The Central Alberta Smash Tournament (abbreviated CAST) is a series of tournaments held in Red Deer, Alberta. CAST grew substantially more popular after the first tournament and began to serve as a gathering for competitive players from all across Alberta.
History
New to the field of tournament hosting, CAST was inspired primarily by Janitor, a figure at the forefront of the fresh and enthusiastic Red Deer smash community. In October of 2006, he arranged to host a tournament at the local Red Deer Public Library and invited local players to attend. Much to his surprise, the announcement garnered interest from the veteran Edmonton players as well as the developing community in Calgary.
The first CAST tournament played host to players from all around Alberta including SHWN, Jiangshadow, FalseFalco, =] and the Pro Impact Players. The unprecendented attendance paved the way for future CAST tournaments and the second occurrence attracted not only much of the same crowd, but even pulled members of the venerable Punch Crew out of retirement.
The second tournament was also held at the Red Deer Public Library and came under some criticism for being a frenzied and disorganized affair. Calgary smasher BackItch was mainly responsible for recovering and re-drawing the faulty tournament brackets and administering the event, as Janitor himself was not up to the task. In an effort to make future tournaments more streamlined and efficient, he has recruited several players across Alberta to help prepare and host CAST.
The third CAST event is slated to occur on August 11th, 2007 in the Snell Auditorium of the library.
