Edit: I updated this thread because I think it might be better to make a statewide league with smaller tournaments in the county level. So now this message applies to all players in California. Also, if you already have an established scene in your area, I'd like to work with your local tournament hosters and help them grow.
Please read everything I have to say--I know it's long, but it's also really important. Thanks!
Hi everyone,
Hopefully, you guys have read this on the Smashboards home page: http://smashboards.com/threads/smash-wii-u-gets-a-call-to-arms.393296/. @juice.Doom has a message for us: http://pastebin.com/VpkMMBsi. We need to get organized and strengthen our community.
For that reason, I wanted to talk to fellow Smash 4 players in the state I live in. We should work together to organize tournaments at both the state and local levels in order to help Smash 4 gain a stronger competitive scene by raising awareness in our area.
What we could do is have local tournaments happen in individual cities. The various tournament hosters would be a part of a single league, but they would have the freedom to make tournaments whenever they want to. And then we could pool our resources together for one big tournament that everyone from our state can participate in. For example, since I live in Folsom, I would host tournaments here in Folsom. Someone else living in another city, such as Sacramento, would host some Smash 4 tournaments there. After a while, (maybe some time in Spring or Autumn) we would work together--using a portion of the revenue made from the earlier, city-based tournaments--and host one big tournament. This could help Smash 4 grow. It makes the competitive scene more accessible in our area. And having more Smash 4 tournaments will make the game more popular--a big tournament focused on Smash 4 will make it more well-known.
Another important aspect mentioned in the call-to-arms was social media. We need to let Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ know of Smash 4 and its happenings in our tournaments. Streaming is also very important. We need people to record our tournaments and post them on Youtube and Twitch. This will spread the word about our scene and help make a more vibrant Smash 4 community in our state. With other people doing this in other areas too, it will lead to a larger, stronger, more exciting competitive scene for everyone.
But before we can do all this, we need to form a group to manage these proceedings. We need people from various cities to join together and commit to hosting tournaments in their areas as well as sharing the events with the rest of the world through various mediums. Also, if there are already venues that host tournaments in your area, please ask them to join our association. Please comment below if you or your local tournament scene are willing to help out and improve Smash 4's competitive scene. I need contact information so we can work together on working out the details of this organization.
Also, if there's any comments or suggestions you have, please feel free to mention them here!
Thanks for reading this, and I hope we can Smash 4 a bigger, better game by working on this together.
