Mississippi Smash University - Check post 881

[LlamaSensei]

I believe Alex also mentioned something about seeding, but to be honest I'm not totally sure.

Also it's not necessarily the person who gets 1st place who gets the $100 stipend. It's the highest placing regional player.

For example, if Armada is playing beeeeeast and beats everyone and then you came in second, you would still get the $100 because m2k isn't atlantic south. That's on top of the normal payouts for 1st-7th or whatever

All that aside, you should definitely come to this! We're working very hard to make sure this the best tournament experience ever. Having you here would be KIND OF a big deal, especially with Armada already coming as well. :O

I want to see Dr. PP vs Armada b/c I wasn't able to attend Pound V. I missed this battle of epic proportions! REMATCH PLEASE! For the children....

Yo this is SOOOOO HYPE!

Dam son I can't wait to see the pics. You sure the Venue will have wifi/Internet so we can stream? Because that was a huge problem @ Pound V lol. + They just weren't gonna stream it to begin with I heard.

 

[Alex Strife]

the qualifers are simple.

Top 8 teams and Singles get 1st seed into Apex Pools

Top placing Regional Player gets a $100 stipend to go to Apex.

There is wireless all around campus, but I'll have to talk to MSU's ITS to see about getting access for all tournament attendants over that weekend.

Whoa I totally answered this question at some point but I don't think I actually posted it haha As in I typed it out and then closed out of the tab

oh well

The basic answer is that I manage that account, but that all I do is have it forward to my personal gmail. If you want to talk via IM, catch me on AIM (winnarisyou is my screenname)

Yes, We have AMAZING Wi-Fi. It's on a college campus, so the whole school is wi-fi

Edit: Uploading Vids and pics of venue....NOW

 

[Winnar]

I don't want to cause any drama or whatever, but I would certainly be grateful for a sticky :D

Double Post because this is all the Pics/Vids of the event space

Cafeteria (in the same building. Chic-fil-a, Sabarro, etc): http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l634/brooklyn_son1/IMG_8233.jpg

Imax Projector (w/ the only Dobly 7.1 surround sound in Mississippi): http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l634/brooklyn_son1/ball3.jpg

10k sq feet event area: http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l634/brooklyn_son1/ball2.jpg

10k sq feet event area 2: http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l634/brooklyn_son1/ball1.jpg

2nd floor lounge (also, entry way into 10K event space): http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l634/brooklyn_son1/IMG_2002.jpg

Some quick notes: The 10k event space. The tables will not be circular as pictured, but instead rectangular laid out in rows (also no table cloth).

The lounge on the 1st floor will be home to friendlies and live streaming of matches and the current bracket results

The cafeteria is actually a lot bigger than in the pic. Its home to Chic-Fil-A, Sabarro Pizza, A convince store, Spanish food, A sandwich shop, and many more food places

The lounge on the second floor is also going to have friendlies and as well be a reception area

The 10K event space has the 1 IMAX projector and 2 other projectors which will be on the side as well (all streaming diff matches

The Grand-Stage also has a projector and will be used for high profile/hype matches

We rented out the entire 2nd and 3rd floors of the event building and partial of the 1st floor. So the entire 15k sq feet of venue space can not be seen in jus these few pics. But yea, its a **** load of space

 

[milesg2g]

WOoooooooOOW this looks amazing smashers please be on your best behavior here. We're so fortunate to have a venue like this.

 

[N-Gage]

^^ if u think that looks cool, u should see the hotels and night time event space ^__^

 

[metalreflectslime]

I don't want to cause any drama or whatever, but I would certainly be grateful for a sticky :D

Done! I actually wanted to sticky this back in January but I asked you and you said for me to wait a few months since it was too early. Any tournament with Armada in it needs an auto sticky.

EDIT: I tried sticking it and it said this:

EDIT 2: Nevermind, the thread is now officially sticked.

EDIT 3: Justin needs to put all of those pictures in the OP so it can look good as WGF and Apex 2010 and Apex 2012.

 

[skaterbaj]

So hyped if brawl and melee get 200+ in each event.

