Idea for TOs
I was thinking, since friendlies/mm's are notorious for holding up tournies and bracket progression, what if TOs would collect the Wii AV cables at the start of the tourney, and hand it to players as he called their matches, and then the winner of the set brings the cables back as he is reporting the set to the TO?
Someone told me it sounds extreme, but it'd prevent the tourney from being stalled. If people were worried about mixing cables (even though they all do the same thing), the cables could be labeled with their respective wii's.
Thoughts?

That's actually an amazing idea for tournament management, despite the fact that people would get pissed. Maybe dedicating two setups (given a reasonable amount of setups to begin with) to free play and collecting the cords from the others would be a fair compromise.

That's a pretty terrible idea, cables will get mixed up/go missing and I can see it turning people away. Its not hard to walk over and unplug someones controller or threaten a game loss if they are playing when you're about to call matches or holding up a match.

Phil, the only way they could be lost is if the players lose them on the way to their setup (I hope people aren't that irresponsible) , otherwise they'd be with the TO or plugged into the wii/tv. As far as mixing goes, they can be labeled; I myself would buy a sticker sheet with numbers on it or something.

I agree with EE. There's no reason why you'd need to go to those measures to stop friendlies. Just make it an apparent threat that holding up the bracket with friendlies or mms will lose them the first game on first warning and the set on the second. Enforce the rules lol.
And I wouldn't be surprised if some of the ******s in this community lost cables on the way to the setups.

I'm pretty sure all TOs have been in the position where you tell someone to stop playing friendlies, they quit, then you turn your back and they're playing again.
Unplugging cables is better than DQing people who paid money.

In theory it isn't a bad idea, however people might not want to bring a set up if this is the case. Even though someone mention having a system to make sure that the cables are not mixed up it is bound to happen. Imagine the chaos at nationals. I mean at smaller events it's a great idea because it will stream line the tournament. Not as many set ups, less likelihood of cables getting messed up. It sounds a little extreme though I mean if someone is giving you a hard time just DQ them, problem solved.

I meant locals/regionals of like 10 setups or something. Nationals definitely not. They already have enough problems on their own *COUGH POUND V COUGH PLANK*

Well if it's something small then it would make sense, however I could still see people not wanting to bring setups over it.

It'd be no different from any other kind of tourney, it'd just hypothetically run faster.

when is DNA? and where?

Yes- That certainly isn't a bad idea but I agree with EE on this one. TO's are rarely ever alone and there are usually 3-4 people helping out with calling matches. I'd suggest just announcing before the event begins that DQ's will be issued for anyone starting a mm or friendly during a tourny match. In fairness, TO's should be able to keep an eye out on what setup is/isn't being used and be able to call matches accordingly. It won't be long before Inui and I host, and I can imagine it will run very smooth. I'd be willing to help out should you decide to host as well. You can obviously trust me to get things done.

Hello newcomer, forgot to say hi earlier.
DNA is a tournament in Massachussets that I'm crazy enough to travel to this weekend
For future reference on tournies that are actually within decent driving distance you can check this thread's first page/post. I update the upcoming tournies in our area every week.

I'd easily trust Kai as TO staff because he doesn't give enough of a **** not to unplug people.
