Hm, is 6:00 the only time this can start? I have class at 6 every Thursday T_T

I feel like 6:00-11:00 establishes way more time than should be needed for a tournament of (I assume) small size.

 

[Dinguspunch]

I prefer to not be out so late so starting at 6 actually works pretty well for me. If it were to start later I would not be able to attend

 

[ShakeDrizzle]

I probably won't be able to attend many of these, but I'll be there tonight. I'm only a few minutes away from the store so I won't be any more than 20 minutes late.

In Harrisonburg/Staunton area but would be willing to trek to Fburg for melee/project M. I've noticed there's a decent amount of smash 4 played in that area but I've been having a harder time finding melee play. Just for clarification, I see it's listed as every Sunday, is that melee every Sunday? Just because I have no particular interest in the others and don't want to show up to a smash 4 event looking for melee, iirc there's another venue in fburg that rotates through the smash games.

We're actually starting Melee bi-weeklies at the University of Mary Washington, the first one being Sunday at 1:00. I made a thread for it but it's stuck in the moderation queue but it should be accessible through the direct link I link below. I will say though, this area has not had much of a Melee scene and I've been doing my best to foster it (just started a smash club this semester), but I'm not expecting more than 16~ people to show up to this first one, and the skill level isn't that high. We have a great venue for it though, and I'd consider myself a good Melee TO.
