Hey everyone,
Thanks SO much for coming out. It was a blast. It was good to meet some new faces and see some old school ones. The summer is going to be loaded with exciting events even greater than the one we had today so stay tuned.
Addressing the stuff that didn't go so well first:
- Sorry about the time of the event. I was hoping to get things done more expeditiously but I got caught up in Brawl since I made the bracket. Fortunately, CTL got there just in time to get things back on track, so thanks to him. Pool 6 ended up getting run last and had the most people so that kinda messed us up. My apologies, my events usually never run behind and I hate to keep people long especially when they travel from Richmond and SoVA to come out.
- Sorry that ProAm didn't happen, just wasn't enough interest on the brawl side and not enough time on melee side.
- The Project:M Chillin debacle. Sorry to Chillin for even granting your request to enter at all and sorry to the folks who were upset when it happened. I know Chillin is upset about it, but the bottom line is, be on-time and this won't happen. You were doing good as of late for being on time for stuff and I understand stuff happens but I did all that was in my power to run your matches last and you still weren't on time for that. In a Yugioh/Pokemon tournament, you would've been DQ'd in 10 minutes tops. Milkman should've just played out his matches (or maybe forfeiting helped his melee deal, who knows). I should've just denied the request from the beginning and not opened the can of worms, so that one is on me.
- Xanadu's internet crapped out on us towards the end. Sorry people had to miss melee.
Addressing the stuff that went well:
- The Manager at Xanadu was incredibly pleased with our turnout. Let's keep that going over the summer. Some of our Brawl and Melee friends will be home for the summer and I want to give them some incredible tournaments to come home to before going back out at the end of august.
- Singles Only works out for all 3 games. This seemed to work out really well and I didn't hear many complaints about it. It also prevented us from colliding between games and having players holding up matches.
- Pools are awesome, no doubt about it.
- The amount of time for friendlies was at an all time high for all events. Glad everyone could come out and actually have time to play for fun and not be totally rushed for tournaments.
- Brawl finals were incredibly exciting, shoutouts to Logic and Pink Fresh for awesome sets.
- P:M finals were equally exciting, shoutouts to JCaesar and Nintendude for some great sets.
- Melee Finals rocked too. If you missed these due to stream failure, they'll be up on youtube at youtube.com/videogamebootcamp.
