Smash Ace
We have the sooner room reserved for March 17th!
Now that the room is payed for, Monday I'll be calling some of the pizza places and making orders in advance. Now that I think about it, we need a volunteer to go get the pizza, depending on where it's ordered I suppose (probably in Norman somewhere), since I will be setting up the room.
It's getting to crunch time people. If you haven't registered yet (again, I wiped the list clean, so message me, get me on AIM, or post) do so so I'll know how much pizza to order!
Mission Statement:
Recently one of my fellow smashers and I were talking about what would be a good way to get a lot of our players together AND to help introduce new players/SWF member to the game, the community, and so on.
So we had the idea that we should have a designated day where everybody gets together that can and have it be LIKE a tournament setting. Lots of tv's, lots of people, good players, except no brackets, no entry fee (unless its an expensive place we get), and no real stress. It probably won't affect your power ranking for you PR holders. Assuming we get enough donations, there will be food and drinks!
Where: 660 Parrington Oval Norman, OK 73019
Basically, any directions that take you to OU will get you there... HOWEVER, OU is freaking HUGE... if you look on a map (mapquest, google earth,etc.) you'll see Boyd street intersects Asp... asp is where the Student Union is, and that's where you want to go. If you're not familiar with OU, you'll probably need additional directions, so PM me and I'll give you my cell number so you can call me when you get close.
Okay, the Sooner Room is Room #151. I also found a couple of maps.

This is the first floor of the union. The Sooner Room is on the top left.

This is a map to get to the building. The important thing to notice is Boyd and Asp streets.
Here's how it's going to work.
You dont have to be there "on time" it'll simply have a starting time and a ending time. 10 AM-11 PM
Ranked players that have registered will most likely have some kind of cheesy name sticker thing that includes: handle, PR ranking, characters, and maybe real name, etc. So any player that's more interested in specific characters can talk to/watch them. (Somebody look for these for me, I'm kinda limited as far as places I can look)
We will be having Tv's for the top 5-10 Power Rankings holders, that will switch off with 6-10 and 11-16 and so on (at least for a while, theres no sense in trying to make people play for longer than they want without a break)
UPDATE!
Basically. I have decided that the way it's going to work is; seeing as how we're going to have anywhere from 7-9 or so tv's, and about that many cubes, and we don't have an abundance of either tv's or 'instructor level' players. When the room opens at 10, myself and whoever is with me (Probably Alex and some of our crew) we'll set up our stations, then start playing. There should probably never be more tv's than players so that should be fine.
I want to emphasize that everybody who will be being watched and have a tv should encourage those watching them to ask questions. Or if you're playing someone, if you see them do something wrong (repeatedly mind you) to point it out (Paemon's not allowed to do that, lol)
I think that every hour or so we should have some exhibition matches. Where two ranked players will play each other. This accomplishes two things. One, Pablo is wanting to make a promotional video and he needs recent footage, so these will be recorded (I have my own vcr and I'm hoping Zinth will still bring his camera. Two, the people that have been watching them can see them apply the things they tell them. I say we do these one at a time mostly, so that the other ranked members can give a commentary maybe, like if I'm watching Brett tear someone up with falco, I can tell other people what he's doing and why he's doing it.
And I have to add, though this is focused towards newer players, several of us plan on going OOS in the up-coming months and need our share as well.
ANYBODY is free to post suggestions on this page about ideas, if they can help with setups, anything.
I also encourage all of the oklahoma players that frequent the boards to PM new members that look like they might be interested. Or Pablo to do it at least : P

Again, this isn't really for what characters you're good with, just the ones that you'd be most helpful with.. for instance i also play falcon and marth but i probably wouldnt be able to help other people with them much.
