Le Championnat Super Mario Kart / CDF-CDM development
« le: 22 mars 2016, à 18:49:56 »
Salut tout le monde!
I started a thread on the English forum a couple days ago, maybe this is the better place for it because the topic is especially directed at organisers and frequent participants of the SMK championships. I would like to know a bit more about its history, how the event grew and became what it is today. Based on the information I see on the ffsmk website and the few bits I was told at last year's CDM, I have the following questions:
1) The CDF started with 14-16 players the first couple of years. Did you try more than spreading the word about it on the internet and with friends? Were you lucky to have a strong basis/community in France with 20-30 people who like to come and partly learn the game?
2) When did you start cooperations with sponsors, most important Nintendo France? What does it take to get their attention and sponsorship?
3) When did the CDM draw media interest outside our MK community (local newspapers/TV channel)?
I also appreciate any stories beside answers to my questions above, feel free to write down your memories about the development of this great gathering .
