Future Tournaments?

Tell us what you think! Do we need more tournaments? Do we need to change the rules? What else do you want to see at the library?!!

We definitely should have more tournaments. But I think a few changes should be made:

1) Please take away the laggy TVs.

2) The tournament should be based on 1v1, not free for alls. ffas tend to discourage people from attacking each other, and can potentially turn very political.

3) Time battles are just bad, since tying is too common and people can easily "steal" kills.

1)I Think the tournaments should be lives
2)we should be on teams of two then that team should face each other
3)one tournament should be a SSBB tournament (if it's after Dec.3rd)

First of all... I appreciate your ideas. Randy, though your input is great... I can promise you that we will not be getting rid of the tvs. We spent a TON of money on trying to get together video game equiptment... including tvs. We are a library and do not have the funding for fabulous top notch tech equiptment all the time. We have to make due with the equiptment we currently have! But we will for sure look into all the other ideas you guys have posted about!

What I mean about the TVs is that they are TOO high tech, so that when the game sends a signal to the TV, the TV can't display the graphics immediately, making it laggy. Standard cathode-ray TVs should do, they're cheap and common, so people might be able to bring TVs.

Another gripe I had about the tourney is the lack of memory cards. If you load the data onto the gamecube, and pull the memory card out, then you can use the saved data at every station, so we only need one person with a complete memory card (which means all characters and stages).

And I would like to propose a tournament format that is closer to this tournament: http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=108950.
This is a tournament for "hardcore" people, but we can do some tweaking for library tournaments.
