Shortly after Brawl comes out (maybe three weeks after?) my college's fighting games club is looking to holds a Brawl tourney. Brawl is definitely gonna cause a ruckus when it gets released and we're trying to take advantage of that to get our club some exposure. : D
Problem is we don't really know how to do this proper. We don't have anyone with experience in this sorta thing. Also, our club's incredibly young, just getting started this spring semester, but we NEED to have meaningful events like this planned out when we charter our club or else the college is gonna tell us to STFU and keep us from even getting started up.
A few things.
1) We definitely need a venue to hold the tournament. The college is in NYC (Hunter College to be exact). Any places people can recommend?
2) We're also gonna need numerous TVs and systems. If alot of people show up (limit I'm thinking of is 32 people, first come first get) how many kiosks should I have running at any one time? Def gonna run things on a BYOC basis, though, I at least know that.
3) Singles, five-stock, 2 out of 3, loser gets to pick the next stage. Stages with ridiculous hazards, stages that scroll too quickly, too vast, etc gets BANN'D. And if anyone brings in a custom stage that has these characteristics, they get DQ'd.
4) We're gonna need to charge an entry fee. We're a totally new club, so what do you say is a good price? I was thinking $5 for students from the college, and $7 for everyone else.
5) This might be too ambitious, but I was thinking of the proceeds going to charity. Stupid idea? Save it for another tourney another time later down the line?
6) Prizes can be sponsored by the budget we get from the school.
Yeahh... thanks in advance, even if (as I suspect) some of you are gonna tell us to just forget it...
