Hello all,
I'm the owner of the Play N Trade video game store, located in Chandler, AZ. Some of the regulars are already familiar with the location and our fantastic weekly tournaments. We're the largest PNT store in the country, with nearly 3000 sq.ft of gaming goodness.
Back by popular demand. Another Smash:Melee tournament. The last one was a huge success, with over 70 people attending. Since we've been open only a couple of months now, the last tourney was our first attempt at hosting Smash Bros. There were some bumps but overall it went very well. Better than I had hoped.
We've heard many suggestions and are making this next one much better. Thanks, AltF4, for many of these. Here are some improvements.
1. We have 15 LCD HD 1080p monitors at our location. As much as I would like to add 8 more regular TVs to eliminate this LAG, most of you know very well that we just can't do that. Besides, you'll thank me later for my next gen 40K setup. Like how about a Halo 3 midnight release tournament in 3 weeks, or Gears of War 4v4 Execution next week. Both of these are on 8 XBOX 360's. I'm all set for it. HDMI is the way to go. Can't wait for Street Fighter II HD Remix on XBOX Live.
Anyway, back to Smash, all Gamecubes will be hooked up via component cables. I'm a fool. I did not realize that I could use Wii components on Gamecubes. We're all good now.
2. Preregister. Please people. You saw what happened last time. Only 30 out of 74 or so preregistered. Besides, it's cheaper. I'm going to say this again. It's CHEAPER to pre-register. I don't mind making the extra $5 from each of you.
3. TV Utilization. We had 8 TVs going for the last tournament. We're still utilizing the 8 for this one but will also have 4-6 additional TVs for people who want to practive and/or play other games while they wait for their turn. We'll provide some games and systems. Feel free to also bring your own gamecubes and copies of smash or even 64 versions of smach with the consoles.
4. I'll use Tio tournament organizer if someone shows me how to properly configure it for Smash. Although, I think our current software worked just fine.
NOW, on with the show!
This will be a DOUBLES tournament.
Tournament starts at noon (sharp!) Sign up times 11am-11:45am (Pre-register, fools!)
Pre-registation: $10 per person ($20 per team)
At the door: $15 per person ($30 per team) Yes, $30, so why don't you pre-register?
We gave away a Wii for the last one. That's fine for a singles, but I had to get creative for doubles. Pot prizes are just so boring
GRAND prize: Any 4 Video Games, not exceeding a total of $240 OR $200 store credit
2nd place: Any 2 Video Games, not exceeding a total of $120 OR $100 store credit
3rd place: $50 store credit
BONUS: The two teams to defeat TAJ and teammate will get $20 store credit per team. (Sorry man, you're just too good.
