I’m so glad AK addresses the smell problem at smash tournaments. He really explains the cause and effect that bad hygiene has on our potential investors and image as a scene. His plan to solve this smell with deodorant kits is something that I hope more tournaments adopt.

Smash tournaments are too expensive now but to make money/fundraise we need high attendance, but to get high attendance you need to be a major, but if you have high attendance you also need top players to be a major, so you gotta spend money to get people to come make it a major
