any1 wish to bump this to the FL threads?

 

[CrypTik]

I can bring my wii with melee and a dazzle.

 

[Dar1u5]

Thank you, I appreciate it. You're free to join my friend :D DO I may not have a laptop, but see if you can find a way to record the main games and post on youtube once we'ree done

 

[Two-Ell]

wow when I thought about it and looked at the FL thread. There's pretty much not one Melee tourney going on in CFL or SFL this weekend. Good job stepping up and hosting something for this week.

 

[Dar1u5]

No problem man, I felt like I had to step up to the plate for SFL :D

 

[Two-Ell]

I'm sure everyone will appreciate your effort. I hope you have fun running this.

 

[CrypTik]

There is only one problem I have. I have SATs this saturday so I was wondering when I could get there. I should be there by atleast 12.

Edit-And the standard fee is 10 bucks for singles and 20 per team(10 per player). Just saying... Don't know if you want to change it or leave it at 5.

 

[Two-Ell]

Lower fee might be an incentive to some people.(at least for me if I were able to get there lol) Up to you in the end ofc

Standard is usually 10

 

[Dar1u5]

Yeah, its fine, I'm probably not starting the tourney till 1-2pm, so I just wanted to have a bunch of friendlies for the guys that need to warm-up their old skills

i would, but I want to make sure everyone could afford it. $25 is alot for a bunch of high school guys just lookin to have some fun. Maybe another time when we get some more smashers from SFL.

 

[CrypTik]

Yeah, I thought about that. Newer players to the scene would probably prefer a lower fee but I was just informing him of the standard price at most tournaments. Not forcing anything on him.

 

[Dar1u5]

Just trying to get as many ppl as possible for us to whoop :D Hopefully we can team for the doubles tourney since I got no one else

 

[CrypTik]

Me and you team? I wouldn't mind... if I hadn't already asked a guy in my crew. Sorry.

 

[Dar1u5]

Ah, thats alrite

Hey 2link, do you know of any easy way to create double-elim brackets, and what to do about pools if there more than 30 ppl? Help is greatly aprreciated

 

[CrypTik]

Download Tio. It's a great program for making brackets.

Here's a link to Tio. That page also has links to a user guide and what not. Hmm pools? well they're an awesome way for people to get more bang for their buck. You need to really think about time though. I'm sure Melee Pools aren't really as bad as Brawl's is in terms of length, but you'll need to make sure you keep to your schedule.

 

[Dar1u5]

wow, this thing works wonders thnx

 

[Dar1u5]

bump, bu-bump it up!!!

 

[Dar1u5]

bump2datop

 

[Dar1u5]

one more bump for good luck

 

[Two-Ell]

You're kinda discouraging people from posting in here when you constantly bump the thread like this. Plus it's against the site rules to be doing that.

 

[Dar1u5]

sorry, im kinda new to the site, didnt know...

 

[Two-Ell]

hmm it's fine. It's just frowned on to double post(posting after yourself) in forums. A better way to get word out on your tournament would be to go to social threads for your region of FL and post your tournament in there to see if you can garner interest.

Since you live in South FL, what you should do is go here to advertise.

Don't be too pushy with it though. Just use it to grab their interest.

 

[Dar1u5]

Thank you again for helping out a forum newbie like me :D

 

[nicaboy]

yo no one in our area knows about this. well i would have came but i work.

i honestly think if ur trying to have a tournament u should postpone it if you want a good response. we are very busy. many of us school work family friends girlfriends have things we do. im sure we would like to know in advance to plan acordingly.

anyway i"ll try and go to the next one .

 

[Dar1u5]

I will try to plan another one next month, I just wanted to have a year-end tourney before everyone goes off for winter vacation :D

 

[spider_sense]

If this still goes down, I might show to this since I have to be around the area anyways.

 

[Shadows]

If you're still going to show up, its already set up and we're getting a couple of friendlys in
