I think the most we can hope for is regional since it's only one day. 
Get off your boat for one day, we'll make it worth your while.

A regional is fine, also chibo has no worries about his rep if its a melee tournament lol. Melee players don't care that the brawlers ruined his tournament also melee doesn't' take 500 hours to finish.

well, word is he took 6 hours to do seeding?

the only way to have a quick and efficient brawl tournament is to do 1 stock matches. single elimination. ALL WARIOWARE. this way, it's fair and no one can complain about BS. (and you get to play minigames)

According to Chibo if the people who weren't in the bracket actually left at 10:00 like they were supposed to then the people still in the brackets wouldn't have been kicked out of the venue. If that happened then the tournament wouldn't have gone till 6 AM because we wouldn't have had to go to Chibo's to finish it

Smash Legend
nobody's saying chibo is ENTIRELY at fault, but if the tournament didn't start til 6 pm on day one, there's definitely something wrong

I mean....it was 300 people. I can let someone slide whos tryin to run a 300 man tourney. Obviously he was a bit unprepared, but its certainly not the first time a tourney has run late. I would say the majority of TOs wouldn't have done a better job than chibo did. I can think of a very small elite group of TOs that could have handled that size.
I have full confidence in chibo's abilities to run a 50 or even 100 man tourney. 300 is huge tho...thats like genesis huge.

Smash Legend
well, if we have different standards for "large", then it's just a misunderstanding

JFox you had to have been there man, the tourney was run awfully, only to have it not finish (which everyone saw coming, except the TOs for some reason), so they kicked everyone out into the cold. its not like there was a warning, or a previous message that let everyone know what was happening, it was just an immediate evacuation of 100+ people. people had TVs and setups in the venue, and if he kicked out the people who owned those setups, its not like the tourney wouldve ended much faster. also, lots of people traveled with people who hadn't been eliminated yet, so those people would've had to basically wait outside for god knows how long, and probably wouldve been kicked off school property which was what ultimately happened. not finishing the tourney, kicking us all out, and then saying its partially the brawlers fault the tourney didnt end? laughable.

I'd team with you. I liked teaming with Sensei, so I think super agressive Falcons are awesome.
PS Scar we should team at something now that I play Falco in teams.

what spammer said is right. i was trying to tell people this for about 40 or so minutes, but it was extremely hard to explain everything with no voice and the microphone system broke (and the backup i had (lol i tried to be prepared for that) wasnt compatible with the speaker system drexel gave me) and people just yelled back at me like the whole time. i was trying to get everyone into the lobby to manage it easier (who wasnt in the bracket), then if someone in the bracket still had a group of ppl with them or it was their ride in the lobby, they woulda been allowed back in. the other warning was when the smashboard thread said for months that it ended at 10pm lol. no johns on that part
also, the explaination for the 6 hour late start if ppl missed it b4 lol:
1. we had thought signups would take like 30-60 minutes. they took 90-120 minutes due to the volume of ppl
2. we had originally started entering ppl right into tio, but it was waaaay to slow to do that and the excel spreadsheet we were using (to keep track of every entrant and the money they paid to make sure payouts were right). it was taking too long to enter 2 peoples names into tio in singles, then switch to doubles, and enter their team in for almost 300 people. this is also without mentioning tons of ppl werent signing up at the same time as their teammate. many ppl planned teams with ppl out of their state, so they arrived at different times. i also had to worry about setting the correct amount paid the whole time, which is espeically annoying when half of a team pays.
3. we eventually had to open up 2 signup stations to move things along and tio wouldnt have been able to do that, and we could only use a second laptop with another excel sheet goin
4. then the last 4-5 hours was literally me sitting a table the whole time working on the laptop. i had to first merge the 2 excel sheets (didnt take long though), and go through each and every entrant, find their teammate, make sure both paid, and write them down. this was to make sure every team was properly signed up, and all money was collected (its easy to miss money at an event this large and im glad to say that with almost 300 ppl, not a single entrant to my knowledge got in without paying, and 100% of all money was accounted for which is very important to make sure payouts are at their highest). then with the handful of invalid teams i found i had to find both people and straighten things out. it was for reasons like someone signing up under their real name and their teammate saying his teammate by his gamertag, or some gamertags being mixed up (i remember one instance of a teammate entered as "soda" but the person signed up as "warm soda"). i also had to deal with refunds this whole time cause ppl were getting annoyed and some left. then i think i ate a sandwhich for lunch in like 2 min cause i hadnt eaten that day yet. then i put all the teams in tio, made the bracket, seeded, done deal. it takes a while lol.
i wasnt messin around, i was literally at a table for 5 hours straight working on a laptop lol
but yea, melee ppl bring more tvs, complain less, have quicker matches, are more mature, and are a crap load more awesome.

Chibo is pretty computer savvy every time I have comp questions I ask him and he usually knows. It was probably people being dumb about team names and team ates and all those issues and just the sheer amount of entrants. Either way I'm sure that no brawl host will ever host a big brawl tournament without pre regisration ever again ever.
I'd like to say that put in that position of having 300 brawlers show up with no pre reg and having the amount of hours span across 2 days no body would have probably done that much better than chibo did.
GGGGGGG REG. I saw that doubles set where you ***** the balls off scar and hax your still too good, come to the march 7th tournament. So i can **** you.

reik was so inconsistent. I remember I would almost lose a friendly vs his falco with marth on FD at a north jersey tourney then the VERY next game he'd only do like 12 damage the ENTIRE match it made no sense. His best was good though
