That's 56 entrants.

So that would make it 8pm GMT? Sounds good ^^.

Nice! 3:00 in EST. Great

Hmm sorry for asking but what would be the time for Arizona? ,:3

You fail at your own timezone.

That would be 1:00 PM Mountain Time.

Oh gosh. That would be 12 midnight my time :0

Should be 8 PM for me, if I see that correctly...

Will I have to add all the participants to my friend list until tomorrow or will we do that tomorrow?
I believe I missed something...

That's good, I'm GMT. I'm completely available.
But the question remains, however. How do we battle? Do we exchange Friend Codes first?

So How are we going to do the Friend Codes?


Click here to level up my card!

I think thats 2pm my time but I'm not sure.

I'm still shocked that my 10 year old cousin beat me yesterday. TWICE. Not to make exuses, but people kept walking infront of the screen, there was extremly loud music, I was tired and I had my other cousin asking for her turn...
I need to find more peaceful places to play...

I still can't decide wether (?) to use Ness or Lucas...

For the Friend Codes, do this, to keep people from asking:
On your profile, on "About Me" tab, you'll see a bunch of fields, including ones for FCs for common games (plus two more of your choosing). Fill in the SSBB field with your Brawl code to keep people from bugging you.

After someone receives friend codes from the other 57 participants, they can post a list. That would make it easier for everyone

I won't add the friend codes of all other participants. Simply, I will be adding the FCs of the people whom I am going to Brawl against.

Adding before each battle should work.

So the winner of each match of four people go through?

That makes it 3 rounds right? with a final single winner?

When will we know who we are fighting against?

I'm guessing it is tomorrow. Why?
Because it is when the tournament starts.

It'd be easier if we knew today already... Anyway, that won't be that much of a problem, I think...

Are there any people who can record the matches in a decent quality? I have no capture card, but it'd be nice if at least some of the matches can be recorded. Just curious...

Oh, by the way, please don't tell me you intend on finishing the tournament off during a single day.
Because I think this would create confusion.

How long will the tourney last? 5-6 hours?

Get it closer!

Or you can use a DSi, if you have one.

The reason we had a quick tournament last time was because we had so many no shows... We might not get all 58 people tomorrow. We'll probably get half as much.

I can't tell what time it would be for the central timezone can someone help me?

Really now?

It's less then 24 hours until the tourney and we still barely have any information. What's up?

Perhaps this started a little to suddenly...or we didn't prepare for it in advance enough.

Buizel456 was meant to be organising this -_-"
I haven't seen him for a while though! Maybe someone else should put it together.
EDIT: He just sent me a friend request! Ninja!

If it's really gonna be tomorrow I most likely can't join, because my Wii is still somewhere in a truck heading for repair/in the midst of repairs.

Ok if I did it right I'm going to be on at... 9 P.M. I hope I did it right...

Wait how do we know who we fight?

The brackets should be up soon.

Ah... well I didn't think of this.

I can't get the converter to work...
But I'm EST and I saw in this thread that it's 3:00
I hope that's right...

Hmm... Too bad my friend isn't participating. He's really good. But knowing everyone on here, he could suck and I wouldn't stand a chance....

Well your nice!

I did not realize it was tomorrow. Where are the brackets?

Buizel should be working on them right now.

the tourny is tomorrow, and we have no brackets. there's organization! how many of the people signed up do you think will show up?

Less than half of the bidoofs, I think will show.

so if there's 58, then it'll be about...25? I'm guessing.

I said bidoofs not below 50 posts.

I still think it will be around that number. A lot of people don't show up to these things. How many people were at the PBR tourny?

PBR/DS..... over half.

well, we'll see tomorrow. Still, more people = more people to die at my hands.

Cat333Pokemon just told me that Buizel456 is working on the brackets, so you all need not worry about it.
Also, even if the tournament gets postponed by a day or two (and I really doubt that), it's not the end of the world. It's not like it's a professional-sort of a tournament.
Therefore, relax everyone; I am sure nothing will go wrong.

Is he using some program for the brackets? If not, you could ask a friend or two of mine about theirs. They're Hawaii's SSBB TOs, though technically it's just darkmusician. You might know about him if you looked around a bit on YouTube or smashboards. I don't know how this tourney works or how extensive their program is, though. If we're doing single/double elimination brackets then it's definitely fine, but I'm really not too sure about FFAs in brackets...it should work. :/

Also, late info is probably very late. If I'm guessing correctly, it starts in six or seven hours?

Yep, 7 hours to go. Buizel said in the chat yesterday that he's work on the brackets after playing with his annoying cousin xD
We will get them before the tournament, hopefully with enough time to get friend codes ready.

Okay, that's good, then. I can only hope my connection keeps up. Played with my cousin who's in Connecticut, and it honestly wasn't that bad, but that was just the two of us. D:

Guys i can't play today

That takes us down to 56. Oh well, the tournament will be over quicker (which may be helpful for some).
A few days ago I was fighting GuitarHeroPhenom (y'know... Guitar Hero world records?) on Brawl, and either I suck or he kicks butt! The only time I won was because of lag...

We could always do a quick match after I wake up to see. WiFi warm-ups first, though! (yeah, I'm johning before it happens =w. But y'know, it's okay. The lag between input and action is much more painful than, say, Starcraft's. I'd know =w=

At least the lag probably won't be as bad as one random group I was in...
It took about 30 sec for 10 sec of the match to go by...

Wait, was Brawl's Wi-Fi down yesterday? I kept getting the same error message and when I searched it up, it told me that their servers were offline...


This is Shadow. Please refrain from double posting, as it is against the rules.

I' ve been getting many mixed messages about the time of the Brawl. I really want to participate in it, so could someone please tell me what the time of it is.

TurtwigX:

The tournament is Saturday, January 2, 2010 at Noon PDT.

so it's 12:00 PDT. You'll have to find out what time that is for you

I might not be able to participate (sadly again) because my dads girlfriend is gonna be hogging the TV.

The scheduled time is 3 and a half hours (give or taje 5 mins) from the time of this post. Assuming your profile is set to your time zone it should say the time of mt post above and you can do the math.

I am still currently in, I will post if for whatever reason I can't continue.

Well, it's less than 3 hours no, I'm starting to get a bit impatient by now...

Sorry guys, but the brackets should really be online by now

Patience, my dear fellow. I am sure they will be up sooner or later.
Anyways, seeing as how it will, seemingly, take most of my night, I think I'll be getting a short nap before the tourney starts.
Not sure though...

What, are you in the tourney? Connecting to India is gonna lag like hell.

Connecting to Louisiana is probably gonna lag even more...

Again, EVERYBODY PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH THE BRACKETS! WHEN THE TOURNAMENT STARTS YOU WILL KNOW WHO YOU ARE BATTLING AGAINST!

Well, I'm gonna warm up in the mean time. I actually haven't played in months

Me too. Only a couple of hours to train

lol more like an hour

The Brawl servers seem to be down at the moment. And STILL NO BRACKETS!

Wait according to the time, the tournaments in like 2 hours?

I mean IF its not canceled?

So many problems with this Tournament...
