Are there any Tournaments going on soon?

I could get one planned soon if there is enough interest.

Also,
I going to be looking into getting a building for anyone who wants to get together to play Brawl/Melee once a week (or every two weeks).
Just for fun and for those that want to get practice and be elite.

Lets hear your input and I'll see what I can do.

Cheers

Hi! Unfortunately, there hasn't been a lot of Brawl tournaments in Alberta. I think there's been around 2 since the release. =( We're mainly a melee community. Although, there are a lot of brawl players here still. They're just too lazy to host. xD I'm glad you're willing to host some tourneys though! You sound a lot like me when I first stared back in '06. =P

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=92006
That's the main thread you want to check out. Its the social thread for Alberta where we just talk about tourneys and pretty much just everything. We're all pretty good friends with everyone, and we're very open to new guys! Come say hi! I apologize for the first post. It kinda... scares people away.

Alphicans · Mar 19, 2009

A biweekly tourny? Make it dude.

ColinJF · Mar 19, 2009

You planning a tournament sounds great, and I'm interested in your second idea as well.

SuPeRbOoM · Mar 20, 2009

make it sundays!

Dynamism? · Mar 20, 2009

yes, do it Sundays

Superboom said so!

You know you want to!

DO ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

<3

Alphicans · Mar 20, 2009

IDC which day just make this happen.

x After Dawn x · Mar 20, 2009

Weeklies (or even biweeklies to give some breaks for people / let people host smashfests at their houses) would be awesome. Day really doesn't matter for me, but Fridays or even Saturdays would be awesome.

victra♥ · Mar 20, 2009

If this is bi-weekly, host it on the open weekends. Like, Red Deer might be hosting bi-weeklies, so if you host it on the following open weeks, we could finally have an active tournament scene!

FastFox · Mar 20, 2009

Brawl isn't big enough in Edmonton to have tournaments, not to mention all the players that usually host all play Melee, so Brawl isn't really an option.

Carl hosted Brawl at CT4, and I'm pretty sure he'll never ever ever ever ever do it again.

Seriously, just ask him.

victra♥ · Mar 20, 2009

Says you. There's actually a lot of Brawl players, I just don't think you know about them. I think Luke listed them off before, but there literally is as many of them as there are melee players now. There mainly active in the OTL and the other brawl forums.

Not that I would attend any of the Brawl tournaments, but we shouldn't just dismiss their community like that. A lot of them are really nice guys (who are just misguided. =P)

Anywho, even if they did have a small community, hosting tournaments would really help their community grow even more. Kinda like with Randall's bi-weeklies shaping Calgary's smash scene, and the CAST series etc.

Alphicans · Mar 20, 2009

Wow Victor. I've gained some respect for you lol.

Grand Lethal · Mar 20, 2009

This would be hosted in a building that people use as a dance studio. Not someone's house.
I needed to see if there would be enough interest first before I take any actions.

I was thinking Friday(4pm-6pm) or Sunday afternoons (Probably around 2pm or 4pm) for 2 hours and holding tournaments at the end of each month.

Right now I need to check with the building schedule and see what time slots are open as well as check how many TV's are operational.

I was thinking of holding these mainly for Brawl events to get the Edmonton/Alberta Brawlers more active. I'm sure there are plenty of Brawl players, but just haven't had any real opportunities to shine. Not that I'm going to completely cut Melee off, but I just think that there are already plenty of players still hooked on it that can take care of themselves.

I'll update everyone as soon as I can.

Alphicans · Mar 20, 2009

2 hours? Can't you make it longer? I mean this idea sounds really good but it sounds kind of short.

Grand Lethal · Mar 20, 2009

Ok ok.
I thought 2 was reasonable but apparently not haha.
How many hours would be good then?

SuPeRbOoM · Mar 20, 2009

make it longer than 2 hours so I don't waste my time

Solaris1110 · Mar 20, 2009

Most people here have smashfests that are 4+ hours long, and some people have to travel from 1 side of the city to the other for smash. 2 hours isn't bad, but people are used to playing for longer periods.

You more than anyone should know that I play the game more than I would like. heh.

Anyways, I hate the game, not the game's players.

