At Apex 2013, these were the entrant numbers for all 3 smash games:
Brawl: 338
Melee: 336
64: 95
With such huge numbers for Brawl and Melee and because of time constraints, bracket pools make sense for those games (I say this without any TO experience though, so if you feel differently let me know). 64 didn't have pools, but instead had a 96-man bracket from the get go.
For Apex 2014, Alex Strife was talking about the possibility of pools for 64. Currently, there is a 128-man cap on 64. So, if all 128 spots are filled, it would be the largest 64 tourney ever in North America, but 128 is just a "decently-sized" number of entrants for Melee and Brawl. With 128 entrants, I feel like 64 wouldn't have the same time constraints as the other two games.
Therefore, as a 64 player wanting to play lots of competitive games, I would love to do Round Robin pools. As Brawl and Melee players, would you feel it is unfair if 64 got Round Robin pools while the Melee and Brawl tourneys got bracket pools?
