JUST FOR YOU JOHN #S

The payout may seem weird to you so allow me to clarify fr you to make your job easier, my friend.

The entry fee was $10 however, the venue offered a 3 dollar discount for anyone who pre-registered on their website. However only one person registered so the original pot was $287. After that the venue took a 30% house cut for hosting since they did not do a venue fee like most do. This leaves the total pot for payouts at $201. After that payouts were divided amongst top 3 - 60/30/10. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. I'm not really associated with the venue who ran the event, but I pretty much CO-TOed it since it was their first legit Smash event.

Super shout outs.

L_Cancel: I never played you, but we went a few rounds back in October 2010. You took first here. I think I know what would have happened.
Tutu: Sandbag or no, you would have trashed me, but thanks a lot for the character matchup experience. Dat Sheik.
Roller: I like your hat. I hate your ICs.
Tech_Chase: Some guy in a red shirt. No surprise he got killed off.
Ori: Yooo, I'ma upload whatever friendlies me 'n you had on my channel. Always legit seeing you man. You take on those COM :sheik:'s with :metaknight:! :troll:
LordHelmet: So. Close. I almost had you, last stock. But that Knee. So beautiful. All of my respect. Now choose a better character so you can win Michigan all the time.
Gifts: Diddy. Final Destination. Now I know.
SuperTH: What a guy. I love him.
ShockSauce: We never fought. I would like to correct this.
Red: We spoke for a limited time. I'd have liked to face off with you when you beat my buddy into the ground.
Lionell Brown: HEeeeeeyyy.... yoooouuuu. This guy, man. This guy. .....I have no idea who you are. Next Tourney?
Jawsome: Easily my favorite matches of the night. Sorry I brought out that janky Marth, but I couldn't afford another Up+B mishap like Mario. Play to win, as they say. But hey, as a fellow West MI, we need to play more often. Get that West MI rep up. Can't have L_Cancel do all the work.
Christiopher Vosloo: Is that last name legit?
rsr2: THANKS FOR THE RIDE, DOU-I mean. Your dad is cool. You should take after him.
Nyles Price: Dude, get a screen name or a gamertag or something. My head was on a swivel every time your matches were called.
Fishnax: Dude, legit tournament. Will attend again. Thanks for pushing for it to make it happen.

AND THE REST OF YOU....

I didn't play like, any of you. Joseph(:lucario:) and Robert Parks(:marth: :wolf: ) were with me, and... Well I ate Lucas USmash for breakfast against Purin. Wanted to rematch with Fox, but I don't think I would have done nearly as well in the Bracket any other way.

Gonzo.... keep fighting, and don't get so stressed, man! Caping Thunder is a lesson you should only learn once.

Captain Rainbow with that 24 hour status.

This is great stuff I had a lot of fun at this! I'm going to do my best to get another one running with Cheli again in a couple months. The next will most definitely be Saturday and I'd like to hold both singles and doubles.
Hopefully I'll get to face more people I'm alittle sad I didn't get to face alot of you guys.
Also to SuperTH you're mine next time >:I

^ Holla at me when you find a definitive date for the next event. Tell Cheli, I'll be more than happy to help run that one as well. We'll make the next one even better.

Actually, what I had posted on both the Skynet FB event and on the pre-registration page clearly explained venue fees. Unfortunately I had little control on what exactly was posted on the SB event since I didn't originate the post.
$7 of EVERY registration went into the prize pool. (29*7= 203 1 person dropped after pools but before brackets were made which is why there are 28 in brackets.)
Payouts were: 1st (60%) $121.80 2nd (30%) $60.90 and 3rd (10%) $20.30
Venue fee was $3 at the door. If you pre-registered, venue fee was only $1. (Me making an attempt at having a better head count before event day.)

Everyone... it was great to have you all out, I'm looking for a good Saturday in a few months to invite you all out again. Was a great crowd of people and a lot of fun.

T_C... totally appreciate the ability to tap you for information and experience with a little larger crowd. I hope you can make it out next time. I'm going to run a few mock events on tio so I can get more familiar with it before trying this again.

Not sure who was running streaming, but thank you. It added a little more fun for those that couldn't make it. If you make it out next time, make sure we start the stream on LAN cable rather than wireless tho. It will be way nicer. ;) I have enough cable to hit any spot in the building. I will look into coming up with at least one setup for streaming for Skynet.

If I make meatballs again for general consumption, I'll be sure to find another large crockpot or 2, cause there just needed to be more. ;) (I know, not tourney important, but was fun to share.)

If anyone has any suggestions etc for the future, feel free to drop me a line. You can PM me on here, send me an email cheli dot mellema at skynet-gaming dot com (avoiding spam bots ;) ), drop a line on the Skynet facebook page, or call the store at (616) 776-1287 and if I'm not there you can leave me a message with whoever is at the counter. (We open at 3 daily other than Saturday which is usually 2 unless there's an event.)

Once again, thank you to everyone, without your support and input we wouldn't have had this great of an event.

I spent today practicing new moves and ATs. I look forward to our next match - let's try and make it before the next Skynet, shall we? Get West MI up and running, we've got the manpower for it now, if this was any indication.

Wait are you a West MI player?? If so that's awesome because I have a brawl league that meets every now and then on Saturdays at Skynet and we were planning a bigger UBFC event in the coming month with some Muskegon guys. It'd be awesome if we could meet up sometime.

Well you are now! I'll hit you up when we set up our next skynet event. It's gonna be a little more casual than the tournament but it'll be a lot of fun. I'm just excited that I can finally start setting up a west michigan smash scene.

Isn't rainbow cruise in the 2012 Apex tho?
It is not. Apex ruleset removed Rainbow cruise, Brinstar, and Pokemon Stadium 2. Which are the most liberal stages on the Unity list. I personally (as well as a LOT of other smashers) think this list is better for determining skill vs your opponent, as opposed to just trying to survive on a silly stage.
I'm just excited that I can finally start setting up a west michigan smash scene.
Glad somebody is taking an initiative over there. I look forward to the days when you guys (other than L, who already has) start taking top placements over the east. =D

Thank goodness then. Those stages are just obnoxious to play on. And yes I plan on attending some Eastern tournaments and seeing how I fair.
