Fanime 2009's Official eGaming Thread (updated 5/19/09)

Due to the large amount of players that will likely be at these tournaments, we highly suggest bringing your own controllers for both casuals and tournaments. Although we will have controllers for people to use, we only have a finite amount and may not be able to supply everyone.

Who do I sign up with for the Smash Tournament?

At the eGaming perimeter, there will be a line of people signing up for tournaments and a a group of people on laptops lined up helping these people. If you see that line plus a stack of laptops with people in it, that's where you should sign up.

What day?

I have a question about tournaments in general. A friend of mine is planning to be at the con on Sunday for the brawl Tournament. Does he have to physically sign his name on the sign in sheet or could I do it for him on Friday?

RegularJoe · May 19, 2009, 09:22:47 PM

Darn... there's no way that the two Brawl tourneys can swap days, is there? D:
I won't be around on Sunday. :(

Yes, he has to be physically present. We will not accept people signing other people in.

Nope. Time changes are impossible at this time. Deadlines and requests were done weeks ago.

Knightfire · May 19, 2009, 11:31:49 PM

Thanks. I'll tell him to get his ass early to the con, then.

Wow, that add on seems horrible. The Awesomebox360's controller is perfectly good for FPS. If you need to use a mouse or a keyboard maybe you just shouldn't even consider playing a console tourney.

Another question, is there a sign in cap for tournaments, such as "when x number of people have signed up, we can not allow anymore to sign up"?

Yeah, I think he said 128 max.

Yes, there is a sign-in cap for all tournaments. Even if you weren't the first X people to sign up, there is a reserve list in which you are eligible to sign up for, which may get you a spot if people drop out. This list is slightly limited as well and if too many people signed up for reserve, we will have to close sign-ups for that tournament entirely.

Yes, for the most part. The 128-max entry excludes tournaments with double-elimination, music games, RPS, and other specialized tournaments depending on the tournament organizers' judgment.

Knightfire · May 20, 2009, 07:45:03 PM

Thanks, I'll let him know.
