Best Venue?

[Jhxlr8r]

I've been thinking about hosting a Melee tournament sometime within the next two months here around Greeneville Tennessee, the only problem is I don't know what sort of venue to choose.
Any advice or recommendations?
Also, if you see this thread and think you may be able to attend this tournament in April or May please let me know so I can get a collective number.

Shouldn't this be posted in the regional zones thread or something?

It's more asking for advice than giving a location I suppose. But I don't know.
It depends on interpretation I suppose.

Although the poll might want to be on a local level (I'm in NC and don't feel like driving to a neighboring state for a tournament). Anyways, I would recommend going to a place with enough power outlets to support the number of setups you'll have (keep in mind the setup to power outlet ratio doesn't have to be 1:1 if you have power strips).

If it's a smaller tourney, dorm/university space, church fellowship halls, and community centers all work well.
Gymnasiums also work great if it's small to-mid-sized tourney, although they can be lacking in amenities.

The order of importance of amenities is something like this:

1. Outlets
2. Enough room for setups
   
3. Tables and Chairs
4. Bathrooms
5. Internet Access
   
6. Nearby food/gas/other stuff
