Just wanna say thanks to all that came to Final Smash 4. It was a hell of a lot of fun for everyone, but hell for me. I'm going to invest in new equipment to make sure security is handled better (if you were there or read the results, you know what I mean).
A long shot, but if someone happens to know where I can buy a cash register or a lock box or something, let me know.
I don't know when or if I'm going to host another tournament, but I want to let everyone know that the Final Smash series is being put to rest. If anything new emerges, it will be limited to one game and 2 or 3 events depending on the time. Trying to make everything as epic as it's been in the past is really wearing me down. Epic has always been my goal at all of my events, but considering the problems I've had to deal with, despite all that I have thought I've learned, there is still need for me to hone my skills as a TO. I will be focusing on smaller events before I go through the trouble it takes to manage an event with so many players.
Everyone, thanks for all the support you've given to me since I switched from being just another player to a well known tournament organizer and host. But I'm taking a break from Smash for a while. Need to get over the loss, and figure out a way to keep doing this without losing so much money and sleep over it.
