I got this idea when talking to amsah on msn. What if european tournaments had a joint video channel where people from around europe could upload their tournament videos?
I can imagine it would make it very easy then for people on both outside and inside europe to follow tournament going on europe and get to know the scene better, then the topic here on smashboards to introduce it would be a good place to discuss these tourneys and players, as tube obviously isn't up to the task and people don't frequent europeans boards or their homeboards outside smashboards, language barriers aside.
Because the brawl community is kinda smallish in europe, we could start with european melee channel first before making a brawl channel. I do think they'd need to be separated in any case, but there could be separate thread on the brawl video discussion.
For channel names, I thought of EuropeanMelee and EuropeanBrawl, or something shorter like EuroSSBM, but those are still up in the air.
Set guidelines would need to be followed in order to make it organized and easy. The password to the channel could be asked via pm or so from the tube account founder and/or manager and needs to remain the same unless problems arise, to avoid problems. Tournaments allowed to be uploaded there should be at least 20 and over player competitive tournaments, tournament matches only (aka no friendlies, even from tourney in question), right game according to channel, singles & teams, with information on title and info box found below:
Title:
- Short tournament name
- Player names and characters withing () *
- Number of the match
- Shortened name of the set (winners finals = WF, winners quarter finals = WQF etc.)
Info box:
- Full tournament name and local/international
- Full name of the set and tourney type
- Player names and characters
- Match number
- Where and when
- Recorder and uploader (and commentator) nicknames
- Amount of entrants for event (non-mandatory, but preferable)
- Links for download (non-mandatory)
- Bracket/AiB links (non-mandatory)
* port in case of ditto match (P1, P2 etc.) and color in team match instead of characters
Example:
Zgetto (fox) vs Makenshi (marth) 1 LQF - TSL4 7-9/8/09
The Super Lion international tournament melee singles losers quarterfinals, Zgetto Fox vs Makenshi Marth match 1. Tournament was held in France, Lyon, 7-9th of August 2009, recorded by ajp_anton and uploaded by Samochan. There were 113 entrants in this event.
Relevant tags could be used, but not mandatory. My recomendation is bulk upload plug-in for these and ctrl + c for copy and ctrl + v for paste.
For past videos and/or videos not uploaded on this channel, there'd be a link section on the bottom of the video thread.
I assume that if people like this idea and it's working, a thread could be made to the video discussion section and sticky it. People could announce tournament videos and give others heads up.
So, any thoughts? :3
