Alright guys, tourneys here have not really worked out well in the past.
So here is what I'm proposing to you.
We can run this one of two ways-
1. Experimental Brawl Item Tourney
2. Standard No item Tourney
You decide, choose your preference when you post.
Because I know some people are against "tourney fags." :P
What we will do is find out how many people plan to attend the sleepover, and of them how many would like to Brawl. Should this tourney not work, I can also set up a CoD tourney as well.
Now, please sign up and plan on playing for about 1 to 1:30 hours starting at 10:00pm EST.
I'll post more about the rules and how it will all go down after we get people signed up. But please, if you say you'll be there, you really need to show up. I can deal with less people, but I can't deal with no-shows.
PLAYERS-
HTA
Javert
SSBBrawlin
Kilroy
Dr. Hobo2
Cogs
Beans
Qsmashbro

JOINING THIS SHIT
Also, items.
What day would this happen?
You can expect to see me there.
It's been a while since we last held a smash tourney.
But do we really need to decide on items?
All they ever do is get in the way of matches.
*Thinks back to all the random Bob-omb appearances that caused SDs*
1. The day of the sleepover. So this Friday.
2. The items that will be used are picked to add depth but not cause cheap kills.
3. Just vote on what you want and the majority will decide.
Sounds good.
I look forward to this.
"10 PM". What timezone? If it's Eastern, then it might just work for me.
I forgot to check what timezone Kilroy is in, but I am in EST.
I'm western.

Put the time zone in the first post, then. It'll make it easier. I'll try to play in this tourney.
Also, I vote for no items.
I forgot a lot of our Brawlers will be in different timezones...
For a 10 o'clock EST starting time it would be 7 o'clock WST.
Is that a problem with anyone.
I personally will play whenever possible, because I'll stay up all night.
However, it would also help if you guys posted your desired start time and your time zone.
Some compromise will be reached.
I can even design the bracket differently if need be... just give me some feedback guys.
Earlier is better for me, so 7 Pacific is perfect.
I'm in. Just have to get my Wii back from my parents. :|
I'll join too despite the fact that it's been forever since I last played...

Kilroy is EST.
But yeah, I'll be joining this. I'd rather have no items, but either way works for me.
And I'm EST, too. 10pm and later would be fine for me.
I'll join I guess. I don't think I'm doing anything that night.
So, um, what items would be used? I looked up a list, and thought these seem okay:
Beam Sword
Fan
Fire Flower
All forms of food/heart container
Bat
Mr. Saturn
Pokeball
Ray Gun
Star Rod
Assist Trophy
Bumper
Hotheads
Pitfalls
Smash Balls
Soccer Ball
Superspicy Curry
Basically, no explosives or things that can explode. Those are the main causes of "cheap kills", in my opinion.
Yeah Hector.
7pm western time is perfect.
Everyone that's joining this needs to be certain that they can make it.
Because we've had something like this before in the past, and lots of people never showed up or changed their minds at the last minute.
And I know how much of a nuisance that can become.
@Kilroy: Why healing items?
Why not just have offensive weapons?
Also, Hector said items that prevent cheap kills.
Pokeballs, Soccer Balls and AS's count toward that.
Food is fine, but Tomatos and Heart Containers are a big no. At least with a sword or a bat you have to have some minor intelligence to use it and hurt your opponent. With a healing item you could be at 140% and then a heart spawns right next to you. That's practically a whole new stock.
Also a fan is a guaranteed 0-death in brawl.
I hadn't noticed that the fan was in.
Should the Bumper also stay in?
Considering that it can still be deadly at 0 or low damage.
Also, add in the Party Ball and Banana Peels.
Actually, instead of arguing what items should be used and not, (assuming the vote rules in favor of items, which is currently not the case) we should use the items used in Item Standard Play (http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=164675) tournaments.
(Sandbag) (Food) (Warp Star) (Bunny Hood) (Beam Sword) (Lip?s Stick) (Star Rod) (Super Scope) (Fire Flower) (Motion Sensor Bomb) (Freezie) (Smoke Ball) (Pitfall) (Mr. Saturn) (Green Shell) (Banana Peel) (Franklin Badge) (Screw Attack) on medium.
I second Dawei's notion...And I also vote for there to actually be items.
I guess I'll be in this too.
Standard tourney items do sound a little smarter.
This should also include stages.
Oh yeah, I say yes to Items. This is suppose to be a fun little tournament, so make it fun
I guess I'm in. I want to play as well.
Dawei lives in the same time zone as me, so I have the time already.

Should this tourney not work, I can also set up a CoD tourney as well.
Setup for CoD tourney? My SSB online doesn't work.
Setup the CoD tournament anyways, but make it small teams. 1 Vs. 1 is a piece of crap since it's so easy to find out where the person spawns after you kill them once.
CoD was going to be small team Domination.
3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4.
But I'm not sure if I can run both.
Or if we'll have enough players.
I'll play, I guess. If the whole 10:00 thing is eastern.

Yes, 10 PM Eastern
So us westerns have until 7pm to be ready.
Alright kiddies, sign ups end after today.
The tourney will be Singles ISP (Items)
I will not allow counterpick items and will not let people ban items because we don't have that kind of time or patience.
I'll put the list for what items will be used later today or tomorrow.
All sets will be best out of 3, each game 3-stock with an 8 minute timer.
-MK's IDC will be banned.
-Character swapping between matches does not have to be announced.
-Everyone will meet for the tourney in IRC. Either #nsider or #brawl.
-You must show up at 10 PM Eastern Time (7 PM Western) in the chat and be ready for your matches.
-If you have some trouble getting there on time, your match will be postponed for no longer than 30 minutes. Any longer and it is a forfeit.
-All stages except banned stages are acceptable starters, 1st match is random between the 2 players, second is counterpick by the loser (so, you need to meet in the chat, or decide your counterpicks beforehand) 3rd match if needed is picked by loser of match 2.
-If there is lag, try to play through it as best you can. If the lag is unbearable, and no matches have been decided,I will either make changes to the bracket or decide by way of rock paper scissors. (You do it in chat by making two private channels. :P)
-Finals are best of 5 will all rules stated above.
-Come ready to play and don;t let NSFCD down!
