Can someone explain to me how pools work? Like how many people in each, and how many make it to the next round? I'm hearing different things so if somebody can reidorate that would be great. Thanks!

Although I was under the impression that it was only top 2 that made it out of pools for this.

Also, I may be late on this, but i was just looking at the Reg list. and Yoooooo... The return of Lee Martin? teaming with M2k? Yo ULLLLLLll

When's the last day to reserve a hotel room? I might not know if I can make this until later in the week. lol

The discount code for hotel rooms at the venue has expired I believe. However, there's a Holiday Inn like half a mile away from the venue and it's like $25 cheaper per night than the original discounted price of the venue hotel. That's where I'm staying with my group.

Cross post from the transportation thread;
Any chance someone could snag me and Dakpo up from Philadelphia International Airport on Thursday? We get in at 7pm. We could just take public transit to the hotel, but considering that would be a grueling 4 hours, figured I'd ask and see if it was convenient for anyone!

*crawls out from under his rock*

Sadly, this is the first Apex I'm missing. It hurts because I've been to every single Apex so far. I'm transitioning into a new job this week and have moving to do this weekend, so I have pretty legitimate johns for not being able to come.

Still hurts though :(

Wish this event nothing but the best!

For anyone living in NY/NJ: How's the weather so far? Would a sweater do fine or would gloves/jacket be better for warmth?

Bring a sweater and jacket. The weather changes so much from day to day that you'll switch between them.

Just to once again note, the melee ruleset:

https://www.apex-series.com/rules/melee/

still contains no mention of master hand or freeze glitch being banned. In fact it also doesn't say anything about stalling except under the Wobbling clause:

"Wobbling is legal. Wobbling past 250% will be considered stalling and is not allowed."

Where here it is ambiguous whether stalling in general is banned or whether merely stalling by means of excess wobbling is banned.

Cross-posting from the transportation thread:

I'm arriving around 7:55pm today at EWR at Terminal C and am in need of a ride to the hotel.

Unfortunately, I missed the registration, but I've a group of 5 that are wanting to travel from Indiana to play smash64. Is it too late?
