i can play tank, support, ad, and ap...not very well versed in jungling though. hit me up with your summoner name if you want some halp/games, joshstorm/cactuarz.
i still think it's hilarious that a bunch of OK melee players ran into CT melee players online and the hazygoose namedrops went down.

We could host one fairly easily but I don't think we have concrete plans for one. sars_pirate will be coming back in about a month iirc so that'd be a good time to plan one. I'll have to see what Zinth and Hazygoose think.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Melee... Tournament... in... Oklahoma... This guy right here...
I got tears in my eyes right now... *sniff* Thank you for the laugh, I needed it.
In all seriousness, at this point it would take someone coming from out of town to come here and host one. We have TVs, power strips, connections with various venues and networks, but no one is willing to put forth the effort to actually host an event.
It would take someone like Yawara or Coty to organize and motivate the player base to do a tourney big enough to attract OOS attention.
I'd really like to see one happen in my lifetime, though. It would be NICE.

i somewhat hosted my first tournament. omg it sucked ****. sooooooo many things to account for. I'll share my notes about what i liked about other tournaments
1. don't use binary beast. if somebody asks you to use it, punch them in the face. TIO is idiot proof
2. have a screen dedicated to showing the bracket (her name is emily, right?)
3. as much as i hate admitting it, it actually helps to rally people together and talk about the event/rules beforehand.
4. its okay to have stations labeled, but don't assign people to one. if its open, go for it.
5. have an amateur bracket
I'll think of them as i remember them.

To add to that, Tom:
Don't be afraid to be an *******.
Gamers are selfish, lazy, and love to complain, even when its mostly their own fault. Ninjas are always trying to play friendlies during tournament, taking away precious setups and causing things to take longer.
So it takes someone with balls to keep them in line.
People will whine about there not being enough setups, but will never bring any equipment themselves.
They will wander off without finishing their pools/playing their bracket, leaving organizers to have to hunt them down.
They will wait until the last possible minute to register for the event, even if you offer a discount for early registration, and then complain about the price of entry at the door.
They will gather around the TO desk and constantly ask when their match is when all they have to do is check the bracket, find their opponent, kick the idiots playing friendlies off a setup and play the damn match. Or even worse, mess with the TO computer and **** up the brackets...
Mostly they will constantly complain and complain, and be the single major cause of all the TO's headaches.

TBH, the hardest part about doing tournaments isn't really any of the accounted factors, it's the unaccounted ones like people eating, pools being disorganized, and bracket whiners.
And then there's the really unforeseeable ones like blackouts from too many xboxes being run at Oh Snap to people being stuck in traffic and can't come for another 2 hours.
But crisp organization, making sure people understand situations (players, staff), maintaining some sort of a schedule, and keeping track of inventory with regards to expected turnouts is the best way to make sure any tournament runs smoothly. Cause that's the only thing you can ever control.
That being said, I don't wanna TO ever again. Unless I can keep the entry fee money HOLLA

Yo, what's this I'm reading about M2K going to Japan by himself with only $200, puking on Nietono's futon, essentially ruining it, having to spend half his money on replacing it, and now he's completely broke, and he's only been there for 24 hours... with two and half weeks to go...
WHY HAS NO ONE PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE YET?!
Seriously, he's been doing rude, stupid **** for years, YEARS, and now he's ****ing up USA/Japan relations. Dude needed to be reigned in the moment he decided to leave his man juices all over someone's bed.

Maybe OK could have a set of people who collectively TO? I don't know how feasible that actually is, though, so I'd like for someone with TO experience to comment on the possibility. It seems like it should work, though, but maybe there's something I'm not considering.

