I have some things to say.
1: I accept responsibility for ****ing up. It was a bad misclick in tio, and I am not a good enough TO to have fixed the problem smoothly. If I was a great TO, I would have been able to handle it. I am not.
2: I am not an amazing TO in the sense of running/bracket making. I can handle mid-sized regionals, which is what I expected this to be. It turned into much more. I am completely inexperienced when it comes to tournaments of this size.
3: On the positive side, I think I did a remarkable job finding a good venue and especially getting unique top-knotch players from various regions (the like of which only SMYM has come close to recently), and hyping the tournament. This is what I am certainly good at, and I think it does go largely unnoticed and unnappreciated.
4: I also feel as if I did a very good job organizing and preparing for the tournament. I had an amazing housing list, and to my knowledge, everyone got housed that wanted it.
5: IN THE END, the tournament finished on time, and without any big conflicts besides Lemons that Kirkq helped fix. Thanks to those that helped.
6: I am a prideful person and I care too much about how I am viewed by the smash community. I know at this point I need to admit that I was simply in over my head running a tournament of this size.
7: I am not gay at all, wtf lol. idk why everyone believed one gay joke that BunBun made after the 10 million gay jokes that are made in the smash community every day.
So to say it simply, I am sorry to those who are upset, however I think that most everyone had a good time. I tried my best and with help was able to keep it together and we finished on time with a full 64 man bracket (thanks 18spikes and Kirkq) and without any shortcuts.
