I'm no pro with the wiki code and can't find a way to edit the grid to make it changeable so it's possible to look at each parameter individually.

With the recent increase in numbers for Melee since 2013 and with Smash 4 release, many tournament pages are adding entrance records for each game. This page could serve as main reference for fact checking those records while keeping track of overall growth of the scene across many events.

I do agree some of the records are hard to keep track, or maybe are not even needed, like "largest Super Smash Bros. for 3DS tournaments", but still, I think at least Melee and Smash 4 deserve this treatment. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:PFFP|PFFP]] ([[User talk:PFFP|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PFFP|contribs]]) 21:14, June 24, 2015 (CDT)</small>

::Agree. Doubles is complicated. Most of the entrance numbers I got from SmashBoards rankings, but they don't list Doubles brackets. That could get quite complicated across all 5 games.
My concern right now is the balance of tournaments ranks. I feel like ranking only 5 tournaments for Brawl and SSB64 is a disservice to each game legacy, but there's so little info on SSB64 tournaments and Brawl never got over Apex 2012. The overall section needs to expand to Top 15 or Top 20 soon IMO. [[User:PFFP|PFFP]] ([[User talk:PFFP|talk]]) 21:53, 22 July 2015 (EDT)

:::::Good point. All I am saying is that Melee does not need to be bigger than the others. I get that Melee basically ''is'' the scene, but still. Consistency rules.

::::::I agree with Serpent King on this. Ideally, yes, it would be great to have all of the main games with 10 tournaments listed. However, ''Smash 64'' is unfortunately not exactly well-known for having documented tournament results, and the current list we have may not be entirely accurate either (due to the scene in Japan having a few large tournaments that are also not well-documented). I also agree that ''Melee'' doesn't need to be bigger than the other games, so I feel like 5 tournaments is fine for now. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 01:35, 23 July 2015 (EDT)
:::::::I think it's better to have more tournaments listed for Melee which has ''had'' more big tournaments than to deliberately shorten it to be consistent with 64, the smallest competitive scene. On top of that, two of the biggest 64 tournaments are this year, suggesting there will be more in the near future to expand that list.

::::::::While you have a point that deliberately shortening ''Melee'''s list to be consistent with 64 sounds a bit silly, I also don't feel the need to really expand past 5 tournaments for the other games. Melee's ten largest tournaments all exceed the 200+ (actually, 300+ in this case) marker, but the same can't be said for the other games (''especially'' 64). [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 02:11, 23 July 2015 (EDT)
:::::::::Hence why I think the current layout is fine for now, barring potentially expanding SSB4-U's table now or soon. As more tournaments with cite-able attendance happen, we can expand the tables as is convenient. In other words, I think the two most prominently active metagames in terms of attendance, Melee and Wii U, deserve bigger tables than the less attendance-drawing ones, but the latter can be expanded over time.

==Expanding each game list==
Ok, this discussion needs a reset and its own section.
===SSB4, PM and Brawl===
I agree SSB64, PM and Brawl can't be expanded to top 10 right now, taking in consideration that those games have smaller scenes and few noticible events with a large turn out. The SSB64 problem of few documented events is valid, but it seems the game is gaining mommentum, I mean, take a look at the current Top 5, they're all tournaments from the last 3 years. If this keeps up, we might need to expand next year. But that's a talk for next year
===Smash 4===
For now I agree there's no need to expand the list to more than 5, after all the game is not even 1 year old. But I do believe we'll have to expand this section next year, when Apex and EVO comes around again. The 4th largest event has more than double the entrants of the 5th largest event, while ''the'' largest event also has more than double of the 2nd largest event. I say we leave it like that for now and bring this conversation again next year, when Apex numbers come in.
===Melee and the Overall rank===
Downgrade Melee to Top 5 makes sense for consistency, but lets be real here: if we only rank the top 5 for melee and the top 10 overall, the list will still rank the top 7 largest melee events, two more than Melee's own list. The point of expanding the overall section to Top 15 is to give a chance to other games, who show up beyond 10. Expanding to Top 20 right now might be a stretch, but if the overall growth of the scene keeps with this momentum till 2017, it will be inevitable.[[User:PFFP|PFFP]] ([[User talk:PFFP|talk]]) 08:33, 23 July 2015 (EDT)
I agree that Melee should be kept at Top 10 and we'll also have Smash 4 at Top 10 soon within 8 months or so but not right now. Brawl might have a Top 10 but since it started to die out by 2013, its hard to find anything after Apex 2012.

