It seems like everytime someone says they're going to host a tourney, it just ends up never happening.
Chris, do you remember the one I hosted in Des Moines? Our first tourney, years ago? Well it was a horrible disaster. Ian hosted one at InPlay a while back, with a fair turnout, but there were only four people there who were actually any good.

We live in Iowa. Tournaments are going to be difficult.

I think a small Des Moines Smashfest (for Melee) would be an excellent idea. I haven't played in a good amount of time and would like to meet with the current scene.

This would also benefit jimbob13i and Kiwikomix, because I'm assuming they have never played tournament-level Smashers, and would probably want Ian and I to crush them before they enter a tournament. [Sorry, just messing with you guys!]

Kiwikomix, we live in Des Moines, probably the highest concentration of skilled players in the state. I'm sure we will have no problem getting at least a handful of players together for some matches.

I think it'd be best if we discussed details in the Des Moines thread, as we do have one around here somewhere.

Good to see people are still playing hard.

It's been far too long since I've picked up a controller with smash on my mind.

How is 515's smash scene now?

I've really only played two or three skilled players or people who could be at tournament level. Whether I win or lose, it'll be good to play someone much better than me, since I've never been to a tourney or Smashfest or whatever.

I could most likely make anything that happens this friday, or this weekend for that matter.
Mayhem would probably not be the best place to do this, that place is terrible. :ohwell:
-BC-, we still haven't played with your crew yet. :laugh:

well i wont be open this friday and sorry to say if we did play it might have to be at ur place, i just recently moved to ankeny and i don't have a wii so i just play at my friends every weekend and they like almost 30 miles away, and the ankeny dmacc itself doesn't hold the tourneys its just a whole bunch of people i know and we all get together someplace big and hold a smash tourney, its nothing official, but its still a good tourney.

Yo quak, I'm about an hour away in Cherokee with some guys that would be happy to play with. How much longer are you there for?

i live in ankeny, im down with a brawl or melee tourney, only ever been to 2 tourneys one at Drake campus and one at ankeny Dmacc, (placed 2nd and 1st)
So Ankeny's Dmacc has a tournament how often? I might be coming to visit a friend there and would be interested in participating.

if your in cherokee, then about an hour and a half, maps.google.com, im in okoboji

what town do you live in? im not really willing to drive anywhere, cause i can jetski as opposed to playing smash, but if you guys want to come up here for a day that'd be cool, we'll have fun.

I was just saying the 20th just to throw it out there. You Des Moines guys should do your smashfests.

The 28th is probably a good date for a tourney. I'm thinking of having Brawl 2v2s and Melee 1v1. Would that be fine with everyone?

(Do I have to make a new thread?)

I have a pretty decent place to hold a tournament.

Is everyone fine with going to Cedar Rapids(Marion) on the 28th? The water should be gone by then.

Yes, just with brawl 2v2 first. Then Melee 1v1. Probably housing if anyone needed. I'll post the address later.

Brawl will be $15.00/team.
Melee will be $10.00/person.

Split probably
60%
25%
15%(or whatever the entry fee was, I always think people'd b feel cheated out if they don't get there money back)

I'm sure all of you'd know the rules for Melee. I don't feel like copying and pasting.

I'm not sure about the rules for 2v2 Brawl though. Could someone tell me?

I'll probably be able to make it if it's on the 28th. Joker and I will be ready to take Brawl teams, but I have to work on my Melee before then :ohwell:. It may be a good idea to make a thread for it if you want more people to show up.
