This tournament is in conflict with Road to Glory - Season Finale $500 Cash Prize! posted since April 27th.
Please consider a date change to avoid schedule conflict.

Yo man, could you push it back a week?

There have never been tournament conflicts in Oregon in the past; T.O.s have always been able to work together to keep big events well-timed and attendees well-informed. There's no reason this tournament should be scheduled for June 20th when another event in the same city has already been worked out for that day.

How can I get someone to contact me when there is an Oregon tournament?

Regarding the schedule conflict
On May 25th I sent a PM regarding the scheduling issue, got this in response:

Hey Tommy, it looks like you're right. I was just about to post the event page to Smashboards when I saw your message... There are some days in July when the venue is free, but it's closed/booked basically all of August and absolutely all of September.

After I said the venue I helped get was already settled and online ticket sales were already live for the date:

I'll talk to the other TOs for this event to see if they can think of any solutions, but I'm not confident that a date change will be the best one.

Event was then posted:
May 26, 2015

Two big events in the same city scheduled on the same day - definitely one for the Smash history books.
