Cool stuff. How early do you think I should get there to guarantee myself a place in the tournament? My work just said I have to work that Saturday 8-12 so if anything I'll have my friend hold my place in line.

First of all, I wouldn't count on having people be able to hold places in line.
I would come pretty early though.

Again, thanks for help guys.
And from the sound of it, it would be a good idea for me to come early.

The WPI Campus Center will be open 24 hours I think.
It normally is on the weekends, so thats probably gonna be where I hang out until a line starts forming.

Well, I can't say that the best rules were chosen for that, and I do believe that 4 player time matches are broken as hell, the GDC tried I guess. I had tired to get into the GDC for the sake of looking up standard tournament rules before hosting a tournament in any game, but that looks like it won't happen, even though I have been helping run tournaments in many games(DDR, Tekken, 3rd Strike, SSBM) for almost 4 years now.
And I think they turned off some stages. But random things like Yoshi's Island 64 were still on, and I ended up playing on Brinstar Depths. At least for the last few matches, we were allowed to set our own rules, which quickly turned into "4 stock no items good stage"
Yeah, I tried to get them to use tournament rules last year. I submitted a very detailed description of the MLG ruleset for them to look over. Long story short, they opted for a 4 person free for all tournament with all items and stages, 4 minute rounds.
Who's this impostor stealing my name? He must be dealt with...

Nick U I was wondering if you could house me and a couple of my friends for this tourney. My friend Nuro, Masta fritz the haitian, and me. Please get back to me thx.
My friend Trap is trying to set something up. I'll PM you his AIM.

I just fell for the trap
lulz, at least you spell it right
.also, i read an article that at the most recent tournament (the one in SF?), about 300 people showed up. So that might be an indication as to how early you should show up.
I'm thinking 3-5 hours early >_>
I need to know, is this tournament 18 and over? I know the ones in California were, but apparently the one in New York isn't according to this: http://gonintendo.com/?p=36359. So, does anyone know for sure whether or not it's 18 and over?
Edit: Nevermind, I finally found myself an answer. It is 18+.

I live in Taunton, I'll be leaving around 8:30am, and probably arrive at 10am. Can someone at WPI give insight into where I should be heading once I arrive? And also, does anyone think 10am is too late/early to show up? There's snow in the forecast for tomorrow morning, so that may slow things down a bit for people trying to arrive.
Looking forward to getting item'd.

I am going to take some pictures of the Campus Center leading up to the Tourney area and post them for people.
Think there'll be a decent setup just to watch some of the action? I haven't owned a nintendo console since the NES, so obviously I wouldn't be competative, but I just bought a wii solely for SSBB and I wanna get a feel for what the tourney scene will look like.
Should note, I live in Holden so I'm MAYBE 5 minutes away. Should let anyone know that is traveling from afar, we're looking at 6-8 inches of snow overnight. Plan accordingly!

YES! They canceled work for tomorrow so I will be able to make it. I too was wondering if it would be possible to just spectate. I haven't even played SSBM in maybe a year. I know if I enter I will probably be out in the first round haha.
And you mentioned the place that it's being held at will be open overnight so I can show up anytime? When will any of you guys be there. I will come anytime just to hang out, but I don't want to be the first one sitting around all lonely haha.
Anyways, my AIM is FuzionZero (the best way to talk to me. There are other ways in my profile) if anyone wants to chat.
My buddy doesn't know if he's coming so it's still undecided if I'm gonna go since I won't have anyone to hang out with, that I know of.
Talk to you guys later.

So what time are people planning on showing up to this thing? Anyone know what the turnout was like for the other tourneys? I heard 300 or so, and it allows 256, I imagine not all of those people showed up six hours before.... At least I hope not, I don't know if I can wait in line for six hours...

I AM NOT AN OFFICIAL SOURCE OF INFO
People are already there. They are supposed to start giving out armbands at like 3AM, and registration starts at 12 noon, but lines will be formed before then.

Assuming you'll be there and (hopefully) have internet access, could you please try to update us on the possibility of spectating once things start to get going? I understand you're not the ideal person to be asking questions, and by no means are you running the tourney, but it would be real helpful if you do find out!
Thanks again :>
