[CrypTik]

Lol, same.I was starting to think no one was coming. I was pissed that my mom just showed up without calling me. I had planned to stay later.

 

[BBQTV]

guys you need to post in here to help me hype this ****

karu are you gonna bring another t.v for melee or do i need to bring one or we dont need any?

 

[#HBC | Gorf]

Sounds pretty good. I might be able to come with my buddy this thursday coming up. How many Melee players usually go?

I've never heard of the venue. Are they regular TVs or HD?

 

[BBQTV]

we have regular and 2 big t.vs with lag and will have at least one for melee

 

[BBQTV]

we have yet to have any melee players but if people want melee how can we say no?

 

[#HBC | Gorf]

Yea i get you. I mean, if anybody else there is down to play melee, I will, but if nobody wants to than that's cool with me too. More brawl lol. How entrants are there usually?

 

[BBQTV]

we just started last last thursday and the first time we had more people the second time which was this past thursday we had one new player and 4 players from last time. we hope we get more next time

 

[#HBC | Gorf]

Maybe, instead of having tourneys every week, you should have tournies bi weekly, and the other week should be a straight up smashfest. That way, you'll attract more people to the venue, and the next week, they'll familiarize themselves with the venue, and get an opprotunity to prepare.

Plus, being a thursday, you can't expect the best outcome in the world. Is it a mandatory 5 dollar entrance, or only for tourney?

 

[BBQTV]

so your saying we should a tourney every other week? and the 5 bucks is door fee

 

[#HBC | Gorf]

I don't mean to come across as trying to tell you what to do. I'm just giving you suggestions.

Here's how I'd run this if I had the venue:

The first week it'd be a straight up smashfest. People can come free and play free. Then, if the people want a singles tourney, then give them a singles tourney ($5 entry, $5 pot). I assume that the venue is a store/arcade? If it is, then even if you let them in free, you're doing the store justice by attracting new customers.

The next week, people can still come in free and play, but they know that a tourney's going down. So make sure that you set a time for signups (If you open the doors to Smashers at 12, I'd say start signups for dubz at 1-2, and have the tourney start at 2 30($5 entrance, $10 per team to pot)). So the tourney ended woohoo! Give yourself like an hour to play, and then announce that singles signups will be starting up, and give the signups an hour. ($5 entrance, $5 pot) After the deadline, give late people a half hour to show up, and then start the tourney. After the tourney's over, everybody can chill out and play for as long as you have the venue, and that's it.

Nobody really wants to pay $5 for friendlies. If they want to play in tourney, that's when you ask for the $5 entrance. My first tourney, I had about fifteen or twenty people show up for singles. I had like two months or so for planning. And, I was fairly new to smashboards at the time. You've had two tournies, on thursdays, and had a pretty decent attendance. Trust me. If you keep this up, it'll get bigger. Plus, if you get somebody's attention, that person might tell their friend, who might tell their friend, and your tournies will get pretty big.

 

[CrypTik]

Well, I'm sure the host won't change his view on the 5 dollar door fee. I really didn't mind all that much though. It's just 5 dollars. If you get there early it's really worth it. I mean I played for several hours.

I'm a melee player. So I would be willing to play melee.

 

[#HBC | Gorf]

Alrite. It's really just a suggestion. I mean either way, I'll be down to go. But other cheap people might not.

Yea I'm more experienced with Brawl, but I like the technical idea of Melee better. I've never played anybody irl, and I wanna try to get better.

So I shouldn't have a problem making it on Thursday, assuming my brother or my dad aren't doing anything.

 

[BBQTV]

karu the one who started this works at final round and im not sure if he can get them to make smashfests free but tourneys you have to pay door fee but thats not a bad idea. after this next one that passes i wanna start tourneys and may change the date to saturdays so we could get better attendance

 

[_WindeX_]

I'm probably not gonna start going again til the thursday 2 weeks from now. Just too much stuff to do :D

And btw, I'm very interested in melee. I have several gamecubes and one disc/memory card, which I could bring.

 

[BBQTV]

i'll just bring my copy because i'll be their super early as usual. would you rather melee be on a wii or gamecube?

 

[#HBC | Gorf]

Yea, my friend decided to format my memory card, and I lost all of the memory. So if I go I'll probably bring my memory card and try to copy it.

 

[CrypTik]

I'll bring my wii with melee and my memory card. You can copy mine. I actually prefer melee over brawl but since I'm just starting out in brawl I'm not going to play melee as much. I need to get more experience in brawl.

 

[BBQTV]

you can bring melee then and i'll bring the t.v and which melee will be played

 

[CrypTik]

Okay. Sounds good. I'm really looking forward to playing again. Brawl is alot more fun than I thought it'd be.

 

[BBQTV]

karu i updated the op, do you like?

 

[BBQTV]

karu we need a computer so we can use this

http://allisbrawl.com/tio/

people say it's godlike


it's a program that makes running tournaments easier

 

[CrypTik]

I can bring my laptop.

 

[fromundaman]

Oh yeah. If you're planning to start hosting tournaments, you need TIO.

 

[#HBC | Gorf]

Tio is like, the God of all tourney organizers. You can even put the brackets up on this site, set up prize money, randomize brackets. It's amazing.

 

[fromundaman]

It's also very easy to use. All in all makes TOing a LOT easier.

 

[BBQTV]

I can bring my laptop.

if you could that would be great

and because of all the feedback, i really wanna try it now

 

[KaZeKaRu(Final Round)]

Nice OP update BBQ you should really call me though and let me know what's up lol you threw me off with the tourney but hell yeah lets do it. Melee and brawl tourney lets see what the people think. I hope to see Melee and brawl players there. BTW the owners made street fighter shirts for the street fighter guys he had made the same suggestion if the brawlers want shirts he can also have them made and ordered. Only if you guys want. BBQ when you get a chance call me today incase you forgot the number. (786 991 4253)

 

[#HBC | Gorf]

I'd post up the rules for the tourney. Like, for stage selection and whatnot. And the pot only adds up to 96?

EDIT:

Wow nvm about the %. Realized there are two 5th places.

And another thing. You'll probably want to get the tourney/smashfests on the FL thread. It'll hype it up like nothing.

 

[BBQTV]

their isn't 2, 5th places because those 2 will fight for 5th place

i'll call but i gotta charge my phone and it's early in the morning and i thought you told me to set a date

ok i think i'll post the rules now then

 

[BBQTV]

i have put the rules up

 

[verycoolguy]

I might be here tomorrow. What time does it start?
