Historically, Racine has been a difficult place for smashers to regularly travel to... between OiR and LoR, I don't think a tourney in that area has ever broken 32 (open to correction on this). While there's nothing bad at ALL about running $6 monthlies, there should also be a larger anchor tourney that will get wider interest from oos and, more importantly, from within the state itself.
I think Sago just meant he would look for a store to sponsor it, not necessarily host it. But, this is still an excellent post with some really important info.James Sparrow said:Local game stores are generally a bad venue to be honest. We've all been to them, and there's always something sketchy. Take CC3-CC5 at Chimeras. We were not treated with respect, we were robbed of 10% of our pot, we were forced to take the tournament elsewhere because of time, and we were not given enough space for what we needed. Then take a look at CC6, where we had a nice venue, no one breathing down our necks, ample space for plenty of setups, and a small venue fee that meant no pot stealing. Then there's the Odiez tournaments in racilla, where you had to pay a cover fee at the door, and then were forced to throw out any food you brought in which left you the choice of being hungry or overpaying for a bad frozen pizza. Lets not even start with the gamestop brawl tournaments
That being said, Sago I recommend you take some caution when lining up a venue.
I proably would if I was older than 15 and could drive and didn't live in a "Mansion" In the middle of the boondocts. Sorry for extreme johns.With Brawl out and summer on the horizon, WI needs some people to step up and host some good tournaments to get the new scene going. There are a lot of new players, a lot of new techniques to be learned, and a lot of friends to fight for
If we can get one big WI tournament for each month in summer, that ought to give the scene a much needed jump start. Lonejedi and I have already agreed to pair up to host a tourney someplace in the Fox Cities in mid-June. I also am finalizing details on HJ5 for late August. That just leaves July, with the most preferable time being the middle of the month to keep all three tournaments evenly spaced. We're looking to spread out the location a bit, and host something in either central WI to make things easier for MN, or southern WI for IL/IN. And no matter where it is, all of WI should be trying to make each tourney
So, what lone and I need is a third person to work with us on these tournaments, and find a good venue in their area for mid-July. We're both respected tourney hosts with a wide range of experience; if three people can work together on the same level, our combined efforts should provide for some really well-run tournaments.
So, who's up for this? Hayate, Quaz, anyone??
I loved going to odiez' tournies. Don't get me wrong.
I went for yugioh, but Smash Bros was just an incentive.
I already have dibs on late August
anytime from late June to early August is fine, with preference on mid-July if we want to have 3 evenly spaced anchor tournies.
Mundungu played me in a wifi match, and i lost. But that means that he's helping me host a tourney. We'll definitely be able to do this in mid-july. Me and mundungu are going venue hunting hopefully soon. I know that card shops and venues of that sort are lame. But, BUt, BUT. I heard a rumor that the apple store has late night stuff and you can pay for some time. I'd need a lil cash back if this was interesting to anyone. Otherwise i have different connections.I already have dibs on late August
I'll go to this too. I can bring a melee setup if anyone is interested.

You do know that sakurai gave DeDeDe a random chance to throw an item? Even if items are turned off just like peach can throw a beam sword or a bomb DeDeDe can throw a capsule I believe.Instead of throwing a waddle dee, he threw a capsule.
Ill try, but im busy during the week.
Yeah I think that's why that happened.
We can only hope, the fact that it WAS a smash ball out of the 100 something items is pure BS though...considering capsules have like a 30%+ chance to just blow up.
Fixed.
