Just got out of the lab. Really hype for this now!
I will win Melee!
EDIT: Since 4 cities will be there (Houston, Austin, SA, and CStat) how about at 4 crew single elimination tourney?

I usually just play Brawl but I picked up Project M recently. It'll be good to get back to tourneys, I know I've got a lot to learn.

I recently watched Sethlon vs CT | Zero and I may just pick up P:M again.
not this time though, too many responsibilities.
@SouthernGent do you know if you're gonna be able to make it out?

I personally think that the SA P:M crew is Zhea, Xilo Pryce, and the entire brawl scene.

I'm new to tournaments and stuff, what's a counterpick and a gigabowser?
Scuba Steve
Smash Ace
When you lose a match in a set, you get to pick the stage for the next match, and you get to choose what character you're using after the other guy. That's a counterpick. Gigabowser is an easter egg character that is basically just a giant version of Bowser that does a crap ton of damage.

Anyone from DFW going? Id love to go and can throw in cash for gas. also have a small setup i can sit in my lap/ setup to play on ride there.

um, question: do i only get to bring a gamecube controller or can i bring my wiimote?
Zhea
Smash Ace
If you are playing PM and you want to play on wiimote and nunchuck that's cool. However you have to remove the batteries between tournament matches. I will not have a desync system, and I don't want you accidentally screwing up a match while just walking around with the wiimote.
C3R3ALgodOFheroes

got it, figured the battery thing. I don't use the nunchuck, I will be using the classic controller for the Wiimote

So there will be doubles for pm & melee? If so abilene will be there
RedGamer

This is primarily singles for now. There is a third event that may be run once the first two events finish.
The third event is decided on a "most popular poll" basis, and for now is looking like P:M doubles.
With the way it's looking now, P:M doubles is the event that will be run.
Who knows, maybe we'll have melee low tiers

PM doubles all day!! CStat and Austin have developed quite a doubles rivalry, we need to stomp them soon.This is primarily singles for now. There is a third event that may be run once the first two events finish.

As of right now we are running Melee Singles and PM Singles at the posted times. After those have wrapped up, or are getting close to wrapped up(PM Finals) I'll ask people what they want to do. Right now, PM Doubles is the odds on favorite. You and the PM austinites show up in force, you'll have your PM Teams.

DFW is indisputably the best PM city in Texas, but who takes the silver medal? Houston, San Antonio, Austin, or College Station? I think this tournament will have a large impact on the second place title. Rains of Castamere II. Get hype!!

Depends if the ol SA brawl monsters come out.
G-Rabbit
Smash Journeyman
There's also Loko and Nike. Pair that with SOS and you guys should have good representation for PM.
RedGamer
Smash Ace
SOS doesn't practice
LoKo doesn't show up
Nike doesn't exist
PK doesn't care for singles
Brawl crew doesn't care at all
LoKo doesn't show up
Nike doesn't exist
PK doesn't care for singles
Brawl crew doesn't care at all
Thus making this statement very true minus the brawl crew, effectively bringing down the SA P:M crew down to two people.
G-Rabbit
Smash Journeyman
SOS can still get by with Melee tricks though. And I'm sure Loko will show up to hang with the homie G-Rabbit. I'll have to hit him up soon.
RedGamer
Smash Ace
I guess you're right
Xilo Pryce
Smash Lord
In that case, nothing to worry about. Daniel and I have got this.

Ack, I wish I had known about this sooner, I have plans on Saturday. I just moved back to the SA area and I'm looking to get involved in the Smash scene. Since it's a monthly I'll definitely try to be at the next one.
RedGamer
Smash Ace
I think the term "monthly" is very very loose here. It's more like a "monthly unless there's another tournament going on that I may or may not attend" kinda thing.
ALRIGHT!!!! I'D LIKE TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
If by some (good/bad) luck P:M manages to get 32 or more entrants, payouts may be changed to top 4.
If by a RIDICULOUS amount of bad karma on me I have to run a 64 man tourney, there will be a straight 64 man bracket to save time.
Lets pray to God that doesn't happen, because this is supposed to be a 1 day tourney.

just realized there are pools. its round robin right?
RedGamer
Smash Ace
OMG, there are POOLS?!?!?! yikes.....
I dunno about this, guys.
Naturally, if there are in fact pools then they would be round robin.
If P:M has time and setups then we could run pools.
It saves me seeding time and people get more matches for their money.
G-Rabbit
Smash Journeyman
I think we'll be fine with setups. I'll be bringing two on my own. I'm sure everyone else will show up for this with setups considering the hype.

I plan to bring a setup up aswell.
I think dragonite got confused because you said if there were 64 or more entrants, then you would run a straight bracket, implying that you would run pools (or maybe some other format) instead. At least that's what I thought your other post meant. I can bring a setup as well, and I think I'd actually be in favor of a straight bracket anyways.
RedGamer

I was planning straight bracket anyways, so to rephrase:
If there is 64 entrants, the format WILL NOT CHANGE!

Someone was confused about it, so to clarify as of now RoC2 PM Singles will be strait bracket, no pools.

p
pools?
G-Rabbit
Smash Journeyman
As in what are pools? Pools is a format in which contestants are split into smaller groups and only the top players from the pool will be seeded into a double elimination bracket. With a small enough group it's usually done in a round robin style, ensuring that everyone who enters the tournament is guaranteed more matches than a strait double elimination tournament (only guaranteed 2 sets). The only downside is that pools requires more resources (time, setups, etc).
