Twilight of Smash 2! Nov. 4; Ottawa, ON, Canada

[Lanowen]

I have more. :D

 

[Fogel]

whoa whoa whoa, don't make the pools just yet! some people still aren't sure in mtl. =/ (nox, apoc, etc.). Plus I'm making advertising on gamefaqs, and some dude answered. Also, someone should post the info on a wall at Ottawa U arcade.

EDIT: I like the 5 minute rule. very mlg like. I would like you to enforce the rule, no matter who it is. I remember at OC2 when they called out captain jack for like 15 minutes. If it was a random smasher, that wouldn't have happened. =/

Just because I'd be making the pools this weekend doesn't mean that others can't register later. People who register after I've made the pools would just be added to a pool manually at ToS2.

5 minute rule: I'll need help enforcing it in pools. I haven't decided if I'm going to play in singles yet personally, but if I do, I'm going to have to assign a captain to each of the other pools to handle results/enforcing rules since I wouldn't be able to take care of each pool myself.

EDIT: Fogel, I have to tell you again not to rely on my TV's. It's a lot of effort bringing a fricken TV to the tourney, and if I don't get extra people to help me carry stuff, I can't do ****. Jarc's going to Ottawa on Friday with no exceptions, so that reduces my chance of bringing 2.

I'm not saying it's a given to slash one of mine, but it's a big possibility =/

I'll keep them in the list for now. Don't forget, I've offered to pick you up from the bus station Saturday morning...

Since they're will be at least one good player in each of the pools it won't much of a hassle to find someone to back up your pool for each pool

It's not really skill level I'm worried about, it's having someone in each pool that knows how pools work and can fill out the results correctly.

Twilight of Smash 2 - Preliminary event schedule


12:00 - 12:45 Setup/Friendlies/Doubles and Singles registration
12:45 - 4:15 Doubles
4:15 - 4:30 Break/Friendlies/Last-minute Singles registration
4:30 - 7:00 Singles Pools
7:00 - 7:45 Break/Friendlies/Supper
7:45 - 9:00 Singles Top 8 Tournament





If anyone actually cares about how I came up with these time estimates, let me know.

Pools aren't done yet, but I was wondering: do people actually want to see them ahead of time (ie: I post them here), or would you rather be surprised about who you'll have to play against?

 

[chesterr01]

If we enforce the 5 minute DQ rule, we'll get doubles done way faster.

post the pools? yes.

 

[Dice]

post pools please

Also if I can request myself and Navo not be in the same pool since like he's my brother and stuff

 

[Shuriken]

OKAY sign up me and Tect as TEAM DUFFMAN

 

[vexed69]

lol goomba

 

[Scintillatedseed]

Oh man, TOS2 is coming up soon. I may be able to make this one, I just gotta confirm some details.

 

[TelpeFion]

Good luck if you're going! This applies to everyone who met me in August.

 

[Lanowen]

Wewt, are you going too?

 

[TelpeFion]

I am most definitely not going, if you were talking to me...

 

[Scintillatedseed]

Haha, nice of you to encourage us all the way from Finland. Thanks buddy. I wanna make this, but we'll see how things go.

 

[Vwins]

A few words for you Test Rider :

Pichu, up smash, Jigglypuff dead at 65 %.

or again,

Fox, up smash, Jigglypuff dead at 85 %.

Your lucky you're a turtle player, or else you'd be Jiggles would die more often than you think.

lol find this noob post from chet

 

[chesterr01]

I guess quoting post from early 2004 can be funny for the simple minded.

I guess that makes me simple minded because I chuckled.

NOTE: You can still register for singles even though pools have been made, so if you haven't registered yet don't freak out! New singles participants will be added to a pool at ToS2.

[Vwins]

[Fogel]

very balanced pools.

Thanks for the comment, I wrote the pools program myself so I appreciate it!

 

[Lanowen]

*cry*

i...i mean WINDMILL OF FURY!~~

 

[Vwins]

second round pools will offer a really good challenge. this tournement gonna be awsome

 

[Locke)]

Top 4. Do it.

 

[Jih]

IM WITH PKM WOOT :bigthumbu

edit : me and vwins was wondering if the brackets are gona be best out of 5. thx in advance for the awnser fogel.

 

[pkmvodka]

GO dice and jih!

 

[Fogel]

Ok, some comments:

- You play against everyone else in your pool for one match. Matches for pools are best 2/3. There will be sheets of paper to record match results, just like FC6.

- There will only be one round of pools, we don't have the time to do two rounds.

- Since we only have time for a top 8 tourney, only the top 2 placers from each pool will advance. We can not go over the time we have for the room, since we don't have a room key this time. IF time permits, we MAY be able to do top 16 instead. Finish your doubles and pool matches as quickly as possible if you want to have enough time left to do top 16.

If you're wondering, a double-elim tournament with 16 people actually takes about 3 times longer than an 8 person tournament.

edit for Jih: I don't think we'll have time to do all the bracket matches best of 5. Winners and Losers finals will be best of 5, the rest will be best 2/3.

 

[Locke)]

I think the doubles time is very overestimated. If we enforce the 5 minute rule it should flow very smoothly/quicker.

 

[Vwins]

wow i really dont like the idea to make advance only 2 people per pool so I hope we will find time to make at least a 16 bracket.

 

[Jih]

yea i understand the 3/5 on brackets would be too long

but there must be AT LEAST 2 rounds of pool OR a 16 man brackets

go mitch and jason!!


btw i know its a bit too late to call it but ... do any1 is gona record with vcr ?? i would record everything else execpt finals

 

[Dice]

im' bringing a VCR to record, but it might take me a while until all videos are up since I"m really busy with school

 

[Jih]

alright nice job coach

maybe some1 can take the tappes and upload them for you?
either way nice job

 

[ThatGuy]

OMG I'm so screwed in my pool XD

Vwins, GPWN!, Rimi, H4, you guys are goin' DOWN!

 

[Jarc]

I'm bringing mine. We should just plug 'em into a random TV and record all day long, making sure that some important matches are played on them. That way we can upload as many decent matches as possible. I can upload my vids likely by monday or tuesday.

Don't forget Navo, his samus is gonna mess you up!

Way to redux my post. ¬_¬

and O_o at pools with the 8 man brackets? scary. I might not pass my pool. Actually a lot of people who regularly place high might not pass their pool. OH THE EXCITEMENT!

 

[ThatGuy]

Don't forget Navo, his samus is gonna mess you up!

I refuse to believe that some noob that plays Samus will "mess me up". 'Nuff said.

That "noob that plays samus" is my younger brother, and watching him go almost even with locke, rimi and myself makes me think differently than you
