A year and a half later: I think it is funny that KayLo and ESam are obviously arguing two sides of the same point. KayLo obviously plays to win as evidenced by her automatic adrenaline response regardless of the opponent. I am curious though, if using all of the tools available to you...

New England Represent! Anyone up for training?

I look forward to the experience!

You mean Jebus?

Oh Boy, my first Tourney!!!!

It seems Oficial Tournaments and Friendly Tournaments are two separate things. If someone is willing to put together a tournament for a bunch of local people from the community getting together for some fun, to compare skills, and walk away with some prize money, more power to them. It seems...

Very well said. If talented brawlers have to sit around waiting for someone to volunteer their time, money, and energy...the scene would ultimately suffer. Creating a profession and market for tournament organization encourages consistent activity, competitive growth, and more importantly...

I'd be happy to go one for one on the hardship train in PM but I think we can all relate to an escape from something. The great thing about a community is that you are never alone.

BOOOOO! Anyhow Ruby, I think your best bet is to get out in your community and find people who are like you and who are tolerant. I am not sure about your local scene but some bars and clubs in this area are incredibly diverse. If you ever get the chance, visit Provincetown, MA for Fantasia...

Thanks for the replies; all opinions are greatly appreciated. It does sound grimy when you use the word 'pocketing'. I want to be clear my particular intention is in no way to take money from those that work hard to develop their skills and deserve the pot. Some of us are self-reliant...

I Hate to be be cliche but as far as series go FF & Smash.

Am I touching on some unspoken grey area when I ask to discuss profit? Surely no decent tourney participant can fault an Organizer for a small compensation for time and effort. While making money should never come off as the focus for the event, there is time spent scouting, planning...

TO Info Hello, Long Time SmashFan but new to this site and brawl. Is there a thread or forum I am missing to discuss TO ettiquette? I love gaming and have a strong interest in Event Management and want to know if their are rules to being a Tourney Organizer beyond following the gaming...
