Will you be running 10 events over an entire weekend?I feel compelled to host The Big House 2 just to show people that it's actually possible to run a big tourney efficiently, unlike a certain recent event.
I support this 200% All the Michigan TOs should collaborate on this. I think we could get something good going.To prove the point, you would need melee and brawl singles and doubles, possibly with a 64 side tourney at a minimum.
The midwest should really have a national tho. I mean. It makes the most sense. We're in between the coasts and Canada could actually show up in pretty large numbers. And the south always have to take planes anyway.
Washtenaw County Fairgrounds Building ARob, try to get a bigger venue and build it up to be a more legit national, like with more than just a handful of WC and Canada. Pound sized. That would be hype, especially since there aren't any nationals on the horizon right now.
I don't understand this logic. Why is it that if you think your major is hard you're in the wrong major? I've never met a physicist in my life who didn't think it was incredibly difficult. Why would I say it's easy? That just means im not taking it seriously. You could ask Stephen hawking what he thinks of physics and I promise you he wouldn't say it's "easy." Only cocky people just say a science is 'easy.' it's as difficult as you make it. If you're in a major that doesn't challenge you then you don't care enough about learningEngineering is pretty easy.
Anyone talking about how hard their major is, is either in the wrong major or just bad at everything. When I say "in the wrong major" I simply mean you're terrible at it and should do something you can handle.
that would be amazingI feel compelled to host The Big House 2 just to show people that it's actually possible to run a big tourney efficiently, unlike a certain recent event.
Wow some people don't know how SOPA is going to ruin the internet? Everyone in this thread, no, everyone in this FORUM should go to that website. Google/Facebook/Twitter/Reddit are all thinking of blacking out their sites for a day in protest of SOPA which would destroy everything the internet stands for (Reddit announced they're doing it 1/18).hey smart people: namely scotu

Should I support this?
I think its stupid to sign a petition for something that I don't have an informed opinion about. But if someone that I trust to make informed opinions has an opinion on it than I feel that its fine.
tl;dr Be smart for me.

Doesn't get any media attention because those who control the media support the bill. Its pretty crazy stuff.
So.....It would for sure be a two-day tourney.
I discussed this with some people before, it's much better to have a relaxed schedule over two days. Allows OoS people to comfortably travel here Saturday morning and comfortably drive back home Sunday night, only forcing them to stay for one night. The Big House's one-day schedule was executed pretty well IMO but obviously things were hectic and most OoS people had to stay for both nights, or resort to driving back home super late into the AMs on Saturday night.
I also think the two-day schedule would allow for Brawl to happen, but that's not a guarantee yet. Something like this:
Saturday
1pm Venue Opens, Registration, Friendlies
3pm Melee Doubles Bracket, Brawl Singles Pools
6pm Brawl Doubles Bracket, Melee Singles Pools
9pm Melee Crews, Brawl Crews
Sunday
1pm Melee Singles Bracket, Brawl Singles Bracket
6pm Smash 64 Singles Bracket
9pm Venue Closes
I feel like there is a lot less overlap between people who enter doubles for one game and singles for the other, so this schedule would hopefully solve a lot of the dual-game entrant problems that come up.
If you do TO, do you mind if I shadow you Tech? I've always wanted to know how to run tournies. Same goes for you too Rob, you guys are really good at running tournies.So.....
Can I call dibs on one of the main Brawl TOs for this if it goes through. 1000% down for this.
You have no idea.
agreed .
I call hacks...Rob is not that fast. brawl minus? Man or its just been that long since I've played.
OH **** THE MUTHA****IN MANN!!I call hacks...Rob is not that fast. brawl minus? Man or its just been that long since I've played.
