You guys really need to stop putting these on Fridays, but luckily we have this day off. MAYBE, I'll enter doubles if I'm there!! :O

Will be there if I can make it
What's this place like?
The TVs lag, you can't play friendlies, they **** the pot, there's little kids running around screaming things along the lines of "GRAB THE ****ING BATTLE AXE *******!" and I believe there are abortions in the back alley.

Hey man, it's your decision from there.

I'll go if I can get a ride, and if I can get a partner. Who wants to win doubles?

Do the TVs really lag?

I'll come and possibly bring a friend if the venue is OK.
Representing Western NY!

Also how is the pot going to be distributed? 60/30/10?

Finally, if I do go and my friend cannot make it, I'll be scouting for a teams partner who is playing to take 1st.

It's all fancy flat screen plasma TV nonsense. It's not lag like you'd find on WiFi but you will notice constant button delay.

Is there at least one CRT TV or something that has no lag? If not, would someone who lives close be able to bring a lagless TV?

I'm excited cause I've only been to one tournament on Long Island, but I don't see the point in coming if I'm going to lose to lag :(

No, it's all TV's like I explained in my last post and I don't believe we can bring our own TV's.

Very disappointing :(. I'm surprised people play competitive smash on TVs with video lag. Nevertheless, I'll still come if and only if my friend still wants to go as he's never been to a brawl tournament :p

Since my friend wants to come, we'll both be there assuming that someone posts how the pot will be divided.

The pot is divided 60-30-10 and they take like 30% of the pot. So its like a cheap venue fee, and I promise either me or if I ask will...one of us will bring a lagless tv to increase attendance.

Thank you very much for the info and for doing what you can to try to increase attendance.

By the way, is there any recording equipment by any chance?
I'd bring mine, but Xiivi is borrowing it :p

A few of us have the Inifinte Replay codes on our Wii's, I can bring mine to save the replays then have a friend record them afterward. Other then that I'm not sure if anyone has a recording device handy.
