Talk:Tourney (disambiguation)

I think this should be cleaned up. I'm not good with formatting, but this just looks incorrect. Anyone? Tomm 18:00, September 16, 2007 (EDT)

Winner out and Loser out?

I thought these were Rotation modes? Ike's Best Buddy^{Merry! Christmas!!}

In Brawl they are. In Melee, they are Tournament settings. Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 00:03, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Why?

2 questions.

1. Why is the tournament mode not used in tournaments?

2. If tournament mode is not used in tournaments, why do they exist at all? Avengingbandit 01:05, 2 January 2012 (EST)

1. Anyone, regardless of skill level, can be pitted against someone on the opposite of the skill spectrum. In addition, only one match may occur at a time, leading to an impossible expectation for a finish time, along with the attendance at certain tournaments. Some have well over 400 Smashers participating. Assuming each match took 4 minutes, and it was a strict 1 v 1, the time it takes to complete the first row of a the Tournament Mode is a total of 800 minutes, not taking the time for players to walk up to the single TV.
2. Nintendo views it as useful. My assumption would be that they invisioned the game to be played among friends, putting in a tournament mode that would let a group of friends participate.

There is no need to ask questions that were answered on the IRC by the people who have an idea of the tournament system. MegaTron1XD 02:09, 2 January 2012 (EST)
