[lonejedi]

I think im gonna change the date to November 4 and the time to 4pm to 9pm sorry about that had some issues.

[Cra$hman]

if you can guarantee atleast 15 local people, me and my crew is probably in.

[element_of_fire]

thanks for moving it... couldn't have made the 29th... wow so much action in WI lately :):):)

[Cra$hman]

oh, its on a friday, thats gonna be really hard to make, we have school and stuff. well, i get off at 1:20, so if anyone else in my crew can do it, i guess i'm still in. provided theres enough people of course

[Cra$hman]

can you consider bumping the entry fee up to $10 to make this a little more worthwhile? and also, we need to know how much money is going to the location, and the exact pot split.

[EarthBowser]

You people should live closer to Iowa.

You also might want to think about the stages more. Might want to ban a few and not make the finals only on FD.

[eugey]

Friday in general isn't going to work for me until after 6PM. And that particular Friday just isn't going to work period. But anyway, some actual (and possibly useful) input...

How is the character select going to work?
Presumably double blind picks, at least for the first round? After that, is it double blind again or advance slob picks?

And regarding the finals:
I agree with EB. Don't make the finals only on FD. (And my opinion is that Pokemon Stadium is more fair anyway... though it can get boring at times with some of its forms when people just stand there ans wait for the stage to change again)
And I'd suggest not making it one match, 20 stocks. Though I suppose that depends on what sort of result you're looking for. My opinion is that if two people are really close in ability, that match could very well come down to who properly guessed which character to counterpick. Though if you want the winner to be the person that is the best with one character that can take on just about any opponent, rather than someone who relies on counterpicking characters in order to win, then your way makes a bit more sense. I personally think that having a chance to counterpick characters is more fun.

However, since I'm not going to be able to make it, you certainly don't have to listen to anything I say.

[Tapion013]

Finals is one 20 stock match? Wow that is absolutely insane....

[lonejedi]

Alright guys thanks for the ideas, i think you are right, Ill bad some levels, and for character picking you must keep with your character through a whole round, if you want to switch characters you must wait till the next round, and as for the finals, ill make it best3/5 5 stock with more levels open. I don't know if i want to raise it to 10 dollars, but ill have to think about it. Thanks for the tips.

[Cra$hman]

is there much local interest for this thing? maybe try to advertise it a little bit, like fliers in your school or something.

[lonejedi]

Yah im gonna be on that, but just wanted the more professional players to know about it in advance so they have time to plan for it

[spybloom]

1. Steven
2. spybloom
3. spybloom@yahoo.com
4. Appleton

I also have one from a friend who doesn't have a SWF account

1. Jen
2. CIL
3. Orbomancer@yahoo.com
4. Little Chute

I have more friends who would most likely want to join, so I'll post them later after I tell them about this.

[spybloom]

a note about the places: can you make it so that all of the scrolling ones are gone? I noticed that pokie floats and rainbow ride aren't on the banned list. Also, Onett, Yoshi's Story, and Mushroom Kingdom's I and II people might not like.

[Cra$hman]

with the ol' edit button in bottom right of your post you should change the first post with the new rules so folk have the right idea from the get go

[lonejedi]

Thx for the for the tip Crashmen, i sometimes forget about the edit button, oh and Spybloom how old are you because i might go to the same high school you go to if you are as old as I am.

[lonejedi]

BumpBumpBump

[teflon_climbers]

I'll see if I can make it, but I'm planning on going to BOMB4, so we'll see if I have the cash to come to this as well.

BOMB4 NUGGAS WILL BLOW YOU AWAYZ.

[lonejedi]

From here on out I would like everyone who is coming to post here, it is not exactly a rsvp but I need a rough estimate of how many people who are coming that are on these boards. Thanks

[Cra$hman]

if you can guarantee atleast 10 other people at this thing, then 2 or 3 will be coming from madison.
we just need to make sure we can get atleast our gas money if we win.

[lonejedi]

Yes there will be at least 10 there, im expecting at least 20 and at most 40. Lots of Smash players at the school I go to.

[lonejedi]

To everyone that is coming, if you want to, you can bring your Gamecube, a memory card, and a tv, although we are going to have 4 of each already, another couple of tv's would be nice so things would go more smoothly

[teflon_climbers]

will you ahve four boobs there too?

[Cra$hman]

alright, 3 from madison

[lonejedi]

Can you brings some tvs and cubes

[Cra$hman]

no, i don't think we can, sorry.

[yoshii]

If teflon goes, I go.

[teflon_climbers]

Teflon's not going.

[Aarosmashguy]

i can go but need a ride how about my new madison crew pick me up ehh crashman =)

[DarkRoom]

Teflon's not going.
[yoda voice]That is why you fail.[/yoda voice]

[sophmeat]

Probably 2 - 4 from Madison (its Nov 4 right?)

email sent

[lonejedi]

Yes, it is November 4

[Cra$hman]

would anyone mind if i wore my halloween costume to this?
i bought this kickass MnM costume and it pisses me off i'll only get to use it once.

[lonejedi]

MnM? Like the singer, or like the candy?

[Cra$hman]

what do you think???

[Cra$hman]

4 days remaining
"I'm comin' for yas."

[lonejedi]

Lol We shall see, don't expect an easy victory Crashman

[Cra$hman]

what kinda place is this gonna be at, like a gamestore or cardstore or something?

oh, nm, its on the first post

something else that occured to me though
finishing the brackets in 2 and a half hours doesn't seem like a lot of time for a 1v1s tournament with only 4 setups (speaking from experience)
just a warning that if the turnout ends up being good you might want to consider dropping the stocks down to 4 or 3.

[teflon_climbers]

lol, EZ vic for crash. gg lonejedi
