A message from the host: "Hey everyone I'm Eddie, some of you may remember me from the last tournament. I assisted at the informal Melee tournament we had on July 26th. From here on out we'll be running the events. It was great to see some new and old faces and I hope with your help and passion, we can grow this event. I would love for our small (but growing) community to become stronger with all of you becoming a part of it. I spoke with some of you at length and I really liked the positive attitudes you had, and the ideas you had for other events. I'm all about suggestions and we're all about evolving. By all means feel free to communicate with me. The Miyamoto Cup and myself have been running tournaments since 2006 (Brawl, Capcom fighters, Mortal Kombat, etc.) but this is our first official Melee event...I know, it's ridiculous that it took this long!
So I hope many of you can make it to our tournament. Looking forward to seeing you there. Any questions please contact Smash Cup chairman Eddie (Me, aka "Alpha”) at SmashCup@miyamotocup.com or message me here through Smashboards or PM Alpha on our forums".
