Hey so I think @
Zylo
implied he was pooped and would give props/work on the results thread tomorrow, but as one of the other TOs (I was the guy running the brackets 80% of the time, and who was trash and went 2-2 in both main events) I'll just go ahead and thank everyone who came out to the second installment of BiO. Major props to everyone who came from out of town - especially the Birmingham folks who took most of our money and the Huntsville people who made the long trek down to also wreck most of us. Special thanks to everyone who brought a setup (especially for PM - 44 entrants was well above what I had initially expected, and 38 for Melee was nothing to scoff at either). We're trying to work the Tuscaloosa scene back up, obviously, so that's the reason the prize pool was where it was at (IIRC Alex told me he had discussions with Louisiana people about it and they figured $2 was good to build a local scene of newer players and a stable scene can handle the $5-$10).
I've got a few things that I thought - from a TO perspective - went incredibly well, and others that definitely need improved upon, but please feel free to share your thoughts, those of you who went. Again, a big thanks to everyone who did!
EDIT: Oh, and Tuscaloosa is bringing a group of (currently) 5 or so to Huntsville this upcoming weekend, so we'll see you there!
