Hey there,
so finally here is my application for the Tournament Host Certification program:
I'm Tero (formerly known as $hYne on AiB and smashboards), a smasher from europe or more specifically germany.
I've been on this site since back in the days when it was called tia.
I've hosted several tournaments in my hometown Freiburg since 06, not exactly sure how many but it should be more than 20, many small ones but also some pretty big ones, including
Smash Royale, the biggest german melee/brawl tournament ever and one of the biggest european tournaments in 08 with ~70+ attendants (52 of them participating in Melee Singles, the main event; sadly tournament attendance in europe is way lower than in the usa).
Additionally I started a series of smaller monthly tournaments in 07 (the first series of recuring tournaments in germany), i had to pause them because of my scholl examination, but i started another series of monthlies this year.
Beside the tournaments i host myself, i also help out with seeding, bracket making and other stuff on nearly every german tournament i attend, I've been actually running two or three tournaments where i wasn't involved in from the beginning, during one of those the computer crashed and i had to run the whole tournament in pen and paper form, i'm pretty trained in bracket theory by this time.
Tournament links:
Smash Royale (biggest german tournament ever)
Freiburg Monthly #3 (featured this week!)
SF CologneSF Ibbenbueren (I wasn't the host but i did ALL the tournament stuff)
(all of those are in person tournaments ofc)
I don't have AIM installed on my computer at the moment, but i'll be downloading it soon, then i will contact you. (my AIM is Tiiro89)
In the end i'd like to mention that my english is not that perfect, but i hope everything was understandable.
