I'm sure I wasn't the only one who couldn't hear a single thing coming out of the mic. Every time they called out a match I was just hoping it wasn't me cause I couldn't hear a thing heh.
I was thinking that after the brackets are drawn up, you could mark up a big ol piece of poster paper with black marker, with the brackets all ready to go for every game and tack them up on the walls all around the Fighting Game room. Example(Ignore the periods, it's required so it doesn't look retarded):

That way people know exactly when they are up, and they can also see how each tournament is progressing. There'd be no more 5 minutes of confusion and an empty cabinet...I think it would speed up the process if people knew exactly when they were supposed to play so they could just look down the list and see how close it was to their turn.
I wouldn't mind helping out and doing them up myself if you guys are shorthanded. That is, if you think it's a good idea. I dunno just my .02.
