This will be my first tournament , Good luck to all : ) I signed up and I'm teaming up with my brother on the same Wii U . Is he automatically on my team now that I signed up ? Or does he need to create a separate account ?

Thanks for joining!

You only need one Challonge account, so you are fine. When the tournament starts, you'll give your NNID to your opponent(s) on my Twitch channel and you'll add each other as friends then set up a room. You'll make/join the room with 2 players.

All he has to do is get ready to fight.

Cool im in
Awesome!

I wish I could enter, unfortunately I'll be busy on Thursday, but if you did this again, if I'm not busy, then I'd really love to enter. Also, would there be any prizes?

If there is a lot of interest, I will host it this every week. I don't plan on offering physical prizes but that could change in the future.

That'd be awesome, Thursday nights are really not the best for me right now, but whenever I get a day off it'd be awesome. And ok, I'd be fine with no prizes anyway, do you plan on doing Jack of all Trades again anytime soon? I wanted to do it saturday, but then it was canceled.

Sorry about that Torterra, but I am going to start doing "Jack of All Trades" bi-weekly now. We only had 5 people sign up last week (which is my fault for putting it on Valentine's Day) but it was clear that some of the "core" players were getting a little tired of being certain characters again and again. So I am trying not to overdo the tournament too much and maybe change the characters bans from 2 to 5. I need a week to think about it.

On another note, a guy on reddit is looking for a teammate. Respond to this if you are interested, or tell him on reddit: (http://www.reddit.com/r/SmashConnec...online_thursday_night_doubles_tournament_219/)

Ok, well please let me know then when you figure out the rules, I had wanted to join it before, but I was busy, because I think it's for sure a good idea. And no thank you on that, I have a friend I'd enter with, or a brother, thanks for the offer though.

Anybody still looking for a partner? I'm sure we'll find you someone, so don't worry about it.

As a reminder to everyone: Remember to check in on Challonge before the start of the tournament at 7 pm!

Let's say that I signed up using my Challonge account. If my brother, who also has an account of his own, played with me, how will this tournament show up in his account record?

With so many teams signed up, are you leaning towards setting up an IRC?

Yeah, I actually am. I'll get that set up some time today.

It won't. I'm not sure why it matters, but you can edit your name in the bracket to have his and yours. It won't count in the "official Challonge account record" but you can still have it for bragging rights.

I added a link to an IRC chat. Could someone verify that the link works for them? Thanks.
