Well it's looking pretty good that my group will make it. You can put us down for a preliminary head count (4-6). Also mark us up for one full set up to be used for melee.

uhhhhhh what?All the pictures
No excuses will excuse what you have done.didn't need to quote it!
we held a tourney at the church right across the street in 2005, i spent about 30 minutes looking for the original thread, but it got lost to the void of the internet somehow :/ was just reminiscing!
I feel that naming it Event 53 or some reference to the Event 52 series would be the best way to go. The most powerful thing about tournaments like SMYM and Pound is that "people went to the last one." Remeber Darkrain goes to every single SMYM still because "he has never missed one." Both Event 52 and Event 52-2 had big turnouts of big names. I highly highly recommend sticking with the name. It will really help this tournament take off because it is coming from one of the more successful midwest tournament series.AmBa LaNce has volunteered to be my Melee TO
And I decided to name it generically, "Battle to End Hunger".
Press releases to follow lol
I guess I don't understand how exactly it is being structured, but yeah having Event 53 in parentheses will probably do it justice. Maybe different threads for each game would help...dk.I have no affiliation with Event 52. I dont' want whoever was in charge of that event to be all mad for me stealing their series and crap.
The melee people can unofficially call it Event 52 or Event 53 if they want, but in terms of advertising it locally, I am going to call it BTEH.
I'd even Parenthetically cite it as such
BTEH (Event 5X)
I doubt you'll get 150 total even as a combo event. 75 each is probably the upper limit.Yeah, the only problem with making it a "national" is that I feel like the venue can only hold about 150 people. I could check max occupancy limits, but I think 150 is about right.
And we wouldn't have enough housing to support OoS'rs so they'd have to motel it up.
Melee or Brawl or both?Nebraska will more than likely be here.
Probably like 5-6ishhow many can you host?
We won't be mad at you ><. Yes the name is associated with the kc crew, but we're the ones running the melee side of things anyway so nothing is being stolen. The previous E-52s have all gone very well so calling this one E-52 is a positive thing. Also I like your idea for BTEH, glad we're using bothI have no affiliation with Event 52. I dont' want whoever was in charge of that event to be all mad for me stealing their series and crap.
Both, since I play both, both works. Trent plays Brawl. JB<M plays Melee. Both.Melee or Brawl or both?
I like 4 am tournaments. I feel I'd do the best around then.Letting you know right now. If you intend to do pools AND brackets in the same day, this tournament is going to end at 4AM.
Suggestion: Don't do pools. Pools are really only useful for elimination uses, since if there's "no fear" of being knocked out of bracket, people do tend to not try as hard, thus making it random seeding, thus wasting ALL the time you just did to do pools.
Pools take FOREVER as well, especially since people don't play their matches because they think their "too good" to play them out right away. I believe you'll be determined to do pools, regardless of what I say. So just letting you know, I called it, when it's past midnight and the tournament is still going on.
Pretty much this.Letting you know right now. If you intend to do pools AND brackets in the same day, this tournament is going to end at 4AM.

Region seeding isn't that bad if you do it right. Seems like every time somebody from the same group ends up playing first round though.Dropped doubles pools. Will go to random seeding tempered by region
