Looking at maps this might not be to bad to go to once a month... I'd have to talk to some people though... I dont think any of us would be up for losing more money on smash just yet (what with just paying so much for books/tuition... yeah it sucks) so it would be cool if you alternated from tournies to fests... if you do biweeklies I say every other one be a tourney (actually same goes for monthlies) but mostly because I wouldnt plan on making it up for many tournies, rather just the fests untill I get a bit better that is

This is possible for me and some friends but we're two hours away in alexandria so it could probably only be monthly or bi-monthly, for us to attend at least, but we will continue to watch this thread.

biweeklies alternating tourny and no tourny seems like the best idea in the larger sense. that gets my vote.

Update: I have the confirmation of myself and one more guy as willing to attend, and one or two more casual players are showing some interest aswell. Myself and the one other serious player are working on forming an Alexandria team, in case of doubles, working title at the moment. Count on us attending but incase something goes wrong, I will let you know as soon as I can.

yeah, are these tournies going to be singles and doubles? and also are they like 10$ each or what?

There'll be enough time to hold both singles and doubles.

I was thinking of starting off at $10.00 per person/team. I can always change it later if enough people feel it's too much or too little.

Monthly seems to be a good standard and works out pretty well.

also, you might want to puch that date bacxk a little bit if you want more people to come. As the experience goes with River Falls Tournaments, the more advance time there is, the more people come. So mabe towards the end of Sept... just a suggestion.

I can afford to pay no more than 10 dollars per month to get schooled at Smash Bros. I'll chime that I also like the idea of biweeklies, with half being tournies and half being fests. If you do biweeklies, you might get erratic attendence, but I think enough people would come for everyone to have fun. Triweeklies are too hard to keep track of.

quoted for truth and laughs. i would be willing to spend more than that assuming it meant that i would eventually have some hope of winning money at it if i got good enough.

Anyone from st. cloud have a car willing to pick me up for these?

Anything going on THIS saturday? I wanna see if I still know what all the buttons do...

Okay. The format of choice seems to be biweeklies with alternating fests and tourneys.

I'll start with a smashfest on the 9th and the first tournament on the 23rd, so this thread has some time to gather interest. I'll post up the rules a little later.

SDM: I'm not doing anything, but I don't have any transportation now that I'm back at school.

no MK II ? i always thought that stage was up for counterpicks. ah well i don't really think i'll miss it. is FoD going to be on for teams? in some tournies it's been banned becuase it's almost always laggy with 4 people.

Teams will use the same stages, except with Battlefield in place of Fountain of Dreams. FoD is turned off in teams due to frame-rate reduction. All other stages are the same.

Yeah, the framerate gets pretty bad on FoD because there's a lot of stuff moving on the stage.

Note that this ruleset is copied from my old tourney thread from April, which was copied from the FC6 rules.

Yay copy/paste.

I should be able to make it to the one on the ninth, but I doubt I can make it to the tournament.

I have a question regarding stages too. Why have Battlefield and Rainbow Cruise been taken out of Neutral stages?

Edit: Didn't see above post. Didn't know FC6 decided the stages either.

I come right through st. cloud on the way but i'm not the driver this time so i'll have to ask some people before I get any confirmation.

So it starts. I'll be camping (ALRIGHT!) during the weekend of 9th but count me in on the 29th! Word of thought: I think more people will come if you make it $5 per person. The Twin Cities smash scene could really pick up if we all do it right. To get to the main course, you gotta be able to afford the appetizer.

By the way, Bluewolf, is the hall where you stay at hooked up to a router? If so, can you let me know if there are any Halo 2 players there? And anyone wanna play some Street Fighter 3s or KoF 02/03 on the 29th?

The 23rd I might be able to make it, I can't on the 9th I'm working. If I ask for the day off on 23rd and then beg for a ride then yeah I can get up there.

I have aids. That's why I never come here anymore. Give me all your money and I won't even have to show up.

BTW. I lost $5 to a couple scrubs. ;=; Sad panda. Too much herb.

You need megaherbs man, then u wouldn't have lost.

I will try and come to these too

I do need megaherb, but I don't think you can hook me up with a 20 sack =)

Nope sorry Teflon

Heya, me and PK are back so we'll probably be attending. More free money lol.

Where the hell have you guys been?

Well, he's been in milwaukee and I've been nubbin' out.

I've known he's been in Milwaukee, I thought u crawled into a cave with Pebbles and Bam Bam or something.(I wish I could've done that)

Holy crap that's super close...I'm at the U of M (Minneapolis Campus) so I might be able to make it...

Never been to a tourney so I hope I don't screw up the rules or something...

woot another tourney me and chexr will probably be at the tourney not the smashfest

I might be able to come...I'm at St. Johns. I have a friend at St. Thomas who's pretty good by our standards...which isn't bad considering I beat BlueWolf at a fest like a year ago. Teehee. Jkzorz. But I did.

Hey bluewolf, when is this starting, and how bout a projected end time too, gotta find out if its worth the drive

I too don't know for sure if I can make it, but you have my word for the tourney. Not sure if I can afford to travel 2 1/2 hours this weekend, we'll see.

I don't want anyone showing up earlier than noon, since I have to eat and swipe some furniture from the other lounges. I'm not doing anything the rest of the day though, so it'll last as long as people can stay.

Also, I'm second guessing myself now about the entry fee. $15 seems a little steep for a monthly event. Maybe $5 per person/team?

The hardest part about coming to these tournies is that ill have to tell my girlfriend Im going to play videogames instead of hanging out with her.

5 per person for each event is fine with me, but I wouldnt complain to cheapened teams at all... I'll talk to tyler (who would be my ride) tonight and see if we'll be going this weekend and when we plan on showing up if we do... I actually kinda want to wait till the tourney now though... I have improved a lot since disciples tournament

That's good, I'm 75% positive I can make it for the tournament, the smashfest I might arrive late or not at all if I dont get a ride up there and back.

yoshii, that was both the worst and best post I ever read... also I was yelling it in my head...

sadly I dont think I will be making it... Tyler says he really doesn't feel up to it right now... I'm hoping to make the tourney though

You spelled "and" wrong Yoshii
