I definitely remember JKE smoker lagging with everyone in the US in DOA4. Probably won't change in DOA5.

Here is my question: Should I cap the entrants at 40 (making 4 blocks of 10 players, or 8 blocks of 5), making the tournament easier to run, or should I keep taking entrants? I'm not trying to have a tournament that takes 8 hours to run (as I have to pay to get hours to use a console), but I want the tournament to be fun... Thoughts, anyone?

Your paying to play? Do whatever you have time for. I think everyone can understand if you don't have the money to take further registrations.

Correct; I don't own a 360, so I play at an internet lounge here in my hometown (I represented them at the Hot Import Nights IGN Pro League tournament). I have extra money, I'm just trying to be frugal with it.
No, I wouldn't have to kick people out, but there's two people who are on the outside looking in. If I was able to get two others, I'd have 44 and four groups of 11 (which makes everything even). Hrm... what a conundrum to have. Maybe I can get a few people who aren't signed up here to sign up? I mean, there's already some top tier people entered (Raansu, Rikuto, CyberEvil, NykNyks), but I think there's also some good online players that aren't in here (Renarism, Punishere, I'm looking at you two)... *shrugs*
I think I'll keep entrants open, but I'm going to cap it at 44, unless I know I can get people in groups of 4.

I thought for sure someone would have stepped up to look after the PSN version of this by now. I admire the effort you're putting in and think it might be a good idea to chronicle what's involved in administering an online tourney bigger than the online system will accomodate. - I'd probably be willing to do some of the paperwork, but I think I'd bail before seeing the commitment through. Especially, since I have no idea what's involved.

Speaking of setting it up. When the tournament starts tomorrow are we just posting here to find out our "pools" or will there be an irc channel? Just curious how we are meeting up

Is it too late to get in on this? If not I'd like to sign up.

No worries, every pool will be running somewhat concurrently, so it moves along at a decent pace.
I will be inviting people into a party chat (Same way AP does his online tournaments) to let them know their next match. I'll also have a post on here with a full schedule for each pool that will be updated as the tournament progresses.
Also, the tournament is now full. Thanks to everyone for entering! Keep an eye out for invites and messages from PowerPlayX2 at and after 4:00PM; those not accepting invites or away from their consoles may have that match forfeited (as a 2-0 win for their opponent). I've also updated the main list with the tiebreaker procedure for the pool play stage, as I felt it needed to be explained (maybe it didn't, but it makes me feel better knowing I've put it out there).