:The general consensus, it seems, is keep Melee at 10, expand Smash 4 soon, and, once Smash 64 and Brawl have enough large tournaments, expand them.

:::::::Updated the Overall rank to Top 15. The main reason is to highlight the other games tha show up beyond top 10. With that said, I don't think we need a Top 20 right now.

:'''I also feel like it's too much''', but while looking at some of those events, taking out the fact that those events were the largest to date, at the time and/or year, felt like a disservice to the events and overall legacy of the competitive scene. The overall list of Largest Smash Tournaments is completely dominated by post 2013 events, with Brawl's largest to date being the only from the pre-EVO 2013 era to make the cut. This page currently shows only how big the scene is today, but gives no attention to how big it has become across the years, or even how fast. The largest Smash event from 2012 is two times bigger than the largest from 2011, and the largest from 2013 is almost twice as bigger as 2012 largest.
:The main goal of this page is to serve as a hard data indicator of the scene growth. In an ideal situation each event would have a clear number of unique players across all games that it hosted, but we can only work with confirmed entrants for each tournament. Apex 2012 was the largest event of 2012, that's a fact, and adding this information only to the event page feels like trivia. We have a page dedicated to record events by size and sorting this information by another parameter adds perspective to the information itself.
:What I'm not so sure is if we should feature only ''the'' largest by each year, or more than one by each year, like this:

== Update Rule ==
It might be time to elaborate on some kind of rule for how to update this page, beyond the basic "Add event, entrance and source(s)". I think the constant update behavior is not ideal. I'm referring to the Genesis 3 updates. Registration is still open, so numbers are not final and keep on growing, which resulted on constant updates here. The history page is a wall of updates on small numbers for Genesis 3 various games.
I do think it's ok to update entrance numbers when registration is still open, after all this page started like that, when EVO already had the largest smash tournament title before registration had closed. But now I feel it would be better to hold those updates until registration is closed, to avoid spam of small updates.[[User:PFFP|PFFP]] ([[User talk:PFFP|talk]]) 08:15, 23 November 2015 (EST)
:I agree. In addition, I think I will start enforcing edit summaries when adding to this page.

::Updating milestones on entrance numbers is usefull, but there's no need to update constantly (1000, 1010, 1030, 1090, etc).

== Including Smash3DS ==
My strongest arguments are:
* The largest Smash3DS tournament is bigger than the largest Smash 64 tournament.
* The article says that it covers "each game in the series". Smash3DS is a game in the series. (For sake of argument, suppose Brawl's tournament presence was so bad that none of its events had 100 entrants. Would it still be outright excluded from the article?)
* The [[List of national tournaments]] article covers all five games plus Project M; this article is very similar in topic. Why should they cover different lists of games? Or would you say that that article deserves to have Smash3DS deleted as well?
* Same thing with the [[Banned stage]]s article. I was the one who originally added the Smash3DS section to that article, then someone filled it out and now it's nicely informational. Delete?

:Counterpoints:
:*You say that the largest Smash 3DS tournament ([[Umebura 9]], with 192 entrants) is bigger than the largest Smash 64 tournament ([[Apex 2015]], with 187 entrants)... however, I can just as well say that there have been more 100+ entrant tournaments for Smash 64 (at least six of them in the past, with a seventh one coming soon in [[GENESIS 3]]).
:*The reason why I referred to [[Smasher talk:Simna ibn Sind#Top Pro vs. Pro|this talk page]] was to demonstrate that wording on pages is not always literal (since, after all, wikis are editable). As I've stated before, the creator of this page as well as the one who wrote the sentence in question stated that 3DS tournaments probably don't need to be listed. (I'm not specifically using this as my basis for being against not including 3DS, just that you can't always go by wording alone on articles.)
:*Yes, while [[List of national tournaments]] is quite similar to this one, I don't see why that means we have to remove the list from there as well. There have been four 100+ man tournaments in Smash 3DS's lifespan, and all of them are listed on that page because they were national tournaments. This page just focuses on tournament size (which more often than not, correlates to whether a tournament is a national, but not always; for example, [[Northeastern Smash Attack 2]] and [http://smashboards.com/rankings/bust-3-melee-singles-pro-bracket-pools.10078/event BUST 3] both had over 200 entrants, but neither of those tournaments had anyone who was considered Top 20 at the time, so they're considered to be regionals). It's similar to the reason why Smash 64 only has 5 tournaments listed instead of 10: there just haven't been enough decently-sized tournaments to extend it to 10. As for [[Banned stage]]s, that page and this page don't really have anything in common outside of both being related to competitive play, so I don't really think that's a fair point.

