Can anybody post FULL results? i will place it on the front page.

Also, please get ready for the next tournament on may 10th. I will take down T-rex.
Sorry, my pen drive died at 12:06 am Mon (a little bit before the tourney ended), and thus I have to wait for the .tio file to get mailed to me later today to post the results.

There is another Brawl tourney on April 26th at UofH. I'll get more details on it today. TGM, if you're free and want to run it, feel free. If not, I'll do it again... Also, it's May 3rd, not May 10th. http://allisbrawl.com/ttournament.aspx?id=553

Gods, I never thought I'd say this but... I need to get smaller TVs, cho. ~ ~;

Man, all of ya'll are too Awesome! Everyone that went, I can't wait to meet ya'll again! You guys are the ones that make tournaments fun!
^ ~
I'll post more later... Like shoutouts.

OK, I just got the results back. They'll be up at AllIsBrawl in about a day or two. If you guys have a AllIsBrawl account and want me to link your results, let me know through PM. http://allisbrawl.com/ttournament.aspx?id=491

Also, here are the results to the Trashday tourney.

If Julius and Felix were Team "Julius and Felix", then "Team Lubbock" consisted of Jra64 and who? Also, I'm curious to know who the Lubbock people lost to.

XZalla, I know you be lurking ^_^'. Tarzan was talking bout swinging by today, but I'm going out to eat with some some other friends tonight, I want to get you over on the same day Tarzan's over here.

Ronnie, I'm looking at you.

Also, looking at the results of that tourney, I can tell you right now Brawl is very nOOb friendly.... but I kinda already knew that. Atleast Seth placed o.k.

Good Job Sethlon.

Also:


GEA!, LOL, this made me laugh so hard, get that $$%#2 outta here. LOL!

jra64 and me are team lubbock as always :)

Felix lost to Sethlon twice, Julius lost to me in winners and then to Felix in losers bracket. Jra64 lost to me in winners bracket. We met again in losers finals and we decided to split the money and let him advance to grand finals to play vs T -Rex since he has more practice vs Snake.

It was a very fun tournament! there were a lot of people like almost 70 i think!

Dugfinn Nice talking to you in English and a little in spanish ;) Could you post the brackets yes?

Rockettrainer and Furbs- chino we should play. Furbs good job in Singles with Yoshi :)

Sethlon- intense matches you and Hylian got lucky that last game in Delfino!!, lol good job getting 4th, we should play soon!!

Mr. 3000 - Good thing the money was found! good job in teams :lick:

T Rex- Congratz for winning the tourny. Snake is G@y ;)

TGM- you suck for not coming to this. :ouch:

Pimpslap- ur cool too =D

Cesar- long time no see!

Hylian- Good job beating mr. 3000 and getting 2nd in teams! you seem to like Houston, you should like, move here =D

Whoever i missed.... well....nah i got nothing. ur cool too.

Yeah, it was good stuff. I didn't feel very well during the tourney.

Roy, we should definitely play more and start testing out stuff later this week if possible...

Furbs, I need that controller back whenever.

I'll probably miss the next one, because I'm running low on money.

OK Jake, I accepted you, and Jeremy, I added you, too. I don't have Halo 3 nor do I even have a Gold XBL account. And my guitar hero guitar is messing up again. It seems like the universe only wants me to play Smash

Nice tournament, not so much in the Smash part.

I didn't know DugFinn had a rep of fixing brackets at tournaments.
Seriously, when all the Austin people have to play each other, thats not random. And does not sound like it was "manually" changed either (and yes, I pointed this out many times in person). In the end, people just call that "poor organization", and thats what we saw (non-Austin people saw this too).

But whatever, its done now.
Not much we can do at this point.


I only point this out for the sack of the PZ tourny.
I just know for sure the brackets won't be fixed this time around for May 3rd as long as its hosted at Planet Zero.

And lol @ people getting ripped off at the smash tourny.
Yeah, that guaranteed prize pot was trash. Let's not forget that the CvS2 prize pot was stolen. Oh wait, that does not matter because we made so much money off the smash noobs :dizzy:

Yeah ok... nice...

it was resolved so don't worry about that was strange you guys getting stuck against each other.
Its obvious you don't understand what happened, but whatever.

Nothing was resolved, it only made further issues of the situation here.
The only thing it did resolve was that the PZ people will be on the look out for any fixed brackets any case something like this happens again.

what's up, I'm a current florida smasher but I'm moving to cypress Texas in about 2 weeks. (i believe that's the Houston area)

I'm looking for some good competition when i get there. I don't know any smashers in the area so I'm looking to play with anyone good. My screen name and handle is LaughterIsDeadly and my cell is 832-866-3462.

*sigh* No I don't rig brackets. This was something Jeremy started up because he's a looser that's sore 'cause he sucks.

The brackets were randomized. There were several people (like 10 of them) surrounding me when I did this. They saw. It's not like I was hiding anything. I moved some of the players around so that they wouldn't be near each other. I can't remember who was near me when I was doing this. I know that Jra64 guy was (because he wouldn't stop talking), but lots of other people where too. I hit save. Coincidentally, the Austin players where next to each other in the brackets. I noticed this and moved them too. I left to make sure that the TVs were set-up and ready with rules so we could start this thing. While I was gone, the girl that was sitting at the table closed the program (she swears it was an accident), then re-opened it. Everything was saved, except for the Austin players being moved. Since I didn't know this had happened (and I didn't find out that she'd closed and re-opened the program till Sunday), the tournament started and since the Austin players were at the very bottom of the bracket I didn't see that the move had been un-done. Yeah, I was ticked off, but I was also seriously confused because I did move the Austin players and then they were un-moved and I didn't know how of why. But I couldn't mess with the brackets after the tournament had started. I do apologize for that. Anyone is welcome to constantly keep an eye on the brackets at any tournament though because I have NOTHING to hide.

As for the issue with Pimpslap, basically, this guy (I won't mention names 'cause everyone that was there knows who I'm talking about) was doing waaaaaay too much stalling. Due to retardedness on that guy's part (like having only one controller for three people, WTF?!), I should have DQed him, but I was nice and let it slide. He beat Pimpslap with stalling cheese. So now, to keep stalling cheese from happening again (I mean it was really dirty and getting everyone ticked off), VERY specific anti-stalling rules have been added to the ruleset. So, it's been taken care of.

Oh, and the prize pot, yeah, those Trashday guys were ******** about that. There were 63 entrants, so it SHOULD have been $945 pot. But they only gave us $700. When I found out about this I went and tried to get the rest (I'm sure some of ya'll saw me confront them, then take it outside). Basically, according to them, "guarantee" means that it's only that amount, whether 5 people or 500 people show up, only the "guarantee" amount is what would be for pot. I told them that's 100% BS and that we're not letting them do registration for Smash next year (if we return to Trashday). Yeah, nothing I could do about it, no matter how much I argued it with them. And no, I didn't receive any cut or compensation in case any of you are wondering. I help run these things because I LIKE it, not because I get anything out of it.
