..Sorry, I am almost positive its been said but when is this being held? Around launch or are we gonna let the people unlock everything so people who care won't get spoiled by spoilers?
2 weeks after launch is the event. If that's not enough time for players to unlock everything then they enter the tournament at their own risk.

Miss you Ryan
Respect for spoilers has its limits, and when it is detrimental to the players who don't care, then you sort of have to let the people afraid of spoilers get over themselves.

If it takes more than two weeks to unlock the char's, they probably just aren't as committed to the game as the people who would be playing in this anyways.

Two weeks is more than enough sufficient playing time to unlock anything neccessary for competitive play while at the same time, not spoiling the single player experience.

However, for those who do not have everything unlocked, the tournament will not cater to you. It is up to each individual competitor to take care of their unlocks before entering the tournament.

I've made a few tiny updates here and there to the main post... I'll be releasing a video blog soon discussing both the benefits and "hurdles" that online organized play such as this will face. =) Thanks everyone for your support.

i hope this will work the way its supossed to and I think that you should be able to unlock most things in two weeks if not everything, maybe not all the stages but at least the characters or at least the ones you want to use

Everything will be on eastern time. I'm glad you brought up skype. Let me explain something rather important. Skype has extremely powerful quality. You might as well be talking on your cell phone with perfect reception. This will hurt your overall connection (bandwidth) and possibly effect your game play. Teamspeak is much different from Skype. The ease at which you can change rooms and talk to different people within it or listen for director announcements makes these programs much more effective for large scale events such as this. When playing casually skype is a perfect option though.

Anyone else should feel free to comment on this ;)

I have brawl!! I have unlocked everyone important other than Lucario (who I might use), Snake and Toon Link (who my friends might use).

My friend Code is 244943053289. In case anyone cares. Because I can barely remember phone numbers, let alone friend codes, I have it noted down in my Ipod Touch. Hehee.

Some people are experiencing problems trying to connect to games online. We're all banking on the fact that Nintendo hasn't fully setup their servers right now. Silly them for thinking that people wouldn't be looking to go online so soon.

I'm Registering as soon as I get home, but will Lag be at our own expense, or will it be a discussed issue. Or did I just miss where you guys talked about it :D

We're banking on the fact that many wii games in the past started out with some ugly lag issues that were resolved in the future. We would like to think that a game as big as Brawl would be worth Nintendo's while to have working online effectively. Afterall... this is the game that was supposed to launch Nintendo Online.

Not to sound pessimistic, but:

You keep saying banking this, banking that. Point is, it might still be a huge issue by the time the tourney rolls around. So, what will you do if it is? You can't just hope it isn't and not be prepared...

FYI... we are having a test tournament this weekend so by then we'll have a much better idea of how well this is going to work (we've been planning that for quite some time)

Okay. BIG ISSUE. My Wii was taken in the brawl disc read error crisis. Can I still compete on Aaryks wii?
I think you'll have to just share a single name with Aaryk. The test tournament is very laid back since we're more seeing if the overall procedure will simply work. Plus there's no way of ever knowing if multiple people aren't sharing the same wii and taking turns.

You need to be a member of our own site to take part in this test tournament.

My problems resolved as of now, my neighbor is a tech god and helped fix my wii without having to take it to nintendo (time without plus no warrantee coverage equals hella lame)

sorry I missed the beta...
My parent's were threatening to take the Wii, so I stashed it and it's going mobile for a few days.
However, they will be in Spain next week, so I can participate in the main tourney. thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!

help...

So...maybe I am not the greatest reader ever, but can I still get in on the tourney. I did the wii thing where you add OBCconfirmation@gmail.com. Now do I just wait? or am I too late? or should I do something else?

I AM CONFUSED!!!!!
