Thanks for being nosy, but I had made plans to sort out quite a few personal things during the week, that are indeed rather urgent. Now that I must work until Saturday, I have no time to do them and consequently must do them during the weekend. Looks like I'll be having way less time for smash from now.
Predictable flake is predictable, I am never ever wrong with my statements, you should have looked at my statement when you thought you were coming and said 'Well Prof said im going to flake so I should cease me planning to come' :awesome:

I might do some Melee money matches with people if i get fed up of Brawl cuz im not gonna enter Melee as iv'e gotta protect our country from spains best player winning lololol, jks. But srs bsns am i bringing the MACTOP????
LOL You better not let some random Spainish guy win, I don't play brawl but I will prob watch the GF's (if he's in it) and hyping it and when you take his stock each time I will tell you to cover the spawn points lol :bee:

I dont know if im entering teams yet, dont really enjoy it tbh lol

:phone:
LOL At saying this after teaming with Fuzzy last tournament lol...You wouldn't be feeling like that if you were teaming with me, the BEST TEAM PLAYER IN THE UK and it would become your favourite game mode

Gumtree is really good for stuff like this, you shouldn't dismiss it. It has loads of TVs in the London area.

Just click on the one you want and then either click reply to ad or call them if they give a number

Looks a bit dodgy, but it would be good if legit
very helpful, thank you.

Lol London tournies have always been messy. I say me, you, TC, AD and pro step up to make sure things get done.

Unless this thing has more then 40 ppl theres no reason why pools cant be finished in 2 hours

heres the maths, say 6 people per pool = 15 sets per pool. so between 30-45 games (average 37.5), max game time = 7/8 mins (average 4/5 mins).

So max time is 45x8= 360 mins = 6 hours

average time is 37.5x5= 187.5 = 3 hours 10 mins (roughly)

these calculations are based on a SINGLE TV, so assuming each pool has 2 or 3 tv's its going to take on average 1 hour to 90 mins for all pools to be done. therefore the notion of it taking more then 3 hours is ridiculous
I'm totally up for this, I can be intimidating and install the fear by saying "play your match... NOOOWW!" but I might offend Bullet 'Baby' Bill... :urg:

People shouldn't be getting anything to eat when it's gonna hold them up either. That I can at least understand though, you need to eat. What bothers me is if people are outside getting stoned and making the tournament finish late at night. Put simply- if you want to hang out and get stoned, thats fine, but when it's a smash event then it gets a bit rude
not just smokers, its pretty much everyone... people that want to "warm up", people playing multiple games people watching epic matches, people timing others out during a tournament match....

Who u teaming with at this event? (Alpha dash im guessin)

:phone:
OOC baby! :awesome:

to be fair you cant blame people for wanting to watch a match that WILL be deemed epic. otherwise, yeah theres no excuse

oh yeah, andy one thing i suggest we do for brawl finals
as you know, the commentary for the finals (regardless of who's on it) is always corrupted by background noise. what i suggest we do is we setup your wii on the bit near toilets, so that the commentators can have the walls to their back, that way it wot have any background noise

True if you get someone you enjoy teaming with it can be fun......unreal, me you, double fox, think about it lol
JJL- Teams if you want.

Thats what I mean. the blame cant be designated at one person when the problem is everyone. It just needs to get strict as a whole...
Are London monthlies really this bad at the moment? People watchihng matches instead of playing theirs, warming up? That really is terrible. Things have gotton waay too slack.

If things don't improve I probably won't come up for monthlies in the future as I'm not gonna put in the effort of going all the way to London when I can't even watch the GF, maybe even Semi Finals. I (and a fair few other smashers) need to leave time for the journey back, so I can't really afford to be there till late at night.

I am still coming to this because I really want to play some smash + Joe, Alan are coming but I probably won't come in the future if I know they're just gonna be stretched out because of peoples laziness :(

AD- seriously I'll be doing the same. If people have a match to play then they should be playing it. No excuses

Ohh yeah and also il be up for soem money matches with Brawlers as well this tiem as i usually dont rly money match much at all, but if u want one just give me a shout.

at least we can agree on something. My tournament is going to be so structured. got the venue sorted just need a confirmation date which I should be getting tomorrow.

I may be housing the day before and I'll be able to have up to 5 people. I'll be prioritising people who have housed/ done any favour/ helped me out in any way.

There are so many smashers in Croydon and around the area. Seeing as I'm now in charge of Smash at M&M games on Thursdays I'm gonna be using this opportunity to play both games and get more people into melee.

Roehampton to croydon isn't that far. Takes less than an hour. Do you play melee or brawl?

the only problem is i work full time so its kind of hard for me to always host on request but get at me!