Smash3Ds and SmashU should just be consolidated under "Smash 4" for tournament and results listing.

My opinion on this as the one that originally created the List of ''Largest Tournaments'' page.
* First, the point of this page is to make it easier for people to quickly see the largest smash tournaments currently active in the scene. This list is not perfect but it has a clear goal: who are the big ones?
* Second, if we added 3DS separately from Wii U, the only thing this list would show was something obvious: "wow, when it comes to tournaments people prefer to play Smash 4 on Wii U". Duh. So for me there's no point on adding 3DS since it's only a portable version of Smash 4. There's no Super Smash Bros for 3DS scene separated from a Super Smash Bros for Wii U scene, there's only the ''Smash 4 scene'', that plays competitively mostly on the version the whole smash series is more associated with, the current Nintendo Home Console, the Wii U.[[User:PFFP|PFFP]] ([[User talk:PFFP|talk]]) 22:30, 24 December 2015 (EST)
::I can argue that another goal of this page, the second section specifically, is to show ''which'' tournaments were the largest for any given game. So someone could visit this page to find out "Which ''Brawl'' tournament was the largest?". Then the reply to your second point would be that including 3DS would be a way to show readers which Smash3DS tournaments were the largest and where/how big they were, not just the fact that they're obviously smaller than SmashU.

:I don't think it's a good idea, mostly for consistency reasons.

Not to mention the sheer number of countries with similar numbers.

== Upadating the "Update Rule" ==
So, after some consideration on the matter of the ''Update Rule'' for this page - '''allowing tournaments to be added before registration closes, but limiting the number of updates until registration closes''' -, I think it's best for the page that we don't add a tournament ''at all'' until registration closes and numbers are final.
We wanted to avoid constant updates on the page when registration is still open for certain tournaments, and the rule to limit isn't working, since some people simply doesn't care about the rule, or doesn't read the freaking note on the top. So, if we ban the inclusion of events befero registration closes this might be easier to moderate.
'''But a warning:''' If people were ignoring the previous rule anyway, chances are they'll continue to add tournaments before registration closes. Making the decision moot.[[User:PFFP|PFFP]] ([[User talk:PFFP|talk]]) 22:12, 26 May 2016 (EDT)
:I've been thinking about this rule, and I think we should give a final rulling. We need to choose one of those two:

It would be a good thing to specify what sorts of tournaments are included at the top of the page.  (Like, despite its size, we probably don't want to include [[Red Bull Smash Gods and Gatekeepers]] -- which indeed isn't on there right now -- because, well, it'd be a pain in the ass to include; who's the "winner", for instance?)  Right now it says "Only 1v1 tournaments with the standard rulesets are included."  This seems a little off to me, because I worry that people will interpret it to mean that e.g. [[IVGF NorthWest Regionals]] shouldn't be included.  Or that people will disqualify tournaments for minor variations in rules.  It certainly doesn't meet current standards -- and as for the standards of the time, well, there were none.  But clearly it should be in.  I'm not sure how to phrase this in a way that makes clear what's meant.  Maybe we just don't need to say "with the standard rulesets"?  I mean, what even is there that we would want to disqualify for that reason?  Smash the Record?  None of those have been large enough to make the list anyway.  So maybe we can just leave that out.

Hey, does anyone know the exact prize amounts for {{trn|Smash Summit 9}}?  I want to add it to the largest prizes table, but I don't know the exact amount first place won.  Thanks! [[User:Sniffnoy|Sniffnoy]] ([[User talk:Sniffnoy|talk]]) 16:11, February 23, 2020 (EST)
==Largest online tournaments==
I believe we should make a section for the largest online tournaments. It may be a bit hard to search for ''Smash 4'' ones, but ''Ultimate''{{'}}s shouldn't be that bad. Of course, we won't add online tournaments to the overall largest tournament section.

:'''Support'''. Sound like a good idea. [[Special:Contributions/46.229.158.109|46.229.158.109]] 09:17, May 8, 2020 (EDT)

:'''Support''', Online play is big enough to deserve it's own largest tourneys section.

This seems to have fallen off, but '''support'''. In particular I feel as though we should have an entire page dedicated to online. This would allow us to separate it by game, by year, and by prize. We can also create a record progression section as well.

Just now saw that this page lacks a table for documenting the largest online tournaments, and I would '''support''' adding one regardless of whether online tournaments are considered eligible for any of the other tables on this page.
