I would really love to travel OoS myself to go to Pound 5. There's plenty of time to save up for a trip like that. It's not just me right, any of you guys gonna try to make the trip?

Happy birthday Dylan.

---------------------------------------
Deva, the best Link aside from Legan, is going to tournaments all over the USA. Since I'm the only person crazy enough to main Link in CO I'm asking for him when are a few major tourneys that an out of state player will want to attend? How are housing arrangements worked out for situations like this? C3 site doesn't say any details about tourneys right now. I can't offer my place :( . This is vague but keep it in mind in the future.

I don't know about you but I think Colorado is pretty tired of C3's overpriced venue fees. (Although there could be some who have a different opinion) Our best bet is to find a venue ourselves and hold a tourney(or multiple ones there.) at the very least charge 5-10 dollars for the venue fee(as opposed to $30-40 with situations very reminiscent of price gouging.)

I've talked to Tim and friends about it and I think Dan sent a message, but we actually have something just like that.

Dano is currently working at the soon-to-be defunct Psyche Deli - the manager said it'd be alright for us to host a small tournament there for free. It gives us a free venue and it brings in people to the restaurant. A win win! It's kinda small though - like three TVs max.

We could get a sandwhich and drink for $5, which is kinda good.

When would people be able to make another tournament? This weekend? 2-3 weeks from now?

Grass-roots tourneys, I like it. TC said something about holding tourneys at CU some time ago. I don't know what happened with that. ?

I'm trying to be active (yet again:urg:), with luck I will actually attend tourneys and smashfests again. I was really depressed and have critical insomnia.
Anyway, I'll keep up with this thread and be active in the future;).

I might be able to 2-3 weeks from now. You see I will start training for a new job next monday and I am off saturdays. No guarantees that I can go. Also if I can go I might have a wii I can bring as well.

EDIT:
Just did some research and provided I get an apartment in Northern Pueblo it will be under 2 hour drive to get the venue. Who knows? maybe we can get business back into this place and have a good venue for small tourneys as well!

wait, wait wait...

all of your venue fees are $20-30? that's so sad considering i've (heard through the grapevine) that the supercon venue is given for free (though i could be mistaken)



you should host stuff like is being talked about. Check out local community centers and talk to them. Be nice and thankful when talking to them, make a good impression!


i want to come up again! i'll be watching ya CO

I'm pretty sure we're all madly in love with you, Mike. Jussayin'.

Anyway, yeah, I was talking with DTL a few days ago, and told him about my plan. Here's what I thought would be a good idea:
  • There has to be at least one source of fests for each 'region'. (Northern Colorado, Denver area, and Colorado Springs and down). Tim's place was the obvious idea for Denver-area, DTL said he could volunteer to do stuff at his place in Longmont (if not him, then UNC would be our spot), and Colorado Springs has the McDonald's stuff.
  • There needs to be a consistent schedule. Denver and NorCo smashfests would probably alternate every 2 weeks (so that would mean one event per month at Tim's, one per month at DTL's, etc.), and Colorado Springs fests would probably stay the way they are now.
  • Zournament would be our big tournament dealio. It'd probably be held around 4 times a year. Colorado Springs is actually a really good place to hold the big event because:

    1. We have a well-known venue to kick back in, and it automatically comes bundled with a TO that knows how things need to be run.

    2. It's easier for New Mexico and other states to drive in if they want to show up.

    3. The projected venue is closer to COS than, say, Tim's house is to DIA. Makes it much easier for OoSers to fly in. If they decide they want to fly in through DIA, they'd just ride with us down to Colorado Springs.

  • Other locals are totally cool, like Dano's sandwich shop tourney. If somebody wants to host a tourney on the week of one of the smashfests, the fest would just be cancelled. If Level Zero wants to host something, same deal.

What do you think?

Undies is brilliant. I approve. Also once I move to Pueblo I can most likely house New Mexico(since they are 4 1/2 hours away.) I talked to Dekar, JT! and Goyf and they said that they would be down for Zournament. I think we just need to generate hype for it.

@ Underload: Approve. The consistency will make them easier to attend. Big venues will sap some of us dry and gas isn't cheap so the regional smash-fests help a lot. Great idea.

My house is always open for tourneys. It's a matter of telling me first so I can prep the money required.

Thanks Underload for the compliment :).

EDIT: I know I can get UCCS venue for cheap as well. If we include NM into tourneys, it's going to need a bigger venue than my house.

EDIT2: And yes, I do have to pay for it. Free for the first 3 hours, then $20 for each after that. Probably would do a $5 venue fee if we did UCCS.
