So is M.A.D. just a one time tournament, or should I refer to it as M.A.D. I, II,III,IV, etc when I upload the videos?

 

[Dobs1007]

Any update on free parking? I know most meters have a 3hr limit...

The most reliable place for parking is Blatimore Street, which is here in relation to the venue, so its about four blocks away, also a safe area, although if you have tvs, it would probably be beneficial to drop them off before parking, and if you need help getting to Baltimore or finding parking in general I'm willing to help

If anyone else from UPenn knows where reliable free parking is, it could deff help, all I know is there is metered and some free parking on campus, sorry, I don't drive so it never affected me until now ;-;



So

Hello. I've never been to a tournament before and I was curious as to how team tournaments go. You see, I don't have any friends in the competitive community and in interviews of smashers, it sounds like you just pair up with random people if you don't know anyone. So could someone tell me: is that what usually happens at tournaments?; People just pair up with other random people they just meet there? Thank you ^-^

Welcome to smashboards.

A lot of the lower level players just pair up with random smashers that they meet there. Average/Higher level players either have permanent team mates (more or less) or they message each other online or call each other and ask if they want to team. Chances are, there will be a few other newbies that you can converse with and play with before asking/deciding to team with them.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe attending.

Not 100% sure.

Yeah I'm not interested in just holding one. So you could call it M.A.D I or M.A.D. (I usually thing that the original is just without a number, and than others coming in sequence have a number added)

tl;DR Yeah add the I. M.A.D I. : D I want to have more MAD's.

 

[LLDL]

Oh yeah, put BRING TV'S we can't afford not to have people bring them.

 

[ranmaru]

Yeah I did that. : D And yeah, I'mma do brackit. I want people to have fun with pools, but the time won't allow that.

So brackets.

 

[LLDL]

Nice. And did you ever get a laptop and stuff for tio? And tell me if you need help seeding and etc. I'm sure you'll run it fine though. I'm mad hyped.

 

[CRITPOKO]

ahh I see, okay thanks!

 

[Metal Reeper]

[ThunderSt0rm]

Nobody but Thunder knows

I think......

 

[Eggm]

This tourney is gonna ****. Can't wait.

 

[Plairnkk]

i may spur of the moment go


u should try to start singles before that if possible, u should always allow more time for singles esp if we gotta be kicked out at 10!


also i wanna not have to drive home from philly too late. are all the md cars full?

 

[ranmaru]

@Chainace: Well we (July and Vorosh) have two, and with yours would make three. : D Both of theirs have tio, so one could be used for brackets, and the other two could be used for recording. : D

@Plank: Yo, I agree. But I want to do teams first. But yes I want to allow more time for singles since we have to leave at 10.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

I'm bring my laptop too, if anyone needs me to put stuff on it then tell me soon.

Regardless, I'll need something to do on the ~90min train ride aka laptop.......

 

[Plairnkk]

yea i meant before the scheduled time, not before teams, of course! =D i dont think ill be down for making the drive though, and i dont think anyone from the area has space ><

If the issue is gas money, DJ and I can chip in cause his car is having some issues so it doesn't look like we'll be able to make it otherwise.

Also, sorry if that ends up crapping on the TV situation. :/

BRING TV'S GUYS

We only have one tv so far. : D

 

[Kasumi]

Okay, I'm coming. Sadly, I'm going back on the train, so I don't think I'll bring the mini TV I brought to Chibo's.

 

[July]

Ok, see you there bro. Yeah, thanks for trying with the tv.

Btw everyone! If you are joining teams come sign up! Let me know if you are on the way and plan to play teams!

[otg]

Good luck to Ranmaru in hosting, and to everyone in playing today. Nando, don't get *****.

 

[ranmaru]

Thanks man! I'm doing fine for now. I'm being loud with my matches and getting ppl off tv's but I do ask chainace questions about the bracket and stuff. It's pretty hype.

Also Talwind is here.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]
