Oh. Well. More Luigi for me. I only played Pika for the tailspike anyway.

Thanks for the monthly info. Would you have more info on the big things semi annuals or quarterly events. I don't do FB and the tournament I plan to throw will be a large scale annual event with multiple sponsors lined up already.In Baton Rouge there's a biweekly every first and third Sunday. There's a monthly in Metairie on the last (?) Saturday of each month. And the LSU smash club is going to start hosting free entry tournaments w/o prize pools each month as well. Are you on facebook? It might be easier to find the information that way on the Louisiana smash fb group.

Well there's summer con and winter con. But the last winter con in January was kind of a disaster, so nobody wants to go to another one of those events. There are other tournaments that just kinda happen sometimes but there's no set schedule -- Revival of Lafayette and The People's Tournament. The People's Tournament 2 will be happening this summer but I dunno when the next Revival of Lafayette is.Thanks for the monthly info.

Where would this be held?Is there a list of tournaments for the Louisiana area?
I would like host one that is well fleshed out and I don't want to step on anyones toes.
Goals: cheap to enter, fun to play, and a few pinches of salt for a well seasoned event.
50% of proceeds going to local charity, more Nintendo swag, big *** trophies, overall professionally run.
Name: School Yard Smash
Date: hopefully Second Saturday in May(depending on other tourney dates)
Platforms: <PM><Melee><WiiU>
Stream: Yes(with local favorites and guest appearances)
Input: welcome. I will be checking the boards at least once a day for feedback and input
I'll play anything and enjoy all games, but mostly enjoy the 3 you mentioned, so I'll chime in.I want to make a good home for the SMASH community. So input from all three(PM.Melee.WiiU) smash enthusiast would be great (Sorry 64 and brawl maybe next year) . What would you like to see from a tourney? What turned you off in past tournaments? I want to have a tourney that is Fun and Rewarding, One in which you can talk about in a good way...
Why not both. It can be like the NFL where there's an analyst and a color commentator, one describing the action and one making observations.- stream and commentary
~funny or more serious?
I like this idea a lot. That would be a really positive thing overall imo.- potential for venue fee to be waived if you are if you bring a setup
~i don't know about the spectators because they might hog friendly setups, leave trash for others to pick up, and overall fairness to everyone, but if they would volunteer/signup to do a simple task(nothing hard, strenuous, or even time consuming) then I could defiantly allow free entry.
Like Iceman said, both. I personally would love the idea of one serious commenter and one complete jokester commenter and the look on the serious guy's face when the jokester keeps cracking jokes.- stream and commentary
~funny or more serious?
Far enough away that it won't interfere with the space of the tournament games, but close enough so that if someone was playing friendlies in between their tourney matches the TO would be able to get to them with little effort. I would say ideally that they should be off to the side, but in the same room. If it's a relatively small venue, this may change but expect there to be delays in tournament matches as a result of going room to room for people. (not good)- friendlies area
~ would a section away from the main brackets be better or worse?
I like the idea of a person being a dedicated setup monitor. The fluorescent indicator would do nothing to prevent people from stealing unless a person was monitoring the setups. I'm not as worried about console theft as I am about game disc and SD card theft, especially when changing setups for the next game's tournament.-I currently don't bring setups because I don't want my things stolen. If I can be given payment and people keep watch around setups then I wouldn't hesitate to bring a setup.
~a Chucky Cheese program will help us out here.... Florecent indicator on the game console and or monitor and the matching indicator on the responsibleresponsible party of the setup will be the only one allowed to remove that setup.
An annual event sounds great. You'll get a lot more time to plan and a lot more time to make something great for your attendees.This will be an annual event. I will have to charge money to make it worthy of an annual event.(but charging money doesn't mean a ton of money cheap and reasonable)
There a good group of great people putting on monthlies and weeklys LSU / Cove /Metarie that is why I want to start an annual.
Two people monitoring opposite sides of the room would probably be fine. No need to be fancy, as long as they pay attention to the movement around setups they should be fine.-Setup Monitors(I would like more info on best practices)
**I would also like to form a small committee that would help me make a few decisions, PR, and keep all the communities happy or at least try. Just let me know if anyone is interested. **
I would like to chat with you one day if you have an opportunity to do so. I could buy you a cup of coffee and discuss the tournaments' nuances and forming a great one.lsu monthly was run mostly by me and @ Guzzler Guzzler with special guest assistance early by jsalt
the pool leaders were all a huge help though
