Good news on that tourney Kenny. I really hope it all goes well and we can get it started as soon as we can.

I would say try and get the tourney scheduled for the beginning of August because I might be gone the weekend of the 25th, but what with Joke leaving and Minato coming, I'd say my reason for delaying it would be bad.

Let's see how it goes!

Joke, you should pick up your poncho from my house before you leave...

EDIT: Best in state?

Brawl- Level 9 Metaknight (Yaz)
Melee- PC
64- Anyone who actually decides to play it. :(
This. Although I would list myself as 64, seeing as I'm the only one who actually WANTS a Smash 64 scene, although somebody here is probably a little better than me...

EDIT 2: Genesis? I asked about that, but nobody responded to it...middle of the week means most likely a big no for me...although with enough motivation, I could probably squeeze in some time. I just need details...

Someone, pick me up if you're going to Genesis!
Oh, and I'm pretty decent at Smash 64. Depends on my mood though. XD

So I talked to the PnT guy. And everything was going great. Then I showed him the flier I made and he didn't really like the 50/30/10 pot layout. Somehow he assumed they were getting all the entry fee... (Which I don't get, cause I clearly said that they'd be getting the 10% house cut when I first talked to him >_>) His enthusiasm kind of keeled over right then. He said he guesses we can still do it once to see how it goes, but since saturday isn't the best day for him due to it being really busy, he wants to have it on a tuesday, august 4th...

Would people be able to come on a tuesday?

LOL, what a savvy businessman. 100% of pot going to house = no prize for winning the tournament = huge successful tournament! . Clearly, this man is a business prodigy with an understanding of human behavior far beyond anything we can comprehend.
/sarcasm

Depends. What time of day do you guys usually do stuff? (Friendlies, tournaments, etc.) I'm switching jobs and I have several options for my shift, and I'd like to pick one that won't leave me unable to attend anything.

It's sad to say, but when dealing with hosting tournaments at game stores, most of them would want all entry fees being returned to the winners as store credit, at the very least. Very, VERY rarely would you find an owner that would be willing to let you host there without anything in return at all.

But Tuesdays? That's ridiculous! Despite it being summer, I don't see many people coming on a Tuesday.

Read my post carefully. I'm not saying that no one would come, so there's no point in two regulars and some random guy saying they would come on a Tuesday. Heck, even I would drive down there (despite the fact that I don't enter) on a Tuesday if Minato would want to attend.

You did tell him here would be a venue fee right? There should always be a venue fee(5$)

:( There's no way I'd be able to come on a Tuesday for any part of the event.
*cries*

But he was expecting it to ALL go toward the house?

......

Even back when I talked to him, I made the 10% part clear. I said I was obviously willing to work with him, but he must've just outright ignored both of us...



I'm not going to be able to make a club down here at BYU, but I'm sure I could borrow some TVs and ground space for a tourney. Well, there's no harm asking...

Tuesday?! Seriously? Saturday is my only day off.

Well, classes may be done by then, but seriously? Maybe it'd be easier to just have it at someone's house, until a better venue can be found.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE UTAH SMASHERS GOING TO GENESIS!!! Win a big pot for us.

Honestly 10% cut isn't really enough, do the 10% AND a venue fee. Its a good thing.

Lol I got a call from rade today.

He tells me they went to harmons to get some snacks and joke goes into his car, turns it on, leaves the keys in it, locks the doors and then leaves. LOL so he locked himself out of the car and left it on at the same time.

lol what a joke.

Yes, somebody actually cares! :D

Meh, I don't care if its small, and everything will help. Now I'd just need people with Wii's (and Brawl) to come as well, and I'd need to bring some extra controllers. Most people will use the Wiimote or Wiichuck though, and I only have 2 Wiichucks, one nunchuck, and 3 extra GCN controllers.
So I'll ask BYU... sometime next week... if I can actually go through with this.
And I'm sure if I give a percentage of the entry fee as a "donation" to BYU, they won't mind. But we'll see.

I've locked my keys in the car before...

But I didn't have the engine on when I did it.

What a joke...

Pfft...old cars. The safety feature on my car makes it pretty much impossible to accidentally lock you out if the key is in the ignition.

But I still never had to rely on such things... So yeah...what a joke!

Would this be a tourney at BYU?

Well, I expect so. I haven't asked yet, but I will when I get some spare time. Being lazy apparently has great health benefits, and takes hours of my time to participate in. But I'll get enough time to go and visit next week.
Whether it'll actually happen is questionable, because I'm requesting groundspace, plugs, and TVs, but even if it doesn't I can always ask around locally. I know there's somewhere out there that would be willing to host. As long as it isn't too time consuming for me; those health benefits from being lazy are NOT to be missed out on.
Thanks very much for the offer Final, much appreciated and needed.

EDIT: 2:45 AM EDIT ZOMGOSH ANO IS SUCH A BAD KID

If I do come to something like this, I can bring the controllers & Wiimotes, and my wii. (And I think there's a spare TV somewhere in my house if you need one)

Wait... what do you mean by "converter thing?" If you can't figure out how to use it, then there's no way I'll be able to...

Thanks very much Final, very much.
