Due to the success of HomeMadeRage, we've decided to host another tourney before The Big House! This is basically two half-day tourneys.

Mason Hall
Room 1427

I can add 64, but you gotta understand that I will not help organize/TO it at all. 64 is just not my area of expertise... I couldn't even answer questions about the 64 ruleset when people asked me at HMR. So I need to be assured that you+Gio can get at least three 64 setups to the venue (last time two setups didn't cut it in terms of time) and that you guys will TO the event completely by yourselves. I'm leaving when Melee finishes, so you'll also need your own laptop with tio on it.

Ugh this is the same day as my friend's birthday :/ If Brawl Singles was the first event I'd for sure show up, but with Brawl being at 6, its looking unlikely :|

Did anyone else interpret the last two posts as:

"I'll get wrecked"

"I can teach you how to get wrecked"
