Why does this sort of hype not happen to East Midlands tourneys which are probably easier and cheaper to get to? =S

Seriously just over a day and it seems like it has got more hype than any other EM tourney. =[

'The people wanted smash, and so the lord sent Coey, and the people rejoiced, for they had smash.'

Incidentally that was a quote from my bible which is now selling on amazon for the bargain price of £29.95!!

On a slightly more serious note, i believe alot of the hype is due to it being a good weekend for some, especially those who were hoping for some smash that weekend. Also the fact that it is a brand new never been seen before thing to combine both communities in the NW. I'd also like to put it down to the fact that me and joe are both well known and respected players within the community. Also between us we have alot experience with this sort of thing. Also housing!


on an even more serious note!!!!!! confirmed list is something like this is it not;

me
jo3
fuzzyness
tamoo
ryuken
smudge (?)
dooan
trio (if enough brawlers show up :p)

anyone else a definite? oh and brawl is now confirmed!!

Right, I'm going South after this date, so I'm in. I'll definitely enter brawl if it's free, and I'll think about it if there's a pot, but obviously I'll be going for melee.

I would vote against mushroom kingdom 2, but it could be jokes to have on

And as others have said, lol at this becoming a proper tournament in its own right. I don't wanna play fuzzy's falcon again, he knows I hate that matchup =>.<=

how much is everyone willing to pay? remember i am hopefully running 4 events. do you guys want prize money for singles and teams? or just for singles?

basically i cant really charge alot if it cuts entrants dramatically, nor can i fail to charge if some players wont show due to lack of of a prize pot.

my idea atm is charge £3 per singles, £1.50 per doubles, and £1 for venue.

so for example you enter all 4 events then it will simply cost you £10, which will be the maximum.

what do you guys think? i like this idea as it puts a more significant prize money for the events people care more about but it's all up to you *points towards your location!*

theres a fair few brawlers coming now, and instead of say 'ill go if more brawlers go' be ahead of the curve and say 'im booked. come on brawlers!'. I know Brawl is a new game so im gonna let EVERY brawler in on a little secret.

The brawl community... is made up... of people :******:

its not a magical entity which automatically get 5-10 Brawl players there, then you decide if theres enough to book. NO the 5-10 people are the people who actually have the balls to show up regardless.
The amount of tourneys ive seen almost ruined by peeps not knowing whether to book or not (i dont mean one or two, i mean ive seen literally 20-30 people not booking because theres not enough people going rofl) If they all just booked to begin with youd never have this problem now would you rofl.
On top of that your supposedly pretty **** good at brawl right Calzorz? well that means if people see your name they're more likely to book. Whether you like it or not being good at a game makes you a pillar in the community that helps to hold up the entire scene.

I'm really not having a go, its just a lesson you'll learn eventually if you host medium-big events. Ask any decent host and they'll tell you the same thing dude, for freaking book already rofl, its already obvious that the brawl turnout will be around 20, that enough for you, your highness :laugh:

Interest List.

Coey
Jo3
Fuzzyness
Tamoo
Ryuken
Smudge
Dooan
Trio - Wants more brawlers
Willz - has to finish coursework
Blipped Moon - actually this dude should confirm now =o
AmcD - Will know nearer the time
Aiko - will know neaer the time
TC - Dunno but hasnt booked
Calzorz - wants more brawlers

no word from quite a few brawlers, as me and coey arent in the brawl scene (yet) can those of you that are plox spread the word around and direct everyone to this thread, lets make this thing a hotdayum success!!

your course starts on a sunday? or is that just when you move in? usually if you move into uni accomodation at the earliest date then you have 2 weeks until your course will start for reals. first week is sort of freshers but basically lets you get used to being away from home, meeting flat mates, etc.. and 2nd week is freshers plus its also an introductory week.

thats how it was when i started at bolton uni anyways, then jo3 started in my 2nd year and he didnt show up to any of his first 2 weeks haha. dont take my word for it tho... except that the 20th is a sunday ;)

ok i've updated the 1st page again, this time i have included more help regarding travel arrangements.

there is also a section that recommend you all read called 'Regarding Time'. This is a ruling i am putting into place to try and stop friendlies ruining this or causing an event to not take place.

will

oh yea i should really add that to the first page

it's gonna be £3 for each singles event
and then £1.50 for each teams event
and £1 for venue (electricity/housing/etc)

if you enter all 4 events then it will cost exactly £10

edit: i've updated the first page with these figures, for any other info that you need please ask :)

So is this replacing the original NW Brawl monthlies at Gamerbase?

As far as i'm aware Aiko no longer plans to run anymore at the gamerbase, but at some point in the future i think he and smudge plan to start running some sort of monthly event as well. I'm not exactly sure how things are going to end up but personally joining the communities for ranbats seems the better idea. And until anyone else is capable of doing so i'm quite happy to run any ranbat events that the people want.

At this i will probably ask ant and martyn to help as my staff if they are interested in doing so. I will be doing a similar thing for melee having Joe and possibly AmcD or Cpt Smashie to help run those events.

This of course all boils down to who is going to be attending as much as anything, if any of these players cant make it for whatever reason i may ask for a hand off some of the more experienced and capable of you, you have been warned! <3

Just realised this was 2 weeks away rather then 1 week away. Might be able to make this now as my parents weren't going to let me go if it was next week.

I've made a slight adjustment to my ruling about playing frienlies on needed tv's. Now as well you will be removed from all events taking place, including any that you might have finished in a money spot. You will not recieve you money and the results will be fixed accordingly. Also you will also no longer be welcome at the following ranbat. Repeat offenders will recieve permanent bans. This might seem harsh but i want to be able to run all of these events, and i dont want it ruined by nasty, selfish jerks. Naiveity is no excuse that is the whole idea of the 3 stikes. There is no punishment unless you offend 3 times. I will also only remove 1 strike after each tourney so if you get 2 then, next time you will only be able to mess up the once.

my god pllleeeaaassseee stop this ill go if you go, just go, then everyone will go. be a sheperd not a sheep rofl.

we all know your all gonna come, none of us can resist smash haha, if your travelling by coach book asap youll save a fortune =D.

Coeys: ill deffo make sure we fit all 4 events in! if you dont respond to a co-host within 5 SECONDS!!! ill personally turn your game off, if you have a problem with that, well take it outside >_0

----------------------

Also one more point, This is a strange one

Heat: seriously were all warm blooded mammals, so many of us in one room can seriously make the heat unbearable, should this happen ill ask peeps to disperse for a short while rofl, take the bodies out, shove open the windows, takes about 5 mins if that =).

As I am down south for the holidays, I can't make this one.

However as soon as I'm back north for uni you can expect me to be there for every one, can't wait to play the northern lot at melee again.

If Calzorz is coming to this, how does he plan to get there? Train? Andy help me out here lol.

I haven't been to a ranbat in ages and I'm not sure about how much money I have x_x but I figure it's best to start trying to go to ranbats again, and especially meet new people. :B


I also remember a while back I said I was gonna come to a Bolton tourney... so... yeah... x.x;