Lib3r4t3 · Mar 23, 2009

Smashfests in the Okanagan in BC are about 6 hours long, and I always feel like it's never enough. Time FLIIIIES when you play smash. I want biiig days of smash when I play, since I have to commute at least an hour anyway. The more time you can book, the better in most cases. You can also have mini tournaments going on in smashfest, a small entry fee somewhere from 2$ to 5$ to get some bracket action in there.

x After Dawn x · Mar 24, 2009

Yeah, time really does fly when you're playing videogames. I'd suggest at least 4-5 hours per smashfest. =/

Also, mini tournaments are a good idea. $2-5 seems reasonable.

P.S. Host Melee please. >_>

lemonlau36 · Mar 24, 2009

I'd be down...

Alphicans · Mar 24, 2009

I think this should be a brawl only thing. Leave melee out of this.

SuPeRbOoM · Mar 24, 2009

or put both...

Alphicans · Mar 25, 2009

Sorry I didn't notice that in the OP you put down melee/brawl.

Grand Lethal · Mar 25, 2009

Hey Guys,

I'm going to have a meeting about the building tomorrow. From the looks of it, I think things will get started around mid-April once Finals are over.
I'll try to keep you guys updated as much as possible.

Carl (FalseFalco) hosts on Sundays and they usually go from 1 - 6pm.

Sid (LemonLau) hosts on Sundays usually from like 12 - 8pm.

I host on Saturdays usually from 12 pm till whenever. Last, last smashfest I held I think Superboom didn't leave till like 1 in the morning. It was good.

DTP · Mar 25, 2009

Oh awesome
I'd be interested in going to these once in a while

Thanks for pointing this out to me Luke =D

Alphicans · Apr 4, 2009

Hey what's the latest on this? It's been a few days. Just curious.

~Firefly~ · Apr 4, 2009

What? Brawl in Edmonton? Finally! ^_^ I've been sitting around here with barely anybody to play with for a while. I just hope this works out...

And for the record, I play Melee as well, but I suck. =[

nasir123 · Apr 4, 2009

yo man any1 here wanna play some wifi im from niagara

Grand Lethal · Apr 5, 2009

Hey guys,

Been busy with school so heres what's going down:
We're planning the first event to be a tournament for Brawl. It will most likely be a Sunday in Early or Mid May so that it doesn't interfere with people studying for Post-Secondary Finals.

The building is near around 99st and Whyte Ave. The exact address is: 10005 80 Ave

Question: Are there people who are willing to bring TVs, Wiis, and brawl games for use at the tournament? PM me and tell me which you can bring.
I'll also check if we'll need help setting up, so if you'd like to help send me a PM.

I'll give you guys a definite date once I run it with the group/building owners
Have a good one.

victra♥ · Apr 5, 2009

That's awesome man. Although I don't play Brawl, I'd love to come and support a new tournament host.

Alphicans · Apr 5, 2009

Yeah definitely looking forward to this.

^_^

Sundays should be fine for me, as long as it's later in the day. I have training rides for a bike trip I'm taking with the school on Sundays, but those are fairly early, so if it's late afternoon/evening, it won't interfere.

I don't have my licence (laziness =/) but I have a friend who plays Brawl as well and can drive. If I can get him to go, I can get a ride with him, but if not, I may be screwed for transportation. V.V

For equipment, I can't bring my Wii, as it has a faulty power cord and craps out without warning after a while. >_> I could bring Brawl in the event that someone else brings a system without the game, but that doesn't seem all that likely. I may or may not be able to bring a TV though. Also, we could come early to set up, but that also depends on the time.

I know this is still in the early stages, so there's still a lot of time and preparation needed before this happens, but I'm already looking forward to it. Thanks in advance for the effort you're putting this, and I hope it all goes smoothly. ^_^

Alphicans · Apr 11, 2009

I think that you.three tournament should be the week after due to the fact that there is another tournament going on that day. But truth be told, I'll go to that one before the other, but I'd rather go to both than just one. Know what I am saying? Just a suggestion, if it can't be done expect me there either way.

Frio · Apr 11, 2009

Don't mind me just subscribing >_>

Actually, he should keep the tourney on this date, I'd rather go to this tourney then the other scrubby one in the other topic. FFA? Really...?

Anyhow, I could probably bring a setup for this. Is it just Brawl-only?

Alphicans · Apr 11, 2009

Yeah I'd rather go to this as well, but I'd wanna go to both.
