The few times I went to a card shop for magic events, the venue started smelling half-way through. Some of these were even casual af events.
The problem with a lot of these things is that the venues are unsuitable for them.
If you put a lot of bodies in a room without ventilation and aircon for any length of time people heat up the space and smells start to get bad. Throw into that some of these people are stressed about their matches too.
Yes some people have bad hygiene but if you put 20 dudes in a card shop without aircon and ventilation it is ALWAYS going to smell.
Smash tournaments have essentially the same problem but it's worse because playing is actually strenuous.
Oh definitely. A lot of these places are furnished like those 'temporary' american school bungalows so they retain a lot of the body heat from attendees.
