Alright, a lot of you have probably noticed the new stickied yet locked thread called "Results Archive". The idea for this was originally from valoem, who wanted the results posts of nearly every past tournament moved into the Tournament Results room, and then I came up with the idea to consolidate all the main result posts to a single thread. Now, thanks to a list compiled for me by valoem, we have all of the results posts that could be found in that thread, ordered chronologically. What does this mean? A database and history of results since the beginning of competitive smash. The problems? Well, there are a few. First off, the mass-copy method of transferring posts unfortunately removed most of their titles, so it's pretty tough to tell which results go to which tournament. Secondly, having an archive is one thing, but having a navigation for the result posts themselves is entirely another. So, to put this collection to better use, I'm going to try to organize the tournaments in this thread by year and month, so it will show a complete history of the tournaments.
So essentially, that's what we need help with now. We're going to need a few (or better yet, a bunch) of dedicated people willing to go through the archive thread and a) post a link to the post and the correct tournament title (so that I can edit it and fix it), and b) dig up the date(s) of when the tournaments occurred so it can be properly catalogued in this thread. Now, to help you in this, the following post of this thread will contain links to all of the tournaments currently listed in the Archive, so you're not going in blind.
To get the url of a specific post, simply click on the number over the upper-right hand corner of the post, and copy the url from the page that opens. Your posts should be similar to this format:
http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=1705295&postcount=11 - Dutch Tournament 1 - [Month]/[Date]/[Year]
or for the more vB savvy:
Dutch Tournament 1 - [Month]/[Date]/[Year]
So dive right in! The list in the second post contains the urls to all of the threads used. As a general rule of thumb, the threads with a lower number (the last number listed in the url) are from earlier tournaments. That means, the results listed in the archive thread are arranged from the threads with the smallest numbers at the end going up to the larger ones. Also, don't be afraid to post a bunch of links at once... but it helps if you don't dig up info that someone else has already figured out. Also, if you post the number (as they're listed in the following post, from 1-174) of the thread you used to dig up/verify this info, I can edit that info into the bottom portion so people know which has already been finished and which hasn't, and we'll also have a complete working list with links to the original threads!
And finally, as far as current/future results are concerned, just leave a post in this thread in much the same format as I have shown above, except have the url link directly to your results thread, and it will be added to the archives.
