New Money Contest!
Hey guys... TourneyPLAY has a new idea for a monthly SMASH Money contest. Take a look at the details and let us know what you think? Any ideas to make it better? Would you be interested? Etc...
Here's the deal...
Of course we would constantly update the "Game Pool" on our website as subscribers pay in. This way, you always know what you're going to be playing for that month.
So what's in it for TourneyPLAY?
We're trying to build a business. But we know the best way to do that is to make it worth it to the players. So we only take 10% to help pay for the adminstrative cost of organizing each month. And we move 50% of prize pools that aren't won into the business to make our events even more spectacular.
Some options...
So what do you think? Is this a BOGUS idea, or would you like the chance to win more cash for playing a game you love? Tell us your thoughts. If it's BOGUS, we'll bag the whole idea and start a new brainstorming session.
Hey guys... TourneyPLAY has a new idea for a monthly SMASH Money contest. Take a look at the details and let us know what you think? Any ideas to make it better? Would you be interested? Etc...
Here's the deal...
- Players become TourneyPLAY subscribers.
- Cost is $10 per month.
- All the money goes into their "Game Pool"
- TourneyPLAY will announce a featured Tournament that month.
- The featured Tournament may include a GameClucks or SeattleSmash event, but will usually be a TourneyPLAY sponsored event.
- If you are a subscriber and win 1st place in the featured tournament, you will win 90% of the Game pool or $180.00 if we had 20 subscribers.
- 25 subscribers, and you would win an additional $225 on top of the actual tournament prize.
- If no subscriber wins the tournament, 50% of the game pool is carried over to the next month .
- If you win that next month with the same 25 subscribers, you would win $326.25 in addition to the actual tournament prize. That's not a bad day's work.
Of course we would constantly update the "Game Pool" on our website as subscribers pay in. This way, you always know what you're going to be playing for that month.

Some options...
- Break down the prize pool for 1st & 2nd place finishers.
- Divide "Game Pool" in two and feature two tournaments if there's enough subscribers.
- Anything else?
So what do you think? Is this a BOGUS idea, or would you like the chance to win more cash for playing a game you love? Tell us your thoughts. If it's BOGUS, we'll bag the whole idea and start a new brainstorming session.

I want money.
tourney play should sponsor GC, and have all those guys go there so we don't have to go around as much, and get a giant tourney each month. Unless Nate wants to drive to some of these...

The GC guy and I are talking about something like that. We are both interested in creating the ultimate NW SMASH operation for you. We'll keep you posted.

You guys should sponsor both GC and Seattlesmash. The three of you guys should start planning on monthlies (like you are with the GC guy) so that literally all of western WA will be able to participate in big 40+ person events. The big problem is that everyone lives kind of far away from eachother, but lives close enough to go to one event. During your planning, seriously pick (or even poll) a city that accomdates the majority of western WA.
GC is big no doubt, and thats up north in lynnwood. Seattlesmash and your Tourneyplay are smaller organiztions compared to GC, and mostly live in the south. I would say that either Seattle/Kirkland would be a reasonable place to hold events. This way, pretty much anyone, could get there in about an hour drive, its all about finding a mid point with north/south. I know the GC people dont want to drive around too far, well, neither do us south players. The thing is, the north GC guys are more skilled, but I'd say theres MORE less-skilled players down south.

Dan won. I need ten characters, so I will have to write more. Gimpy, I tried to flamecancel today at the tourney but was unable to do so.
Jem.
Smash Master
Gimpy dont ban me please, I just wanted to know who won so badly >=[.
there could be several problems.
one possible problem is that you (like most smashers) dont actually know what flame canceling is.
another possible problem is that you weren't playing on version 1.0, which is the only version in which flame cancel is possible.
and the least likely posibility is that you are SO horrendously bad at the game that you were unable to press the b button before landing from a jump.
i hope this has helped.

Hey Tourneyplay guy, wont be able to come to tommorow's port orchard event, so you dont have to pick me up or anything. Im pretty sure this has been the only weekend where I havent been to an event lol - its like my mind is set on a weekly smash schedule haha and my fingers were ready to play today.
Ill inform you in the future about the one in Pasco and if you're going over there or not (we could meet and go on train possibly? dunno for now, the idea just shot in my head just now)
Congrats on Jumpfreak getting first and Touk for second, I want to play you guys at the next gameclucks.

TourneyPlay guy said they've only partnered with only one gamecrazy district, and all of those gamecrazy stores are really not that close to a lot of players unfortunettly. Hes tried to partner with other districts, but they arent that interested in the whole competetive/tournament/money idea - so hes trying to make these events as big as possible to convince other gamecrazy districts to partner with Tourneyplay.
Actually i think he has another district on board....but thats around yakima...which is like 3 hours from the main seattle -ish area. I hear some Eastern WA guys are interested in going to those.

Hey all. The tourneys have been going fairly well. Not as many players as we would like, but we can't expect everyone to go to every event. Plus... as it's been said, they're kind of far for most of the players. Each event has been getting finished around 6:00PM at the latest. That was with 16 players, best of 3, double elimination on 2 systems.
Just to clarify, I've got a deal with 1 Game Crazy district so far. That district includes:
Poulsbo, Port Orchard, Bremerton, Shelton, Lakewood, Lacey, Olympia, Centralia, Hermiston, Pasco, Union Gap and Yakima. I know it's, a wierd district. I'm working on the Seattle area district where there's about another 12 stores. I'm sure the locations would be better for 90% of you. We'll keep you posted.
Meanwhile, pick a couple of our events closest to you and come try to win the cash. (=
Thanks for all the interest.
Oh... and I was finally able to cut up the last few videos of Touk vs. Jumpfreak. I'll post those soon for all to enjoy. That was a fantastic match!!!

So sorry ARTIFICE. The store manager thought more players would be able to attend if he pushed the start time out a few hours. I hope you still make it, but I would understand if you wanted to hit the road a bit earlier.
