How do you define someone who matters, hm?
To me, anyone who wants to play, who has the will to get better or that simply has a positive attitude can only do good for the community. Almost everybody matters. But people who don't play the game... they don't matter. Why should they? Because they played Melee? Brawl has a new scence with new players. It's fresh. Who knows how long it will last, but as of right now there's a bigger Canadian Brawl scence than Melee.
So... yeah.

Anyway, about the infinites, I just want to ban the DDD/Marth/Yoshi infinites since it makes certain characters way too easy to counterpick against. The reason I want to do this is because:
1) I know (almost) nobody attending will to this anyway
2) There will be many new players there, who've never been to a tourney before... if they happen to play one of those characters, I wouln't want them to lose like that. I want the newbies to stay and then later find out that stuff later.
Also, I'll explain stages in a bit (as well as clarify on the infinites in the first post). Pictochat is def. counterpick though.
