Major Southwest Regional Tournament in November

[Dastrn]

Most of you don't know me. I'm a tournament organizer currently living the midwest. I've hosted 4 of the 6 biggest Brawl midwest tournaments this year. I'm moving to Phoenix in two weeks, and I wanted to jump right in with a bang in the southwest.

My idea is to host a Southwest Regional brawl tournament sometime in November. I don't have a venue picked out yet, since I'm not even living there yet, but my plan is to lock a venue in before the end of October and get things scheduled.

My biggest question to you all is whether people will travel from San Diego, Vegas, Tuscon, Flagstaff, Albuquerque, etc to come to a big 2 day event in Phoenix. I'd like to find a space big enough for 100-200 people, and maybe 20 setups, and include housing for the one night.

I might even hit up the top midwest/MD/VA/Texas players and try to get a handful of them to fly from each region to make this thing big.

What do you all think?

 

[Dr Drew the Dragon]

I think San Diego and Vegas smashers won't know about this unless you notify the Pacific West forum.

Other than that good luck.

 

[LeeHarris]

Well, most of the Southwest activityis in TX, so hosting somewhere like AZ and getting anywhere near a 200 man turnout will be hard. Regardless I think it is a neat idea and I hope you go through with it.

There's no way I'd fly out to something like this, that'd completely kill my arms.

Bad jokes aside, I could see myself driving out to something like this if I had the $$

I hail from Utah, but I'm moving to Fresno, Cali mid-October. If everything's going good financially at the time, I'd definitely consider making the drive to Arizona for this.

 

[Dastrn]

First priority when I get to Phoenix on the 11th is start scouting around for a venue. I'll make it happen.

 

[LeeHarris]

Awesome. I'm sure you can get it stickied once you've got everything together, but I'll definitely try to hype this for TX players

melee please?

 

[rugoodat0]

I agree with AXE, but it seems like a good idea.

[furiousduffmanx]

Phoenix is pretty close to some of us, if housing is provided, i think 5 people from El Paso would go

 

[Yummy!]

Oh yea, cool

 

[rugoodat0]

Oh yea, make an allisbrawl.com page too.

 

[-RedShadow]

If you can have it around Thanksgiving then you'll prolly get alot of poeple.

Texas included

 

[Jar'd]

Melee, Brawl, 64, whatever it is, I like the idea. I'd be sure to try and make it.

 

[rugoodat0]

And make the name an acronym with sexual innuendo.

 

[LeeHarris]

G.I.R.T.H.

Grand Inter Regional Tournament Happening

 

[AXE 09]

i like melee too much lol. if i go to this (which i probably will) then i'll definately bring melee

doofo is amazing haha

 

[Dastrn]

It'd be primarily Brawl, but I'd be open to doing a Melee singles event as well, I suppose.

Huge Underground Nintendo Gaming = HUNG

like that?

 

[rugoodat0]

Huge Underground Nintendo Gaming = HUNG

like that?

Not really, lol.

Only regional gaming abuses sexual meme's
or like something else for s and m (couldnt think of anything else)
ORGASM

Just an example, if you like it, take it

EDIT: I like LeeHarris' too.

 

[rugoodat0]

Any updates?

 

[KingofTheSouth33]

whats the word on this tourny im from the lone star state... and would make this trip

 

[Overswarm]

If Dastrn hosts this and you locals don't go, you're silly. Dastrn is top tier. (Tell his wife to make eggs, they're pretty awesome)

 

[Wobbles]

Dirty acronyms, huh.

Phoenix Is Simply Smashing
Crown Our Current King
Smash Extravaganza Xtreme
Arizona Smash Supreme
Brawl In The Cactus House

For the good of this thread, I will cease.

 

[Dark Shifter]

sounds pretty ****ing amazing if you ask me

 

[Slepten]

This would be awesome
But...

2 day even is a mistake I thinks. It would attract more people if they would know they wouldn't have to stay overnight if they didn't have too.

 

[KosukeKGA]

Slepten, Smashers like us offer housing to OOS (Out-of-State) players so that they will not have to expend more money at a motel or something (Gas driving/Flight tickets are bad enough).

 

[Slepten]

Kinda true.
But not everybody trusts strangers to house them over night (dun dun dun)

 

[KosukeKGA]

...Um, alright.

 

[LegionBrawler]

I would go to this...There would have to be a lot of out of state people for it to have 100-200 people though AZ is mostly melee besides casual players

 

[Slepten]

I try as hard as I can to be brawl competitive =(

So dude, any news?
Updates?
