Housing Status



Gojira
I am able to house people who drive into the tournament(max carpool of 3-4) , and then relocate the same day depending on the situation.

FTS
FTS is our number one houser who is probably going to house all the big name pros that come, and will probably be the location of whoever drives to be housed at my house, may be re-located here depending on what happens

KC
It is possible KC will be housing, however, I must talk to him some more before housing.

!!!Housing will be limited and it is FIST COME FIRST SERVE WHEN WE ADVERTISE IN OTHER THREADS!!!

Price for tourney is now posted + there is more detailed info for Money Matches.

10/02/06
Donations for Pros are now being accepted ahead of time. Look up for the Donation section.

10/11/06
this covers some of the most recent questions

All the prize money is going to go to the pot except maybe 10-20% wich is going to cover food.

Lower entrey fee if you paricipate in less events? NO, the entry fee cover all days of competition ( thats right I said days, this may become a three day tourney if it become big enough)
- HOWEVER-
We will be doing eat and no eat B1g @$$ U$t passes, which means you will only have to pay for the event itself. This means you can take 20% off the entry fee and thats how much you must pay to enter.

AZ will most likely come if they know there are going to be other pros coming so long as they decide to come in the first place.

Finally, as for the number of pros coming, we will have to wait until the advertising campaign begins, and how many donations we get. Remember, if you donate for the pros, you will be allowed to play the pros at FTS's house in between tourney nights. Even if you are a close friend of FTS, your not allowed in the house unless you have donated

10/31/06
The the prices for the tickets and spectator badges is now in the Entry section.

11/05/06
Schedule section added with ESTIMATED schedule. The location once decided will trigger the advertising campaign.

12/07/06
Date added as well as location

....I'll be there XD

I would come, but I'd have to decide between this and the other Big *** UST recently posted... hmm, decisions decisions...

=) See ya guys there (hopefully).

Well, since they both will be sometime on October - April, it's likely that they won't be very close together. You might be able to make it to both

Hey Guys

I didnt mean to do that O_O let the other one die obviously

Hmm... wonder if I could pick up a low teir character here soon....

Bowser DK and ness are in my Opinion some of the best low tiers....as well as Link

The word "Utah" definitely needs to be in the thread title. Anybody who isn't already part of the Utah Smash group won't have a clue what U$t is. Likewise, same with the calendar. I got a few new people at the Neumont tournament because they stumbled across the thread (which they wouldnt' have done without the word "Utah"); Of course, they got creamed, but I'm probably going to be meeting with them this weekend, so hopefully they can build up a bit more by the next tournament.

I have added some small updates to the tourney info.

Perfect Chaos said:

Wait, what characters are playable in the Low Tier tournament? (To save time, just say the highest tier character usable instead of listing everyone.)

Getting twice what UST5 got is going to be difficult to beat. I look forward to finding out which pro player(s) you'll be able to get this time, Gojira.

I think we are going to use the last tier list.

Woah, there's a new tier list actually.

Top Tier:
Fox
Falco

High Tier:
Sheik
Marth
Peach

Middle Tier:
Captain Falcon
Ice Climbers
Samus
Doctor Mario
Jigglypuff
Mario
Ganondorf

Low Tier:
Link
Luigi
Donkey Kong
Roy
Young Link
Pikachu

Bottom Tier:
Yoshi
Zelda
Mr. Game and Watch
Ness
Bowser
Kirby
Pichu
Mewtwo

Low tier and below should be adequate and fitting of a 'low tier tourney'.

I'll see what I can do about work.... But a better date than 2 different months would be quite beneficial to me.

Perfect Chaos said:

The "last" as in the most recent or the very bottom tier-group? If it's the bottom then only Pichu and Mewtwo are usable...

Here's the tier list:

Top Tier
Sheik
Fox
Marth

Upper Tier
Peach
Falco
C. Falcon
Samus

High Tier
Jigglypuff
Dr. Mario
Ganondorf
Mario
Ice Climbers

Middle Tier
Luigi
Link
Roy
DK
Pikachu
Zelda

Lower Tier
Ness
Young Link
Yoshi
Kirby
Mr. Game & Watch
Bowser

Bottom Tier
Mewtwo
Pichu


So can you futher clarify who'll be usable in the low tier tournament?

I updated the post with the characters that can be used in the low tier tourney.

I am excited about this one, the only problem is that i wasn't able to get that hotel, so we still need to find a place to host it.

Hey Hey

I have added a rather important update.

And a rather important update indeed.

With fifty dollars as an entrance fee, that sir, counts me out. See'ya at UST10 or 11 though.

Start saving your money. The $50 covers several tournaments, food, and transportation, not just a singhle tournament. This tournament is meant to attract pros and OOS to Utah. This will definitely be your best chance to play or even meet them at all. It's going to be worth it.

If any pros are coming to this tournament, count me in. Its a well spent 50 bucks, even if my chances of winning is 0%. not to sound like a dumb @$$, but can we eat as much as we want and what do mean by transportation?
anyways...heres my pro wish list
Hugs, Isai, Ken, Azen, PC Chris... mostly Hugs so he can show me how to really use a samus.

several tournaments, food, and transportation

Click to expand...

I'd only enter singles and teams, I don't eat that much, and I drive myself everywhere anyway.

The most I'd pay is $25.00.

Hugs is one of the pros I would also like to see return

I am going to start accepting donations for pros to come to Utah. All donations will be added together then split between pros who say they will attend. I am going to help pay AZ's Carpool if they decide to come as well as Cort's, KillaOR's and Hayoto's plane tickets if they themselfs are interested. However My job is not hig paying enough to help all of the pros I want to help, hence the creation of donations.

P.S. I am also going to do what OC2 did for the japanese. Top three donaters will be allowed to be housed with the pros at FoxTheStampedes house.

**** it! Why is Roy not in the low tier tourney ? That means I have to learn another low tier character XD.

But seriously if Link, DK , Pikachu, and Zelda are in I say include Roy in the list.

Buzz said:

If this tournament is in 2007 then odds are I can attend.

Can I make the web site again? I think I did pretty good last time.

Click to expand...

can i see this web site?

The only website that will be put up this time around is a pre-registration Website designed by some people I know.

!!!!!Housing Portion Added!!!!!!!!!!

Could we look into some lower cost options (for example, people who aren't doing teams, crew, or low-tier). $50 is a bit over what I'll do, unless the food is fresh Sushi and you have 10 pros.
I just wonder if $50 means that you get 2 pros to come play against 5 people in Utah and a couple from Idaho.

You under-estimate Gojira's hosting/organizational abilities by a lot. I would probably consider only getting 10 pros to be a failure.

So how many pros are you expecting to be able to convince to come?(and which pros are you talking to)

Well, if I see committments from enough pros, I would consider coming. Also, other notable (but not pro) players like Nealdt, Dyna Dash, or N64 would increase my chances of coming.

BTW, what is the largest number of pros we've had at a UST?

AZ isn't going to be very happy about you saying Taj is their only "pro". What about everyone else from AZ you didn't stand a chance of defeating?

What has anyone else from AZ done? Not that Idaho or Utah hasn't done far less, but just because they're better than us doesn't mean they're pro. They have to have some real accomplishments before they can be called pros.

Maybe instead of pros we should just say 'people far better than you'? You meaning whoever reads that from the Idaho/Utah/etc. area?
