All right, Hylian, I understand. I am the same way with Atomsk over here. Maybe I should get him to go.
Btw, I do have some problems with the rules, Xyro77.
I saw these as legal stages in the thread linked to from AiB. Port Town, Luigi's Mansion, Pirate Ship, Pictochat, Norfair, Yoshi's Island (Melee), Green Greens, and Onett absolutely must be banned. If you need any of these stages explained, I will explain why they are abysmal for competitive play. Pokemon Stadium 2 is debatable, but I personally would want it banned and it's usually banned over here.
Also, I am very concerned over the payouts. If the event is going to be very large, you should be paying out top 5 in singles and top 4 in teams like FAST did. It's really unfair to not pay out more spots at huge events and every other huge regional/national tournament has paid out more than top 3.
