Well, their not smart enough to keep us from taking their States. ;D

Not SMART enough, or not GOOD enough? :rolleyes:


(And keep in mind I didn't play in Oregon States last year)
 
Ugh, this is going to be one hard tournament to make, with finals on monday and all. Anyone willing to give Matt and Michael a ride?
 
Now for one of the anticipated questions:
Do Phazon and I dare run a Melee tournament at State's? I'm up for it if he is, but since the main tournament lasts so long, it may not happen cuz of time. Phazon, help me out here.

Don't just assume it will be OK to run something at a major tournament like States without at least asking Chris, Shawn or myself first. I don't see any problems, but to avoid any complications, figure out what you want to do and let one of us know so we can make sure it fits in with our plans.

Well, I'd be up for it. I'll work out the format with you on the way to the Corvallis CC this saturday.

Hooray for public PM material.
