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.
-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.
