Is there an age restriction? Because it is in a lounge after all

There is no age restriction

 

[Call_]

Hopefully I can go, being a student and barely having a ride there might be tough, can't wait to play with you all.

 

[Mini_Mac]

Do spots get filled up quickly? I plan on getting there a tad bit before 6:30 either way but I'm just curious. Also, this will be my first smash tournament so out of curiosity are there any major requirements I must meet in order to compete or is the tournament open to the general public?

 

[Xygonn]

1) We post the results on facebook after each event, but we'll look into getting those scores over here as well in the future.
2) We pay out to 4th--it's usually along the lines of 50%/30%/15%/5%.
3) They aren't at the moment, but we're aiming to work up to this eventually.
4) Yep.
5) Nope.

Hope to see you out at one sometime!

Regarding #4 gamepad usage.

Dumb question, but lets say two players both want to use the gamepad. RPS for first round and switch each game?

 

[Mechon7]

There is no age restriction

Sweet! I will enter if that's the case

 

[Cyrrona]

Does anyone know how we are supposed to record our bracket matches?

Not sure exactly what you're asking here... All matches on stream will be saved as VODs, but we don't have a system in place for capturing footage of the rest. If you're asking about reporting your bracket match, just tell one of the TOs (we'll identify ourselves at the start).

Is there any chance we can get playercams during this Friday's tournament?

We should have a player-facing cam for the stream like last time.

That works. Fortunately, I don't think you'll run into that problem.

You should be able to get a spot in bracket if you show up at 6:30, yeah. It's open to the general public, so come on out--even if you're not a tourney vet, people are happy to give advice to first-timers and play some friendlies after consoles open up.

Sorry to add to the list of questions, but will doubles be a possibility at this tournament or future ones?

Egg. --it's something we're interested in but can't currently support. We'll let everyone know if it becomes a possibility in the future.

[Nster]

Cyrrona You answered my question. Thanks!

 

[Nster]

Cyrrona Random question: will you be playing personally?

 

[Cyrrona]

Cyrrona Random question: will you be playing personally?

I probably won't if it looks like we're going to hit a registration cap, but otherwise yep (despite how tilted I play when hosting)!

 

[Cyrrona]

FYI, we have 6 monitors and 8 consoles so far. We'll need 8 of each to keep the registration cap at 64 and at least 10 of each to remove the cap entirely.

If you're planning to attend and can bring a setup, please let us know by adding it to the form in the bottom of the event description. We want to accommodate as many people as possible, but we need more setups to do that--help out if you can!

 

[Xygonn]

I can bring a second TV, but it's kinda laggy.

 

[Mini_Mac]

Just curious, are participants allowed to bring a friend along even if the person they bring isn't participating? I have a friend who doesn't play smash 4 a lot but enjoy's watching smash bros in general.

Yeah, they can. For future reference, If you want to spectate, you have to pay the venue cost. If you want to play, you have to pay the venue cost and the bracket cost (singles, doubles, etc.)

 

[ArNoh]

Can't wait!! It's tomorrow! I have to go through a big math test first but hopefully it will be worth it. I'll arrive sometime at 6. I'm bringing a friend. Also, is there anywhere you can check out the bracket list and how do you know when you're up?

 

[Call_]

how much is venue? im bringing 3 people (including me) and just want to know ahead of time.

 

[Cyrrona]

Also, is there anywhere you can check out the bracket list and how do you know when you're up?

We'll announce both during the tournament.

how much is venue?

Free! Bracket is $5.

 

[ArNoh]

Can't wait!!! Only a few hours away!! I cant believe I'm finally going to go to my first Smash Bros tournament ever!!!

 

[Luigiguy42]

Same!!! so hype!

 

[Nster]

HYYYYPPPPEEE!!

 

[Luigiguy42]

This was really fun! We'll definitely be back! Too bad I got instantly eliminated but I still had a good time.

 

[ArNoh]

Wow!! I did way better than I expected!! Won 2 rounds in Losers but lost 3rd round. I'm happy!!

 

[ArNoh]

Does anybody know if we get ranked for this? I know I got a 25th place tie but does that affect or create a ranking for us here on smash boards?

 

[Cyrrona]

Glad you guys enjoyed! We don't currently report scores here on Smashboards, but we're considering changing that--I'll let you all know here if/when that pans out.

 

[Cyrrona]

Setup call--if you're attending and can bring something, please add it to the link at the bottom of the event description if you haven't already done so. We'll need more than what we've got so far to run things smoothly.

On that note, if you're bringing a setup, plan to get here early (6:30 at the very latest) so we can get it situated in time for bracket.

Thanks, and see you all tomorrow!

 

[Xygonn]

I'm out of town, sorry I can't help out this week.

 

[Cyrrona]

I'm out of town, sorry I can't help out this week.

Appreciate the sentiment all the same! Some others came through to fill the void, so we should be in decent shape now.

 

[.Alpha.]

Thanks! We're definitely off to a good start. The tournament recurs every other week, so there should be more opportunities for you coming up.

I will be attending this tourney each time and would just like to sincerely thank you for stepping up and starting a downtown event. One suggestion though about equipment, though I'll be providing my wii u game cube adapter and disc I suggest ensuring that they have the proper content like dlc fighters(scratch that just downloaded the app to edit the doc and saw the dlc included part, well organized my friend!), dreamland and bayos packaged stage as I main Ryu and would hate to have to find a setup besides my own that has him. Anyways thanks again I'm really happy to see this state growing a smash scene and I'm def cashing in on being apart of that and helping in anyway I can( including if you need any help setting up or breaking down the venue) I'll see you smashers on the 11th!

 

[Cyrrona]

FYI: With our venue shifting its management philosophy and our series growing beyond what our current space can comfortably support, we're going to need to take a hiatus until we can secure something more appropriate. We aim to come back swinging with a better crew than ever, though, so we'll hopefully be able to bring Seattle some more great Smash competition soon.

Glad everyone has enjoyed Season 1--we'll try to get results incorporated here and our VODs onto YouTube during the downtime. Stay tuned, and thanks for your patience and support!

So the 11th is canceled sad day I was getting hype

 

[LochTessMonster]

Ah man I thought I had finally found a Seattle tournament. Anyone know of any other tournaments in the Seattle area?

By results do you mean the placing that we got? And is that going to create a ranking for us here on SmashBoards?

 

[Cyrrona]

Don't worry--we'll be back before too long! Until then, though, you can find upcoming PNW Smash events here.

Yep. Not totally sure how SmashBoards interprets those results, but we've had some people ask, so it's something we'll be looking into.

Alright, and when do you think those results will be up? Also, are I am a bit confused, is this Friday's tournament going to get postponed?

We'll post here when they are, and yes--tournaments are postponed until we find a new venue.

 

[Egg.]

Have you thought about holding the tournament on the UW campus? There have been tourneys held here in the Maple Great Room and the Intellectual House, they're pretty decent-sized venues. Plus that would mean I wouldn't have to struggle to get off my lazy butt and take a bus downtown.

 

[ArNoh]

So we are not having a tournament today?