This next semester is my last, which means I have a Capstone to worry about. So I'll try to help with TOing and such as much as I can do so.

best TO in the state getting no credit as always.
i'd like to remind everyone about intimikill 1, where 28 players were OOS and 5 were local. gg OK melee, keep complaining about not seeing baller melee tournaments because you missed them.
it's easy for me to pump up and round up our region and the midwest, the problem has always been the flakiness of OK players. i've even had people hit me up personally to ask about tournaments since then, from scenes that haven't been out since ohsnap 2/3 days. but it's not on me to try to save ok's melee scene. i actually already tried and it stagnated, and coming back again i was disappointed to see it turned into everyone waiting and complaining. outlaw's got his crew back into it and is training up young blood, even has 1 person out in michigan on swf now learning with the midwest. will's about brawl. i'm not really here. norman has fallen off the map; no attempted JAMS relation/integration or in any way involving any part of the OU community? i know it's hard after losing forest, brett, and yawara in very dif ways, but did you just let all potential that all 3 who had worked very hard had tried to set up go to waste? and okc has done 0 things in like 3 years, none of you get to complain about the scene, even norman's failings.
we've never been the east coast: traveling is rare, states and regions don't often talk to each other or hype each other's tournaments, and the player base doesn't extend quite as far -> EC gets new players all the time to replace the old schoolers, who still show their face to see old friends now and again. however, we always had ways to make up for it. no one besides me even planned for FC. what happened to planning occasional travels and pumping OOSers there up for our own regional esque tourneys. what happened to the scene that was so active we pissed off our old mentally handicapped SO-MAD mods and got our entire thread banned!?
I warned OK that things would have to be stepped up when i originally vacated the state, especially since coty had left around the same time, and thankfully for the scene there were people like yawara, brett, hanson, and forest ready to do what they could for the scene. but each time the state got deader and deader, and jer here/bryan+karl south are having trouble rekindling the fire for just smashfests. the STD at jer's was great, and old memories resurfaced of 2006-2009 OK smash where STDs were commonplace. it is harrowing to think that the scene is going to stay the way it has been the past year because we've ran out of Coty's, and no one left is interested in reviving the scene because there's so little to work with. it's sad to see the same thing happening to barlw and i really hope it doesn't just because it's such a lackluster and tragic way for a scene to fall - to shrivel up and float around like a ghost, not fully dead but not really doing anything.
this rant is going to lack a conclusion because i need to bounce, but just a reminder to everyone complaining/whining or waiting for me/yawara to do something or even those doing the same as ***** *** hazy over here reminiscing about the past like it's still pertinent: remembering, waiting, complaining - these are all ways to handle the scene, but contain no ways to fix the scene. if anyone wants to plan a smashfest, don't talk about it once - POST EVERY DAY AND PM AND BOTHER THE HELL OUT OF PEOPLE. if anyone wants to host a tournament, don't wait around or subtly mention you're interested - GET OUT AND LOOK AT VENUES AND RULESETS AND GIVE HAZY/SARS/SPAW A CALL OR A PM, NOT A SHOUTOUT ON THE BOARDS. and if you want to revitalize the scene, don't spend your entire smash career making time/job/responsibility johns as often as you can because an event isn't huge enough sans you (ps, it's like voting, there's generally several people who don't commit because they don't think it's going to be a huge event, causing the event not to be huge because it's missing several people) - GO TO WHATEVER YOU CAN AND MAKE THE TIME/USE SOME OF WHAT LITTLE TIME YOU HAVE TO INVEST SOME EFFORT INTO HELPING AND SUPPORTING EVENTS AND THE PEOPLE WORKING ON THEM.
smokey the goose says drink your milk, don't start forum fires or flamewars, and encourages everyone to get high on lombardi. be back in a few days, call me or pm me if you want to play some melee/steam games/card games/anything 3rd-7th gen console gaming that's fun.

I'm willing to TO/help TO. I don't have the experience in TOing for larger tournaments but I know my way around tio. The problem I've had is that I'm not a student at OU so I can't get rooms and, until recently, I haven't lived at a location that could hold large numbers of people. I have a ****tonne of TVs and setups but no one has ever wanted to help me get a room at OU.
No one gives a **** about m2k, either.

Done, just lemme know when and where. I won't ever organize a smash event. I'll play it for fun and stuff but my passion for the game has died ever since I picked up 2D fighters. I've been to EVO for the past 4 years straight and haven't really looked back since.
I'd be interested in holding a tournament involving 2D fighters, but smash...count me out. I still love everyone in Oklahoma though.
