Who's Got Salt
2/5/11
Ann Arbor, MI

Original tourney thread: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=294913
Videos thread: coming soon (http://www.youtube.com/user/Juggleguy)

Great turnout everyone, I was pleased with how well everyone understood the new format and how things moved along in general. Great to see some old faces from AA, as well as meet some new ones from Pittsburgh who drove all the way out here during Super Bowl weekend to play Melee with us! Hope this tourney settled some of MI's lingering salt from SWEET IV.

* Bad news, I looked through my hard drive after the tourney and found out that the first few hours of the day's recorded footage are missing. I may have overwritten the first video file with a new one. I'll keep looking, but it's likely that all vids recorded before ~7PM are lost :( but at least everything in singles bracket is still good.

Currently undecided as to whether to use the round robin bracket hybrid format again in future tourneys... so I'd definitely like to hear your input! What are some things you liked and disliked about it?

Thanks for attending everyone, and congrats to everyone who placed well! See you at Good **** Stratford on 3/19.

this was one of my favorite tournaments ive been to
shady double eliminated velynn 2-1 and 3-2
duck lost one game throughout tournament
shady and i came back two sets against shaeden and velynn to win teams grand finals after getting 3-0'ed in winners

i barely squeezed by the first pool, losing 1-2 to carroll, but he lost to kzhu and juggleguy, both of whom i 2-0'ed
taki, shaeden, and velynn all ***** me in that last losers pool D=

up and coming: TOP DRIVER very impressive
kzhu coming to umich ****
condemned soul and slayertokey were also much better than i had expected

and don't get it wrong, shaeden and velynn are still VERY good
GRATS to duck but he plays gay and samus is broken =p

the new system is good, but as dre says down there, it needs to be run more efficiently. so matches need to be started as pools are filling up.

Crash: Way to make it out of pools again!

Dr. D: Why did you even enter? You should know by now that Crash is the only one who can make it out of pools.

I wish I was here to witness this. :'(

Also, remarks on the format:

Perhaps have the pools play out their matches as it's being filled instead of waiting for you to announce them? I think it took a little too long for losers to go through, imo.

i thinkkk everyone at CoD this weekend enjoyed the hybrid....but alot of ppl wanted it to start first round of losers so they could def be involved in the pools...that was the only complaint we faced....the last pool for us was like: dart, orly, big d, rat...was madddd hype to watch.

Sounds like the hybrid bracket was a good success.

What seed did you get 3rd Rd losers Juggle? I am just trying to figure out how placing #s work.

ps the characters I faced this tournament were:

1 fox
3 jigglypuffs
1 sheik
1 peach
2 marios

not a very good reintroduction to melee

Losers bracket format is much more fair but we need a way to make the process go faster as people in winners bracket (not me) seemed to be waiting forever.

Perhaps the amount of setups contributed in some way, with more helping it go faster.

Shout outs later.

Shoutouts when I'm not dying of hunger but checking swf anyways.

As for the new bracket style I'd give it a 9/10 Would Buy Again. I think that now that it's been tested, you know how to run it a lot more efficiently, and with the help of a few TO assistants this can move just as fast as a normal double elim. What I really like about it is how it's next to impossible to argue with its placements, and it lets you play more games to get more accurate results. As for some of the potential drawbacks that I discussed with you, Rob, I later realized that in the worst case, it's exactly the same as a normal double elim, so it can only be the same or better.

Hate to break it to ya, but 33rd is last place. The exact placings for places that low aren't played out, so everyone on the bottom just gets '33rd place'.

I can't make it to Pound, lol. I think it'll have to be called Jugglefield until further notice ;)

Just put up character choices in the OP. I can't remember them all, let me know if I didn't get you.

4: Taki ($19) lol didn't know you were Taki when we first played and your Falcon just destroyed my Zelda. not that knowing beforehand would have really helped any...

6: Moose - Thanks for housing me man. LOL my Zelda's coming for your spacies.

7: Kalamazhu - You got a lot better man. Too bad you're going to umich. State needs some more players

13: Kail – It was great playing against you guys in teams. You and Travis work pretty well together.
