Seems like it would be fun, but I just set plans for an anime convention that's happening on that weekend :/

Though to be honest, I'd be a lot more interested if this were 3 stocks for Smash 4. But I'm not gonna make it so whatever.

I'm interested. I'd be even more willing to go if it was 3 stocks, 8 minutes.
Right now, it seems that this is a one-day event. Even Shuffle VII, though well-run, had to have GF in a place other than the venue due to the 7pm time limit. Brackets even started as early as 10am. Even with a smaller amount of entrants, I doubt a measly 10 hours will permit enough time for 3 stocks 8 minutes.

I've seen it happen. The main issue is starting on time. Which I've never seen happen. Which imo, needs to happen and should happen.

With Dreamland now being a pretty likely new Neutral will that be affecting the stagelist in any way?

Guys. There's 3 weeks till the tournament. Is 2 stock set in stone? Myself and I'm sure other players would REALLY like this to be 3 stock and if enough people want to change the rules, it needs to be now before the tourney is too close to change the rules.

That feel when you cancel plans to go to this because it says "melee tournament" in the opening text of the thread, but then it isn't actually a melee tournament so you canceled for nothing... You guys should probably fix that.

Yeah, they essentially copy-paste their OP's from tournament to tournament and don't bother to check to see if the info is even relevant lol. It also says it's a two-day event at the bottom of the OP, which it definitely isn't.

Everything ended working out, but required some awkward un-canceling. Thanks for updating the first post, try to keep it accurate in the future lol.