 

[metalreflectslime]

If Justin doesn't edit in the pictures in the OP in 72 hours, I'll use my moderator powers and edit in the pictures myself.

EDIT: I'm not allowed to stick this thread, until Hylian approves the Brawl rule set so the Brawl rule set needs to be fully posted. I unsticked it.

EDIT 2: Does Travis (Jungle on SWF; he is a super moderator) go to MSU? Is he coming to this? I haven't seen him post.

 

[N-Gage]

Up Up and AWAY

 

[milesg2g]

Get on this guys!

Pics need to be on the OP and Ruleset needs to be posted. I'll get Hylian Asap!
lolol

 

[LlamaSensei]

My personal level of Hype is about to max out guys. Get the rules up so we can sticky this!!!

 

[metalreflectslime]

Is anyone here a graduate student at MSU or plans to apply to MSU for graduate school? I need to find out how to get my graduate school application fee waived at MSU and the graduate division isn't answering any of my email messages.

Melee ruleset has to be the same as Apex's, but I don't think it's been posted yet?

As for Brawl's ruleset...

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=292389

I was just going to jump on the bandwagon and use this ruleset (whenever it gets released, I guess it's just Pound 5's ruleset?). I'm not going to do anything crazy like ban MK, I don't know enough about Brawl to challenge BBR's decision on that.

Thanks for the sticky hype!

PS As for the pictures, I have a nice camera (better than the iPhone, anyway) that I plan on using to take pictures/video. Justin's are good for now, but getting higher quality, non-blurry images is on my to-do list for this.

 

[metalreflectslime]

Just let me know when the pictures and the rule set for both games are in the OP so I can tell Hylian to stick it.

 

[N-Gage]

^^ wut department u need Metal ? I'll find out for u on Monday

 

[BunBun]

Good stuff Justin.

 

[Alex Strife]

my ruleset for melee is the pound 5 ruleset

 

[metalreflectslime]

PhD Chemistry at MSU. Thanks.

 

[Winnar]

Updated with the rules!

They are exactly Pound V's :D

Oh, one question to our Brawl players: Are semifinals usually best of 5? I know it is the standard for that in major tournaments now in Melee, but I didn't know if that shift had been made in Brawl yet.

NorCal has actually used best of 5 for quarter finals actually for Melee. Since you are the head TO, you can even make every bracket set best of 5 even if you wanted to and one time there was a thread pushing for a best of 5 set any time there was anticipated extra time.

There definitely will not be extra time, and if there is I would rather run crews or something

Also I want to keep this consistent with the other Apex qualifiers

 

[Armada]

Seriously the ruleset in melee sucks.

The European standard ruleset is way better.

^this...

Confuses me. It makes no sense.

 

[N-Gage]

aTTENTION all: THE WORD "JOHNS" IS NOW PLAYED OUT. THE NEW TERM TO DECLEAR SUM1 WHO COMPLAINS IS "POLAR BEARING"

FOR EXAMPLE: "HEY STOP BEING SUCH A POLAR BEAR". OR "HE IS SUCH A POLAR BEAR WEN HE LOOSES"

-LEMONS- HAS MY BACK ON THIS :-D

 

[Winnar]

ITT: everyone ignores N-Gage

Armada - I pretty much completely agree. If Alex is down with that change then I would definitely take out Brinstar, RC, KJ64

What does ITT mean? Also does Alex Strife require all qualifiers to follow the same rules or can you add your own rules to it? If you can add your own rules to it, by all means do best of 5 for all bracket sets and ban KJ64, RC, and Brinstar.

I have him on my ignore list lol.

 

[Alex Strife]

I require everyone to use the same ruleset.

No one in the US has complained about the Ruleset yet for Melee.

 

[metalreflectslime]

Post in this thread if you support a European rule set for MSU. If there is enough response, Alex Strife will let the qualifiers run European rule sets. Just say something as simple as: "I support the European rule set of using best of 5 for all bracket sets and have RC, Brinstar, and KJ64 banned."
