Are wireless gamecube controllers allowed, if they're approved by TO staff?
Also, is "name tag" literally a name tag that we wear on our shirt or something?
Yes wireless controllers are allowed but must be inspected by TO staff. Your tag is just the name we put on the bracket not a physical sticker to wear.

Hey, I'm going to this event and I would love to Commentate if there are going to be livestreams. I'm experienced with Brawl and Melee, and know most of the terminology. I'm just looking to get my feet off the ground. I'll be there the whole time so yeah if you need anyone to commentate im in.

We had a stream going last time but iirc the setup didn't allow for commentary. I'm not sure if someone will be bringing streaming equipment this time but if someone does feel free to ask them if you could commentate.

When does each event happen? I'd love to enter PM and Melee, but I don't get out of work until 4:00, then it's a 3 hour drive to Chicago.
The schedule is in the first post of the thread. Melee is scheduled for 2pm, PM is scheduled for 6pm. I would recommend calling the venue (708-613-4609) and asking how the tournament is progressing to gauge whether or not you will make it in time to compete.

Anyone coming through Amherst, WI (Near Steven's Point) or close by and going to this tournament? I'd like to come but I do not have a ride. I would be willing to pay for some of gas money.

I RSVPed on the google doc. Barring something super unexpected coming up, I'll be coming. I never get to go normally because I work saturdays.

I will be bringing my recording equipment, and have a pretty good USB mic that would work well for commentary & room hype of course!
I don't have a ustream/twitch/etc. account of my own...but if anyone does, we can definitely set up a stream!

I talked to BTree today and we'd both like to commentate a few matches if possible. See you all tomorrow :D

If there are any pit, MK, IC, olimar, diddy kong, ness, lucas, or pretty much any of the characters that I play, I could help commentate brawl. I'm an ex-random main so I know a lot of neat things about the entire cast.
Of course I don't want to take away the chance to commentate from someone else though lol (Pretty much a back up lol)

Would someone link me to those crew battle matches whenever they are up?

And if you guys are interested, this is what I am suggesting for Pokemon XY for future events in these monthlies.. hopefully


For any possible future Pokemon X and Y tournament events, I'd recommend this:

Standard Singles Pokemon Battle, Each player has 6 Pokemon
Matches are only best of one, Finals matches can be best of 3 depending on how the host decides it.

No Coaching
No coaching, advising, or consulting between players is allowed during matches. Anyone found to be either giving or receiving advice will be disqualified and penalized in the standings. Collaboration on team building before the tournament is acceptable.

Clauses

The following clauses must be enabled for all matches.

Species Clause
A player cannot have two of the same Pokémon on their team. For example, a player cannot have two Koffing on his or her team.
Sleep Clause
A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokémon.
Evasion Clause
A player cannot increase their Pokémon's evasion stat with a move that specifically increases evasion. Items or indirect boosts do not break this clause.
OHKO Clause
Players cannot use moves that have a chance of instantly KO opposing Pokémon. For example, Horn Drill is an illegal move to have on a Pokémon's move set.
Self-KO clause: The player automatically loses if his last Pokémon uses Selfdestruct or Explosion. Destiny Bond and Perish Song also fail when used by the last Pokémon.

OU (This is good to some degree, but now that there's a new Generation it's outdated for the meantime)

Banned Pokemon - A team cannot have any of the Pokemon found in the following tiers: Ubers. (http://www.smogon.com/bw/tiers/uber)
Banned Abilities - A team cannot have a Pokemon with any of the following abilities: Sand Veil and Snow Cloak.
Banned Items - A team cannot have the Pokemon Latias or Latios with the hold item Soul Dew on their team.
Drizzle + Swift Swim - Using both a Pokemon with Drizzle and a Pokemon with Swift Swim on the same team is banned.
Since that Ubers list doesn't have any 6th Gen Pokemon yet, Xerneas and Yveltal will definitely be joining that list of Uber Pokemon.
