Notes:
* Our Second SSBB tournament; however, we're used to running various fighting-game tournaments. This tournament we will be trying to incorporate a melee tournament as well since there is a lot of demand for this
* There will be approximately 8 setups (mixed wii's/Cubes). Recording setups may or not be present (if you have any experience with recording please contact us)
* To emphasize we want more than JUST 4 setups for each tournament. Bring a set up if you can!
* As per SBR rules, players are responsible for their own controllers.

3. each match will be to best of 3 rounds and each set will be best of 3 matches. Winners finals, Losers Finals and Grand Finals will all be best of 3 rounds per match and best of 5 matches per set
4. If a player pauses during a round, he will lose that round (not the match)
5. If a player pauses during the same set twice, they will forfeit the match.

2. Each individual player is knocked out once he/she loses 1 match, and the next teammate will step in until one team defeats the other team's 3 players
3. Ordering of teams will be written for the first players of each team at the beginning of the matchup, when the first match is over, the team that lost the first match can send either of their remaining 2 players.
4. Once a character has been picked for that set it cannot be changed. (important for counter picking reasons)
5. All other rules are analogous to the Single player tournament

I may attend depending on what time in January... With the date so far ahead, I gotta make sure I keep my schedule clean this time!

BRAWL DOUBLES N SINGLES!!!

Edit: If possible, could we get a live stream or even a video capture device at this tournament? It would have been great to save some of the matches from the last tournament for future viewing.

yea, i'm hoping for there to be at least 20 people from the smash community because if we don't get that i'm going to need to come up with a good reason why we should be holding tournaments for smash when i talk to the financial officer of the club.

...If the amount of people attending is enough of an issue that you actually have to bring it up with the financial officer, why would you host it during a time when it's really obvious a lot of people wouldn't be able to attend? <_<;;;

according to the stats, Smash isn't pulling its own weight so their tournaments are subject to when the SF people want to have their tournament, apparently 2 of the top players in BC will be gone early january so they asked to move it earlier,

wtf, i didn't even know about this tournament until just now. put me in anyways.

it also seems kind of abrupt due to the tournament being just about a month ago.
is it a good idea to host tournaments so near each other? and i looked through the thread, a lot of people are bailing because of the date. it's gg from here on out.
