I can bring a setup for brawl + my PS2 and Guilty Gear, if you can waive my door fee.
I've got $20 to my name, so I'd really appreciate it...

where's the cp stage list?
i'll show up for melee friendlies
Oh, if I bring a wii + everything unlocked + a ggear set up, does that give me any benefits?
ie free store entry <_<
Also, what the hell, gambling? it's a tournament. I might agree that it's gambling since you guys are playing barlw, but seriously. If this is considered gambling, then any competition in general is considered gambling.
"Rock Paper Scissors for a dollar? I need a parental consent form before I can agree to you on that."
:/ that's just a little ridiculous. Parental consent should not be mandatory for any video game that isn't m-rated.

There is no counterpick list. Stages are neutrals only (minus Stadium 1 for some reason).
And no, bringing all your stuff does NOT get you free entry apparently.
~^.NoiR.^~
Smash Ace
Yes please! The more set ups we can get the more matches we can get in at a time, which means the tournament will go by faster.
Legally, it is gambling. Think of a worst case scenario that could happen to the owner of the store and he loses his business and gets penalties for promoting under age gambling, just so he can run a competitive brawl tournament for kids, who are not profiting him at all. Big price to pay for zero profit.
Anyways, no one has to bring a wii or a cube or a tv. You can't get a free entry because then if everyone gets free entry for bringing a set up, the owner wouldn't make any money. Thus resulting in not wanting to host a tournament anymore. We need at least 5 T.Vs for the tournament. We have 3 for friendlies already in the store. They are a bit laggy and that is why they are for friendlies. So we are starting out with ZERO t.vs and ZERO set ups. I'm going to bring a set up, my friend michael, Will, maybe tommy, maybe Mike, and I'll ask evan because I know he has at least one small one. If you want to play melee, then bring a T.v. if you have a small one that isnt a hassle to carry. My Wii doesn't have random stages and I don't think it has all of the stages, so if anyone can transfer their data to mine, that would be cool.
XIF
Smash Master
evan is out of town
you cannot transfer game data between wii's. Its dumb.
I'll bring my wii, but I doubt i'll enter.

Quick question; prizes are cash, right? Not store credit? My Birmingham quest was a bust, but I might be able to go to this. Anyone know?
~^.NoiR.^~
Smash Ace
It's cash prize, but not many people are going, so I don't know how much cash there will be.

I hate to use skill and barlw together, but

Dominant Factor Test Applied: "Chance" is one of the elements generally required to be present in order for a game to violate a state anti-gambling statute. Most states have concluded that where the elements of skill, whatever they may be, predominate over the elements of chance, whatever they may be, in determining outcome, then the "chance" element is lacking and the game involved does not violate that state's anti-gambling law. This question considers whether the state applies this "dominant factor," or predominance, test.

it's not gambling. i'm soooo tempted to argue chance, but really. When skill overrides chance by a good margin, it's not considered gambling by the state.

GA permits the dominant factor.
lol, tourneys are illegal in FL <_<

Thanks for researching and thanks for coming :]
THANKS to everyone else who did. The turn out was MUCH MUCH better than I expected and it was MUCH more fun than I expected.
Luinous? I forgot your name >.< PROPS to you man. You beasted with luigi(and me with snake) and definitely showed your one of the best in GA. Keep coming to tournies man. We need to play on a weekly basis if your not too far from me. Appreciate you coming out.
Thanks to the people at play n trade that gave us a place to play and ran it EXCELLENTLY imo. Never been to a tournament that was on top of their **** as this one.
For the next time, if there is one I think the owner wants it to be 10 dollar door fee. An extra 5 bucks so that they profit from it or AT LEAST break even. Worth it IMO. problem.
Neutral stages for competitive play? COMPLETELY fair and for the most part the people loved it. I loved it, XIF loved it and my friends loved it. It allows the most skilled(I know theres not much of it) player to win. So we are going to keep it that way and hopefully other states in the south will do the same.
uhh what else. Melee? I know GA loves melee and I love it too, even though I suck at it. I would love to host melee tournies here and as long as theres profit or even break on the owners end, I'm sure they wouldn't mind it. The thing with melee is...I don't think its very popular. Not very big show ups at the recent tournies. I was thinking, if we can get pre/ non refundable entry fees to play n trade, then it would be more of a promise on both sides. That is completely up to the melee people though. The only way it would be refundable is if there isnt a certain amount of people signed up? Melee people would have to help me with that. If you can promise a 30+ turn out with 10 dollar entree, then it shouldnt be much of a problem.
Can't really think of anything else to say. Thanks a lot for coming :]

Desu am lazy, shoutout for dentedglass:
You know what you're doing. You've got a nice Luigi, and your Snake knows some tricksies too.
Though I can't help but ask...
Sheik? Really?
-edit-
To Chris: I warned you about the rules man.
You've got to post them in advance, in as much detail as possible, so you can call them as reference if this kind of thing happens again. You won't always have people around to clarify for you, so do your research and post your rules in full. <3
Oh, and as for Lylat being neutral over Stadium 1, fuck that shit. >:|
Bitching aside, the tournament went really smoothly. Decent turnout, nice venue, good staff.
Looking forward to the next one. ;P

For future reference, it's not really a lock. You can get out of it by DIing toward Sheik, and then jumping. It'll footstool her and stop the tilts so you can escape.
I don't mean to be condescending or anything, I just don't want you dropping any more games on bad info. ;P
