Mission Statement

This thread is dedicated to the discussion of two crews in Texas. The purpose of these crews is to promote travel and increase competition in Texas without adherently promoting pointless drama that is often associated with the seperation of any group of competitors. I hope to give people more to work for and provide more entertainment at tournaments to keep people coming back. Hopefully, this will increase tournament attendance all over texas as well as the overall skill level. If you want a spot on one of the crews, you're going to have to be good.

How the crews will function

Both crews will consist of 10 players each with 5 alternates if available. The crews will have one captain and that person will decide who is on the crew, who goes first, etc. They will have the final say for everything though it is recommended for them to discuss everything with their respective crews. The NT and ST crews will be composed of various players from cities in the North and South parts of Texas. You can find which cities will be available for the captains to choose players from in the second post of this thread. The crews can and will fluctuated between each tournament they are at at the captains disgression. There will also be a Co-Captian assigned to take the place of the Captain if he is not present. The captain may also let the co-captain take over if they want. If neither the Captains or the CoCaptains are present at a tournament then the crew battles will not take place.

The amount of wins either crew has over each other will be kept track of in the second post as well as the current roster.

Rules
The full ruleset for these crew battles is pending but it will be SBR certified with maybe a few minor alterations to adhere to the crew battle setting.

How crew battles work

Both captains will write down their crew roster on a piece of paper. They must put the players character beside their names as well as who will be sent out first.

If you are being sent out against someone or first then you must play the character listed by your name. If you win and the person the opposing crew sends out against you decides to counterpick a stage then you are allowed to change characters. If they decide to not counterpick a stage and do stage striking instead then you must stay your current character.

Stocks must be divided evenly. Each crew will have 30 stocks.

Once your crew is out of stocks, you lose. Simple as that.

Closing Statement

I did not think of all of this by myself. This idea was sparked from others so I thank them even if this isn't what they intended to happen. I look forward to these crew battles and I hope the rest of you do as well in good spirits. If you oppose any of this then that is fine. Please be civil though. I would like to give thanks to all the tournament hosts in Texas. I know how hard it can be to run a good tournament. We need more of you and appriciate everything you are doing for our smash scene. Keep it up.

Ok, we need to discuss what cities NT and ST can pick from as well as the captains.

I was thinking something like:

ST: Houston/Austin/San Antonio/Everything below austin
NT: Waco/Dallas/San Angelo/El Paso/Everything above Waco

Thoughts?

As for captains I would like to be the Captain of the ST crew :). I absolutly love crew battles and I have a lot of experience with them. I'm not biased at all and will pick the BEST people for the crew as well as develop the best strategies. If you feel someone is more qualified then feel free to say so. For NT I would suggest Dojo/D4ba/DMG. I have no idea who I would want the cocaptains for either crew to be though.

Also, the first NT vs ST meeting will be at FS5 :).

The rules will be SBR certified which means no bans or limits on chaingrabs/locks etc.

I doubt we will do it for money unless you guys really want to. It's more of a pride thing I think.

good idea, but it kind of sucks that so many people will get left out of this. only 10 people, which will likely be the same 10 people over and over so a lot of people won't get to experience this.

This is very true. I'm kind of hoping people will try REALLY hard to get better so they can play on the crews. If anything it will probably be more entertaining then the finals and people can cheer others on.

Also, the captains may be forced to choose different people if not enough top players show up to a tournament :).

It won't always be the same 10. Not everyone goes to every tournament, and then there's the 5 alternates as well, adding to some diversity. If you improve or do really well you can discuss w/ the members and see if they consider that you deserve being on one of the lists.

It could be done for money if we really wanted to, but pride works too :p

ST: Houston/Austin/San Antonio/Everything below austin
NT: Waco/Dallas/San Angelo/El Paso/Everything above Waco

Thoughts?
Wasn't this agreed upon as the most evened out variant of a Texas split for NT and ST?
It looks like a good separation though.

I love crew battles alot, watching them back in Melee was always my favorite pastime, second being team battles. It just gets me excited.

I'll try my very best to get on the ST crew if SA is to be a part of that region (which I don't doubt, since we are modestly south).

Good shiz Hylian, this is going to be so awesome. Oh, and money crew battles are okay and all, but the entire "pride thing" will be just as awesome. Either way, really.

I troll when I play Melee.

Also, Hylian's fairly objective and rational when it comes to crew battles and sending players out. He leaves his ego out of the expression. Definitely a good candidate for leadership of the ST crew.

My vote goes for D4ba for NT aswell. Will this be after the singles tournament? I would like it to be so i can have the chance to prove if i could be in NT or not. Me and/or Error would might be the closest to be in from EL Paso

I'm sure King Mosquito would be ok with a 10v10 crew battle in Melee at FS5, but I don't think Hylian or the back room really cares about Melee. =/

Actually, we do. We have another SBR room open dedicated to melee in the melee section. Part of it is readable to the public as well. We are currently working on a pretty big project in there :).

I would LOVE to see some melee crew battles going. I doubt I'm good enough to even be in one but melee crew battles have to be the most entertaining thing in smash. It seems easily possible to have at least draft crews with an entire day devoted to melee. Melee will go faster then brawl :).

Edit:

If you guys want a melee ST and NT crew thing as well then I'm all for that :p. It's just a LOT harder because melee attendance is so low :(. If you can find 20-30 people willing to start hosting and traveling for melee then we can do the crews for them to :).

hurrah! hylian cares about el paso! In the last thread no one mentioned us at all =\.

I always thought crew battles involved money but people probably won't win much. Unless to form some sort of gambling system then the pot could get bigger with more than 20 people contributing but thats probably ilegal.

If you wanna do Melee crews, DMG has got your back. I know of some Waco guys that would LOVE to play Melee, and getting something like that started would be a great incentive for them to travel.

im from San Antonio
i havnt been able to really show any type of full potential at the tournies ive gone to due to the fact that my wii got stolen prior to the first gamelot tourny i attended
i have, and have had, a new wii for quite some time now and ive been working my *** off to do good at the FS5 tourny
i hope that i can be some kind of an asset to the ST crew
Its kinda hard to show any of my skill due to crappy online, but if anyone wants to test me im down. :)

i was wondering, does anyone have any detail on the recruitment of the NT ans ST crews?

I was about to say the same. I think a preliminary roster should be started by the NT and ST captains, to be edited later on as needed, just to start hyping it already :p

i think that the recruitment should be somthing like this:
1. You nominate the Captain and co-Captains
2. The people, that are trying out, get into groups decided by the state in which they live
3. The Captain and co-Captain test and rate the players from 1-10 and the highest ranks get in
while the others get better

this naturally would take about forever and a half so i guess you could test like 5-10 people from every state that is trying out =/

just spitballing here

If your wondering about ST, it's pretty much a guarantee that Hylian would be captain. He has more knowledge of our state then anybody and has PLENTY of crew experience from his out of state travels.

For actual members, alot of it is a given:
-Houston has plenty of worthy players, but idk too much about them after the Roy Stiltz Sethlon. Again Hylian or Sethlon (a good co captain nominee) would know this.
-Austin has 3 players in Hylian Phantom and Pozerwolf (Again, Hylians got it covered since he lives there)
-San Antonio has Espy. ZSdk and KPrime are possibles, but then again idk how houston would affect that.
-The valley just doesnt travel so nobody really knows how good their players are

Thats my take on ST.
