You guys wouldn't have an issue with a Smash 4 event in Youngstown on the same day, would you (different location, different event)? I know this is a Melee event, so I'm hoping there wouldn't be too much population cross.

Nope im not sure theres really gonna be any cross over issues.
only maybe Mav plays smash 4 and kind of melee so he might go to the smash 4 over this.

Okay, thanks guys. btw, if you're ever interested in running a joint event (Melee and Smash 4), let me know. I would like to hold a large event at some point down the road.

Well I don't want to enter this tournament but I'm probably going to come and play friendlies. If you're not okay with this then you can physically remove me from the venue, but I don't see why my presence would be a big deal.
