I've got ideas for crews. Since if swift is becoming crew leader hes gonna put everyone from fridays together and just have branches of a main crew. Such as MCC, i've a pretty sweet idea.

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to
your fox is much better though...

If Mike Kim starts taking this seriously, we could definately add him, he's got a solid Shiek. And with Renths anouncement, it seems like we might be able to get Justin for SCS. And pocky doesn't play a spacie. That's 3...

One of you guys should just man up and main Pichu.

Anyhow, this event could turn out to be something special. I can't wait.

I love the idea of everyone that goes to duq to be one big crew that reps pittsburgh, but there all a whole bunch of little rival crews within it. Whats the official crew number 4 or 5?

i don't think there's an official number; i've seen crew battles with as few as 3 on one side

at GS2 though (where a large number of the crew battle vids are from) they ran either 4 or 5 per crew, splitting up 20 stock appropriately depending on how many people you had

and obviously unless there is a large dropoff in skill to your 5th player, you're better off with 5 people because you get an extra counterpick

It's debatable. The team that gets one less "Counter Pick" here also gets to reset %s one more time than the other crew. It's a close one.

I think they should set a standard so everyone has the same amount of people.

Some complications have arisen. I officially turn command of this tournament over to Gier. Gier, you'll have to talk to Elaine and everything to get this set up. You should know why I have to do this.

OK, this is the info I have right now.

THE BASICS:

Date: April 7-8
Get there at [time] on the 7th, have the tournament that afternoon/night/wee hours. Smash/movies all night, big projector screen, multiple sets, wireless cable internet. Singles and doubles the next day. Or we could do it reverse order. I'm trying to set it up so that people won't be tired for the crew battle but it doesn't cast a huge shadow on Singles. Doubles are a probability, but we may not have them due to possible time constraints (crew battles take a LONG TIME).

I was originally going to have sign-ups from when-i-get-there-o'clock to 12pm, but I'm going to be nice and have them later so you people who have to drive a long way don't have to get up at 3 am just to make the register time. I'll probably be there around 10am or so; plan to show up around then, or later (for now).



THE RULES:

Singles - MLG, stupid ignatius, advanced slob, dave's stupid rule. $10-15 entry.

Doubles = ditto, but more expensive.

Crews - 4 person minimum, $60 entry, 3 max alternates. Dave's Stupid Rule (per member, not per crew), Advanced Slob, Stupid Ignatius, 3 random crew battle stages (PS, FD, Kirby64). 20 stock per crew.


THE VENUE:

125 CenterGrange Rd. Monaca, PA 15061
"The Center Community Youth Center"

There are two floors. In the upstairs room, we can fit at least 10-12 TVs EASILY. We have a side computer room, but whenever we hold tournaments, all our friends who play WoW go in there. So that'll more than likely be taken.

The basement can hold a more tvs than I can think right now. The ceiling is low, however.

Depending on the weather, it's going to be warm. I had a tournament in summer, and it was horrible. As long as it isn't raining we can have fans cycling the air. That's the only real problem. There is some furniture, but I suggest you bring a sleeping bag/blankets. (If you can't we have a few.)

There will be VERY cheap food and housing. Housing is $5. So you don't have to worry about finding it. Also, there is a deli/restaurant about 50 yards from the venue. We can also have other food delivered such as pizza, wings, etc.


THE BAD:

Note: GGPD lost a few members and is down to a measly 3 people. And I suck. So it's like 2-1/2 members. We'll definitely still be in doubles, but unless we can find some more foos it looks like the crew battle is out for us.



OK, let's get a count. Everybody who is coming, either post or PM me with definite, probable, or unlikely. Also please note your crew and any members who don't have a SmashBoards account. I'll put the finished list. . . somewhere. I'll still have to get Axle to update the first post.

That's lame; we don't want to travel an hour just to have SCS vs. MCC

find more people!
