having a venue just for smash would be pretty cool, but i think saturday is just a way more flexible day. plus maybe you'll get more entrants from those random people at the venue.

edit: wait a sec, 6 pm to 11 pm? :o hm this is harder than i thought

My vote would be Sunday since, not only do we have the venue to ourselves, we also have much more time to get the tourney finished.

And an IL Crew would be pretty cool :)

I would love to join the crew, and either day is fine by me. Sunday seems technically better due to more hours, but Saturday is typically a day where others have off. My vote would be to whichever day has the most versatility.

That is essentially the issue at hand.

More hours would definitely be better to hold a tournament, but Saturdays in general are the better day to host tournaments in terms of scheduling.

I really wish there was an easy solution, but in the end I'm going to need some more feedback. And I will try and get some more details regarding the venue...and perhaps more people can make a more informed decision on the matter.

But yeah, I'll look into more stuff...while I await some more feedback.

EDIT:

Also, who's all going to this? --- http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=239788

I believe it's just Arty now. I can't go.

Edit: Would we even be able to to run a tourney in 5 hours if we do it on Saturday? Especially if a good amount of people show up.

Yeah, the ONLY issue i see with Sunday is if people are available or not. I myself would prefer Sunday for the more hours and the like...but that's also because I'm free both days. And if it matters, it would open up the possibility of going to some tourney Saturday then having ours the next day... xD But that might be a bit much...

In any event, what ook said. :D

And about the tourney this Saturday...can I hitch a ride with someone? If so, when would you guys be leaving?

Also also, if you guys(ook, arty, whoever) don't have a teammate yet...care to team?

I was going to drive, but some college stuff came up for Quik and he's going to need the car. So now I have no idea is I'm going. Are any of you guys driving? I can only stay for Saturday, so idk if that's a problem or not.

Edit: Xyless are you still in Chicago? If so, and if you're going, I can possibly take the bus to your house, in the case that you're driving.

AIM is captainchemox.

I can get in touch with you guys after work today.

Or call/text at 224-805-3480.

Also, if either of you are interested, Akashi and his friend Turkey are coming over to my house tomorrow to play some Brawl, though they aren't going to the tournament the next day.

Is it sad that I feel like I played better with my Wiimote/Nunchuk than I do with the GC controller? Ever since I transitioned, I've placed horribly in comparison :\

I'm hoping to get some decent vids of the DePaul brigade sometime soon. Someone (cough POLSKA cough) has had videos for quite sometime now but hasn't bothered to upload them :(

And geez some of the games on ILbrawl are really short...most of my games last easily over 5 minutes looool. Yay for slow paced, passive-aggressive, campy characters that abuse the same move over and over!

In friendlies, my matches last 2-3 min. But in tournaments, they can go as high as 6-7 min. lol

Man, that reminds me...no one never uploaded my Solimar challenge replays from PnTV. I could've sworn they were on Norm's Wii, but I have no clue.

That'd be the only chance we'll see it in action during a tourney and work extremely well.

Any videos you want on IllinoisBrawl should be sent to me. Either through FCs, or via sending the replay files directly. Either method works. :)

EDIT: Illinois MPS tourney outing video is going up now!
