I can assure everyone with confidence that you have the ability to be just as good if not better than me if you put your heart and soul into this game.

All my love goes to this game. It's been the most wonderful ride of my life, and I look forward to many more <3

We're on our way, man! Just wait up a bit, I'll be up there in Winners Bracket with you soon enough!

Flights are super cheap to this. If I can get a ride from and to the airport and housing, I would love to come to this.

Lemme know about the flight times and I can maybe do the airport if not I'm sure someone can

You all realize...we're gonna need commentary for this Top 8. It's going to be ridiculous hype!

I volunteer for the job.
We should get Robblez Fobbles Wobblez Wobbles in here for commentary.
Either him or Morgan Freeman. Both of their voices and conversations are pleasant.

Zhea, are you teaming with anyone? I think it would be interesting to play Doubles with you, since we both play Falcon.

I traditionally hate doubles, but if someone requests it, sure.
Alright, cool. I think we should get some friendlies in before we enter, just to see if we work well in teams. If things don't seem good, we just won't enter.

Okay I just got a stupidly simple idea on how to make the tournament run a little faster.

Red/Green strips of paper.
On top of every CRT (TV) SetUp we can put a strip of paper with one side is green and the other is red.
Players will flip this stip of paper over to the correct color side depending on the status of their match.

If the CRT is being used for a tournament match or Pools, flip the paper to the Red side.
If the CRT is being used for friendlies or Money Matches, flip it to the Green side.
After every match (except Pools matches that aren't complete) players will flip the strip of paper to the Green side.

Let's look at the pros and cons of this idea:
Pros:
Players don't have to ask 'Is this tournament?' and interrupt matches.
Easy and understandable.
Quick and inexpensive solution to TV hogging hiccups.

Cons:
Players can lie about their matches with these but the Smash community should be trustworthy enough so this shouldn't be a big issue.
Paper could get ripped up or taken. (If needed we could laminate them, haha.)

@ W WaterlessFishie and @Everybody
Do you think this is a good idea and that it should be put into play?

I second this. Pretty neat idea, just as long as everyone cooperates.

Yeah, its cool and all but people would have to remember whats what
Instead of colors, maybe the paper could also have text stating "Tournament" or "Friendlies" because some people that don't know of this at first would be like "w/e idk what it means"

could you house and provide rides to/from the airport/tourney for me and toph?
I can house you both, just be wary that I only have one couch and hardwood floors so bring a blanket or two if you can. I'm likely also hosting soft so it would be yall 3. As far as rides, if I really need to we can all fit in my pickup, but the two seats in the back fold in from the sides so it would be a little cramped for all 4 of us. I can probably just get somebody else to drop by on their way to the tournament to grab you guys. Let me know your flight info when you get a chance, shouldn't be any problems bc I have fridays off.

We need as much stuff as we can get into the store, so always assume we'll use it.

@ W WaterlessFishie
I'm going to make 25 of the laminated stip things, do you think that's enough?

If any one needs housing for this - I probably have spots available. I moved to about 5-8 min from the venue too (hi Gabe!). :)

SA is definitely in need of housing. For now we have 8 guaranteed. That may increase, however several SA players are known for their legendary flake status so we shall see.
