Good looks. Me and Krox will try and head up to these more frequently (mainly for the Melee ones, but I would be down to go to a couple PM ones every once in a while as well). I'll try and get Shake to show his face as well.

Haha ok, looking good so far. I thought of the idea for FftF weeklies, but I'd like to keep these tournaments more organized too. We need to start keeping better track of results & posting them. Then we can upload them to the rankings as well. Once we get some livestreaming/recording going, we can work on getting a bit more exposure. I know the Morgantown people would be down to travel sometime, and with the Ohio folks, we could easily get 20 or so people. I mean, we got 16 entrants last week without you/me/Ohio.

Also, I'm going to edit my first post in this thread so it doesn't sketch people out XD

Hey! I'm so surprised that there is a melee tournaments in West Virginia, let alone Project M. I'm going to do my best to show up and bring some friends.

Oh yeah, I don't know if it was clarified, but these tournaments alternate between PM and Melee each week. So this Friday it's Melee, next Friday it's PM, etc..

I wonder if we should ever try and hold both at once...

^ Not hard to do. Just need a good number of setups and a strict schedule.

Sounds like a lot of fun. I only started getting into the mechanics of Melee through P:M, so it should be interesting. I found two others to come with me.

Yeah for sure. We'll have to plan it at least a month in advance so that people can make sure to schedule off and whatnot. We'll also need to avoid big EC tournaments. I want to see KY/OH/Pitt players at the very least. Also all the Morgantown & northern WV homies.

so prizes aren't percentage based?
Ummmm let me check with the TO and I'll get back to you. I don't know them off the top of my head, but they are percentage based. It's just that when we have a decent turnout we give away a few free prizes to Top 3, such as little collectible figures, etc.

Excellent. This week is looking like a real solid showing. Can't wait to get some recording (and maybe commentary?!) going. WV is probably the #1 prospect as far as regions go.

Yes, PM is next Friday. We had 18 entrants for Melee just last night, and I think PM (on average) is approximately the same. Lately Melee has been pulling more entrants, but I think the scenes are pretty much the same size so it kind of depends on who all is able to show for any given week.

And for anyone interested, the results for last night: http://challonge.com/July18AFKMelee

Swag, I'll try to bring a car load. Excuse me for being lazy and being on the road, but is this tournament just a straight to bracket dbl elim? And do you have any best of 5 sets towards the end?

Ok awesome, hope to see you there. And yeah it's just a straight double elimination bracket. WF, LF, and GF are all best of 5.

Gonna try and make it down for this week! My car seems to be falling apart, but I have faith it will survive the journey to Cross Lanes. Just warning you now that I am about as useful as an old sock when it comes to PM.

So it turns out we're running Melee AND PM this week. Melee starts at 5pm and PM at 7:30 (as it was before). Hope to see everyone out there!

Ok, I think a few people are gonna be a little late so you should be fine. This is a smash tournament, of course, so nothing ever runs on time.
