It looks like the team is going into peoples rooms and asking them if they can support pools.
Judging from the above they should ask if they can support the roof first haha

Nintendo should offer compensation to these attendees for lost time.but they have NINTENDO!! right?? ;_;
someone save us
We're going to be making a PSA on http://twitch.tv/vgbootcamp in about 2 hours. We'll have an update during the stream. @VGBootCamp #Apex2015
Has there been any comments from NOA?
Just woke up
.....................................
I genuinely want to cry and I'm not even attending the event.
Same, this is nuts. Everyone made it out safe and sound at least right?

Yup, which is a huge sigh of relief.
Yes, everyone's fine.
We won't have any updates until the VGBC stream, if you are around the hotel, you have at least 2-3 hours before announcements.
Feel bad for the smash community. The other communities are well represented at other tournaments, but this is the big smash tournament.
I wish Twitch would switch to HTML 5 already. I just had to update my Flash Player, and I'm sick of that. As soon as they cross over, Flash is getting uninstalled.https://twitter.com/apex_series/status/561201486290776064
2 more hours til we know what's going to happen...

we at Evo tho.
So other communities can prevent collapsing roofs?

It's not the headliner at EVO. Not the same community you see at Apex.

I mean....there are two smash games at Evo this year.
other communities don't have the Ice Climbers Kappa
just woke up, time to watch some Smash Br--
JEEEESUS CHRIST
this... this is a fucking disaster...

R.I.P. SBO.Yes. Street Fighter tournaments are known for their structural integrity. Even the ones that are held out in the middle of nowhere, in the rain.
Sounds like a logistics nightmare.Okay, still trying to absorb this. Here's what I think:
-Cancel FGC tournaments. Sorry dudes, but this was never going to be a big FGC tournament.
-Cancel doubles for every game. Unfortunate, but a big time waster, holds up the singles bracket, and no one really cares about doubles.
-Cancel Brawl. Super low turnout and would probably just delay the Smash 4 singles tournament.
You're left with Smash 64 singles (which can also be cancelled if neccesary, but it's a very quick game and I don't think there's much overlap with other Smash games), and of course Smash 4 singles and Melee singles, the two most important events of the weekend by far.
Right now, they need to be running as many pools in as many hotel rooms as possible. As crazy as this sounds, it can be done. I'm not sure how many people are in each pool, but you can definitely get 2 setups in every room. When I went to Apex in 2012 some rooms had three setups going on. In the larger suite rooms, we had 5 or 6 setups and at least 40 people in the room.
It won't be easy, but this event can be saved. I believe in the community and the Apex staff.
Why do you think everyone in the crowd always does the Rufus Ultra?
It's the only thing that works
Equipment is getting cleared out currently of the ballrooms from what I'm hearing. #Apex2015

At this point, that's the case no matter what.Sounds like a logistics nightmare.

This was supposed to be a big Xrd tournament though. I'm fiending for Smash as much as the next guy but I was really looking forward to seeing that too.

Tweet deleted?
At my desk, trying to find other venues nearby. Passing it along to APEX staff as I can.

Although the big question is whether they can even move the equipment somewhere where they can use it.
- single elim
- reduced stock/time
- let pools run over the scheduled times for top 8

I was really looking forward to the Pokemon tournament. Honestly, it might be the easiest one to still pull off since it doesn't need dedicated set ups like other games.

We are getting things worked out. It's so crazy to see all of the big TOs & staff of smash working.
