Two Random Things First:
Realized that I could easily update my top 9 video games to a top 10 by adding Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to the list.
Got half alive concert tickets a while back and then ended up not being able to go because my ride got rather sick that day, so that was a bummer.
The Thing I Ended Up Writing A Lot About:
I qualified for Rexburg Summit, which I'm super happy about. It's a Smash Bros invitational modeled after my favorite tournament series of all time (Smash Summit and Smash Ultimate Summit (for Melee and Ultimate respectively)).
Unfortunately our number 1 player Naters can't attend, although that does mean anyone can win the tournament now, which is pretty hype.
There will be 8 contenders, 1 (was supposed to be 2 with Naters) is a invited spot. Spork got that one because he's super good, but isn't able to come to much, which means it would be harder for him to get in by the second way you can get in which is qualifying through tournaments.
At 5 tournaments (was supposed to be 4 with Naters) there is a qualifying spot available. If you're the top placer at the tournament who hasn't already qualified, you get into Summit. Maguire and I have done this.
So there are three more qualifying spots available. The last two spots are vote-ins. The community gets to choose who they want to see in Summit. People can campaign and such if they want the people to vote for them. Each person gets two free votes for each vote-in slot, plus an additional 3 available for $1 each. All the money goes to the tournament.
It looks like VanBro is going to win round 1, which is what I wanted. Round 2 is still up in the air, but there's momentum for Deju, who would be leaving on his mission the following week after Summit. It would be a great send-off for a great guy.
So currently Spork, Maguire, and I are in. With VanBro and Deju likely. Strong possibilities for the last 3 spots include Penalty, Echo, MetaToaster, and JakeSnake if he chooses to pull up.
