other info

Do not bring set-ups.

Even though it is obvious, I will state it anyway. The tournament will take place inside the R.U.Game? video game store inside Brandon Westfield Mall.

Most R.U.Game? tournaments use a single elim format until top 8, which then uses a double elim format.

Please note: I have no bearing on the rules or format of this tournament. Nor do I have any affiliation with R.U.Game?store

[Nemy]

Thanks for posting this, ill be there.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

5 stock and single elimination? No time limit? Laggy HD TVs? These guys have been hosting brawl tournaments for years now and they're still using these awful rulesets lmao

 

[Zach777]

But the tourneys are fun. Bumped for hype.

 

[Ookami Hajime]

I'm not all that interested in this ruleset... Brawl matches are matches I'd really rather not have extended even longer than usual with five stocks.

@ Nemy : I hope to see you at Pentakill, my friend.
@ Эикельманн [РУС] : Hey man, I'd like to see you there again as well! http://smashboards.com/threads/pentakill-5-17-brawl-p-m-tourney-poinciana-fl.353326/#post-16677188

Check it out, guys.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

Nothing fun about single elim, 5 stock on laggy TVs. Sorry.

 

[GDX]

Shoutouts to people posting about rulesets that aren't even going to attend

Anyway guys, get hyped. I'll be running this event. Also, when it gets to top 8, it turns into double elim bracket, but with 128 people starting out, single elim is the only viable option

If you have any questions about the tourney itself, please don't hesistate to contact me and I'll answer all I can

 

[Zach777]

@ Ookami Hajime
This tourney does not have best 2 of 3 matches, Ookami. Just one of one all the way through.

you know, i totally could attend because like you, this event is only an hour and some odd minutes from me. but how is any of that stuff supposed to be appealing? can you really blame me? brawl isn't my primary game, but it's a game that i'd like to practice and get good matches in. this isn't the environment for that, it seems. there's nothing encouraging about single elim, best of one, 5 stock on hd tvs.

though it's definitely comforting to know you're running the whole thing. how will seeding be done?

 

[Zach777]

You will learn the art of playing on laggy tvs. And yes, it is an artform.

 

[Ookami Hajime]

You guys have fun with this!
Sorry Zach, I'm just a bit more interested the standard ruleset. It sounds fun, though.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

You will learn the art of playing on laggy tvs. And yes, it is an artform.

shouldn't have to learn. it's not even fun.

also, there was over $1500 taken from the pot to go to the store last time. i know it's a business and all, but damn.

@ GDX considering that you're probably going to win or place highly, that should at least slightly bother you. like just a little bit, even.

 

[Myran]

I could use some money. I might attend this, but 3rd place isn't something I'd want to get again. xD

I dont think these boards have multiquotes anymore. If they do, I have no idea how to do them

I seed players in a way to spread out the good players so, if they were to keep winning, they would get within the final 8 for the double elim bracket. No reason for the handful of good players that are there to get eliminated in a single elim match

I also don't feel the lag on the TVs. But then again, I've always played brawl on component cables and LCD TVs, so maybe I'm used to it? Still doesn't seem very noticable at all on the TVs in the venue, at least (I've seem some really laggy ones before, even for me)

Speaking of which, single elim 1 match 5 stock isn't very ideal I admit, but its definitely the best option, considering the setup of this particular tournament:
- 4 - 5 setups
- Primarily new players, so not having to teach everyone/everyone waste time on counterpicks or stage bans or sets going 2-1
- People who when they lose can't sit there all day waiting for their losers match even due to the sheer size of the tourney (which usually caps at 128)
- A videogame store in a mall doesn't necessarily want 128 people in their store all day, so single elim filters people out quicker as well, which is better for the store business, as normal shoppers generally aren't going to shop in the store while its jam packed of people so that they cant even walk the aisles, thus the store has lost potential business

That last point in particular is why I really don't care what the store pulls in for profit. Since they don't have an entire extra area for a tourney, hundred people pretty much fill their aisles, and most normal people are not going to go purchase anything during that period of time, which is a Saturday, which is a busy time for mall stores and a time where they should be pulling in most of their money. They are a business and if the make money hosting a tournament that most of the people continually enjoy, who are we to knock their hustle or think less of them? Don't get me wrong, I wish I got apiece of that but I dont. I just run them because I'm friends with the owner/staff,and I like yelling at people

Edit: And to reiterate, Once it gets to the top 8, I make it a regular BO3 double elim set tournament from that point on

Edit 2: And no, I don't really blame you for not wanting to attend this particular tournament. Its fun, but its not the normal tournament.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

that was a truly exceptional post, keith. i really appreciate the effort in responding like that.

i think i'll definitely be going now. after all, to be honest, it's very rare that tournaments happen in central florida at all. it'll be better than nothing, and i have things i can do in brandon after the event, anyway.

see you there.

 

[Ookami Hajime]

It was a very legitimate explanation =o
Good luck guys! I unfortunately still wouldn't be able to make it because of rides and distance.

@ Эикельманн [РУС] : I didn't really get to play you at last Pentakill. I played you and Drew in brawl doubles, but that's it. Are you going to make it to this one? If so, I'd love to have to play you in singles for any of the three games (although Melee won't be at this one, unfortunately). Not sure if I've already asked you this.

 

[//JaZz\\]

The ruleset here is understanding from what you've wrote Keith but it is a funny one to me. I've never been to one of these but I think that I can come

 

[Zach777]

[Quote=you]The bb code here is how you make a quote, Keith[/Quote]

I summon, @Codyyy, @Din8595, @Pheta Ray, @ -DR3W- , @-Sensei-, @Gilgamesh, and @ P.I.E.

Just wanted you all to know about this.

 

[ZLF Aurora]

Yeah, I'm not throwing any more money into a blender on this crap. At least it looks like they -might- be learning as they dropped PS2 from the stage list.

 

[Ookami Hajime]

Gilgamesh doesn't have a smashboards account so you just called over some random guy from Chile.

 

[Zach777]

Oops, I knew I shouldn't have tagged him. Sorry, Chile Gilgamesh.

 

[P.I.E.]

I'll try to make this :D

 

[Zach777]

All right guys, I linked the videos from previous R.U.Game? tourneys so you can see evidence of entrance numbers.
The videos are in the post underneath the main thread.(OP, I think)

 

[kirbydabest]

may or may not attend that ruleset though lol depends on how pie feels about going honestly if keith is running it then I know things will be done smoothly at least

 

[Zach777]

Bumped only because of sheer hype. :-)

And to ask GDX if I can help with TO'ing. May I, GDX?

 

[GDX]

If I need it sure

 

[ZLF Aurora]

Same date and time as the Best Buy Smashfest. Double nope.

 

[Zach777]

Alright, I beleive I have made the final update to this thread.

-Added the map of Brandon Westfield Mall.

Help me keep this thread bumped until the tournament please, guys. Thank you.

 

[GDX]
