Fire codes. Also there's a whole "BYOC" section AKA friendlies section that we can put the TVs in lol...

TV's and GameCubes

I wonder if we'll be able to use those 20 TV's during downtimes for the Melee tournament. Like after Pools on Friday, after Quarters+Semis on Saturday, and anytime outside of Finals on Sunday. I'm assuming there won't be any people who want to bring over their PS3's and play their games in standard definition.
So, does this mean we'll have an official area to hold limited registration 2v2's or crew battles? Or would they just be more room for friendlies? OR does everyone have to move on from the area cuz of fire codes and the timing of the games was made to specifically avoid a large mass of people crowding around too many close areas?

Did Wizard confirm how many TVs can be put into the BYOC section? That'd be an important fact to know.
If there's only space for like 10 TVs then there is also no need to buy/bring more.

This lag talk is cute and all but the fact is unless you put a Framemeister (expensive!!) between your specially researched HD monitor/TV(I guess evo monitors in this case) and Wii/Gamecube/other 480p device via component (which still has around half a frame of lag at best) you're gonna get input lag.
Go CRTs/EDTVs!

do we have enough tv's? if so who else wants to try to coordinate people bringing tv's to the BYOC room for friendlies?

We do technically, Clowsui made the target higher than what Mr. Wizard said because Smashers tend to be flaky with TVs (which is 100% true). You can coordinate to bring setups for the BYOC though, but if it turns out we didn't meet the minimum amount of TVs needed for the pools we'll have to use whatever gets brought for the BYOC.

so 16/23 TVs and 16/27 gamecubes need to make it over according to the spreadsheet

I think the spreadsheet is excluding Toph's potential contribution; I heard he bought quite a few CRTs for EVO. (But he's only not on the spreadsheet because I think he didn't add himself or even knows of the spreadsheet).
There's going to at least be 11 TVs from Vegas players though.

we're obviously going to have enough TV's for the tournament itself
i'm just hoping there's enough of a surplus so we can get lots of setups in the BYOC area. 700 people waiting on 10 friendly TV's is not the moves.

I can bring 2 cubes, but only if Joey lets me into the Tournament! Joey help me!
Someone took my TV, which was used as the finals TV, claiming it was his. If you haven't already skipped town, I'm going to kindly ask that you return it, whoever you are.
