I don't mind trying to set up smym8
and learning how to set up brackets
teach me the great and powerful andy
i just need to know where it was help and who i have to talk to and etc... that way i can set it up every year after
also, I don't really mind brawl, i just play it as a leisure thing
if anyone is still up for melee i'll play
i realized there's a lot of infinites in this game depending on the stage
and no power shield makes lasers really really annoying

Andy was joking about the 50 dollar thing...he meant to say make the check out to Matt Radovich, and 10 bucks is fine
anyways, ya i agree with durand, I like to play brawl but I just prefer melee

Brawl actually does look like fun sometimes... but Wiis cost more than fifty cents, and are thus more than I am willing to spend on anything. 'Cept that joke fee.
I'm too lazy to learn new strategies for a new game anyway.
Teach me brackets too!

Actually, I think tio does all the hard work for you. So instead of learning how to do brackets, you have to learn how to use tio.

Okay- I am not going to be attending school for the first couple of months (likely until mid-November). This may cause some confusion so let us work this out right now.
For Quad Day-Trossman if you want to you can still help coordinate the University to get things worked out as far as location and set up. I would also suggest talking to the people at Game Stop to see if they want to help out at all. Let them know you are with Smashing Illini.
Make sure we have a sign up list for positions if you do host it. This list should still be on the facebook group page. We need a treasurer and other positions filled. We need to see who else is available to work that day at quad day to look over the tent/ area. Also we need to know if we can get a table, television, cords and all that other good stuff. I know it seems like a hassle, and I'm upset I can't be there, but the group really needs this. So if people want to step up and help out, please do.
Also, for game night, who wants to be the contact I forward the organizer to? I want this to happen, and this will be really good for the group, and I'm furious I wont be able to attend. It will be a legitimate University funded thing. We should do fliers- Durand, make sure we get those fliers you made out and about. You should hand them out at the table and make sure they are posted around the quad.
If anything can think of anything else that needs organizing let me know, I want to help as much as I can. I am going to be helping to run a campaign for someone running for congress, so I wont be able to be at school for the first couple of months, in case anyone was wondering why I wasn't going to be at school.

Unfortunately, my lease is up soon and I'm leaving to go home tomorrow so I won't be in the area until the 18th. After that I'll do what I can to try and get this smoothed out, but I'm not really sure what that is. I can talk to the Gamestop guys about the tourney setups around then too. The early year tourney is going to be brawl right? I think that's for the best since we're less intimidating at that game.
brickman
Smash Lord
Jon, just make sure that we get the information that we are suppose to from the University and talk to the people at GameStop. See what they will offer and what they want to provide.
The tournament should most definitely be brawl, but at least one set up should have melee- show them kids what talent is.
I am going to forward the woman in charge of organizing game night to talk to you.

Well, from the looks of that a smash kiosk doesn't look possible because it would "impede the flow of traffic". I don't think it's a huge loss, we can still play by ourselves and ignore everyone else.
brickman
Smash Lord
we should totally do those hand out things. I'll throw down some money, Durand help out with the design. Also, if any of you wouldn't mind, could you help out bringing things/ cash to fund some of the sillyness?
You might be able to do a kiosk if you were to move the setup a couple meters away from the sidewalk--although you lose visibility that way. Not that I even know what the point of this Quad Day smash thing is.
brickman
Smash Lord
Fun, ground breaking, plain sillyness.
Can you name an instance where you saw someone playing video games on the quad? I can't. Not to mention the fact we will probably be working with Game Stop, we will certainly be noticeable. Also, this will be a good primer to stir up interest for the game night that will occur a couple of days after.
I think it is pretty important at least...

No, don't advertise our weekly smashfests. We don't need a bunch of people swarming us and not bringing setups or even controllers when we never have enough setups anyway.
Advertise the game night, whenever that is. That's the one time we're going to have the capacity for extra people.

Quad day will also be an opportunity to reach out to people and to educate them. They will get a pamphlet, or a lecture on smash manners. They will learn to bring their own controllers and to bring set ups. This is a time for informing people not worrying about how to maintain our tiny group.
Anyways, we will maintain private gaming sessions.
We will make public ones for all the newbies and they can provide for themselves.

I agree we should tell them to bring their own sh it, but I doubt many of them ever will. The game night is the most important thing to advertise.
brickman

Agreed.
Jon, did that woman contact you at all, or should I make sure that game night goes through? I was planing on doing that anyways.
Also, I think we should make sure that the people that want to get together and play have the ability to do so. I don't think they should play directly with us, because, lets be honest, they mostly suck, but I do think that they should feel involved.
If we have enough set ups, and if they bring their own, I think they should be able to play with each other on those set ups and compete with and amongst each other. Every so often, if they should feel so, they could challenge us to see if they can make it. If they can play with us, all the better, let them join in. But I also think it is important for the two groups to be more than a training grounds and the main event. They should be interactive and informative.
I think game night, along with quad day will give us ample opportunity to explain the goals, at least my goals for the club, and talk about future events.
Edit: Jon, could you please update the first post of this thread to reflect coming events. New people are directed to the first page, and they should get the most recent information possible. Thanks!

If you guys want to learn how to do brackets from Andy, by all means do so. I would appreciate, as I'm sure everyone else would, some other people with the capability to run brackets. Tio I think is a program that creates brackets.
Robin, I think we will probably need some help in keeping the booth in order for Quad Day. Probably getting people to sign up, seeing if they are interested, although I will certainly be talking to them as well. I would greatly appreciate your attendance at Quad day, as well as everyone else.

tio is what everyone uses these days. No one uses paper brackets for big tourneys anymore.
http://www.nealpro.com/
It's fairly easy to use. I think you can enter skill level and location for entrants, so that people don't play their buddies first round and such.
I'm pretty sure I will be free and in attendance for the tournament, so that I can get 4th place. =\ Eric, have you worked out some # of setups with them? Do you know to what extent they are planning to provide 'em? TVs more so than Wiis.
