Only because your singles character is also viable in doubles :(
Alot of characters are viable for both singles and doubles. Learn to use your characters >_>

I agree 100% with Jerm. Doubles get me warmed up for singles.

Also, what are the options?
option 1, pools <3

option 2, 3/5 bracket, 4/7 losers, winners, and grand finals =[

Moving on! In Magnolia, Tx one of my pals named Aaron found a Play N' Trade up in Spring, Tx that would hold smash tournaments and he wanted to hold a brawl event, so he asked me to help him and we held a brawl tournament there. We named it HOBO(Houston's Official Brawl Ordeal) and on 4/5/08 we(unknowingly) unleashed the BIGGEST and most BADASS tournament series in TX/Houston history. HOBO 1 had about 40 players(OOS players like hylian, Dr Drew, Dr MarioKart and Kira showed up) and it was the FIRST legit brawl tournament in the city. 3000 and t-rex took first and 2nd while the legendary roy master of melee(sethlon) took 4th. I still remember HOBO 1 to this day, and im sure they ones that went to it remember it as well because THEY took part in a HISTORIC event that is now being record here. If that was Historic enough you now have DUGFINN! At HOBO 1 i met up with DugFinn and decided we should team up and run tournies together! Yet again, this move along with the move to pass up the sinking ship that is melee was the BEST THING I HAVE DONE in smash!
Are you ****tin' me?

EDIT: When is th next time there will be a Hobo down here?

Champ, that was the first hobos. Great times, at that venue, like 10 minutes from my house. It was right at Louetta and Stuebner Airline.

All we did was separate players by both location and skill as best as possible. Considering how much very little time we had to do it, and despite the fact that there were a few problems, such as two hard and one easy pool, it was done pretty well. And we did not handle brackets.

But whatever, if people didn't like it, I won't help with that then. Simple as that.

There will always be complaints, because it's impossible to do a perfect job of seeding/making pools/whatever.

So who cares?

SOLO!

And that's part of your job as TO/ "manager"

Like Dave said, if you don't like the results of the job you gave us, we won't do it. There's not really anything to discuss.
