• August 25th – Pasco, WA
• August 26th – Yakima, WA

Prizes: 1st place - 50% of cash entries up to $100

I don't want to be guilty of Advertising Spam, but you can find more information and the tournament details on TourneyPLAY's website at TourneyPLAY.net.

Good ****, maybe ill show up for a couple of these.

 

[TourneyPlay]

Cool. For the serious players, I don't expect you would go to all of these events... so if we could discuss which stores the majority of you can play at, then we can plan for it and prep the store for a great SMASH turnout. The store manager in Shelton told me that their last SMASH event brought in close to 50 players. I wasn't there, but that would be cool.

Also... I'm not interested in competing with GC but I can't find any info on their tourney calendar. When they have their monthly, I'd like to schedule TourneyPLAY to be in a more distant store so we aren't competing for players. Any ideas?

 

[Jem.]

Yeah, I'm one of the serious players. Ranked 9th in Washington. My brother, Jamo and I, were at the Auburn Library tournament today. Not sure if you were, but anyways. We live up in Marysville, 30 minutes north of Seattle, so anything more south than Auburn might be hard for us to make. Lakewood would be a possiblity.

I'm not sure if you want to have one August 11th, because Gameclucks was planning to have it the same day.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

I went to one of them in California.It sucked.

But I think this has a diffirent sponsor.If so,it won't be a noob fest.

 

[Jem.]

Is one being held this weekend?
On the site, if you click Events, it says in Puyallup.
Jamo, Emo$, and myself were gonna go to this. Tell me its officla >.<

 

[TourneyPlay]

I've got a message into their DM, but he hasn't contacted me back. They were talking about backing out. I'll touch base with the store manager again tomorrow and post the final outcome on the site and here. Perhaps if there's enough interest in another tourney this weekend, I'll set it up at another Gamecrazy location. Do you think we can get enough players together for this weekend if I moved it somewhere else?

 

[Jem.]

Probably.
As long as it isnt too far south, Jamo, Emo$, and I will most likely come for sure. Ppa0 probably too.
The Auburn area might be better, since most the smashers in WA live South of Seattle or just around. But I really just want to go to a tournament this weekend.

Tell him 3 skilled smashers want them to have it >.<

 

[TrueJamo]

as long as we can get some word out soon i think people will go. a good amount of people always seem to show up. and since saturday was already an idea online, i think people might have plans for one. lets just not make it in Vancouver, lol.

 

[Touk]

"August 4th – Bremerton, WA (TBD)"

The one tourney to happen where I live and I have to go to a wedding.
Just, wow.

I will go to the Port Orchard one with a few friends of mine (if it's confirmed, probably 4 other people)

Tourney Rules?

 

[ThePrime]

Having another tourney south of seattle, like the one in auburn, is really nice because theres a lot of 'no-namers' so to speak here down south that are willing to go to any kind of event since its summer. I know up north is where the more serious activity happens like gameclucks, but south wants love too lol.

On a sidenote, i think (its TBA) there might be a tourney in South Hill Mall this saturday the 21st at some EB Games store.

 

[artifice]

sweet i can about gaurantee spokane crew will be going to pasco. and maybe yakima, but ill be at pax with my crew.

SMASH Tourney This Weekend!!!

On a sidenote, i think (its TBA) there might be a tourney in South Hill Mall this saturday the 21st at some EB Games store.

The DM of EBGames in South Hill Mall talked about cancelling it and he hasn't got back to me. I'm going to check in with the Manager again today and I'll let everyone know what's up. There WILL be a tourney this weekend but I might have to move it to Gamecrazy in Lakewood. They have the most room and I'll dedicate it all to you SMASHERS. We can have a ton of free play (6 stations), but they would be on small LCD's. And then for the tournament we'll have three or four old school screens (no lag) to keep the tourney moving quickly. If a couple of you want to bring a couple more tv's and cubes, we can setup a Gamecrazy tent outside as well for more stations. We put walls up on the tent last event to keep the glare off. It worked.

Jamo, Emo$, and myself will show up for sure. Just let me know when Gamecrazy confirms we can go there.

