Itll probably be finished after HOBO 11 or my doubles tourney so that we get some more accurate results from these newcomers. PS, come to my doubles tourney.
El Paso is discussing about going to HOBO 11 but we/actually me Are having $$$ issues. To Austin itself its an 8 hour drive. If we don't go to HOBO i guess we can make it for yours BUT we got players that would want to do singles. Like they wouldn't just travel for a 2 v 2 tourney. :ohwell:

It's not just a regular 2 v 2 tourney. It's using Swiss so it'll be much more competitive and for the average person it guarantees them far more rounds than a DE bracket. In fact, it even guarantees them more rounds for one 2 v 2 tourney than it does for a DE singles and doubles bracket combined. We've also got some sick MMs going down.

Dude I am down like James Brown. Ganon / Falcon matches are what make Brawl worth it.

To everyone else, come to the doubles tourney at the D-Pad on October 18th. The date has been changed. 2 v 2 Swiss system with money match stations set up. Come make Smash history as we push 2 v 2 into the limelight and try out the sexy Swiss system (DE is dumb). All of TX's best will be there.

We've already got two big MMs going. Me vs Hylian for $100 and me vs Fogo for $100. Come attend and add your featured MM to the list and get it put on a Youtube channel with thousands of subscribers.

It uses points instead of elimination. The players with the most points in the end move on to an elimination bracket. This allows for more people to play more times and, at the end of the day, tests skill more than luck and allows for "oops" type things to happen.

Of course, this is all theory. Actual practice may be completely different with Smash, since in Smash you make your own luck.

In Swiss, first round is completely random. If you win, you get 1 point if you lose you get 0 points. Every round after the first, players only play against others with the same amount of points. It matches people up with others of comparable skill level, it gives a better representation of skill, it CAN be faster (if you have enough setups), and it guarantees everyone gets to play more rounds (in my tourney's case, 5 or 6). Then the top players with the most points are seeded into a DE bracket for championship matches.

It's so much more awesome than DE that Swiss women will pop out and give you sexy time while you play.

It won't effect the list that much. We are still trying to get a new list up currently.

Ugh, I don't know how the hell I'm ever going to even graze the list if I perform like I did at the tournament...
Hell, at least I didn't SD this time...but the MKs. MK makes me want to cry in my sleep.

I am interested in who will be on the list after it's updated, so I know who to aim for when I play them...

Yes you have, you deserve a cookie from DMG. I'll be spot dodging though, so there's no way in hell you will get it from me. :p

He's taking the top 3 spots!?
That's hella imba!
MK should be banned then!
He's not taking the top 3 spots, actually he might not even have a single spot in the top 3, but we will see when they post the list. I have a fairly good idea where a few people will be, but I am a bit surprised the list wasn't ready by around Lee's tourney. It's probably hard getting a hold of Dr. Drew though, don't know how often he checks stuff.

I'm online way too much. The hard part is getting everyone else motivated.
