Hey everybody, I'll be entering this as my first major tournament. I don't expect to win anything but I can't wait to be around the general atmosphere that these events bring. I'll be entering Project M singles for now.

Awesome. Could you link me to it? My 1 barrier in getting into the scene is not having anyone who really wants to practice with me.

[Strong Badam]

We need to meet & discuss P:M Wario stuff.

Well PM and Wario are among my favorite subjects so this can probably happen.

 

[LOE1]

Hey, maybe Strong Bad can teach you, too. All 3 of us, & maybe more, can decide who will be the best P:M Wario at Shuffle.

Wario: "While our boy Roy has teh fire, Wario has TEH FIREHOLE! Wahahahahahahaha!"

MANN I CANT WAIT ANOTHER 22 DAYS FOR THIS..

"I can't wait..."

 

[Alejandro Correa]

PM me if you need housing.

 

[Strong Badam]

Registered.

LOE1 and Carls we should do a PM Wario friendly rotation! And any other up and coming Wario that wants to join in =)

 

[What's The Point]

You shouldn't cap a pre-registration that requires no payment. People who are kind of thinking of going will register and then not go, but have blocked out someone who would actually go.

 

[Rusty_Shackleford]

Anyone know when Project M doubles starts? Only the top 8 is on the schedule.

 

[TSM ZeRo]

You shouldn't cap a pre-registration that requires no payment. People who are kind of thinking of going will register and then not go, but have blocked out someone who would actually go.

Yeah, or some people might just go from the area/some people will forget to register. Are signs up at the door not even a small chance? Perhaps like a certain amount of people only can register a the door. That would still make signing up online necessary, but won't punish people that forgot/didn't know about that'/randomly decided to go. I don't know, just ideas.

ALSO HYPE.

 

[Doctor X]

That would still make signing up online necessary, but won't punish people that forgot/didn't know about that'/randomly decided to go.

The second group is a valid concern, but that can be offset with strong promotion.

The first and third groups need to be sharply discouraged for events of this size. Many who would have no real problems signing up somehow imagine doing so as the most difficult thing in the world, and while they do plan on going, they can't be bothered to let the TO's know ahead of time if it isn't required of them. TO's have to work very hard to accommodate behavior like this when they could be focusing on improving the event and resolving potential hiccups like, say... checking with the fire department.

Capping signups at the door might a good idea if the TO's feel the need to quell whining, but I imagine it would invariably produce more whining about much more upsetting problems. Imagine if someone high-profile "forgets to" (i.e is too lazy to) sign up, but drives/flies a significant distance to come anyway. If door signups are already maxed out, there will be whining about that, and likely our subject will guilt-trip and community-appeal their way into the tournament. Then, other people become upset because it makes the registration rules and caps seem meaningless, and they were *such a burden* weren't they? This would happen. Guaranteed.

The real problem is never the signup rules, though. It's that some smashers don't like to be faced with responsibility of any kind, and would rather someone else have to work very hard than to have to make an adult decision. This particular problem should not be allowed to hold back the rest of the community.

 

[TSM ZeRo]

I mean yeah it isn't fair or good that TO's have to deal with that. I'm just throwing an idea.

 

[L_Cancel]

If I were to bring someone along as a spectator would they need to preregister or could they just pay the venue fee at the door?

 

[Shadow the Past]

Players can 100% pay the venue fee to play friendlies, and are in fact encouraged.

 

[Megachuk]

Maybe I missed it on the OP, but is melee both days or just one?

What is the schedule of events?

 

[Esports Initiative]

www.shffl.org has a link to the schedule, Megachuk.

As far as sign ups- the 300 person cap is an online registration cap, its a venue total cap. We will cap it @ 300, and the day of the event any people that don't show up will give their spots away.

Ideally, we would have 300 people who are 100% coming to commit online and come but sadly that is not the case.

Hopefully we get ~280 online signups, that way a good portion of those people will come and there is still some extra cushion for the online wait list

Amar

 

[Shadow the Past]

I thought you weren't doing in person sign-ups.

 

[Esports Initiative]

Sorry, I was unclear- if we hit the 300 wait list cap, subsequent sign ups will be put on a "waitlist", meaning if people pull out their registrations they will have first priority. Also, if you are on the waitlist and are at the event and someone doesn't show, you get their spot. Does that make sense?

 

[Amazerommu]

Umm is there anyone left that can house myself and up to 3 other doodz for this thing?

 

[Deleted member]

So I submitted another Pre-registration form, just so you know. The difference this time being that I entered P:M singles, as well as Melee singles (yes, this is gonna be the first Melee tourney I compete in), and also entered info on the TV setup I'm bringing.

 

[Kidbuu42]

I have a couple questions about controllers. Is this a 100% bring your own controller event or will there be a couple spare ones at some set ups? I can bring my own but they aren't in the best condition. Also are wireless wave bird controllers aloud?

 

[Xythis]

First thing I'm ever going to! Also first post on smashboards! A lot of firsts for me :3

It's highly unlikely there will be any spare controllers there. Tourneys are almost %100 of the time bring your own controller.

I think wireless wave birds are generally frowned upon, but I doubt anyone will really care honestly lol. Just bring what you can.

 

[sneakytako]

Guys there's no way we are gonna get close to 300 entrants lol. Just tell people to stop being lazy and pre-reg if they have any intention of coming.

Also, it would be helpful if there was a way to unregister, in case people find out they can't come.

 

[Leon94]

I will probably go there,can someone house me? I would arrive friday night and leaving monday

 

[Esports Initiative]

Tourney is strictly BYOC.

Sadly with the way we are handling preregistrations there is no way to remove your name, however we will be sending confirmation emails a week before so people have a chance to back out.

[Carls493]

If I were to also bring a Wii U with Gamecube controller adapters, would that be accepted?

As long as it can play Brawl and/or Project M with gamecube controllers, you are good