 

[TourneyPlay]

[TourneyPlay]

Added two tournament events

Regarding Game Crazy monthlies. We have now added two additional stores...

Thursday, August 23rd - Game Crazy in Hermiston, OR
Friday, August 24th - Game Crazy in Union Gap, WA

And don't forget:
Saturday, August 25th - Game Crazy in Pasco, WA
Sunday, August 26th - Game Crazy in Yakima, WA

I realize this is the same weekend as PAX, but hopefully some of you not travelling to Seattle can pick up one of our Game Crazy events.

 

[gunstargav]

i will be at the bremerton and port orchard tourneys.

 

[Touk]

turns out I will be going to the bremerton tourney AS WELL as the port orchard tourney. Although I highly doubt the bremerton one will be very big/fun, someone else should go... Dan?

 

[Jumpfreak]

I never get weekends off.

I had to make a special request to get the 11th of August off for GC.

T_T

 

[TourneyPlay]

We appreciate the participation and we're trying to make this a fantastic monthly event for every Game Crazy store. We realize most won't be able to attend all of them and there will be conflicts with the Gameclucks and SeattleSmash events (Which we completely support) so pick the dates you want to compete and we'll see you there!!! The store managers are giving away freebie stuff at EVERY event!!!

 

[Touk]

I think I am bringing 4-5 other people this saturday as well.

COOL. The more the better!!! And the bigger the prize.

Free play starts at Noon and we will also be having freebie contests for some cool prizes. So come early.

Have you registered online yet at TourneyPLAY.net? If not, you should... even if you can't pay online. Just register as a player. THANKS!!!!

 

[Touk]

So you cannot counter pick stages according to the rules?

 

[TourneyPlay]

We try to use the same rule set as GameClucks and SeattleSmash. I personally don't know the game well enough to make any changes so I pretty much leave it in the hands of the players during the event. (=

 

[Touk]

Is it possible to ensure/enforce tourney rules? I don't want to go to a tourney and like 3/4 of the noobs there want to play free for all with items.

Wouldnt worry, TourneyPlay guy knows that ffa and items are no-no's. It will be 1v1 4 stock, the usual stuff, the more specific things like counterpicking hes not to sure about, and like he said, just leaves that kind of stuff up to the players.

Are you going to go to the tournament? I would like some competition.

That's what I thought until Ammon showed up a few weekends ago.
Then I didn't want competition. >_>

 

[ThePrime]

The only TourneyPlay event that i could go to is in lakewood on the 18th - but im going to be camping. All the other locations are just too far and not worth the drive.

That's too funny jem.

Hey PRIME... where do you live? Maybe you could ride up with me? I'm in Puyallup and I don't mind taking you with me if you want to go. Let me know.

 

[ThePrime]

I live in maple valley, which is i think a 30 min drive or so from puyallup. Looking at your calendar, for this weekend, im not sure what im doing sunday (the port orchard one) - ill let you know if i can go to that if you're willing to pick me up. The weekend after that, 11th is gameclucks and 12th is a seattlesmash event. Weekend after, im gonna be camping 17th-19th. Weekend after, the 25th theres one in Pasco...im on the way if you can pick me up...but its a 3 hour drive >_<.

 

[TourneyPlay]

I'll take you on Sunday if you want to go. Any chance you can meet me near 167?

It would be a cool road trip to go to Pasco, but I'll be there Thursday through Sunday for tournaments each day...
Hermiston
Union Gap
Pasco
Yakima

Maybe you can get some of the regulars to carpool with you. I know some of the Spokane crew plans on competing in one or two of those tourneys.

 

[Touk]

This isht is tomorrow. Everyone go to bremerton.

 

[TourneyPlay]

Right on Touk... I look forward to seeing you play. I hope we can get some players to go. The more the better.

 

[Jem.]

Touk is good, don't worry. I'll be suprised if he doesn't take it.

 

[TourneyPlay]

Where are you going to be Jem? Why don't you hop the ferry. This is the closest TourneyPLAY event to you. Well, Poulsbo might be closer on the 17th.
