Yeah, anyone willing to house for tonight?

If enough people show up I'll just make this the circuit event. I'm just worried about the numbers... SO EVERYBODY COME!

Yes, please bring setups.

We'll plan on $15 entry fees plus $5 venue fee. That way it's the same as what everyone has been planning for.

EDIT: Minor update in first post. Please note that the tournament will begin at 11am EST (that's 10am for all you central peeps).

I thought it was starting at noon?

And are we just transferring the old ruleset over to this one?

Yeah, $15/person for doubles. Noon was a typo, it starts at 11am. And yes, you're all required to go to this.

Also, directions added to first post.

Rules will be different. Post will be edited soon.

Sorry, I just saw your post in the other thread, requesting it to start later. We need to be out by midnight, so our hands are tied in starting it by 11am. Worst case scenario, we'll give you and your doubles partner a discount and you can enter the doubles bracket with a bottom-seed (unless there are still unplayed pools when you arrive, which is possible). You'll definitely be included in singles.

Well my doubles partner probably isn't going anymore because of the move, so unless I team with someone at the venue then it doesn't really bother me. As long as I make it for singles everything's cool.

What time exactly do singles start?

That's what I'm planning on doing. I want to have enough time to do friendlies and MM's before the singles start.

Holy crap, I just noticed in the title that it's Melee now instead of Brawl? Even better!

Hmm... should we call it BRAWL-FC? Would everyone feel more comfortable with that?

Also, rules posted. Note that we're doing a stage strike system. w00t.

Finally, it's one day notice because it's a replacement tourney for another one that flopped :p

If you guys were to change it to BRAWL, you'd have to come up with a new acronym to go for it, since MELEE stood for Misunderstood Enthusiasts Living Extraordinary Existence.

EDIT: Oh and Tim, not to confuse our out-of-towners, there is no light for Edison on Capital, it would most likely be Day Rd. that you'd want people to take a right on.

Man, I really wish I could go to this especially with the wonderful stage list. One of the best I've seen, especially with the stage striking system. Dammit.

I don't think I'm going to make it out to this, considering I have been procrastinating on preparing to go back to Cincinnati because I thought I wouldn't have to drive 10 hours round trip to go to a tournament, and now none of my **** is packed or ready.

I may consider it, but don't get your hopes up. I really want to go, but I also want to go back to school prepared. I don't need to start the quarter off behind. I'll get there soon enough. -_-

TL;DR
