because Melee has taken over this thread due to the lack of enthusiasm of brawlers.

any suggestions on how to resolve possible housing issues? I can take 4 people in my house, but I have been known to house about 10 smashers/hobos.

I doubt its a lack of enthusiasm. What do you want brawlers to post anyways. The current topic is melee stage list/ melee tournament hosting. I'd love to go to a massive European tournament.

People in london who usually house are me, alex and charles.
I personally would only be willing to house melee ppl, and can take 4, with priority given to my crew + scots

The problem is convincing all the london brawlers to house other brawlers, not too sure who in london plays brawl anymore though.

Do the brawlers really not care for a big tournament? >.>

anyone that can house would be fantastic.

the brawlers care, just not as concerned as the Melee'ers.

vast majority have a habit of wanting to leave everything to one guy and then reap the benefits.

Hugo- he can host whatever kind of tournament he wants

Bmack- It's going to pay off being patient. Any tournaments I've run or have played a part in running has involved a fair bit of preparation even before the venue is booked. If the venue is big enough which it sounds like it is then the next important thing is TVs. If you can account for all the TVs you need then you have to try and sort out housing. Ask around if I were you. There may be people who can help you out. The venue itself might even be an option.

How many UK Brawlers are there in the first place?
You could always look on AiB - people will use Wi Fi if they can't/don't attend tourneys. That might be a good place to start, see if you can generate some attendees there

I would love to see a large UK tourney but I don't know the first thing to organizing one. Need to find Brawlers at Uni...

honestly bmack I've seen several uk brawlers who post on SWF (some long time posters) who have never showed up to an event before, why not scout around? advertise elsewhere.

Stupid melee scene. Stop being better than the brawl scene.

Rickerdy, there's a guy called Four Sword who really wants you to come to this.

hahahah whichever game it's for the bigger issue is housing and TVs. If you can't sort both of these out then you're not going to be able to run a tournament

Seems like a lot of tourneys in Germany are in the making.

Dögüsch Smash is confirmed for March [weekend over the 11th] - Brawl
MSN2 and BiB2 are discussed and it seems like most people settle with April for both tourneys [one is Melee and the other is Brawl].

I'll probably end up doing that... but not until I've got some proper solid venue and TV plans.
