I'm curious how far players from these states will travel in order to attend a tournament. I'm aware that size will play a huge part in a final decision but I ask because I've been wondering if there is ever a weekend that smash had literally no event in our areas, if anyone would travel to north Jersey. Mainly my house or area is what I'm referring to.

It's not difficult for me to host an event, or at least get a venue. My house can support a large crowd for smash and I could possibly get a venue for cheap too. This would only be if there was nothing going on, mainly in NJ or close by NY. I just wanted to know if I should ever bother. My town is Montague in case anyone wants to mapquest or google maps it before a response.

Some thoughts are appreciated.

I could catch a ride with Brandon or Izumi if you were to ever hold something up there.

i dont have a car

if i did, i would have traveled to multiple midwest tournies, pittsburg, north nj, and md/va tournies by now

I've had my license for 4 years and i hardly mind driving

 

[BIGM1994]

if its 30min or less i can maybe come

 

[BleachigoZX]

You live somewhat near me, so it isn't a problem if it is in state.

OoS is what I can never attend.

Yes, I've been having car issues till recently so I know how its annoying not to have one.

It wouldn't be. Im like an hour and 30 from you.

I think I'm pretty far from you too,but if in state is what matters then cool.

 

[Inui]

I'd go to your place for a tournament.

If it was on a Saturday during December or January then there is a possibility I would go for the end. (get there at like 7/730)

 

[Kaiber Kop]

K thx for the feedback.

 

[BleachigoZX]

So are you?

Putting EC in the title btw will help. I'm sure you know this already but I'm just reminding you.

 

[Kaiber Kop]

No, It's only if there is nothing going on in our area. I just wanted to ask now in case I ever plan something. It's very easy to get a venue over here, or use my house. If I did use my house there would be basically no venue fee. I would only charge one to encourage setups.

Well us NJ school kids don't have school on Nov 7/8. (Doom, I/Bro, Kingz/BigM, and thats it...wow there really aren't much of us youngsters)

Just letting you know.

 

[Kaiber Kop]

That'd be cool but I'll be at Battle Royal on the 7th

If it was on a Saturday

Woah woah woah... You can do stuff on Saturday now?

Kai I have no problem driving around North Jersey. I do have a problem driving around middle of nowhere where there's more bears than people. Seriously though I'm lazy and my travel time cap is around 30-40 minutes while google maps is telling me you're 70-80 =-(. My limit is honestly around lake hopatcong on 80 or vernon on 23. Past that is farm country where I'll only go if I'm not the driver.

Definitely understandable.

 

[blakinola]

The issues arise when the venue is in a place not easily accessible by public trans. I know a lot of smashers younger than me that have cars, and that definitely helps.

I've always considered renting a car--(but that's mad pricey already, even if it's split)

Worse comes to worst, I will go back to my parents house in DE and borrow the car for Sat-Sun. But it would cost people riding in the car money for gas and ****.

 

[Kaiber Kop]

There is a train station 15min away.

After it is dark out I'm allowed to do stuff.

id go to your house. hosting mid sized tournies like that is pretty good. i hosted one once with 18 ppl in singles and 6 doubles teams i think and it ran really nice in my basement, as long as u get exp'ed ppl to help. if inui goes obvs he will co run it with u.

the nice thing about venues is when they are like near fast food + restaurants and public trans

Yeah I wouldn't expect anything big. My basement is essentially another floor to my house since it's carpeted, insulated, has a air hockey table(real one, not ****ty plastic), Pool table(real one ), and foozball(however it's spelled). I'd clear all that to a section of the basement and use the rest. It can fit about 50 comfortably but I wouldnt expect that many to show. 30 max would be my guess

I agree 100% about the food thing. Unfortunately, there is nothing within walking range. If people didn't want to drive there is always the pizza delivery option(like doom uses).

 

[Crizthakidd]

your basement sounds a lot like mine, and if people drove to your house, then they are prolly okay with driving to a place to eat within 8 minutes O_o''

make a new thread once u got a plan, i wonder how far bridgewater is from ur place (expects ur next post to tell me this ;0 =D )

The closest place is less than 5min away(Pizza place).

I doubt I'm doing anything soon. I'd only host if there was a lack of an event. With max's, battle royal, inuis, and powerplay there isnt a saturday without something planned. If I do have something ill give plenty of notice though.

Bridgewater is about an hour and 15min away

You're not going to Hell if you enjoy your Saturday like the rest of the human race does, dude...

Lol fictional locations combined with fear = control.

No thank you.

 

[EmuKiller]

One thing I will say is that when I had about 14-18 people in my basement (around that, right?) and it got really hot. Like tournament level hot. And it smelt like tournament for the next day. And because it was so hot I had two dehumidifiers running and then we blew a fuse and had to no longer have the dehumidifiers on. Other things to note is that I felt totally awkward for having BigM and Kingz over my house, and my parents now think I'm a pedophile.

 

[daisho]

Weird, cause when I had a smashfest and only BigM, Kingz, Remix and a friend came over my parents didn't think I was a pedophile...

Can't believe I never saw this until now... I agree 100%. Problem is I have parents and they control if I can use their car and whatnot. Next year I'll be in college so I can do whatever I want.

 

[EmuKiller]

Yeah, my parents really shelter me like that, I guess it's pretty unorthodox.

Oh man. I crack myself up.
