noob tourney

i was thinking of doing a tournament where only non-ranked people are invited

it'd be like $3 entry fee

also since i'm hosting and i'm ranked there is a obvious contradiction

so there are like 3 options, you guys can vote

1. i dont enter
2. i enter but dont receive any amount of the pot regardless of my placing
3. i can only use low/bottom tier characters. im a top tier *****, but i bet i could still beat a lot of people (;

check the social room for the thread

I think the unranked tournament sounds like a fun idea; though I don't know how much attendance you'll get. I'd guess it'd be a 16-man tourney. I won't be here at that time anyways.

@Stab-Yeah, I wanna play today (Wednesday). You or anyone else down?

cam i got bored in class on monday and wrote a page on sheik vs puff
its the whole matchup from sheik's perspective, tailored to your style

**** it is such a good summary of the matchup, also helped me realize that if i mess up 4 times i lose the game, but if i dont i win automatically. pretty dangerous/fun matchup, tests your concentration and patience

now i have no unranked weaknesses, period. =D

people don't know this, but if everyone from socal decided to travel every weekend, you'd realize our total competitive audience is easily over 100. some are in retirement, some forget to check the boards, some simply dont go outside their area code. but there are a ****load of smashers all over the place.

everywhere i go there are smash players, especially melee ones, but they dont know about smashboards or where to find out about tournaments, or they go to one but don't have the drive to get better and travel every weekend. if things are convenient enough they will go, ie if we host a tournament at UArizona, a LOT of UofA randoms will show up.

this was slightly off topic but there will be a lot more than 16 people thats for sure

and im gonna see you friday right? lol





smashboards is the perfect distraction when you have to study

Yeah, I'll be here Friday still. How would we get everyone from SoCal to go to a tournament if they don't check the boards though? Would we advertise around college campuses like IVC, Saddleback, Orange Coast, UCI, etc.? Also, would we allow those who were, by definition, unranked join as well? Like, for example, could Ken join the tournament? If it's big enough, I might jump on a plane and fly down here for the weekend. ;) So far my schedule is classes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and that's it.

lol that's why i said it was off-topic. i dont think the tournament will be big enough for you to fly down, but yeah advertising at colleges/high schools/other online forums is ****

i think the mere fact that other people have a very good chance of getting money will bring more people than usual. just saying it's very possible that 30 people show up even with the absence of 10 regular attendees.

yes, anyone not currently ranked as of july 19th is allowed to enter.

ken wouldnt go anyway, but even if he did would anyone say no to ken actually attending a tournament? not me, **** even i would like to **** play ken. manacloud could come lol. but man if our unranked players can't beat him then we have a lot of work to do (pretty sure they'd **** him tho)

And even perhaps if you started off with only, say 30 people, it could grow into a larger thing. Perhaps we might even be able to add to the Melee community. *shrugs* You should study though.

Anyone down for smash today though?

indeed, i dont understand why TO's don't reach out to broader audiences. DBR / Hyuga or Champ / Neal could easily take the competition and attendance to the next level, seeing how many entrants they get ONLY through AiB and Smashboards. Hugo / Reggie are the first people to really take action on this, which is partially why they are getting so many props (aside from the amazing venue and ridiculous amount of TVs + setups they've acquired). It's miraculous that the community has survived this long without purposeful advertising.

If I were a bum I would definitely try to do that. Right now I have academic stuff that comes first, but it's my dream that we get back to MLG status instead of simply being sad that the game isn't at that level right now.

I will definitely try to gain bigger and bigger recognition of smash tournaments. I don't plan on having just one of these and ending it there. Really the hardest thing is to just find a good, reliable venue. The rest is easy.
