Unlike other tournaments at the time (2002-2004) Matt Deezie created a much more professional environment by spending his own money for prizes and travel stipends, accommodating living expenses by renting hotel rooms, and for bringing Japanese smashers, including Japan's best player at the time (2004), {{sm|Captain Jack}}, to the US. As a result Matt Deezie is credited with helping develop both the national and international scene. | Unlike other tournaments at the time (2002-2004) Matt Deezie created a much more professional environment by spending his own money for prizes and travel stipends, accommodating living expenses by renting hotel rooms), and for bringing Japanese smashers, including Japan's best player at the time (2004), {{sm|Captain Jack}}, to the US.
