People just don't want to get shrekt at the biggest SSF2 tourney after two matches.
So I thought about a first group stage with 4 Round Robin pools (of at least 8 players if we get more than 32 players). Best 4 of each pools moves to a DE bracket. (or best 6 and 5th-6th of each pools gets automatically sent into losers bracket). Kinda how I'm Not Yelling was run.
Two problems tho :
1 - I don't think challonge could do it on his own.
2 - Is it possible to do it in one day?

EDIT :
AWWWWWWW~

Challonge does indeed support 2-stage tournaments now. I may do the round robin thing, unless I think there are too many people, in which case I'll do bracket pools.

If I do either of those things, I may hold an amateur bracket for those who don't make it to phase 2.

90 confirmed signups for SI13

Just leaving that there

14 hour tourney here we go

Let's see how many of these guys actually show up, eh?

This is going to be a interesting tournament 232 people are going to to show up, but to be more specific 80% would not be there and 20% will, and if everyone shows up this going to take 2 days to finish which is going to be crazy. Dark Ermac i have hope in you

Mains:

If only 50% shw up, ten RIP Darc Ermac lol Is it ok if Im like 45 mins late? I guess not... But as always, Darchasgosen an awl time. 30-40 mins later already would have worked^^

Why'd you decide to send out invitations to this tournament through challonge anyway?
Just wondering because it's kind of weird how even if a player didn't accept the invite, he/she still got placed in the bracket.

tac3 if they don't check in they automatically get removed from the bracket
so the current bracket is just a preview

There are several players in my tournaments who are not McleodGaming users. The invites are pretty much for them, but I decided to do everyone because screw it.

Also, inviting everyone meant I got to do all the player seeding right away.

dropping out
I don't feel like playing in online mode tournaments anymore

Too much hype huh

hardly...
gonna start up an offline community at my college and possibly host streamed tournaments if enough people become interested.
might start during beta release though
we'll see

How many matches go on at once? I seen I'm around AD bracket, whether that matters and may be likely to change. I would be leaving 4 hours after the tournament begins and was wondering If I should unregister if the times would take a lot longer than that.



That'd be cool to watch.

Trust me, I doubt you need to worry about the time. Each round will last about half an hour, at most.
