Double posting to let everyone know that the brackets have been posted. Be sure to know what time slot your pool(s) is in as well.

If I can get the time off of work I'll be going as a late entrant. I have one question though, since it's round robin what happens if there is a three way tie in pools?
I ran into this problem at a Jupiter tournament. In the end we decided to just split the money three ways since the TO was being indecissive. Being this could happens in pools and not a single RR bracket I'm interested in what happens @ RagingCherry

 

[GDX]

usually in round robin if there is a 3 way tie for first, even through tiebreakers,those 3 will start a new RR with just themselves to determine top 2

 

[randeez]

these tournaments appropriate for younger (8y/o) gamers, strictly spectator?
i played brawl forever ago, been playing wii u/4 with kiddo past couple months he'd go nuts if i told him we were gonna go i jus want to make sure atmosphere is cool with it.

i guess alternatively same for me being there lol

@ R randeez

I think bringing your kid will be fine for him. Can't say anything about League of Legend's community but Smash is great and very friendly to everyone. Just fyi, their might be a few bad cuss words from random people but the majority isn't that bad.

I've never attended a real tournament before, so I'm sorry if these are stupid questions...

1. I've been debating back and forth if I should go to this. For that reason, I didn't register online. From reading the site, my understanding is that I could still attend and register at the door (I understand it's more expensive) the day of? I guess my confusion came because it was mentioned above that the brackets had already been posted, but the site does seem to indicate that last minute arrivals are accepted, so I'm not sure how to reconcile the two (maybe late entrants get their own bracket?). (Actually post #40 seems to partially answer this question, but I'll leave it.)

2. Wired (GameCube) controllers are necessary? I've only played Smash Wii u with the Pro Controller... now, I do have GameCube controllers, and only haven't used them so far because I don't own an adapter. I don't imagine using the GameCube controller would be a problem, but I guess I was just wondering if the Pro Controller was allowed (I think I read generally not because of wireless interference?)

3. (Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this lol) I live in Boca Raton, is anyone from the general area attending this who might want to carpool (+maybe hotel...pool lol?)? Either in your car or my own; I wouldn't mind driving, would just be... well lonely by myself lol.

4. Anything else I should know that may influence my decision to go one way or another?

Thanks in advance, and again I apologize if these questions come off as ignorant

 

[randeez]

sounds good,he's not very sheltered when it comes to cussing so no worries there - just wasnt sure if there was constant trash talk etc ... i already booked hotel and a few other things around town to do anyway (kid's bday!)
see ya all there

tops- we'll be heading that way from palm beach gardens early, but will probably return sunday evening (doubt we'll stay till its all done 10pm sunday?) shoot me a pm if interested

@ T topspin1617

Wiimotes and their accesories are permitted. Says nothing against them in the rules. Most competitive players just forget they exist. Every tourney I go to players are shocked that I use the Nunchuk and can beat them.

But bring your Gamecube controller just in case XD

 

[T0RN]

Man I wish I could make it to a regional like this. Good luck to all attending.

 

[freesubs]

What were the payouts for top8 in each game?

 

[platomaker]

Sucks smash 4 ditched the round robin at the last second, any clue why?

 

[Noa.]

The proportion of amount of people to setups was too low. It still worked out quite well though.

 

[platomaker]

People to set ups...but didn't we have more people than PM?

Results thread??

 

[Awstintacious]

When will Results thread be made? Trying to link results to people.

 

[Zach777]

You all might be waiting a while for the results thread. When it finally does get posted, would one of you post it here, please?

 

[Claire Diviner]

Probably one of the most one-sided Grand Finals I've seen. Tournament as a whole was really good though.

I, too, am eager for the results thread (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

 

[B_AWAL]

I'm Chez (Awal) and I used if you could plz put that in the system

 

[Orange Fox]

Random, but how do I link it so it shows I attended?

 

[Zach777]

Smashboards ranking system is a pain. I still haven't figured out how to do that, good luck.
