Haha, how'd you choose the name? That name reminds me of those Bayonetta modes you told me about. You should have named after those. Infinite Climax or something, haha.

I showed the thread to Houston, who wants to tell Dallas?

Non-Stop Infinite Climax?

Not a bad idea. But I named it after the C. Falcon theme song. The remix of it I have is called "Endless Challenge."

If I ever host a tourney I will name it Non-Stop Infinite Climax.

Thanks for making the thread Kal, it looks really professional.
Yes, I'm the best person alive. I'm just slow.

About the number of setups, we will provide a minimum of 7 TVs (Juan's 3, Rohan and I's 4, and Dean's or Edgar's 1) and 4 consoles w/ Melee disc (from me, Juan, Edgar, Kal). Thus, we will need some setups so I like the rule of waiving the door fee if you bring a full setup. We need to make sure we have enough power strips too; I can bring 2 and Rohan and Juan should both be able to bring 1. Should we have a Brawl setup or two? Maybe only if we have Brawl/B-/B+ side events since almost everybody will be there for Melee.
The waiving of the door fee is pretty standard. From a minor ethical standpoint, it's nice of us to reward people who help out by bringing setups. But the more important point is that, by waiving the door fee, people are more likely to bring setups.

I think I have a few power strips, but I can't say for certain. I feel that we should be pretty organized for this, so we should have most everything prepared the day before.

With regard to Brawl, it's fine if we have it setup during friendly time, provided there is demand for it. But during the tournament, it would be a large waste of time to have a Brawl setup. Perhaps since there are about 4-5 people who show up every time just for Brawl, we could have one Brawl setup.

Noc said:
Speaking of side events, we should get an idea of what would be popular now but I think the ultimate decision of what side events to do should be made at the meeting after taking a vote.
Yes, that sounds like a plan. There may not even be demand for a side event. Since they're usually only $1 anyway, I think it's best to wait until the day of the tournament. Of course, this if we even have time for a side event.

Noc said:
To make up for the fact that this April 17th 6th meeting will mostly consist of Melee, we should have a Brawl tournament at the April 3rd 5th meeting.
Yeah, that's not a bad idea. Make flyers and advertise now and we may be able to get something going. I would like to suggest, though, that instead we have our next meeting on the 10th. This would give us enough time to advertise a Brawl tournament. I can even make a thread for it.

In retrospect, I probably should have combined the above two posts. And this one.

Oh well, the moderators will never catch me. I'm too fast!

I think the fact that the UT Smash Club is the host should be mentioned. Possibly with some contact information on the officers and/or a link to this thread.

Also, Kal, way to consult the other officers on the rule set =P

yeah um...
I'm no Melee expert, but, why is Mushroom Kingdom anything a legal counter in singles, and Termina a legal counter in doubles???

I'm scared because the only stage I've ever played on in my entire life is Final Destination.

No items.

Kal, Edgar's right, it needs the contact info of a few officers (like you, Edgar, and I). I can also send you a picture of the smash club "logo" if you want.

Yes, we need to have everything setup by noon. I will have a car at UT for the remainder of the semester so that will help.

Yes, that sounds like a plan. There may not even be demand for a side event. Since they're usually only $1 anyway, I think it's best to wait until the day of the tournament. Of course, this if we even have time for a side event.
Yeah, people may want to just do friendlies but we will definitely ask at the day of the tourney if there is any interest in doing any particular side events.

About a Brawl tournament, I propose we hold it two weeks after Endless Challenge, i.e. on May 1st. This is because I already reserved the room for the 5th meeting for April 3rd. This Brawl tournament could be a lot like Endless Challenge--e.g. similar schedule and have its own thread--but Brawl instead of Melee. Are people up for this?

I seem to have missed quite a lot, I think I forgot what l-cancelling is over the break
Just changed the OP... a little bit at least

If you missed the link for the tourney
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=269507
^There it is

If anything, advertising the tourney should be as simple as putting the link in our signatures, and spreading the word like always

I'm excited to get my *** kicked during doubles on termina =/

Yeah, this is the newest one
MeleeBackRoom rules are pretty much standard, if you didn't notice from Pound 4 and Revival of Melee II

The SBR rule set you copied must be from like 2007 haha. Termina and Peach's Castle were banned when I started learning about competitive smash
Yeah, I was just about to check that myself. I remember thinking that the most recent MBR rule set was pretty conservative in terms of legal stages.

Before a moderator tells you... just edit your first post that you made

All the info is on the Original Post, on the first page

We have quite a few Brawl players, so if you wanna contact any of them to play, go for it

Dunno who's going to Phase 7 yet, but I'm sure whoever is going will mention carpooling by Thursday

I have a car now so can take 4 other people to Phase 7. I'll probably leave Saturday morning but we'll have to leave around 7am to ensure we get there when the doors open. I think Kal can drive people as well.

Sounds like we need to have a Brawl singles tourney at our next meeting on April 3rd in WEL 1.316, 4-11pm. Other events could be Brawl+, Brawl-, Melee low tier, or the Bowser Challenge. Any events will involve a $5 or $1 entry fee and cash payouts. We will probably ask for a $1 admission fee to cover the cost of the meeting.

I can't drive. My car is in the shop till Tuesday. T_T

Also, every time you say we could have "the Bowser challenge" at our tournament, I die a little inside. I see no practical way to make a tournament out of this.

It would still be fun to have and record players attempting it.

Just make it a high score challenge. If the highest scores are tied, then do another round until there is one left standing.

But how do the three people playing Bowser compete? Seems unfair that three people would need to sit out.

Have 4 designated Bowsers.

If Kal's car is broken down then are we going to have enough to get everyone to Dallas who wants to go?

It's kind of pointless if someone can actually complete the challenge. We need competent Bowser players!

We could rotate bowsers, but............

This is a problem. I'll admit I don't play Bowser too well. But probably well enough to be a Bowser in the challenge.

The top 3 ranking players should be bowsers at each meeting, and in the event that one of the top 3 (Mitchell, Kal, or Edgar in this case) do the challenge, then just take the next best player as the bowser.

So have 4 designated bowsers: the top 4 players of each meeting.

This is what I was thinking we would do, but the type of tournament Matt and Kyle are suggesting could work. Commentary for this would be funny.

I'd like to briefly mention this opportunity we have to make some funds for the club. If anybody that currently has a Wells Fargo account (1) opens a new checking account for online purchases (this doesn't cost you anything since you can transfer the $100 minimum opening deposit back to your original account and it's a safeguard against websites stealing your main account number) and (2) says Clayton Kibler referred you, I will get a $25 bonus that I'll then deposit in our club account. This offer expires 3/31 (next Wed). Anybody interested?

I love how 90% of the time you guys hold a Brawl tourny, the people who play Brawl are out of town.
Are you guys out of town on Saturday, May 1st?

The last meeting of the semester will be May 8th or 1st. If that doesn't make you sad enough, I'm graduating in May so will have to step down as Smash Club president. So...do people want to continue the club? Raise your hand (or PM me) if you are a UT student that is interested in doing so! It's not extremely difficult/time-consuming to start/run a student organization but you do have to kind of stay on top of things.

The deadline to re-register a student organization for Fall 2010 is April 22nd, so you have until then to decide.

Sooooooo, I have Saturday off now. So I'm considering going to the Dallas tournament if I can find a ride. Who all is going that could possibly bring me there?

Clay's driving there. The other people who want to go (that I know of) are you, me, Kal, and Matt. So those four could fit in Clay's car probably.
