aw why'd you have to change the brawl schedule.

I agree that we need more brawl setups.

This deserves another post. Here's the new schedule I've worked out. Tell me if this is at all unreasonable, or any objections you have. I think it should work out, so long as people are willing to get there early. This is our only alternative to running events side-by-side, so if this schedule is impossible, we're going to have to go back to the other one which involved running Melee and Brawl events at the same time. Time constraints are difficult here, considering we only have one day. I mean, I'd love to rent the venue out on sunday too, but I didn't think it would be this big, and it's short notice at this point anyway, so we've got to make do with this.

We have the venue for 14 hours, making this the longest 1-day venue tournament probably ever. I'm sure we'll be able to fit things in. On that note, this is shaping up to be one of the biggest 1-day tournaments. Next time I'm gonna have to do an all-weekend thing in a MUCH bigger venue XD. Anyway, I know this schedule might look optimistic, but we're improving on all our faults last time, so we're going to try our best to get this done.

-10:00: Setup/Friendlies. Don't come at 10:00 expecting to play immediately.
-10:50: Brawl Singles signups begin.
-11:00: Signups end, Singles pools begin. During this time, Melee players may play friendlies or money matches on spare TVs. However, we will need as many TVs as there are Brawl setups.
-01:00: By this time, I expect Brawl pools should be finished. There aren't that many Brawlers this time around, so I don't expect it to take too long. If it ends earlier than this, then we'll start other things early.
-01:05: We will need some time to go over the data from pools and create brackets. At this time, a seeded 32-man bracket will be created.
-03:00: Brawl singles brackets SHOULD be done by now. We will start doubles signups before this. At this point, the doubles brackets will begin. Basically whenever brackets end.
-04:40: Melee Singles signups begin. We'll need time to create the pools.
-05:00: Brawl doubles brackets should be finished by this point, so we will need to switch the setups and start Melee singles right away. During this time, Brawlers may play friendlies, since there will be no more Brawl events for the evening.
-07:10: Melee pools should be finished by now, so long as people are punctual and play their matches. At this point, we will create a seeded 32-man bracket.
-07:20: Melee singles brackets will begin.
-09:20: Brackets should be finished by now, so we will start doubles signups immediately, and create a seeded bracket. Pools takes too long, sorry.
-09:30: Melee doubles brackets will begin.
-11:00: Doubles should be finished. I'm leaving some time for things to run overboard, but it should be fine. If absolutely necessary, the last few matches can be finished at my house. However, I don't imagine everything can take too long.
-11:45: At this point, I'd like to ask everyone to lend a hand in cleaning the place up. Even 5 minutes would be a huge help. Things that would need to be done: putting away tables and setups, carrying TVs to cars or whatever, and vacuuming/mopping necessary parts, but I'll probably take care of those two. We have to be out of the venue at midnight.
-12:00 - ?: Smashfest/funtimes at my house! Which is like a minute away from the venue. Feel free to bring setups (I will only have 3 TVs that can be used for playing; I have a big LCD one but it lags). Be aware that I have cats and dogs, so if you don't like them then take necessary precautions. We will have food. Anyone can come. My house is smallish though, so I can't have everyone going.
lol one more suggestion (i swear im not trying to run your tourney lol)

put doubles before singles

usually in the past doubles tends to have half the amount of people that do singles when singles are first because they either
1.) are too tired from playing singles and decide to go home
2.) just want to do singles only

putting doubles first kind of forces these people to enter the doubles tournament and will also stay for singles. Also the singles tournament usually runs longer and with less people to deal with cause they leave after they are defeated.

ive been to a lot of tournies where singles was first and doubles never happened

again just a suggestion lol

lol dude, don't worry; I know you've been around a lot longer than me. You're one of the people I'd take advice from gladly. Besides, it's a good suggestion. thanks for pointing that out. I'll edit that post and leave it up so people can look at it.

PS. To everyone: I'd like to get a list of people who are coming to the smashfest afterwards. I'm assuming everyone I'm housing is coming, plus Eric because he already said so. Anyone else? I've probably forgotten people :(

PPS. To Americans coming to this: can you tell me how you're getting here? like, do I need to pick you up, and if so from where? I'd just like to know everything we need to do so I can make some sort of schedule for friday. Thanks :)

I also believe you should give more than 10 minutes for registration, just start the registration earlier so you don't have to push back start times. It gives people more of an incentive to show up earlier/on time.

BRING BRAWL SETUPS, SERIOUSLY

Good idea, actually.

