So there was a Smash tournament at Maclean yesterday. It was Melee, of course, so I wouldn't have stood a chance if I had entered (actually, Rick entered, so I could have at least beat him... but probably noone else), but I went to watch. Well, I had gotten up maybe around 11 PM that day, so by the end of the doubles I was honestly falling asleep and didn't stay for the singles.
Aaron went, intending to enter in the singles, but decided not to when he found out how long it was going to take. Just from playing against and watching the people there, though, he estimates he was probably about the 5th or 6th best there. I thought Jack would enter but he didn't show up.
It wasn't very tournament-like, I have to say. No big "THESE ARE THE RULES, THIS IS THE FORMAT, HERE ARE THE STANDINGS, THESE GUYS ARE PLAYING OVER HERE, WE START NOW" announcements or anything. You wanted to see the standings, you went over to the computer and looked at them on the tournament software itself! I had no idea it was a double-elimination tournament until I looked at the bracket display, I never knew which people made up which team, and when it started, I didn't even realize it had! Well, it worked, regardless.
Also, where the hell can I get some matzah around here?!
