Perhaps holding Melee and Brawl doubles and singles is too much for this tournament on May 8th. What if we just had Melee and Brawl singles as the main events?

I do not think that will make much of a difference. The main issue will be running two events simultaneously.

Even if some Brawl players from San Antonio will show up, idk if it'll be enough for a legit Brawl tourney.
Seeing as how successful Endless Challenge was, maybe we should just do it again, and maybe this time Darkrain will show up.

If we just did Melee singles and Brawl singles, we could do one at 2pm and the other at 4pm.

But, I must say I rather like the idea of doing another Melee tournament much like Endless Challenge since it was so successful. We would almost certainly get a better turnout from out-of-city Melee players than Brawl players, many of whom will be at HOBO 24. And we could even get a bigger turnout than Endless Challenge! I do apologize to the few San Antonio and Austin Brawl players that sounded interested in a Brawl tournament but if we really want to end Smash Club with a bang we will hold...Endless Challenge 2!

Haha, this club is so Melee-centric (at least when it comes to competition).

And I wouldn't have it any other way <3

Clay and I discussed it, and we think it might be a good idea to have EC2 on May 1st so that DoH (and hopefully Darkrain) can come.
EC was wildly more popular than Phase 7, so people would be prompted to come to our tournament, they stand to win far more money.

The deadline for Fall 2010 organization re-registration is this Thursday, April 22nd. It is done online from this website: http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/sald/studentorgs/vieworgs.php?org=4153. The main things that will need to be filled in are approx. club expenditures/income and the names of officers and their titles. I figure that, no matter what, we should reregister the club in case you guys want to hold at least a few meetings next semester. I will do it since I can fill in the expenditures/income part. However, you guys need to tell me who all the officers will be and their titles!

i wasnt gonna show up either way, but if u dont have alot of people that would enter both, then it is no problem to run them simultaneously.

If this tournament is May 1 and it does indeed have Brawl, then I'll come.

Phase 6 melee singles had 22 entrants. Phase 7 melee singles had 10 entrants. At this rate, Phase 8 will have 4.5 entrants (that's 4 full-size people plus a ******).

Endless Challenge had 29 entrants. Though, admittedly, none of those entrants was Darkrain heh.

You forgot Imperial Stormtrooper #2 Justin
lol actually there are no restrictions to what your titles can be--the old smash club officers had some goofy titles like "Officer of Royal Beat Downs."

btw Kal, what do you have planned for that housewarming party besides smash?
more drunk smash?

In any case, based on what some of the attendees of last tournament are saying, another major tournament may not work, a lot of people have tests.

There won't be any smash at my place Saturday. It's going to be a housewarming party, not a smashfest. >_>

lulz, wat else is there to do at ur place other than drink, smash and light **** on fire?
rohan you dont need to play smash to have a good time. its a SOCIAL event. can always just socialize

now the whole lighting stuff on fire, not gonna happen lol

p.s. rohan if you read your comment again, it has a bad connotation. just saying (i have a warped mind at the moment)

well the only parties I've been to have involved getting down with girls I don't even know, I doubt that's what Kal is going for at his party...

but I've never been to a housewarming before so I didn't know what to expect. I assumed we'd just be playing smash as usual, cuz that's what I associate Kal with. Of course, he wouldn't then invite a bunch of people who don't play smash...
anyways, should be interesting, haha

usually housewarmings are like mini social parties. nothing too major (unless the host wants it like that). i mean c'mon, sure ya'll play smash but im sure each of yall have other things that interest ya. usually drinking games are seen, depending.

anyways, its like breaking in the new place. why anybody would want a crazy wild party for their housewarming would defeat the purpose lol.

****ing Rohan. What a *****. This isn't just to get him riled up either. I legitimately want to argue in favor of him being a little *****.

lol, that might mean more if I actually knew what you were saying

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle: There's no sense getting all riled up every time a bunch of idiots give you a hard time. In the end, the universe tends to unfold as it should.

Never said I have a problem with that. Number one, drunk smash is awesome, number two, I'm the "B+ officer".

GUYS, so what are we doing for our last meeting??

I'm afraid we need to make some profit so that kind of eliminates the idea of doing a laid back meeting with no fees, unless we just don't get snacks lol. So, we should either do Endless Challenge 2 or a Brawl singles+Melee singles event. Either way, it will be doors open at noon, tourneys at 2pm and 4pm, pizza at 6pm, and $5 venue fee.

The other problem is when and where to have the meeting. Neither WEL nor JGB are available on May 8th. So either we find a different venue or we go for May 1st or May 9th. We might want to try a different venue anyways, one that has phone service would be nice.


Another urgent thing is who, seriously, are the officers and their titles that I will be filling out tomorrow in the reregistration form? Should we have some kind of election? I think you can fill out a form to change officers later if necessary. We should reregister the club, shouldn't we?

I support Edgar's idea on officers.

Also, what is the financial situation for the club? As far as I know we made a good ~$80 from EC1. I recall a projected deficit of like $90 stated way earlier, so that almost cancels out right? So there doesn't seem to be THAT much of a necessity for profit in our next meeting, but correct me if I'm wrong.

As for EC2, it's apparent that turnout from OOC is looking very bleak. There isn't enough time to advertise it properly AND it's coming around finals time where people can't afford to travel when they need to be spending that time studying. So I'm pretty against the notion for having EC2. I can only foresee a failure. If we only need to make a small amount of profit, then we can just have a small melee tournament with some percentage house cut; better yet, just cut how much deficit we're in LOL. (No but seirously, EC2 isn't a good idea and there are other ways to get profit.)

We definitely DO want to re-register the club. The logical order of ascension would put Edgar to be president next year (considering he is vice-president this year). Hence why he is Emperor.
