Smash Journeyman
I asked a couple months ago to see if anyone plays in my area. After no one showed interest on my regional boards, I started asking people locally if they've ever played even a little bit more competitively than 4-player-temple-items-on-high matches. Surprisingly, quite a few have, some have have even been to small back door tournaments in their hometowns. Now what I want to ask is how can I start up a tournament (even though I'm not very experienced at the game itself, I have been to some big tourneys though) for beginners and not overwhelm them with rules, and possibly start up a smash scene here?
I was thinking about starting small, as in just people in my dorm one weekend, put up some flyers with pull tabs giving a link to a post made here about the tournament. That post would show the rules, and show what's needed.
Now the next problem is, how the heck do I get set ups? I've got one, but I don't know how to actually get anyone to bring them if there isn't any benefit...
Ideas, suggestions?
(P.S. I don't live in Texas anymore, I know the scene is huge there, but it's definitely not big in NW Arkansas, where I'm at now.)
