I was thinking about hosting a tournament at my house for melee lately but I wasn't sure about a few things so I want to ask here to see how the outcome will be along with the other problems I'll possibly have for hosting this.
1. How many people would actually be able to come out to the east side of long island. I know not many people play around here and most players live on the west side of LI. The address is
18 kimberly ct manorville NY 11949 if you want to see how far east it is.
2. TV's Wii's/Cubes, Melee Disc's and Chairs. If people were to come to this I would need all/most of these to be brought. The tournament will be played in my basement of my house. This will be able to hold probably up to 30 people maybe a little more. At the moment I own 2 tv's play on and 1 Wii with melee. I also have 6 couches which altogether can hold probably 13 people and a few chairs maybe 2-5. I could possibly grab chairs from the upstairs givin that my parents let me take them. (which i probably would be able to). If they let me take them i should have about 6-10.
3. This would be my first tournament. So if anyone knows a site where I can make brackets could you post it in this thread or PM me.
4. The Venue and Price for melee. I was thinking 5$ for venue and 5$ for melee I was talking to some people and was thinking about how to feed the people that comes. This is up to you. My mom is actually a decent chef. She can cook literally anything. I could get her to make food and charge you maybe 1$ for something? I'll buy soda that will be free I'm not trying to steal your money here, But every dollar i make from venue/food I'm putting it all towards chairs and tv's for hosting another one, meaning (I won't be keeping any of the money). Now if you don't want homeade food thats completely reasonable. There's 2 pizza stores (Prima stella's and Michelangelo's) as well as a Mcdonalds 2 miles from my house.. There's also a King Kullen in the same spot as these 3 stores If you just want a little snack or something else.
Well for now that's all i need to say let me know your opinions and let me know if you would actually come out to this. I can definitely confirm that i can get 5-10 people to automatically come to this. Hopefully this will get bigger and I can start hosting monthlies.
If people like this idea please help me decide a date for this I'm not sure if i should start this in June or July. If I were to do this in June it might have to be on a weekday since almost every week in June I'm busy with school/graduating plus my job.
