Don't Blink 2012: July Edition

[Oro?!]

I'm gold. Gold means you suck.

 

[Arty]

I added Melee to the title.

Should we just run bracket for Melee? Should it be $5?

What do you think Barnick/Mike?

Also bring setups guys plz. We have to be out by 11, so 7-8 setups would be great.

 

[Zwarm]

Straight bracket unless we only have a few entrants, then round robin. And yeah $5

 

[Scythe]

Honestly all tourneys should be straight bracket.

 

[Tink]

i wanna try the FGC style pool brackets 0_0....seems legit, but idk.

 

[Scythe]

try it out at a sg, we dont really have time at this tourney.

 

[Tink]

loll...im just saying in general sonn...we gotta try it sometime....idc if the brawl ppl even try it, i just want to know how it goes.

 

[Juggleguy]

I heard the bracket pools were very unpopular with the Brawl tourney that used it... I just don't see the point of switching to that format, it doesn't save much time and it just cuts down on the total number of matches for the lower-level players.

 

[AllyKnight]

it was actually very hyped. tho people who doesnt make out of pools playl ess matches

 

[Juggleguy]

That's why the format sucks. Brackets are by nature very inefficient due to the queueing of matches each round. There's no reason to cut down on everyone's playing time only to end up finishing at the same time as you would in a more efficient format.

 

[Arty]

Yah we're not gonna do the bracket pools. Just regular pools for Brawl, and straight bracket for Melee and the side events.

I'm not really expecting a huge turnout, but bring setups guys!

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Can't come anymore, grandpa is in the hospital and not likely to live at this point, gonna be going there a lot and helping my mom out a lot.

Sorry.

 

[Zwarm]

Probably the best johns ever.

Sorry to hear that, Justin.

 

[Scythe]

So I'm going to signups for 3S relatively early in the day and I'm assuming the same will happen for melee singles so dont be late guys!
Entry for 3S will be $2 and I'm guessing melee will be $5

 

[ORLY]

it's gonna be weird only bringing $9 for entry fees lol

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Probably the best johns ever.

Sorry to hear that, Justin.

He passed away this morning.

Thanks for the thoughts.

 

[Kels88]

He passed away this morning.

Thanks for the thoughts.

sorry to hear that.

 

[_Kain_]

Sorry to hear that Red Ryu, hope you and your family are well

What time does the metra stop running?

 

[Scythe]

the times should be on their website

 

[ORLY]

sorry for your loss, RRyu

@kain: the last train should be after we're forced outta the venue at 11 but i could be wrong

 

[Zwarm]

Sorry for your loss, Justin.

each line is different, but the one by me runs until like 1

 

[The Good Doctor]

So are Kelly and Tink coming to this?

 

[Scythe]

you better be here for 3s!

Edit: Someone needs to bring a project M setup btw.

 

[Arty]

1-2 P:M setups should be fine since we're only doing a bracket, but yah bring setups guys!

 

[Zwarm]

I can turn my setup into any of the games we need

 

[The Good Doctor]

you better be here for 3s!

Edit: Someone needs to bring a project M setup btw.

So I can tap that ***....
THE CURSE IS FINALLY BROKEN!

 

[Rat]

I'll bring my wii + PM (No tv cause mine sucks) and the recording set-up.

But the recording thing last time totally turned down the brightness of the screen. We'll see how that works.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I'll be there for PM & Melee. Recording setup for melee.


I don't know if this has been covered yet, but the cafeteria really needs power strips to maximize space. I'll be bringing one



edit- also, when is melee starting? It isnt covered on the schedule

 

[Scythe]

i think we are starting all side tourneys earlier than normal. So maybe expect signups during brawl dubs.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

P:M as well?

 

[Arty]

That's a little too early. P:M/3S should start around 2 or 3. We'll finish in time since we're only running brackets. Melee singles will start around 3 - 3:30 as well, and that's also only bracket.

 

[_Kain_]

Would someone be able to pick me up from the train stop? And possibly drop me off there after the tourny

Also could someone hook me up with a control

 

[Tink]

yoooo, 2 or 3 for PM 0_o?....cause thats gonna determine when i leave.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I hope i wake up in time for this ****

 

[DLA]

I gotchu enrique.

 

[Scythe]

yo tom and kain, can you both bring ps3 pads? thanks

 

[ORLY]

I may have to end up going to this wedding after all.

Probably see you all next weekend.

 

[Arty]

No worries dude. Don't be ditching a family wedding for a smash tourney lol.

Tink, we're probably gonna start P:M bracket at like 2:30. I'll add you in, if you're late though.

 

[Scythe]

what a nice guy

reminder for setups!!!!!

 

[Sago]

i have a wii but not really any suitable tv's
