[Cola]

I'm in. Toss me onto the roster, Ed.

[Soniman]

Count me in.

[Joshua]

Yeah, count me in for this. Friend Code is 3094-1282-9792

Wait, do we really need to provide picture evidence for this? I have no Photobucket or Imageshack account and don't really want to set one up. Wouldn't each player's word be enough?

I could save the replay of the match (it's the only hack I have on Brawl, aside from music and stage color hacks) and send the file to any of the judges if that would could work.

[FlameKoetsu]

You can put pictures on Tinypic without making an account. Count me in also, 0431-0016-9412

[Jix Hedgehog]

Sounds fun
Please clarify rules 4 & 7 and Limiting rules/bans 3

Also - stages random?

[Joshua]

Ah. OK. No issue then.

You may want to elaborate that "All Items Off" rule, and change it to "Items set to Off and None." Otherwise, King Dedede would have a chance to throw capsules and acquire Dragoon Pieces every time he uses his Waddle Dee Toss.

[Reggie Fils-Aime]

I'm in, and my FC is on meh profile.

[Kamicciolo]

Sounds fun

Also - stages random?

While I'm not entirely sure what Double Elimination is (so I'm just move onto the next and pretend you don't notice :V), Rule #7 Guarantees that the esteemed judges of this fine tournament (with me being the most estemeed~) will be given free hats to wear that signafies their judge rank and estemeed-ness~.

Limiting/Banned Rule #3 refers to the glitch with Meta Knight's Dimensional Cape move, where if the C-stick is held when the move is used Meta Knight will remain invisible (and essentially untouchable). It tends to be used as a stalling tactic, drawing the fight out far longer (more use in a Time Match honestly, but still would effect things here).

Also you're free to pick stages randomly from the list of Starters and Counterpicks if you like, but no stages from the Banned list (they are listed as Banned for a reason after all :V).

[Joshua]

While I'm not entirely sure what Double Elimination is (so I'm just move onto the next and pretend you don't notice :V),

Double elimination is a method of bracket construction. Every player is given another chance to play a match if he or she loses a match; he or she is simply put into the "Loser's Bracket" instead of being eliminated outright, not being able to play again. It allows for a better way to determine who are the top players in the tournament; a person who loses the first round could possibly advance all the way through the bracket and win anyway, instead of being eliminated immediately due to the "random" seeding.

Example of a double elimination bracket:




In the example, Gabe lost his first match, but he was able to advance through the losers bracket, beating out someone who won his first match, Champ. It demonstrates that Gabe is better than Champ, something that would not have been able to be proved if Gabe was not allowed to play again if he lost.

[Generations (Chaos Warp)]

I would like to join, what do I need to do? BTW I'm going to be gone for a week (Vacation), when does this start?

[Panda Cero]

I'll hop in too, though I can't give you my fc yet

It starts in 2 weeks. Post your friend code if you'll be here after times up to battle. =p

[Sega DogTagz]

I want to join in.... but Brawl's lag usually gives me fits. (I have a really good connection, and every other game works fine).

I'll have to think about it, but I'll probably cave in and join. Looks like fun.

[Autosaver]

I guess I could join, I'll post my FC tomorrow.

[Xenos]

Count me in, but could you add me as Ultimate Spidey/Xenos? Just to avoid confusion.

And I'm pretty sure you already know my FC too.

[Agent York]

I'll get on my friendcode as well, but count me in. These things are always fun.

[Stocking Anarchy]

I haven't played in a while, but I'll enter.

[lbyrd2]

I'm thinking about joining, but what time of the day will the matches take place?

[Vemus]

Hopefully the tournament will take place at a reasonable time of day for everyone. The reasoning behind the the picture/stream form of proof is to get rid of the possibility of "So-and-so's lying about his win, Mrs. KamiShark really won the match" complaints and just makes it a lot easier on the judges.

As for Eddy's question, that's Tio Tournament Organizer, I'll be using that to keep track of wins/losses as they come, if you want it, let me know and I can link you. Also if the tournament is forced to take longer than a day, I'll take a screencap of the current standings so they can be posted if desired.
