I'm actually very worried about the venue right now. I stopped into the school to talk to the people that let us use the tables/chairs and found that the room we normally use is under severe construction and is not available to be used. I have tried to contact the Student Life organization but so far they haven't gotten back to me. I think we can relocate to the cafeteria if worst comes to worst (it has a similar pillar setup and with tables and chairs). I have done this once before in the past, but I was told that the cafeteria is closed on the weekend so I'm not sure if we would even be able to get into that room. I'll keep everyone updated as I know more.

For the start time of P:M. I want to stagger it behind melee. So I'm thinking this:

Teams sign-ups around 12:00
P:M Teams starts- 1:30pm
Singles sign-ups around 3:30
P:M Singles starts- After melee pools (5:00)


I'll shout a bunch when I'm taking sign-ups. Also I'll probably recruit Vro to yell at people too.

If you'd rather do it at a different time let me know. I'm planning on being there all day so yeah.



Also I'm gonna write up a rule set and stage list. And post it here.

We had a pretty good stage list when we ran it before, the more big stages were CPs along with Story and Stadium 2. The rest were the Brawl neutrals

Rat, that schedule sounds good to me. I'm glad to hear that Vro's coming, I've heard a lot about his Ike!

With regards to the stage list, I think our previous stage list was fine with the exception of Hyrule Castle; it seemed exceedingly big and campy to me. It was really fun for nostalgia's sake, but I don't think it should be tourney-legal. What do you guys think?

Also for doubles, we could turn on Dracula's Castle and SSE: Jungle (that's a really old build, but I was too lazy to look for a recent video of that stage).

According to the PMBR, that's the result of a Brawl mechanic meant to prevent infinites. They haven't been able to take it out yet.

I feel like Castlevania is too big to be a starter, but that's just my opinion. If you wanted to put it there to make the # of starting stages odd, you can also take out Yoshi's Story. As far as counterpicks go, I think we also used Delfino in the last tournament. SSE: Jungle was intended by the PMBR to be a Doubles Stage, I think it's too big for Singles. I think the rest of the stages look good though.

I am giving the green light to the tourney: I went to CoD and the cafeteria had people in it and the doors open at 9pm even though the sign said it was "closed" starting at 2pm. In the past, the doors have been open on the weekends and I think I saw the old DnD guys in there yest when i was there, which I take as a good sign. I have an absolute backup plan if worst comes to worst (plan Z): I can call in a few favors and get some folding tables and set them up in my driveway/parking lot. Basically, I have like 3 backup plans with one that pretty much cant fail. I'm expecting 95% chance we can use the cafeteria, but I want the travelers to know the tourney will happen, 100%.

Making Yoshi's and Castlevania cp seems ok. It keeps a balanced number of large and small stage sizes. Also i'd rather demote FD to cp than either of those. (probably gonna keep the starter stages the same. I'd like to see how people do with these.)

I'm not sure about Delfino. I love the stage but it has big moments of jank. Like the plaza sections with walk off edges and the island.


@Zwarm
I've got demo v2.1???
