Bring on the Mayhem!

This competition is a straight-forward fight to the finish. Items will be on (but not frequent), and all characters may be used.

Each fight will be 4-player Free-For-All, starting with Time-Limited battles (to keep things moving), and eventually culminating in a no-time-limit, 6-life free-for-all battle in the final.

Courses will be chosen on the day (all stationary battlefields), but the final will be Hyrule Temple (bar popular protest).

The battles will be shown on the Respawn Projectors for all to see. But that's not as awesome as being the one to claim the glory!

Oh, and did I mention Streamed Via Projector?

Ready...? GO!

I can help out with a CRT and a splitter.

Alternatively I have the wii2hdmi, NTSC Melee and a 27" lagless LCD we could use. However I don't have a splitter and this only works if we have a hdmi splitter and the projector accepts hdmi (or DVI-D).

Err... Won't a splitter create lag, defeating the purpose.....? >_< I'll be the first to admit if I'm wrong mind you, just seems logical...

NTSC Melee won't work on my 'Cube as far as I know (could be wrong), and have no Nintendo Wii, but thanks for the offers there

The projector I have access to has RCA and VGA, no DVI as far as I know. The HD ones are being used for broadcasting

If you're willing to cart in a CRT and splitter, and the players agree to try it out, it's worth a shot and I'll welcome it. Ultimately, this tournament is for the players enjoyment, not strictly a competitive environment: if bringing in a CRT makes it more enjoyable, and we have the space to accommodate it (which is still dicey) then we'll give it a crack!
