Loaction:
Geek World(who's Tyler 2 venue) Tyler, TX

It's easyish to see but kinda hard to find the entrance.
It's right by a windchime shop. The entrance off the loop is a super steep ramp and the entrance off Old Bullard is still accessible by the loop coming from the light.
You'll see what in talking about. Some of you have gone before!

This is a family store, please watch your language(xeven) thank you!
UPDATE:
I have been given permission to run the smash events at this while the main host will have the final say on issues. Meaning I'm like keitaro and he's Alex Strife.

As of right now, I can not confirm doubles or a side event, but there will be so many games its gonna be hard to get bored.

Please do bring set ups, I mean I could get through 30 entrants on 3 setups in that time frame, since its just singles, but I'd rather not stress about it. However, if 8 Brawl set-ups roll in I'm not using all of them lol.

I'll try to get start times confirmed, but you might as well show up from 11-12 and play friendlies/other games.

Some of the FGC guys want MM's. so prepare yourselves(don't rob em blind tho :/)

Concerning P:M we'll see. I actually doubt we'll have a tourney for it, but I'm trying to get it lined up.

No venue fee, just bring $5 per tourney you want to enter, and then however much for food/MM's/like shopping cause geek world is legit.

Rules for each game.....?

Start times for each event.....?

With there be doubles or side events for melee/brawl.....?

Confirmed venue fee.......?



Dude you really need help making tournament threads if this is how you are doing them. This event looks janky as F if this is all the info you have. Id recommend you delete/erase this thread until you know everything.

It's 75% fest 25% tourney. There are no tourney rules but I'll probably help the guy run brawl/melee if he needs it.

I'm not involved with hosting this event at all, I'm attending and asked if the host wanted a thread made on here.
My threads for my tourneys will be mad different cause I'll be hosting and make sure every detail is lined out.
I plan my event for the most part before calling the venue lol

This thread/your response makes me wanna ^

Sorry?

There's really no more info to put lol as far as I know the host is just saying "welp I'll just start each tourney whenever." Which is likely the case. It's a very casual event.

This thread is more of a save the date.

So you're making the thread for the guy?

If the guy would like a larger turnout then he is going to have to get up some rules.Those are pretty essential to any smash bros tournaments because our game can be played in many ways. I cannot confirm and I don't think any other regions will confirm unless they know the rules. I'm not really up for driving 2 and a half hours to show up to a free for all and or item tournament. Not trying to nag him but I just cannot confirm on it. Because I really would like to go and I think other regions might too. Also I know the PM scene here would feel the same way.

Did he mention any chance of doubles?

If there is a Facebook event or something I'd like to contact the guy so I could talk to him about the tournament. I would just ask him questions and tell him if he wants a larger turnout then he should come out with some details.

just use the WT? rulesets for tournies.

@ denti - here's the FB link to the store

http://www.facebook.com/geekworldtyler?ref=ts&fref=ts

EDIT: also, we were talking about some possible project m events, and such. i do believe he said tournies will be held if there are enough interest in it.

Thanks. I posted on their wall.

LOL yeah no chance I'm driving out based on the description/lack thereof.

game and watch, just be the TO for their tournament. i doubt they'd care. since we've held our smash tournies there before.

The host is Micheal O Harra or something I don't think geek worlds running it.

I'm gonna ask for more details, he'll probably let me make up a rule-set if I ask.

There are a lot of smashers in Texarkana. Don't want to pile up and come if the turnout is low. Are there a decent amount of confirmed players?

Brawl: 10-12 players from my crew, at least three FGC guys said they wanna play, if I can confirm a good Ruleset, we can likely confirm several DFW and Houston players, probably some Shreveport and the however many Texarkana brawl players.

Melee: less of Tyler plays melee... Probably 3-5 of our crew, at least 3 from the FGC guys, maybe some of the other OoC players, and whoever yalld bring.

PM I have no idea. Half of our crew will just say "nahhhh I don't really care for it THAT much" but they all could say "oooo PM! I'm down!" There's no telling.

DFW def plays PM a lot.

We are more into PM Scene but couple of us can play all three well. Will let you know if we are venturing out in the next few days.

UPDATE:

I have been given permission to run the smash events at this while the main host will have the final say on issues. Meaning I'm like keitaro and he's Alex strife.

