I'll be here next friday. ;o My fault that I could not make it this time around.
Everyone try and come. A ride WOULD be awesome if anyone lives nearby me so I can avoid public transportation.
I live in Germantown.

CP Tournament Resurgence Announcement

I want to hear what people think of having regular Melee tournaments at CP, like monthlies or biweeklies, in addition to Friday smashfests on off weeks.

As of recently, ChRed has indefinitely defected his status as tournament organizer and possibly goer, although he will likely help me facilitate to some extent. Yes, me. I have resolved to step up to the plate as the chief planner and overseer of such events.

Those who attend the smashfests will reasonably be folks from the local MD/VA district, but it is entirely possible that our tournaments will attract OOS interest, as they have in the past. Therefore, the Melee community not only in CP will be enriched, but as broad as the entire EC as well. *Amen*

I am also contemplating the possibility of constructing a power ranking of CP event regulars. This PR will be managed (inductions approved and changes exerted upon) at the authority of a panel as yet unelected. I want to get input on this idea as well.

I would like to go to more smashfests (preferably as close as possible) , I'll probably have some friends interested as well, but above all, I'd like to improve my game, meet new people. Sounds cool, GL w/ that venture.

I love how joe made that sound all official and ****.

Personally i don't know why there aren't MD/VA power rankings for melee.

We'll have fairly regular tourneys again (Travis running Aftershock, and PLank said he would be hosting stuff).

Sounds awesome. You should definitely pursue this. The power rankings exclusive to CP will definitely brew up some competition, which is always good. :laugh:

tournaments require money bro.
smashfests are free. I'd rather smashfests than tournaments because you get to play as much as you want for free.

There will be more competitive players at the tournaments. The venue is free, so you can play all the friendlies you want if you're worried about money.

Hey, Chivalruse, I can bring another full setup for this Friday. Is there any way I could get there around like 3-4 to avoid rush hour?

This is all dependent upon the weather. **** driving in the snow.

I'll probably get there at 4-4:30 to avoid traffic too (I have class till 1:00 PM).

I'll repost this here since I bet more people are subscribed to this thread than the other one right now:

*IMPORTANT*
I just thought of a fantastic idea. I was planning on attending 2 fests this weekend. I was thinking of going to the fest in CP this Friday, then driving back to Charlottesville for the night, waking up, and driving 4.5 hours to a Brawl/Melee tourney called 99% Melee in North Carolina on Saturday. I could still do that; the idea still sounds pretty good to me. However, I'd rather attend Tunes' biweekly in New Jersey (3 hours from CP) because it'd save me 3 hours of driving, probably have a few better players, and be exclusively Melee. So what I was thinking was that I'd go to Tunes' with 4 other people carpooling with me. The catch is that I'd need to be able to sleep somewhere on Friday and Saturday nights. So I'd be willing to drive anyone in CP for free in exchange for a floor to sleep on.

Whoever can't house me can come too, but would have to pay a little gas (sorry; it won't be much if we can get a full car). If we have more than 4 people who want to come, people with setups will have priority. If no one is interested in heading up to Jersey with me, I'll just go to North Carolina like I planned. Either way, I need to know interest for this proposal soon.

TELL ME NOW IF YOU WANT TO COME.

There is a suppose to be a blizzard that will last all weekend. 8-10 inches of snow. If this is true, can't make it this friday.
Seems like whenever I make plans to do anything at all I get constantly snow canceled.
I'm REALLY starting to hate this state and I have only been here for a month. I will never move any farther up north. =\

Maryland usually gets very minimal snow. It's a fluke :p

I will be around, anyone who wants to come can, snow or not, and since it's not even below freezing right now we prolly won't get as much as they're forcasting.
