Ok, i think thats enough of those crap.
I don't know how many times i need to say this, but i'll say it again. I AM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO SCHEDULE TOURNAMENTS.
It seems to me like theres no pleasing some of the people in the smash scene. If u were the TO, what would u want to see happen? the main thing EVERYONE has told me is lowering venue fees... wow **** really? Do people honestly think that i can just wave a magic wand and make venue fees go away? Sure i can tell everyone ok... venue is now free, we can have 1 massive tournament and that will be it for the rest of the year... or two... at least until CVGA recovers from being in debt.
For the first 2 OV tournaments, melee has reaped the benefits of having lowered venue fees because CVGA had paid to cover the cost. at OV3 and OV4 most of the venue fee was covered by people playing SF4, without SF4 we wouldn't even be able to host these tournaments.
Jack has told me the melee players' main problems are:
1) not enough time to practice
2) venue fees to high
3) location is far
1) there are plenty of setups, arrive earlier for casuals and use them
2) venues get reduced for people that bring setups and pre-register, there may be further reductions for OV5 but that requires there to be good attendance numbers
3) can't help ya... transit to UBC is amongst the best there is in vancouver, there are multiple buses that take you to the UBC loop... if students that live in POCO, Surrey, Burnaby can make it to school every morning... so can you.
If there are anymore issues please bring them up.
Also: heres one of my complaints... after OV3, not a single melee player (save adam i think...) offered to help clean up and move the CVGA equipment back to the sub... instead CVGA had to do everything themselves.
