Derrrrrp. I knew that. Still doesn't really explain the fact that you knew I lived in Gloucester though. Usually on registrations I put Newport News.Because I'm "MASTER OF THE INTERNET"
or you know, I run registration/the tournament.
Everyone knows the answer to that one.why no brawl? QQ
There could be some room, but the Smash room won't open until saturday.im make it friday nigth to the venue, any casuals anywhere on friday?
Much more reasonable than 2nd seed straight to losers. Obviously the ideal method is to have 2nd and 3rd seeds played each other and 1st seeds get a bye. Typically done with 16 pools giving you 48 people in a 64 man bracket. Have to see how many people actually attend.Well, to be honest... I'm leaning to 3 people make it out, and 3rd place is in losers. and the 1's and 2's play each other. But good to have options open.
Be thankful for Round Robin!
My only problem with 6-pools, top 3 make it out, seed is this:lol you too mahone? i was wondering if i was the only one reading it that way sometimes.
having 3rd place on losers side and not second place is janky lol. i like the 48 people in a 64 man bracket, but if top 2 make it out and you have the loser in losers bracket, you may as well go straight to bracket and have it seeded well.
edit: like tope i'm not going so my opinion doesn't matter either btw lol.
Is this tournament shaping up to be tight on time though? It's cool that we have a couple decent players coming in, but I haven't seen too many people outside the region post about coming and there were only like 30some people signed up when you last posted
Plus a lot of players (especially newer ones) value tournament matches for the experience, so if you can accommodate then I think you should
"It's pretty weak" is an opinion.My only problem with 6-pools, top 3 make it out, seed is this:
It's pretty weak.
why in the heck to we have to play 15 matches, taking 150 minutes on 2TV's, just to eliminate 3 players?
Has a 3 seed ever gone to win a tournament?
Sure, it's an opinion. Never said it was otherwise."It's pretty weak" is an opinion.
/just sayin
What do you mean, "calls into question?" It just means some people don't have to try in pools, while others do. "It should be serious 100% of the time" seems just flat out ignorant of the reality of tournaments. People are going to play Melee however they want, in or out of tournament. You seem to be trying to rule out the example I gave you without anything but your opinion, despite it actually addressing your question about whether a 3rd seed has ever won a tournament.If someone can sandbag in pools, then "play serious" and win, then the point of pools from a competitive standpoint seems to be called into question. "Non-serious/Sandbag" matches don't have much place in a tournament, it should be serious 100% of the time.
As far as the 30$ venue, it was 20$ 3 weeks ago, why didn't more people sign up then?
It will be 40$ at the door next week. This tournament was announced in January, and Smash added in early February. 2.5 days of event space is not cheap.
There will be games with much less attendance than Smash, but people are ok with that b/c they want to support their scene at majors.
Think of it this way, how much would you pay to hang out with people and play games all weekend w/ lots of setups without having to worry about the details?
I paid 60$ at Magfest because I registered late. Im paying 50$ at EVO (and that's the early bird).
Thanks, man.I'm pretty excited
if it helps =p

Yeah, you can add on tourneys at the door at no additional charge.Am I allowed to enter any of the other tournies at the door?
I feel smash is sucking at this. :/
How about philosophy? Define math. Mathematical logic and philosophy are intertwined.NO you can't. Math is banned at the tournament.
