Nope. Pound 5 is two weeks after this. NOOB 3 is three weeks before this. Chose the date more or less in the middle.

GET HYPED!

Kinda disappointing that brawl isn't in here. Regardless I suppose I'll go to this and play melee competitively for the first time in over 2 years :)

Sorry there will be no Brawl at this event. The council of Gainesville has decided that this will be a Melee only event.

But congrats on 400 posts.

Not sure if there will be a venue fee or not.

Sure Max we would love you to help. And we'd like it more if you would play!

If we get enough interest from all over Florida I would love to run Crew Battles.
Gainesville vs. Orlando vs. Tampa vs. Jacksonville vs. Tallahassee/Panhandle vs. Miami/SOFLO
Where you at?

Also, another idea that has been mentioned by Harriettheguy is Amateur Crews. We take crews consisting of lesser known/up and coming players (as designated by veterans) from each region and let them battle it out!

Also, I thought that maybe an Amateur Bracket could be run for those knocked out of the bracket early. That would give more incentive for those people to play because they would get to play longer and they would get more experience.

What do you guys think?

Usually not playing Brawl. Location: Enterprise
If you have enough setups, amateur brackets make a ton of sense, and are a great idea.

Take people who get knocked out at the same level of the tournament, and put them in their own 8 person bracket. Matches get a lot closer... and you can end up with much more specific results (unless you don't want that guy who didn't win any matches to know he got last.)

But if you're planning on doing that and singles and teams and crews you're gonna need a TON of setups. 1 for every 2 smashers is the optimal number.

And unfortunately, I dont see how I could make this.

Yeah... jesus christ. As much as everyone would love to do 30 side events, is that really possible? I would much rather play friendlies, but maybe that's just me.

Well I wasn't suggesting we do all of them. They are just ideas. I would like to do at least one and see how much time we have. Depends.

Amateur brackets sound pretty fun. It gets the Rock out of the 'crock'pot of competitors and allows new guys to shiiiiiiiiiiiiine. :chuckle:

Chances of me going to this are 50/50.

Already going to NOOB3 in Jan and I really wanna go to Pound 5 (which is also in feb)

Driving to Gsville for a tournament (gas + entrance) AND going to another tournament the same month might be a little too much for my pockets.

I'll deff see what I can do though :)

We are currently in the process of finding a suitable venue. I've called a few hotels and we're checking a lot of places. If you guys have any ideas or have place you want me to check out let me know!

We are also currently in the process of making a hype video. Hopefully it will be done sometime this weekend!
