I honestly think doubles should just be on that wednesday again. But that would probably only benefit me LOL

 

[ITALIAN N1NJA]

Could someone please explain to me how pools work? I'm assuming its just separate groups of players playing 1v1 matches and players swapping in and out of games.

Pretty much. Those who don't make it out of pools don't make it into bracket.

Think of pools as a 'mini bracket' that determines if you'll be in the actual bracket.

 

[ITALIAN N1NJA]

Is it just set up like this? Two people randomly from a pool play each other. The loser then swaps with another player in the pool. Basically I'm just asking is it simple like winner stays? Or is it determined by wins? Or what??

Here's a scenario: There are 6 pools, each with about 6 people in them. There will be an area designated for your pool number with around 1-2 set ups. A person of the 6 would be in charge of keeping track of records for wins and loses during the pool matches (Usually on a sheet of paper). Everyone plays each other in their pool once. The top two players with the best results advance forward.

So basically. It doesn't matter who plays first, if the winner stays to play another match, etc. Everyone plays each other once (from their pools). It's determined by wins.

 

[SwagTrain]

Adding onto Knubs - sometimes players play their matches randomly, other times players (like me) like to burn through all of them at once so I can go socialize and relax if I make it into bracket. Sometimes winner stays, sometimes loser stays. There's no set format.

Afterwards, we all go and buck fitches.

I'm down to clown. Swiggity Swag. Jokes aside, thanks everyone for the helpful information.

Wait is this bracket pools?

 

[Captain Faceroll]

Wait is this bracket pools?

From when I talked to Bobby he said bracket pools top 4 advance.

 

[Shrug]

I have a capture card and a laptop with the appropriate software. If I bring my own setup, is there any problem with me recording matches?

Atm it is bracket pools.

Assume 64 entrants for PM.
That's 8 pools of 8. If we did Round Robin that would be 28 sets per pool... If Double Elim that's 13 sets per pool which is much faster.
Round Robin could be done if we did 16 pools of 4 with top 2 making it to bracket but I assume people would prefer larger pools.

Bobby 4 pres.

I don't think so, you might wanna clear it with Bobby first, but there are generally a couple of setups that are recording.

 

[snex]

anybody need a PM/melee teammate?

 

[Avolition]

Are the set times on here or the RSVP?

 

[DireDrop]

I doubt I'll make it in time for any events, but I'm coming anyway because friendlies are always fun.

 

["Shion"]

Lookin for PM dubs partner

Do you know if its okay to leave it in a room without my attention?

 

[Captain Faceroll]

I would be very surprised if anything happened to your recording setup whilst you weren't looking. I know other people have recording setups on a particular TV and they can't always look after it, and I haven't heard any them having any issues. Obviously you should do so at your own risk, and EXP etc. isn't accountable for what happens, but I think you should be okay.

You can ask people who do bring their recording setups though, they might be able to give you more specific information. DLA for example I'm pretty sure brings a recording setup every now and again.

I know there have been a few stories of things getting stolen in the Smash community, but in my 6 years going to tournaments, I've never once had anything stolen from me. And lord knows the potential thieves had opportunities.

 

[viperboy_74]

I went ahead and registered, but i'm not 100% sure if I'm coming. I'll be sure to let you know by the end of the RSVP timer

 

[peanutknight99]

RSVPing is only necessary if you're entering pools, right? And friendlies are allowed the entire time?

 

[EXPGaming]

Yes but if you are just doing doubles it's still helpful to rsvp. Yes friendlies are allowed from open to close.

 

[Zwarm]

Friendlies are allowed as long as you aren't using a setup needed for tournament, which at some times, means no friendlies

But more often than not, friendlies are allowed

 

[B.W.]

I didn't mention this but if I manage to go on Doubles day and JBrock is there and wants to team with me again I'll enter.

 

[Mr_Sweet]

Lol I'll be your partner, double DK all day.

 

[B.W.]

So I have to miss WDW this week, but I lucked out and somehow was given Saturday off. So I WILL see you guys at Exposure.

 

[HarryTheChin]

Awesome!!! Also, I may enter Melee Doubles if I can find a partner in time

We should add the EXPosure Logo for the PM stream set up and/or all other PM set ups so we can look even more legit! EXP hype!

If someone would be willing to add the background portrait to the SJS CSS I currently have I'd be down to use my SD for a setup. That's a great idea Harry. Simple yet effective.

i think everybody should download the one kaysick made because it also has the stagelist

Do you happen to know where I could find the download for that? Is it on Brawlvault or Mediafire?

 

["Shion"]

This guy^

....

 

[Rizner]

I'll probably be here with a car from Cincinnati

 

[5-oNe]

its on the chicago melee page on fb somewhere.you can also ask kaysick for it.

 

[5-oNe]

i found it... http://www.mediafire.com/download/gj726pjbdruubfe/common5.pac
if you plan on having your setup used,this should be on there.it will speed things up for singles and doubles.also having NO textures on the characters or stages would be great as well.some people dont like it

 

[5-oNe]

You install this by going to: projectm/pf/system and overwriting the common5.pac

 

[EXPGaming]

I'll probably be here with a car from Cincinnati

Today is the last day to RSVP so if you have not already done so please RSVP using this Google doc.
If you are bringing others in your car who plan on competing they will have to RSVP as well.
