Event - Smash Wars 2008 Disputes and Questions

[Scav]

Need a ref? Got a question?

Post it here, or PM a ref.

Also, refs are available all day on AIM at the Smash Wars chatroom and Smash Wars Brackets chatroom.

Refs are anyone with a green name. Scav, Xsyven, M3D and Omnigamer are the most active.

I noticed in the MW Bracket I'm paired up with "BYE" for the first round. Is this a player or a bye that I'm looking at? I am confused.

 

[Kyari]

Can I start my matches early? -_- guhhfff.

 

[OmegaXF]

For this you can just look through the midwest section to make sure. Since there are no players actually named BYE then yea, I'd say you are looking at a bye. Congrats.

 

[AgentJGV]

ok so i have to be sumwhere from 2 till like 5. can i start the matchs early so i wont be disquiallifyed?

 

[Prez]

Once all the first round matches are completed by 3:00, the second round matches will be posted and have to be completed by 3:45. It goes on like this. I'd say you're out of luck.

 

[AgentJGV]

crap....o well. ill find the next tournament.

 

[AgentJGV]

now where do i drop out of the tournament

 

[BlueYoshiPinkShoes]

First of all, there's no Michigan in the pools.
Second, why am I not there?

 

[Biolizard28]

Can first round matches be completed before 2:00, or will they only count prior to 2:00?

That is correct.

 

[Sudai]

I know first round is supposed to be over and reported by 3, but if the other person isn't responding at all, how long do they have to respond? There's no way people could finish a match in time if the other person responded at, say, 2:59, or something silly like that. I was also asking so people don't get DQ'd even if they tried everything possible to get in contact with the person but don't post that until shortly after 3 thinking the person has until the last second.

If he wasn't DQ'd in pools then he won't be DQ'd now.

 

[imtired]

thats not fair, im going to lose now =;

 

[Dustero]

If the person I'm supposed to play in round 1 doesn't show up, is it an automatic win for me?

you guys have until 3 to finish, if hedoesn't show, yes you win.

 

[imtired]

you have to prove you attempted to contact them, i had to do it yesterday

 

[Firebert]

you have to prove you attempted to contact them, i had to do it yesterday

How did you prove it?

 

[Dustero]

I have PMed him and emailed him. There's nothing else I can do. Hopefully he shows up.

Also what if he gets on around 2:55 and we can't finish our match before 3:00?

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

I have a problem. I will most likely not have acess to the computer today but I can still play. Is it possible for a ref to specatate all of my matches so that I won't have to be on a computer to still Brawl? If not, I may have to forefit. Please answer ASAP.

I think you have to becuase you have to check back to see who you are playing next. I hope there is a way for you to stay in the tournament.

 

[Kio Iranez]

If a friend's Wii is not working, can he use my Wii and my FC to do his matches?

 

[Maruku]

the brackets are set to start at 2 pm...
is this eastern time? if so what time should it be on the west (california to be specific)? im not good with time diference

hope anyone can answer me soon

 

[Kio Iranez]

1 hour and 27 minutes from this post is 2PM EST. =)

 

[rusashi]

I pm'd my opponent this morning, still no response

if he doesn't respond by 2:00 he forfits? Or does he have until 3?

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Unfotunately I have to forefit this competition due to this day of the week being a bad one for me. Sorry.
Bye.

The same thing is happening to me right now. I'm trying to get Gojira.

Anyways, he has until 3 eastern, which is 2 hours and 8 minutes from now.

 

[JackHouser]

yeah same question, what if i cant reach my opponent until the last 5 seconds, or per say last 5 minutes of until due time? and if i have been trying to contact him...is it his fault for not showing up until theres not enough time to do the matches?

and if my opponent doesnt show at all its a dq for him right, as long as I have been trying to contact him?

 

[Maruku]

if i set the forum time zone to eatern i should just follow the hour that shows here right?
that should be the correct one right?

 

[Brox]

If our opponent does not show up where do we post material that we showed an effort to contact them?

 

[Violent-nin]

Seems a lot of no shows are happening right now.

I'm having the same problem against my opponent.

 

[Wolf_FTW]

what happends if my opponent doesn't show up for the first round of the turny i have not gotten any responds from him...do we both get DQed?

 

[Rock Man X]

I'm pretty sure you just make your claim that you attempted to contact him in whichever pool you are. If the refs need proof I'm sure they'll ask for it. My opponent is offline as well. Maybe lots of people didn't expect the 2nd half of the tournament to be today...

 

[Wolf_FTW]

yeah because that would be kind of dumb if i get DQed because my opponent never showed up

 

[-Wolfy-]

If you prove that you have made all possible steps to contact your no-show opponent, and they do not show up, then they will lose, and you will advance. I'm relatively sure if they show up 5 minutes before submission, as lnog as its not interfering with the progression of the tournament, you can finish a few minutes late, but under no circumstance should you deny someone a match if you think ten till three won't give you enough time to play. Just use soem common sense. if they aren't there of their own accord, then you don't lose.

Thanks for clarifying, scav, on the above issue.

If a friend's Wii is not working, can he use my Wii and my FC to do his matches?

As long as you've notified all involved parties, and they are aware of the new FC, then it is legit.

 

[Sudai]

Thanks for the clarification WG. Love how half the post in this thread are all asking the same thing.

you can have your opponent submit results, or provide some type of evidence, i take it that you mean you will not be able to submit results? PM if possible
