Dynomite you are still an idiot, and there's still no good reason for you not to play Melee.
You could honestly just say that you find Brawl more fun than Melee, and that would be a sufficient reason alone.
But to cite one random *** tournament that was poorly run and associate that experience with the entirety of Melee tournaments is absolutely ridiculous.
I've been to my fair share of poorly run tournaments for Melee and Brawl. But the fact of the matter is that Melee tournaments on the whole are still incredibly incredibly fun, and however unfortunate your experience was, it does not really mean thats how Melee tournaments usually are.
As a matter of fact, I find brawl tournaments on the whole to be far more boring or annoying to attend, simply because Brawl attracts so many new and young players that don't know anything about the game or tournaments in general. They're generally stupid, annoying, and I hate being in the same room with ignorant scrubs, that'll spout nonsense like "BRAWL IS A PERFECTLY BALANCED GAME!" and "What's Street Fighter?" or "Street Fighter is dumb and broken Smash is soooo much better."
Try going to an actual tournament and then come back with an impression.