As of right now I can confirm legit rule-sets and probably more entrants than any WT? Event yet, if enough of y'all show up. Denti bring a carpool pls xyro just show like its a fest cause you wanted to do that anyways~

As of right now, I can not confirm doubles or a side event, but there will be so many games its gonna be hard to get bored. I'm still waiting to hear of a venue fee, but that's not mad important cause it'd just be $5 making this a cheap expierience for everyone, with $5 singles, unlikely dubs, and all that.

Please do bring set ups, I mean I could get through 30 entrants on 3 setups in that time frame, since its just singles.

I'll try to get start times confirmed, but you might as well show up at 11am and play friendlies/other games.

Some of the FGC guys want MM's. so prepare yourselves(don't rob em blind tho :/)


Concerning P:M we'll see. I actually doubt we'll have a tourney for it.

Edit: no venue fee, just bring $5 per tourney you want to enter, and then however much for food/MM's/like shopping cause geek world is legit.

Greetings everyone,

I am Michael O'Hara, founder of the East Texas Fight Club series of events. Thank you guys for responding how you have in response to the Round One event on the 16th of February. The reason I deferred running your tournament to someone else is, quite frankly; I do not know a lot about Smash Bros (other than it's a Nintendo Gamecube/Wii game with Nintendo (and other characters in Brawl's case) characters in it. I have plenty of experience running tournaments for fighting games, but outside of a tournament with a sub-standard rule-set I organized for my college's game week this past year, I have no experience as a TO for Smash, which is why I explained the aforementioned.

If you guys have any questions about the environment or the tournaments, please feel free to ask me. If I can't give you a answer, I will find the answer for you. If you're having doubts about coming, ask me and I will do my very best to resolve those. Hell, I may enter the Smash tourney as well!

Probably coming to this. I hope doubles get confirmed.

What do we do about icecream being banned?

just a real quick update for those of you who don't have facebook:

The smash tournament signups (along with our other games) will start at 1:30pm on Saturday and end at 3pm.

Cant make the tournament unless i can swap shifts with another associate. But i can make it for some friendlies after 7.

UPDATE:

Brawl Doubles is confirmed

Project: M Singles is confirmed over Melee

Bringing a set up will cost YOU $5. If you plan on bringing one, you need extra money. To remedy this, we will be using money out of the Tyler fund to pay for people's setups for them, but Out-of-City/State takes priority on this. We are willing to spend around $20 for setups.

Free pizza will be provided, seriously. #Trish'sCastle

I don't understand why I am being charged. If Jared wasn't covering my 5$ set up fee I wouldn't be bring one. I was planning on bringing two. I mean if they want us to be at the venue longer sure.

Well, that's just what ETFGC and Geek World agreed upon, apparently.

There will not be a venue fee. Basically, they only charge venue fee if you bring a setup. Although it helps run the events, it costs the venue more money to run, if that makes sense.

Not trying to sound like an *** but I won't bring anything then XD The people who go out of their way to help have to pay.

I understand, but we have a cache of money set aside for things like this. Like, if the venue charges too much venue fee, we have some zeny set aside so we can waive the venue fee for setups.

It is a little different than normal, but we want all the setups possible to run this. There are a lot of events running and we will be somewhat pressed for time. Speaking of which...


UPDATE: Registration will be open at 11AM for Brawl. This is when the venue opens. -----
---
-----We will start around 12PM, noon.

We are graciously allowed to start earlier than planned, due to the interest in Smash for this.

yay. Welp I'll see you guys this weekend.

So hyped! Lesgo!

It was mentioned to me a few of you have a issue with the setup fees I have in place. Let me attempt to clarify if I can ...

As per the verbal agreement made with our venue in January, the $5 fee mentioned previously covers the electricity costs incurred by Geek World for the duration of the meetup and tournaments. This money goes directly to them to offset this cost, and I'm paying setup fees for out-of-towners and for smash players who have posted on Facebook that they were bringing setups as well.

If you guys have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to either PM me here or on Facebook, or email the club's email: easttexasfightclub at gmail dot com. Those emails should come directly to my phone and I go through them typically during downtime from coursework or during slow times interning at the campus helpdesk Tues-Thurs mornings/afternoons.

Thanks,

Michael O'Hara

Electricity charge is understandable. It's just going to be a slighter longer tournament with less set ups. But people being inside your store won't cost electricity so I understand the logic.

Looking forward to attending this.

aww now that we have doubles I have no partnerrrrrr #nopsyrave

Sorry ace. All is not quite lost yet. I may be able to swap shifts with someone.

Swap it up Raaaavvveee I want to see dat Ikeeee
