No, i have a wedding in Utah the day after. So my bad if I need time to think of a way to ditch it.Gotta wait till 11:59 on the deadline mirite?
guys, 85 is cheap as **** to run a tournament of this scale. For perspective, I've only run SMYM 13, I'm too newschool to have been to the previous FCs, and I've never met any of the Kishes in person. I have no vested interest in FC other than as a fan of Melee and a potential participant
For comparison:
Apex 2012 was $30 venue, $15 singles, $10 per person for doubles = $55
Hotel rooms started at $120 a night. ($50 per night discrepancy) No meals were included.
I haven't been following the thread closely, but has anyone mentioned that... POUND V WAS $50 and planck ended up 9k in the red?
I understand the complaints about Sunday-Tuesday schedule since ppl with fulltime jobs need to use vacation days, but given that a pretty large proportion of the smash community is students, I think the tradeoff is probably worth it overall. I'm sure the price difference between Friday-Sunday vs Sunday-Tuesday must have been huge.
If you really think the $30 (~4 hours of minimum wage work) difference (In reality the difference is smaller due to meals and hotel costs) between FC and APEX is enough to prevent you from attending FC, then I'll happily cover the $30 for you out of my undergraduate negative yearly income in exchange for 4 hours of your hard physical labor.
Just like every other FC - a lesson in how not to run a tournament!Hopefully this will serve as a lesson for other TOs on what not to do when running a tourney.
I've only kept an eye on this thread because I wanted to see who's attending and because the FCs are such a huge part of melee's history. I have not posted because I will not be attending despite the fact that being a sunday-tuesday tournament actually makes it easier to attend for me since my job wont give me a full weekend off. That said, I'd like to take a second out of my night to make fun of you for being a complete ****ing *******. Make no mistake, this is not trolling. I will do nothing to try and troll you or anyone else. This is just me insulting you outright for being a terrible person.I don't see the problem with pointing out stupidity or poor planning.
A tournament is pretty much a service done to the community, if they're not going to do it right then they shouldn't bother doing it at all. People have the right to complain about something dumb that should be great. I don't know where you think you come off telling me or anyone else not to complain about it.
Hopefully this will serve as a lesson for other TOs on what not to do when running a tourney.
made my dayThis is just me insulting you outright for being a terrible person.
we've had some really awful trolls latelyHe's probably just a random troll, he made no sense on another thread I bashed him on too.
