Just another day.
Unfortunately, due to some extreme life problems that just came up, I will not be able to even attempt to attend your Dec. 4th tourney or any others for a while. I hope that they'll come back out to meet the community again when I can actually attend, but as for now, I'm completely out of the smash community.

Hey Guys,

Yes, it's true USGA is NO longer a home for 'Waba'. It's a long story, but the short of it is I couldn't continue working with USGA without getting paid. I was spending too much money and working too hard for a partner who gave me excuses instead of support. Sorry about the inconvenience...

But, I am working on Bringing Waba Back to Life!!!

I am even working with Nolan Bushnell (Inventor of 'PONG' / Founder of Atari and Chuck E Cheeses) on the future 'Waba' company! I'm in Seattle atm working with some great people trying to make it happen. I'm working on getting a tournament together for December 4th, 2010 with Nolan Bushnell there to meet and greet with people and give out the prizes. I'll get you guys more info as I get confirmations and details. So keep that Saturday open!!!

Survey Question for all you tournament players:
What is the highest Entry Fee you would honestly pay to play in a SSBB tournament that guaranteed at least $2,500 prize pool?

$10
$15
$20
$25
$30
$40
$50

How about if it was a guaranteed $5,000 prize pool?
$20
$25
$30
$35
$40
$45
$50

Let me know guys asap, so I can discuss the results with Nolan and my partners. Thanks in advance...

Min,

We would like to give you the opportunity to give the community the real facts of what happened with the relationship between Waba and USGA. It is a long story, but the community deserves to know the truth. You should post the facts right here or we will? The community needs to know what our arrangement was between Waba and USGA and how you met these new partners and came to possess this great new plan.

Microsoft is one potential and is more about hardware partnerships, where as other unnamed potential sponsors/partners maybe software or tournament related. Don't think too linear just because I'm talking about what's going on atm. This is the beginning of the journey, so don't define the whole trip by just the first steps. This is going to be a long journey on virgin roads trying to lead to success. There will be road blocks, bumps, and maybe even major accidents, but various roads/paths to travel to reach our destination. We sometimes need to backtrack or even go off road, but getting to the destination is paramount. Don't set limitations or negativity, life is too short NOT to think BIG.

just saying...

With the effort taken just to sign up on the boards, find this thread and call Min out, I'm surprised you didn't just outright explain the whole story yourself. =/

i want to attend a monthly but i might only have 10 dollars when it comes up. if it costs more than that ill try to find some more. but do we have a good estimate on what the fee should be?
Click to expand...
normally: $5/10 door entry (for spectating, getting through the door, playing friendlies)
$10 Singles ( to enter the singles tournament)
$20 for teams[$10 per team mate] ( to enter the doubles tournament)

Overall if you are planning to enter singles only bring about $25 and you should enough to enter, play in the singles tournament, and get food.

So....where can a guy go for melee these days? I have no idea what USGA is doing anymore, so what are the other options?
Click to expand...
USGA has 9 non HD TV's set up for Gaming in the back room. Depending on how many come... you may need to bring your systems and game disc. I recommend calling ahead just to be sure that they aren't already reserved for a tournament or private party 770-910-7951. There are special hotel accommodations available for anyone coming in town to play at USGA. Check with the Wingate Inn on Mansell Rd. the room sleeps 5 people for $49! Thanksgiving Day they will be closed but they hold Lock-in's every Friday.

Lounis is a scrub. Billy's Snake is alright.

That being said, Scatt is incredibly underrated, and is a very good Snake.

Isaac, call me today if you can, and David might be able to give us a ride. He said it depends on what he has to do that week.

I also found a taxi service, so I don't really have ride johns anymore.
Halleujah.
