Actually Dominos discontinued them. So we no longer sell them. Good Catch!

In the past we have sold a few during tournaments though.

So why is there no melee gigs in november.................
A few reasons,

A. November is pretty much full for us with events , lots of stuff going on.

B. Melee turnout can be spotty, like to pick better dates for that like when schools out.

Swap the date for this and your melee tournament so the melee one doesn't conflict with the big GA melee tournament happening on the same day. Lots of florida has been making plans to attend that one for the past month or so.

2days after christmas

bad
but thats when youd probably have the most money from presents and stuff

retrogamer, the SWF backroom stage list is terrible, and it'll never be a standard here in florida unless it becomes un-terrible

probably never, seeing that its so bad right now it'd have to take an EXTREME turn to become un-terrible

coupled with the fact that they are even contemplating trying to ban MK..i dont think they'll do anything intelligent for a while. dont get your hopes up, kid

This tournament is sick news for me. I'm flying down to my *new* home in Jacksonville (because my parents moved while i was at university) on December 20th. Naturally since i've never been even near there I don't know anyone and probably will be bored out of my mind, at least until this tournament :). Looking forward to meeting some florida players!

its always cool to see some OOS (or i guess OOC for you) venture down here for tourneys. If youre in jacksonville, you'd have to try to talk to gmoney and see if he can help you find a ride. Gigabits is 3-4 hours away i think

Google maps says about 2 hours and 15 mins. I spoke to Gmoney and I don't think he will be in Jacksonville at the time cause school is out, which is also the reason why I'll be there. I'll drive down myself, shouldnt be a problem :). Course if I do find out about anyone else from Jacksonville that's going plans may change.

it sucks that i won't be here for this one. parents already bought plane tickest to NY so i guess i'll miss out on this one. maybe i should check the other regional zones to see if they'll have any brawl tournaments up there.

Hey Seibrik. I wanted to up the stakes on our Money match a lil (because you know I like hype).

20$
Neutral Stages only
My Metaknight vs. your D3.
Best of 3

If I can 3 stock you twice, I get triple. If you 3 stock me twice, you get triple.

If I 2 stock you twice, I get double. If you 2 stock me twice, you get double.

How does that sound?
