[BC] Looking To Establish a Vancouver Island Smash Scene

[Nover]

Due to the interest in a mid Island smash from the smashboards thread I've been looking into a number of venues in the Comox Valley. I've got 3 or 4 plausible places 3 of which have full kitchens and one has a fair number of places to grab something to eat nearby.

The biggest place would run me about 100$ to rent for the whole day. I don't mind covering part of it but the downside is the entrance fee might be a little higher. The other places I'm still negotiating prices with.

With enough people coming from around the island I really doubt venue cost would be an issue but I'd rather not sink 100$ into renting it and then have to pay the majority out of my pocket.

I know in the past our recreation center has cut people deals for running weekly/biweekly event so if you guys in were into it we could get our own little tourney scene running. I'm willing to volunteer to be a/the TO but if I could have one or two from other groups on the island (e.g. Duncan/Campbell River) to ease coordination I think things could go much smoother.

Once I get more word on pricing I'd like to start looking into places with some cheap CRTs that we could hopefully store at the location itself.

Nice man. We at spL would help cover the cost too

If you get 10 people, you're covered, if you get more, toss it in the pot (or take a cut, stack that **** up yo)

Hi, I don't know if anyone here might know about it, but there is a tournament coming up in Campbell River this weekend. Last time we had pretty good numbers considering we're on the island. It's a bit short notice, but hopefully some of you guys can make it if you see this.
Here's the fb page for the tournament: https://www.facebook.com/events/782687691751782/

 

[Ringedge]

I saw that tournament, but the problem still stands, I need a ride... Anyone on here from the Duncan/ Victoria area want to hook me up?? Pretty please <3

Hi guys, I'm thinking of putting together a small tourney at the VIU Nanaimo campus in September. I know that Nanaimo is a bit far for some of you guys, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in coming down (or up) for it.

 

[Ringedge]

I would be willing to come from Duncan and probably the rest of my crew, so thats 4-5 people!

Duncan scene is used to commuting for tournaments, so we would probably be there.

 

[TopKek.GG]

It would be cool to meet and smash with you guys. Would you guys be able to bring setups at all?

Trying to get an idea for what I would need etc.

 

[Ringedge]

We could most likely bring 3 or more, depending on how many rides we have going up there and how many setups you need.

 

[TopKek.GG]

Alright cool. Going into planning stage. Will keep you guys posted here. Thanks for the interest.

 

[Jamie Williams]

We have 6-10 smashers here at the Strathcona Park Lodge that would come. Sooner we know the date the better.

Cheeers mannnn

So far thats the smallest travel distance for me.

 

[TopKek.GG]

Wow. I think the mid-island scene is bigger than we thought.

As for the game of choice would you guys prefer melee or PM? I would love to run both but in case only one is possible which one would you guys rather play?

 

[Ringedge]

Duncan prefers Melee, we don't really play PM besides at tournaments, and we have a Facebook group for North Island (AKA anything that isn't Vic) https://www.facebook.com/groups/602316896500737/ Everyone should join this group here!

 

[S K]

Melee - Duncan. My new car has 2 more seats!

 

[S K]

Any Duncan smashers left.

 

[Ringedge]

Me and GOLF are the only ones left in town, there is a guy out in the properties named Ian that plays, as well as Edgeluca from Vic is living in Cobble Hill for the next few months. If you are willing to house I can come over whenever this week, and we may have a fest some time this week, goin the North Island Smash page if you want to contact everyone, although it is somewhat inactive, I would like that to change! https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=602316896500737

 

[Ringedge]

So, is anyone in here still wanting to get tournaments going in more mid-island locations? If someone can get a venue I can run the tournament, as well as bring a live stream. More Smash is always welcome!

 

[TopKek.GG]

i was trying to set up a tournament in Nanaimo, but the venue and support network i had fell through...

 

[proto235]

Sup, Nanaimo player here, me and my 3 friends play smash frequently, primarily project M. We are all in high school, grades 11/12. I can't speak for them, but they would probably be down to play if anyone wants to.

 

[Ringedge]

If you guys are 11/12 one of you must be able to drive right? You should come to Victoria for the tournament in a week and a bit!

i was thinking about making a trip down to Vic for the monthly actually. i would probably get wrecked, but would love to meet more smashers

 

[proto235]

Me and the other grade 12 are fine with it, though I am not 100% sure about the 11s. In any case we could definitely set something up if your friends are down to play :D. Just out of curiosity do you guys prefer melee or PM?

Yeah that would be fun, though it is a fairly long drive and all I'll see if anyone is up for it. How many players do you get typically?

 

[Ringedge]

We get about 20-30 people typically, everyone is very friendly and awesome too! Especially the TO Michael, he is the greatest person ever Here is the page if you want to know more, it will be fun! https://www.facebook.com/events/597084413750317/

I play both, my other buddy likes PM mainly.

 

[proto235]

We are mostly PM players, with a little bit of melee on the side.

I sent in a join request a while ago but I don't think I've been accepted, I still want a Duncan scene!

Thats not so far from nanaimo it wouldnt be hard to make one scene out of the two. Are there many smashers there?

There was a tournament just last Saturday in CR I was at, there is a North Island scene for sure. South Island has a scene mostly based in Victoria, with GOLF moving from Duncan to Victoria in February, I will be the lone wolf down here for the most part. PM me if you want to try and organize a smashfest sometimes. Also I am TOing a tournament this weekend if anyone wants to come down and meet everyone, I believe most of CR is coming down as well as all of Victoria plus me and GOLF from Duncan.

 

[TopKek.GG]

I'm gonna try to make it to Victoria this weekend. Not sure if I will be able to. D:

Where are you hosting?

 

[Ringedge]

I thought I had linked it in the post but I didn't sorry! Here is the event page https://www.facebook.com/events/756173284461192/

 

[Ringedge]

So I, along with input and help from others, made a P.R. for the island. Here it is!
