How do you sign up? Also, what time is it from?
If you want to join. Go to the original post on the first page of this thread, there are links to the brackets, sign ups and times for the tournaments. Be sure to read the post though as there are two different tournaments. ;)

Can I just post both my twitch and challonge names here so that you know which is me?

I'd rather not have to make another account for either.

OP has been updated with the upcoming Salty Showdowns.

Sunday's Tournament has been moved to Saturday just for this week since I have to go to a offline tournament on Sunday.

Sadly I won't be able to make it to the Saturday tournament, but I have already signed up for the Wednesday one.
For the Wednesday Tournament, do I have to use customs?

Alright. I signed up, this will be my first tournament online, so I'll apologize ahead of time if I ask stupid questions.

But this seems like fun. See you guys Wednesday!

No you don't have to use customs. BUT if your opponent needs them on you are required to have them on.

No worries, if you have any questions ask me bud.

All communication for the tournament is done through Twitch chat. Brackets will be shuffled a few times, so don't play your opponent till I say to.

I'm just wondering, how do you check in? Do I just go on to your twitch channel and type in the chat my NNID? Do I need to add you now? Will you host the room or will it be one of the contestants? How will we know when our next match is?

At 6:00pm EST Check Ins begin, to check in go to the bracket link on Challonge and click on the Check In link on there. You can also access the bracket link through my stream by typing !bracket.

The farther you make it in the tournament the more likely you are to play on stream. In the earlier rounds if I don't call your name, you check the bracket to see who you are playing then find your opponent in Twitch chat and go do your match.

All communication during the tournament is done through Twitch so unless I call your name you keep playing opponents off-stream. I would aim to be in the stream by 6ish to get checked in and everything.

Wait, when playing our opponent how do we agree or pick a stage? What's the process?

Fair enough.

If you have any questions just ask, it's all very simple once you get used to it. :)

So tommorow's tournament is gonna be my first ever one, can you explain to me how stage picking and counter picks work? I don't really understand and I don't wanna be lost.

With stage striking you to decide where the first match will be played it's 1-2-1. Host strikes 1 stage from neutrals, player 2 strikes 2 stages and then the host strikes one more, you then play on the remaining stage.

As for counter picking the Winner of game 1 for example can ban 3 stages, the loser will then counter pick.

You can also technically just agree on a stage with your opponent to skip the stage striking / banning process.

Hopefully that cleared everything up for ya.

at 6:20pm EST I would go to my twitch channel. All communication is done through there.

at ^6:30pm EST the tournament will start. You will check the bracket at that time, find your opponent in Twitch chat and go do your matches. When you finish you can either report your scores directly to the bracket or to me in Twitch Chat.

If you are reporting to me let me know your opponents name and the final score.
