Hey th0rn, I'll try and tell you what I can right here.
Firstly, yes, you do have to register through my message boards. From there, I'll update the roster on my main page. Secondly, having one character for the duration of the tourney was my original idea because I was thinking in the same terms you are; if you can pick any character you want, whats to keep you from choosing your opponent's weakness? The game is really about who you are good with when it comes down to a tournament setting. However, if more people can vouch for your claim with their tournament experience, then I'll be more than happy to change it. Thirdly, banned stages is something I've really been struggling with. This is yet another thing that leads back to character advantages/disadvantages. I was going to have it so the two players can choose whatever stage they can mutually agree on. If not, the stage will be set to random and pick from Final Destination, Battlefield, Corneria, Fountain of Dreams, Pokemon Stadium, and Hyrule (just for fun). Obviously, stages like Snowy Mountain, Flatworld, and Rainbow Cruise are not going to be allowed under any circumstances. You let me know if that seems fair enough. Next, we have the "best out of three matches" thing. If you think we can get, at a minimum, two matches per pair of people PLUS the same setup for a loser's bracket done in under three hours, by all means, lets do it. If it works out that way, I bet we can allow people to switch characters as most players have at least two they are good with. And lastly (thank god) please let me direct you to the falmouth schools webpage:
http://www.falmouthschools.org/hs/index.cfm The address to the school can be found there. When you arrive, please go in through the front door as there will be either signs or a person to direct you to the theater; don't worry, its placement is quite obvious. Phew, and that concludes the answering of your questions. I'd love for your team to go and I reallllllly hope you can make it. If you have absolutely any questions at all, especially those concerning directions and tourney input, please give me a call. You will find my phone number in your PM box. Thanks.
