While you're here, here's the sheet music for the operatic version.
This goes for both online and offline ones. This is gonna be a bit long so please bear with me.
I can say this because I've done both and all it took was 1 tournament I joined a looooong time ago for me to learn this lesson the hard way. I thought things would be fine and that nothing bad would happen, but then uncontrollable factors such as the electricity suddenly getting cut proved me otherwise.
While organizers have it way rougher since they actually have to manage the entire event, players can have it rough too as they could run into problems involving their internet connection, opponents, personal matters, etc.
There are always gonna be problems no matter what and it's always best to know what they are and what you can do to prevent them. Sure there might be some that can't be avoided, but it's important that you're able to deal with them so that nothing gets ruined. Again, organizers have it way harder since they have more responsibilities to deal with, but that's why they have staff that they should rely on and trust to get the job done.
So basically, what I'm trying to say is that everyone involved in a Smash tournament should be able to work together in order to have a fun and successful event. If one side does all the work and the other does nothing, then for sure it's gonna be one hell of a disaster. So if you're a player? Do your best to follow the rules and procedures you've been given to make sure that things go smoothly. If you're an organizer? Then do what you can to make sure players encounter little to no problems at all.
I'm lucky enough to say that me and my friends have held a good amount of tournaments and, minus a few uncontrollable hiccups we've encountered, they've pretty much been great and smooth.
If you're planning on hosting or joining one for the first time, then I made something that may help prepare you for it. You don't have to click on it but I'm just hoping that I got my message across.
