Hmm not too sure if its worth going through with this or not now. Ben can't make it. Dan may be able to if he can get a lift but if he did it would be late xD.

So that leaves me, L-j and crabman haha

Yo James i'm bringing 2 other smashers along to this so that'd make 5 which is more than we've had when we've gone all the way down to Southampton xD. Sean if you're still up for driving over here (which ain't that far really) then we should go ahead and have a few games now that it's been arranged and all. 5 ppl is plenty to have some games/BANTER etc. Your call though guys.

Joe man i'd love to be able to get up there, I did see it was happening from Will's thread and it looks like you've got a fair few people going as well which is great. Problem is I just can't travel anywhere now for smash before I go to uni. Quite a few reasons but mainly rents being very anti-smash (especially travelling across the country to play even though often it's the only way I CAN play :/) and money. But I guarantee I will get up to a Manchester/Bolton tourney/fest as soon as I realistically can. I really wanna play all you guys again :).

Gah, Looks like all you guys are still pretty far away, it's a shame as I'll be heading to Worcester Uni come the 19th would have liked to have been closer to some people, but ahh well, looks like I'll still have to travel a bit, hope to get a bit more involved in your scene so you can expect to see me quiet often :).

Joe: I think fuel to Bolton is somewhere between £25 and £30 - it's not too bad but it certainly makes me consider carefully all journeys I make of that sorta length, especially if i'm going on my own and have to pay it all myself. When I do go up there next i'll try and make sure i'm with at least one more person (e.g. Crabman) to split costs and make the journeys less dull lol.

James: Good stuff - we should be round at about 3 hopefully, so Sean u probs wanna try and arrive around that sorta time as well. See ya then.

Yeniths: Although it isn't really close, you're still deffo gonna be within a reasonable distance from Bristol at least (although I won't be there during Cambridge uni term time) so yeah I hope to see more of you around here in the future :)

Brinks smashfest was good but I think I was the only one attending that wasn't from bristol. Anyways I think I should prob point out to everyone the start of term which means people will be moving including- LJ to Cambridge and Blinky back to York also VA to brighton.

On the other hand Dacacia and Pick will be coming back to Southampton as well as Cheez from Daves guys.

I'm from Wales, am interested in going into England for a tourney or two within the next few months =). My tag is "Sweet Psy". Cardiff, Wales counts as South-west right?

Is that to say that northerers aren't welcome to this potential tournament? cos that would be pretty gay considering it was a minority that ****-talked the tournament

Excluding northerners would cause people from the south (i.e. me, and probably others) to be less likely to come. Don't be lame, make it a proper tournament - show the minority that they were wrong, make it the best tournament ever ;)

(EDIT: lol, thanks Tamoo)

I play Brawl now. Used to play Melee but I'm so **** at it now because none of my friends that play Brawl played it. So sad as well, Melee was so much better.... I could try and practice over the next few weeks if you're not going to be holding any Brawl tournies????

Ben you hosted your tournament at one of the worst time possible-over easter weekend. Also I have no idea what cheap options for travel there is to southhampton.

So it's somehow my fault for you not coming? I don't think so. Try megabus Manchester- Southampton. WE did that date after a long discussion with people who said that any of the other dates we could do were bad. Easter hollidays is when people are free so I don't know what your on about.

Well I didn't attend because I wasn't playin smash and if I was I wouldn't of come due to it being easter and i'm sure other people didn't go due to the same reason. With it being easter im pretty sure the travel is really bad due to it being like a bank holiday.
Also the easter holidays are on for 2 weeks so why have it over the actual easter weekend lol.

1. if you weren't playing smash then why are you even commenting lol

2. all of the other dates during easter (and outside of easter) were deemed not doable by the community. You make it sound like we just made that date deliberately to minimise attendance

Only reason im commenting about it is because you said you were going to exclude the northerners from the next tournament.
Also if that date was the best date then why were you complaining about the attendance?

because people flaked lol. The reason we chose that date was because people said they could make it but didn't. The no northeners thing I didn't rly mean I was just rly angry at some of the responses I got for PH.

The only brawl (or melee for that matter) tournaments will be regional, the closest for you if you live in Wales would either be Manchester or London.

Leicester is surely a lot nearer than London and Manchester >.<

Looking like a great brawl tournout aswell, with the best in UK confirmed, (=

You should try and make it Psymon, though it is a bit far )=
