It don't really sound like a joke to me so I think you really need to work on your delivery skill.
Also I would like to point it out that you could have decent chance to have a conversation about tournament in Super Smash Bros for 3DS and Wii U DLC thread because that's where most of competitive players usually hanging out there. I'm perfectly fine with talking about it here but don't really come in and expect everyone to discuss about something that you wanted. People would comment on it if they are interested to take it further in the discussion.
Also there is someone else and Tripon who could make a tournament thread for you to discuss in. Strange enough, if you want to point out why there is no discussion "DURING the tournament" then why did it isn't occur to you to start a discussion about it. I imagine that it's not that hard to!
So, if there is any tournament that you want to discuss about, just pm Tripon and he would include the tournament to his tournament weekly thread or something like that.
