since you're asking everyone here, I'm assuming you don't know anyone in the area personally that you would probably be PMing about this.
So I'm gonna go ahead and say your best bet is to get a BUNCH of friends on board with you to reserve ONE hotel room and split the cost...it'll be relatively cheap that way...
either that or hold out in this thread until someone offers cheap housing [not terribly likely >_>]

me and falcomist are getting in thursday night and leaving tuesday morning
can anyone house us thursday night and monday night? (i'm pretty sure we'll be at a hotel during the tournament itself)
that would rock
and there's a small chance a certain quiet ghost would be along for the ride too
we can be out of your hair during the day friday if you like

he's noncommittal and plane ticket prices have jumped hugely since we bought ours (160 per person, it was an awesome deal)

Why is SS not confirmed
I can't take him seriously much longer after the genesis flukes, I was hoping he'd redeem himself a little bit by not getting wrecked by people from EC.

i'm not sure he's worried about being taken seriously by "The Irish Mafia"
SS plays for himself and to have fun; unfortunately I don't think any skewed idea of "redemption" or "revenge" appeals to him

the rulesets in europe are indeed different. something about best of fours or something.... idk.... i think their stage choice is less varied too, and rules like DSR aren't in effect afaik.

Are we joking here or should we start listing names for my brother and I?
Haha anyways it'll be interesting to see how this one goes with so many countries battling for first.
Maybe someone should make a game were people post their predictions and the one who get's it right or closest gets a prize

i dont bet on anything but im going with my gut on 5 in top ten..oh and im from ga so im not including myself..lol
The rules differ between the countries. Up here we (most of us) like to allow as many stages as possible.
Bo4 in pools was "created" by me and C last summer and so far has only been used in two tournaments here and one in Finland, that I know of.
DSR is always in effect at any and every tournament.

probably bigger than Genesis.
Thanks Plairnkk!
BTW, people looking for cheaper flights, please check the first post for instructions on how to get 10% off your plane ticket when flying with AirTran Airways. Pound 4 has an EVENT CODE that you can use when calling to book your reservation.
I have 16 people confirmed from Puerto Rico, and I will be getting the hotel reservations this week.

Rulesets in Europe tend to be different for each countries. Usually, Southern countries have a more conservative ruleset that Northern ones.
Norway, Sweden, Finland and Germany usually allow about as much stages as the US.
France and Spain only allow 6 or 7 stages (and still, people rant because of KJ64), and The Netherlands tend to do the same even though they used to allow a few more stages.
DSR and Advanced Slob Picks are of course on. Germany and France also use PSR (Pamaro Stupid Rule), stating that a player should not wait to much to choose his counterpick. We did that because of Pamaro, a German player who took 20 mn to choose each of his counterpicks during a best of 5, driving his opponent crazy.
Wobbling is now usually banned in most countries, except in Sweden and Norway.
I'd say we also have Bo5 and Bo7 sets more often than in the US (like in France, 64-man brackets are usually best of 5 for the whole bracket or almost, we do one or two best of 3 sets depending on how late we are).

Im sure its a nasty combo of the two. But then again their tournaments might start and end on schedule lol =]
Slhoka

Haha definitely not. Especially French tournaments.
But the overall situation isn't the same. Sure, we usually have many TVs (when I'm hosting a tournament, I usually aim for 1 TV per 5 players, 4 if possible). But we also save time because we almost always have the venue for the night, which often allows us to start a tournament earlier and end it later. That doesn't make such a big difference, as I try not to force people to play tournaments games after midnight and people don't get up early and whine when I say "tomorrow, the tournament restarts at 10."
Here's what I know :
Confirmed :
Sweden : Armada, Aniolas, C, Jadde, AJP anton.
Denmark : Stelzig, Jonas
Netherlands : Remen, Zgetto, Faab, Amsah, Marc, Utto
Interested but unsure to come :
Finland : Neutroni, Vilness
Sweden : no idea, but I think some wanted to come.
Netherlands : Adam ? Maybe a few others
France : Makenshi, Slhoka, Qlex, niam (currently in Canada), a few other, more or less random guys.
Spain : Strawhat Dahean, Over, K-12. Maybe Iced, and a few others
Germany : maybe kJaB and Ice ?
Top or famous players not coming for sure :
Sweden : Calle W, Ek
France : Poilon, Infernum, Baxon

I think it only applies to pools. If you win the two first games in a pool match, you win the pool match. If you win one and your opponent wins one, you have to play two more. If you win three of four, you win the pool match, and if you win two of four, it's a draw. Or something >___>
It was kinda like that at a Swedish tournament I attended, if I remember correctly.
we should revive TA for this... somehow.... remember when you tried to implement that crazy **** about how you had to beat all of TA and you win money or something? so funny

Wtf do you guys think we're some ******* with random rules? =/
Here are the rules from our last tournament.
--------------------
The Rules
--------------------
BYOC: Bring Your Own Controller!
Rules for 1 vs 1:
Pouls+Double Elimination, best of 3. Best of 5 from quarter finals, best of 7 for winner's finals.
4 Stock, 8 minutes Stocktime
If the timer runs out the player with the most stock left wins. In case of a stock tie the player with the lowest percentage wins (so the Sudden Death does not count in this case). In case of a percentage tie the Sudden Death is played.
Items are off.
Poule rules:
If for some reason 2 players seem to have ended up in a tie we will review who wins in this order:
1. number of sets won, if this is a tie we will go to the second factor
2. total matches won, if this is also a tie we will go to the last factor
3. the winner of the set that the tied players played against eachother.
4. In case of a 3-way tie and the first 3 factors are all equal, there will be a rematch for those 3 players
After stagestriking both players will have the chance to ban one level for the entire set.
STAGE RULES
Stagestriking will be used at ZEST4
How Stagestriking works:
You play 1 game of rock/paper/scissors with youre opponent.The winner gets to strike a stage first. After this the loser will strike 2 stages and the winner may strike the last stage. This way 1 of the random stages is being played in the first game. (in teams Fountain of dreams will be replaced by battlefield.)
Random stages:
Final destination
Dreamland 64
Pokemon stadium
Fountain of dreams
Yoshi's story
Counterpick stages:
Mute City
Rainbow ride
Kongo jungle 64
Battlefield
stage bans: basicly every other level
the other levels are allowed if opponent AGREES to play it
The first match of a set both players are allowed to pick character, all following matches will be played with the use of Advanced Slob Picks (ASP). This means that after a match, the loser of the previous match anounces the stage (can also be random if you want to), then the winner of the previous match choses character, and finally the loser of the last match picks a character.
Daves Stupid Rule (DSR) is used.
Stalling tactics such as Peach bombering or rising pound are banned unless when used for recovery.
Only gay thing about this one is mute city rest of the rules are alright.
