Smash Ace
Short story: A few of us plan to drive down through Canada to major summer tournaments and we'd greatly appreciate any offers for a place to stop for the night at a few given locations. We're planning on leaving sometime very early next month (1st-6th).
Since the above gives tells you what's going on, if you don't care to read a longer intro you can skip the part enclosed by underscores.

Long story:
A few of us from Alaska(4 max, most likely 3) are planning on making a road trip down to FCN, then down to OC3(major tournaments happening this summer, if you are unacquainted). Of course, the destinations aren't the entire purpose of the journey, and so we'd like to ask if there's anyone willing to offer us a place to stay as we move down from our state.
We could always just stay in hotels or sleep in the car, but in addition to hotels costing money and the uncomfortable factor of the car, it would deprive us of smash time that we might be able to get if someone's willing to let us rest at their place for a night. As long as we're going to be stopping and resting, we figure we'd might as well try to get some friendly smash in while doing so with whoever's available =)
I have stayed with many people out of state during my smash career and have never had any complaints or problems; I will be respectful, courteous, quiet if necessary, and not ask for much more than a bathroom and a(hopefully clean) floor to sleep on. As my house is the central place for all AK competitive smash, I can vouch for the respectfulness of the others as well.
___________________________
We'll be driving, so we shouldn't need to be picked up or need food(since we can drive around to shop for ourselves). Basically, the plan would be that we would stop by, play smash, sleep, then maybe some more smash and then take off the next day. We'd probably arrive with food of our own, although any donations would of course be appreciated
Here's a list of places we'll be stopping at on the way down to the tournaments, if you are in or very near one of these locations and are down for some friendly outside comp for a night, please post:
Yukon Territories
Alberta
Saskatchewan
Manitoba
And here's a list of the places on the way up:
B.C.
So, please post if you can help.
Oh, and last but not least... any important advice about Canada or our route through it would be appreciated, of course(like dangerous locations and such that we might want to avoid).
If you need any info at all in order to make a decision on this, just post or PM me and I will provide it if I can.
EDIT: I suppose I should mention that all the people currently planning on going are all above 18(I am 20, the oldest).
EDIT2: Here is a short combo video from us. As it says in the description, it's not made to show we are perfect or to brag or something, just to maybe show that it'd be worth your time to have us over in regards to smash competition.
