A slightly edited cross post, since I only just discovered this topic which is much more active than the one in Atlantic North.
Hah. I'm in an interesting position with the whole parental consent forms since I'm 18, but have no ID proving it. I really need to get a regular state ID since I'm sure as heck not bringing a birth certificate... Guess I'll bring a parental consent form just in case, heh.
Now a few questions, since I've never been to an event that had tournies other than smash brothers:
1. Are all these events going to take place in the same room/area? Just wondering if it's possible people are gonna be playing Gears of War next to a smash brothers game. I doubt I'd mind, it'd just be different.
2. There will be time for friendlies during the tournament, right? Of course with the exception we'll get kicked off if a tournament match must be completed. From the posts here, it seems like all the smash setups will be open the entire day, but from your website I get the impression that the focus of the venue changes after each session. (On the site it's got smash in session 2 from 11:45 AM to 1:00 PM. At least that's how I interpret it). Some clarification on that would be cool. That's all stuff I really need to know since this is new ground, and it's a long trip. If I'll be in a car longer than I'm playing smash, (4ish hours total) I can't make it.
Actually, one last thing to be safe:
3. What time do you think you'll clear out the venue? 9PM? Later? Earlier?
Sorry for all the questions, but I gotta justify the trip out here by being confident I'll be able to play lots of smash.
Thanks in advance.
I wonder how many non-smashboards people will get in on the melee tourney.
