Pro Impact BI-WEEKLY Smash XXVI
Pro Impact BI-WEEKLY Smash XXVI
We will be hosting our twenty-sixth bi-weekly smash session on Sunday, November 18th, 2007.
For review:
Entry Fee: $5.00
Date: Sunday, November 18th, 2007
Time: 1:00 PM
Place: #1, 103 Huntington Prk Grn NW
Contact No.: 403-869-3971
We hope to have everyone here for about 1:00 in the afternoon which should give us enough of a morning to prepare for the arrivals. As it is in my nature to be a hospitable host, I will do my best to ensure that no smasher goes dehydrated, however thanks to continued contributions to the Pro Impact Treasury, most of the gratitude for the refreshments is owed back to the players. Additionally, we typically have a variety of deliciously hedonistic snack foods available for all those who attend, too!
The $5.00 entry fee you pay to enter the tournament grants you both passage into our house for a day as well as a position in the double elimination bracket for SSBM Singles; the Doubles tournament is free and tends to be less competitive anyway. If there's a big enough spread of players from North Calgary and South Calgary, we might even have a crew battle. The winner of the Singles tournament takes home half the pot comprised of all the entry fees and the other half goes towards the aforementioned Pro Impact Treasury, the fund that keeps ProImpact.ca and the bi-weeklies themselves financially afloat.
The entry fee is purposefully kept quite low and with a 16-player tournament, the winning pot is still only $40.00, which is hopefully enough to keep it competitive while still maintaining a casual and friendly environment. It is important that the tournament is accessible by everyone and that the cost is low enough that a brand new player won't be discouraged from coming based on the pretense that they have to win.
The telephone number above rings straight to my cell phone from a Calgary area code and I accept calls 24 hours a day...even from total strangers...so if you find yourself having nightmares at 4 in the morning and waking up in a cold sweat because you're not sure whether or not you can counterpick Rainbow Cruise at the next bi-weekly, have no fear! Just give me a ring and I'll roll haphazardly out of bed to answer your call. Maybe.
We would like to know who is attending before 1:00 actually rolls around as well, just in case we end up trying to seat 35 people who didn't sign up in one 3-bedroom home. So, if you would like to attend, please post here!
There will be a 16 player cap on this event and I will post the names of the confirmed and unconfirmed attendees below. If you find that all of a sudden it's Sunday and the bi-weekly starts in half an hour but you're still on the "unconfirmed" list, don't even worry about it. Unless we already have 16 confirmed players and another 6 on the waiting list before you, I'm sure we can find space. The player cap can stretch a little bit in either direction to best accomodate each tournament if necessary.
If there's nothing else, we'll see you all when you get here!

Randall i will be there, this one might get pretty full or at least have a decent turnout by the sound of things.
Heh, Stevo, yeah I remember that. It was too bad we couldn't meet up. I think it had to do largely with me missing my PMs, since I didn't log into the boards for like a year at one point. By all accounts you're way better than me now, so maybe it's a good thing we can't play now. 
I was surprised just to find ANY Calgary smashers around, let alone anyone who was going to be able to give me a good match.
I'm from the south too, don't forget. But I'm only ever really present in spirit, it seems.

Pro Impact Players Forced Out of Home to Strengthen Calgary Housing Market
But for smashers in town, a bright future sits on the horizon...
CALGARY -- Popular bi-weekly Super Smash Bros. Melee tournaments may have to be cancelled in light of recent news from property owner Trent Praski. His six-unit, low-wealth housing complex in Huntington Hills is currently undergoing major renovations as a part of a larger community revitalization plot for the piece of land upon which it sits.
The site is home to Calgary's Pro Impact BI-WEEKLY Smash, the cornerstone of the local competitive smash community, and additionally serves as shelter for the Pro Impact Players: RJM, JIN & MICH. Three other tenants in the apartment complex have already vacated the premises and the Players themselves are expected to be out by January 1st of 2008.
"We were initially given a ballpark release date of 'sometime in February,' but that seems to be changing all the time," explains tournament director RJM. "When the date was pushed forward to the end of the year, our plans changed and suddenly the pressure to find a new place to live in less than two months time took over." Early in the week, RJM and MICH scouted out new locations.
"We arranged a deal with another landlord to rent out a newer, larger duplex location in Montgomery," says RJM. "This will be welcome news for smashers like JAPMAN, Koda and, to a lesser extent, the crowd from the south. Although, since the location is about as far west as our last one was north...we may never see John at a bi-weekly ever again!"
Pending a lease agreement disaster, or the unlikely event that their rental applications get rejected, the Pro Impact Players will in fact be moving into their new locale by December 1st, and not January as expected.
On the sudden change of moving date, MICH says, "I'd rather just get it out of the way now and not have to worry about it."
"By securing a new location for December instead of January," explains RJM, "it allows us the security of not having to scramble to find a place at the last minute. The vast majority of rental properties available are looking for either immediate occupancy or occupancy for the first day of the next month. January 1st is neither of those and by agreeing to move in for December, we are much less likely to 'lose' that chance to another renter who has the means to move in before the new year." As it stands, all three Pro Impact Players intend to move in, just a few weeks down the road. JIN could not be reached for comment.
Smashers in town will have the opportunity to compete in the original location one last time this coming Sunday during Pro Impact BI-WEEKLY Smash XXVI. When questioned about the future of competitive smash, RJM says, "The bi-weeklies will be back and better than ever; for now, we're just not sure when."
The Calgary bi-weeklies have been running on a more or less regular basis since October 22nd, 2006.

Anyways; best of luck Randall. I think We should plan for a Crew Battle near melee's end considering Gary, and Jeremy will be out of school for christmas, I assume John has booked some time off, and as always, I'm hardly busy =P

Like the costume, both music selections were made to express my falcons sexual nature; Very Very Gay, but sexy at the exact same time.
I didn't like the music much either. I'm sure there must have been better choices. Like Candy Man or something.
