deal considering rox4 and esa2)
# Tournament formats (RR - one or two rounds, DE, Swiss, bo3, bo5, bo7?)
# Tourney events (What should be emphasized, what extra events should always occur?)
# Rulesets (perhaps a general euro ruleset, which allows for minimal tweaking from host to host)
# Set ups and equipment (CRT vs LCD TV, # of setups, recording equipment, projector screens etc)
# Efficiency (Staff, How to divide different areas of responsibilities, how to make things run smoothly, etc)
# Information for participants (Making sure rules, pools, bracket info etc comes across clearly)
# Event dates (2-4 day events, weekdays or weekends, general holiday dates, etc)
# Costs (What's acceptable for different kinds of events, )
# Prizes (Cash only, or cash + stuff, pot distribution, singles/teams ratio)
# Sponsorship (Brawl = many opportunities for sponsors to invest in tourneys)
Now, considering the above mentioned topics (although any and all input is appreciated), we want to hear what has been good, could've been done better, or what you'd want to see at future events. Go on, give it a shot
Remember, when posting larger pieces of text, try and save the text in another document or ctrl+c it, just in case smashboards is a ***** and goes gay on you!