Thanks to everyone for helping out with this :)

EDIT: Here's a repost of the schedule we've worked out, so everyone should have a look at it.

-10:00: Setup/Friendlies. Don't come at 10:00 expecting to play immediately.
-10:30: Brawl Teams signups begin.
-11:00: Signups end, Teams brackets begin. During this time, Melee players may play friendlies or money matches on spare TVs. However, we will need as many
TVs as there are Brawl setups.
-12:30: Brawl Singles signups begins.
-01:00: By this time, I expect Brawl Teams should be finished. There aren't that many Brawlers this time around, so I don't expect it to take too long. If it ends earlier
than this, then we'll start other things early.
-01:00: Brawl singles pools begins.
-03:00: Brawl singles pools SHOULD be done by now. We will start creating the brackets after this.
-04:30: Melee Teams signups begin.
-05:00: Brawl singles brackets should be finished by this point, so we will need to switch the setups and start Melee singles right away. During this time, Brawlers may
play friendlies, since there will be no more Brawl events for the evening.
-06:30: Melee singles signups begins. Starting a little earlier because creating pools while running a tournament takes us some time.
-07:00: Melee teams should be finished by now, so Melee singles pools will begin.
-08:55: Pools should be finished by now, so long as people are punctual and play their matches. We will need time to go over the results and create a seeded bracket.
-09:00: Melee singles brackets will begin.
-11:00: Singles should be finished. I'm leaving some time for things to run overboard, but it should be fine. If absolutely necessary, the last few matches can be finished at my house. However, I don't imagine everything can take too long.

Why is that so ****ing complicated?

Should be this:

Melee doubles
melee singles

brawl doubles
brawl singles

and that's that. easiest and best proven format, why did you write so much? i don't like how the tournament is looking when it's organized all silly like.

Mmmmblah no. He can arrange it however, lol. I know he's taking (and has implemented) suggestions, but why fix what doesn't need fixing? -_-

He writes because he has the time to, why does that even matter? And too organized? Geez, get off your high horse of disorganization! ;P

Doing these four events with this turnout is going to be impossible unless there is a TV for every 2 people. Esp if brawl is first.

I dunno, we've done it before with 80-90 people and had quite a bit of time to spare (without pools). We're doing it with pools this time though. If it seems like it's taking too long for the initial tourney, brawl singles, doubles or whatever, we could just cut pools for everything else.

The tourney will be completed within the timeframe ;D

Edit: GRMO, I'll bring powerbars. Probably like 4-5. I don't have extension cords though.

ZZOMG SOMEONE HELP US WITH EXTENSION CORDS PLoX

I'll probably bring two-three T.V.s and two systems. Whoever has gamecube coaxial adapters, bring them. I have one but I need a second one pl0x.

Also, I need to know some hard facts.

WHO IS BEING HOUSED BY ME? Names please.

The List (Add yourself)
- I.B.
- RaynEX
- Adnanface
- Sylar
- Sako
- Others
If you're not on the list, I am not expecting you. If I'm not expecting you, you will not be let in.

Things to note:

* Housing will be provided for the Friday and Saturday of.
* Do not show up at that door before 7:00 PM. No excuses.
* Bring sleeping bags, I only have couch space for... 6 people.
* Clean up after yourself, don't make a big mess and please try not to be overly loud!
* You will be expected to leave early morning Sunday, preferably before 11-12 PM. No excuses.
* I will not be assisting people in their departures, directions excluded (i.e., drives to bus stations)
* I have a mentally disabled (see: ********) brother. I'll keep him out of the basement, but be warned.
** If you have a problem with gay people, find somewhere else to stay. I don't want to feel uncomfortable under my own roof.



I can house quite a bit of people, so if you have no where to stay... look no further. Just be sure to follow the rules, and lastly, have a good time!

i'll bring a power bar and a wii...could be used for melee or brawl, but if i can help it, its use as a melee setup gets priority.

however, someone still has my melee disc. so either, someone has to bring an extra melee disc, my friend needs to let me continue borrowing his, or whoever has it from last weekend needs to get it back to me sometime next week. i consider it likely one of those three options will be filled.

It appears that you have entered SRTM into the attendees list as STRM.

I just happened to notice this while reviewing the attendees list (>90!!!).

Just so there's no doubt,
Heheh, btw, 'sup SRTM. =D I have random thoughts of playing doubles. You wanna go?


Also, likelihood is increasing I can bring a Brawl setup.
I could have maybe brought a GC but it looks like there's enough of those?
