Why does day affect Brawl more? Because more Brawl players are casuals. We have a massive number of Brawlers in NC who just aren't competitive enough to drive more than an hour for a tournament anyways. Certainly a lot of them would rather go on a Saturday than Sunday.

But... why do we care?

If Melee players are usually dedicated enough to travel larger distances or be more active, why should we relegate them to a less-convenient day?

And as much Melee travels from OOS as Brawl. Especially for bigger tournaments.

Finally, if Brawl has and always will have more entrants, why in the world do you care about making that number bigger? So Brawl takes even LONGER to run? Melee's always been a bit behind on entrants and there's no reason to kill its potential to grow by throwing it on Sunday.

I know, I was pretty hesitant to even post it but I thought might as well say what I already typed.

I'm more just annoyed at Stingers' attitude about it

"I like Brawl more but logically it should be the main event"
"I care about Brawl OOS coming therefore everyone should"
"Any smart tourney host would put Brawl on Saturday"
"Melee's tiny anyways, nobody will mind much if it's on Sunday"

Just all sounds like that.

xD stongers

You really know how to turn things around, boyee.

I'm actually just already mad angry about my parental situation after Omni's so I'm just posting ranty menstrual shiz off the top of my head.

Alex Featheringill you are a prick and all you care about it Brawl and your little tardy OOS players shoved in a smelly bus to come camp with MK and Snake for 28 hours because that's how long Brawl singles will take with this many entrants, maybe if you picked Melee back up like you actually had more than half a ball you wouldn't have to keep bluffing and talking like I'm an infinitely inferior player even though I'm power ranked and you're not and I beat you at B+

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

THANKS DOCTOR GILLIOM I FEEL AWESOME NOW

wow....

In all seriousness though, I actually am willing to consider the switch. I'll talk with Alex about it and we will get back to you all but to be honest I don't see it happening. Thanks for bringing your opinions to us.

I didn't get mad at omni for not having melee at his tournament, stingers. I asked him if I could bring melee and he said sure. If he had said no, I wouldn't have gone. If he had said "Yeah, but no guarantees you'll get to play it because we might need the TV for brawl", I would have had to think about it. But I'd never think of getting mad at him.

You should move to a different region or play a different game.

um... no

Why should he have to move to play the game he likes when he can do what he is doing and try to make it more popular here.
Brawl is already popular here.

Stingers just wants it to be even more of a focus.

Trying to convince an already very talented and experienced TO that their arrangement is wrong with completely biased reasoning is not "trying to make it more popular".

If he wants to do that, he can do what was already suggested: host more tournaments.

After I had stopped trying to develop Brawl+ but saw that others had progressed it to a playable game, I didn't ask any other TO's to try to run it - I started my own tournament series to popularize it. Took a while, but look how that worked?

Sometimes you actually have to get off your back and do some work to get what you want.

To a certain extent I agree but the whole run your own tournaments thing is a little unfair of a request to make considering not all players (especially those that still live at home can do that). The whole "you should move thing" is an even more ridiculous solution. No offense gfog, I have just never liked that argument.

I didn't tell omni he wasn't prioritizing melee enough. that's what the post was about.

Just online lawls, I know that doesn't count for half a cent.

Although that did scare you away from Omni's. ;]

He meant that when he was unhappy about Omni not holding Melee he dealt with the problem himself and didn't question the host or suggest any changes.

I also think he assumed you were getting upset.

I thought you would see the irony/sarcasm. >_>

Clearly GofG was exaggerating to make a point. He's just saying that Stingers needs to do something himself.

And Stingers has already run a tournament. For him, it's not an unfair request. He probably has a far easier time running tournaments than I did/do with my parents.

melee/brawl will run too late was the issue before...but that might have to be done

I'd LIKE brawl to be run first in that case...but that wont happen :x

I like what Seth said.

No PRs for B+ is a good point.

It won't run that late if things get done on time. I'm confident of this.

but if they do melee/brawl+ then we could get wasted right after melee, crash sometime then wake up for brawl.
