In all reality, the scene is in Fburg is SSF4, and SSBB is taking the backseat to it. No one really cares about going to Fburg for smash tourneys because they aren't respected as well as SSF4. I'm not gonna go in depth to this, but I'll be here. I hope most of y'all can make it. I'll try to house people if they can ask me ahead of time instead of last minute.
Hey, I maybe going by bus, and if that's the case, I may need overnight housing. Could I potentially stay there?

Generally speaking in all depthiality you sound like a moron. I concur with myself indeedly.

Rofl, Bolt when you called me I was thinkin you were talkin bout the gamepad tourney... (teehee...) which was too short notice after that messy weekend. I can host one before this one. Gonna charge a dollar per person though (oh no soooo expenseeeeve). For once I'm takin money for myself.. I can't take bein a maid anymore after you animals :O

P.S. Ride prease.

why don't u advertise this tourney in some good places (not facebook, here lol)
so you could get bunch of local players...

last gamepad didn't get that many people .__. it was suppose to be big
Yeah, they had radio advertisement and still didn't get many people. I've put fliers up at the libraries and colleges so hopefully that will catch some peoples attention. I would love to get a strong local turnout, the smash community needs new faces and it would be nice to discover someone with good potential.

lol I told you it was for the 4th. :p

But yeah, with you housing people the night before, the attendance should boost a bit. Thanks very much Kenny. I was really considering dropping the new venue because of the low turnout, but hopefully this will impact it enough that the new venue won't go to waste.

If you could throw a thread up for a smashfest, that would be awesome.

Again, thanks.

Bolt are you using facebook/aib/gamefaqs for this event? Mew2king had a good thread on this. They can help attract different fanbases and players.

I've used AIB before, but never got any hits on it.. used it back for Mythic, I don't really navigate AIB as well as I do Smash Boards, and I've never used Gamefaqs.

Scott would you mind cooking up a thread on AIB? Your probably more known over those boards than I am. I've never even been on Gamefaqs website. x_x

I'll be there to help clean up after the disgusting vultures as usual.

If someone has a spot in their car, I have fuel funds.

Don't forget to bring sleeping bags. :) I don't have much furniture to sleep on since it's mostly just desks. Also got like 2 air mattresses.
Wow Kenny, There's only one person to blame if your talking about your toilet getting ducked up...
lol, it's much more than the toilets. Those are old news anyway :p

Update:

Bigger Venue!?: Saaay whaat?! Sage Mantis and I are pleased to inform you that we have another venue rented out for this Event! Also, for the first time.. we will be supplying beverages for those of you in need of caffeine. :p

Housing: K9 has once again stepped up to house those in need of housing the night before so if you need a place to crash and practice the day before the event, speak with him.

13105 Quick Place
Woodbridge, Va 22193

The housing fee is $1.00. Sleeping Bags are recommended.


MD/VA Power Rankings - New Season: That's right folks. The Power Rankings for MD/VA are starting its new season just in time for this event.

Need Setups: We are going to need setups so please bring TV's and Wii's. First 5 to bring Full Setup (TV/Wii/Smash) will get half off venue. Also, we are in desperete need of Super Street Fighter copies, so if you have that, bring that as well.


Live Feed: TKO is most likely coming since housing is available so Live Feed should be available for this event.

Local Interest: Fliers have been passed around town in hopes to capture the interest of locals. More fliers are going to be distributed tomorrow further out past Fredericksburg and into Woodbridge. We are hoping on a strong local attendance.

It is very important that we get ahold of more Super Street Fighter 4 copies. We already have 5 TV's available for Smash with 2 Wiis/Brawl, but as usual, more is always better to help things run smoother and faster.

Good **** TKO. Plan to live feed then? :)

is the address on those fliers right? (since this is at the other venue and not game haven)
Yes and no. The address takes them to Game Haven, where they must register. Then from there, you go to the Venue, which is across the street. :p

Payout is top 3 for brawl singles?
Yes as all my tournaments. If attendance gets bigger, the pay out will most likely change.

you guys should drop the livestream. did you ever think that maybe the livestream actually promotes NOT going to the tourney? i could watch it and see it from home, and not pay to enter anything.

livestream isnt the same anyway...I only watch live stream when I dont have the funds to go to the tourney.

and I think thats pretty much how everyone does it (or atleast alot of people...except stream monsters of course)

Why are you promoting your tournament from New Mexico in my thread.. :/

Anyway...


Change the payouts to top 5, it's the 21st century

no point in paying out only to top 3, this ain't 08
No point? The point is, get better if you wanna get payed. I'm not paying out to top 5 if the turnout is 30 people and only half enter singles. :/ That takes a huge chunk from 1st place, in which in my opinion, deserves a good portion of the pot.

As I said before, it all depends on attendance. If it's a solid attendance, majority vote will overrule.

This is true, but in your case.. Brawl sucks, and you'd want to be here for SSF4. In which there is no stream for that. So bring your a$$. :psycho:

I'm also hoping that acquiring the bigger/better venue and this being my last event would promote enough hype for people to come out alone, then again.. who knows with this community anymore. :laugh:

If you do the pay-outs right then you wouldn't take anything from 1st and still pay out to 5th. You payout that many people in doubles why not singles? Even if 5th doesn't get that much it's still better than nothing, but it's your tourney and if you wanna do it different/the old way that's fine :/

Top 3 is pretty discouraging. This region has too many good players for only top 3, and many mid-level players who can potentially get top 5 if they cause an upset.

If the turnout is only 15, yeah I could understand top 3, but if that's the case, the event is a lost cause anyway.

You should really consider top 5, Bolt. I was like you once but then I tried it and loved it.

btw 15 is like the minimum @ where I'd do a top 5. Anything below that is top 3. Justa opinion.

im just sayin, why put all this time and energy into setting up a stream, catering to people who aren't even there (usually only like 20-40 people anyway), when i could be playing matches, watching matches, or helping the TO, etc.? We should make those 20-40 people wait in anticipation for results, and have to show up and enter to watch intense matches.

I think the commentators just like hearing the sound of their own voice :). Where's the fun in commentating for 20 random brawl noobs?
