Lemme stop you here for just a minute. To start this off, I write as a volunteer for SEVEN websites now producing content for free. On top of my newest job where I'm payed to write, that's 9 websites. I got a wife and kid too. I'm a very busy man.



A fter every single week asking on Twitter for events to cover, I pushed hard on /r/smashbros for people to help out submitting events they'd like covered recently (seriously, free media presence on multiple websites for a few minutes time and it couldn't hit the front page). Every single week these very stories have asked for folks to submit the tournaments they think I should be covering in the future. I have a nice little form linked above I've spread all over the place to submit events. It takes less than a minute to pop me a message on Smashboards either with a link to the thread saying "hey can you cover this" too.



It's insulting after all that work maybe one person sends in an event every now and then and I have to grab the tournaments I know are going on from talking to friends to use because I'm incredibly busy working for free to help our community grow for upwards on 8 hours a day every day (while trying to work a real job too) that every single week someone comes in angry I didn't catch one event or another on these lists. The folks who throw around insults or act indignant when doing so just make it worse.



Now normally I'd be up for covering it, especially since it looks to be a good event but the article is up and spread on social media and my title with six tournaments to watch is set not to mention I have deadlines for tomorrow I'm not going to. Next time pop me a quick message and you'll find yourself on the top of the list (an honor I tend to reserve for the fine folks who send me events as a sign of thanks).
