I'm showing up to this.

I don't want to go to another poorly run tournament. The only 2 major ones I've been to (NCT2 and OC3) have both ****ed up time management badly, and I never made it out of pools as a results.

That's pretty ****ed up. So I do hope that this **** will be good.

Too bad I won't be able to make this unless it was in Norcal. x_x

Oh, by the way, is this the last MLG event for smash this year?

What does that have to do with anything? Just because I haven't run a tournament I'm not allowed to say something about how I think it was run? Bull****.

I'm not alone in what I think. OC3 was moderate at best, the way it was run. It was awesome meeting everyone, though.

The problem with OC3 was probably that a few things were unaccounted for ie. ppl showing up too early, getting police involved, and thus not being able to do much the first day.

But, i suppose, i can't blame the staff for that. The biggest mistake, though, was how long pools took. What the staff should have done was have at least staff to go from pool to pool and make sure they were being played. There were unnecessarily long breaks. Instead of a lunch break, i'm sure they should have cut off virtuallly all friendlies, and did pools. Lunch could be served the remaining ppl.

That would have taken more staff, but imo they really should have gotten more staff members, or at least helpers, people they can rely on to help pools go by smoothly.

I hope TO's would take lessons from stuff like this and know what to prepare for.

Edit: Don't get me wrong, I had a lot of fun at OC3, but at the same time I made some mental notes to what I felt could have been run better.

Yeah Ill agree with that, they could've asked a lot of ppl, and im sure they would've been more than happy to help. If asked i woulda made sure everyone was playing their matches, but they never asked around, and i wasn't gonna do it on my own considering that every tournament i go to i have to run things...i kinda wanted a break.

I wont go in depth but it could have been run better, but that i still had hella fun so it doesn't matter to me XD

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could pick me up from UCLA and take me to this tournament? I'd gladly compensate for gas/time spent.

I wonder if Edrees would possibly consider teaming with me at this event.

That'd be CRAZY.

What's attendance and setups looking like for SCC? I'm interested, maybe more of Az too... I'll see what I can do.

PS: I'm always good for at least one full setup when I go to a tourney.

Don't worry, Hydro Kirby. I know how to run a tournament (see my stickied thread) :).
I also know how to run a tournament, and as a tourney-running professional I will be there to make fun of anything Neal does wrong. Call it mutual respect among tourney-running elite.

Neal knows this, and therefore will be on top of his game.

So good.

ALSO, Neal have Champ to help slow down the tourney to a steady pace too!

slow and steady wins the race =)

mlg doesn't have the registration up yet. We will make an update or notice on the front page when the registration is about to open.

Me and Neal are still planning on the setup of the tournament. For sure we will have teams and singles though.

EDIT: Neal needs to put this video on the first page
