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.

== Why I desagree with this page's deletion==
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>

== How to specify what tournaments are included? ==
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.

== Missing something ==
[[2GGC Civil War]] had 843, should be in the Top 10 Smash 4. --[[Special:Contributions/73.245.30.248|73.245.30.248]] 18:14, August 8, 2019 (EDT)
Nevermind that, 753 smash 4 entrants --[[Special:Contributions/73.245.30.248|73.245.30.248]] 18:23, August 8, 2019 (EDT)
==EVO Japan 2020==
Normally, disqualifications won't really affect the final entrants tally for a tournament. However, EVO Japan 2020 had over 1,000 disqualifications, meaning that it's no longer in the top 5 largest tournaments of all time. Since this is a big change, should we input the more accurate entrant count, or stick with the initial entrant count? [[User:Cookies and Creme|<span style="font-family: Georgia;color: black;">Cookies</span>]][[File:CnC Signature.png|20px]][[User talk:Cookies and Creme|<span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Creme</span>]] 08:47, January 24, 2020 (EST)
:I think we should go with the new entrant count with a footnote giving the initial count that explains what happened. '''[[User:Voqéo|<span style="background:#000; color:white; padding:2px 6px;font-size:12px;">Voqéo</span>]][[User talk:Voqéo|<span style="background:#e70012; color:white; padding:2px 4px;font-size:12px;">T</span>]]''' 09:11, January 24, 2020 (EST)
::'''Support''' the new entrant count. That's over a third of the original number DQ'd. It'd be disingenuous to keep the original number instead of the entrant amount who are actively playing in the tourney. Footnote idea doubleplusgood. [[User:Smore|Smore]] ([[User talk:Smore|talk]]) 09:29, January 24, 2020 (EST)
:The DQs for MomoCon 2019 should also be looked into for similar reasons. Just like EVO Japan, it was a free entry tournament with a significant amount of DQs (over 300, I believe). [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 17:19, January 25, 2020 (EST)
::It was around 300 DQs, though I don't think accurate numbers exist.

== Smash Summit 9 ==
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. [[User:Cookies and Creme|<span style="font-family: Georgia;color: black;">Cookies</span>]][[File:CnC Signature.png|20px]][[User talk:Cookies and Creme|<span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Creme</span>]] 09:11, May 8, 2020 (EDT)
:'''Support'''. Sound like a good idea. [[Special:Contributions/46.229.158.109|46.229.158.109]] 09:17, May 8, 2020 (EDT)
Bump. [[User:Cookies and Creme|<span style="font-family: Georgia;color: black;">Cookies</span>]][[File:CnC Signature.png|20px]][[User talk:Cookies and Creme|<span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Creme</span>]] 09:37, June 18, 2020 (EDT)
:'''Support''', Online play is big enough to deserve it's own largest tourneys section. [[File:Grand Dad.png|23x20px]] [[User:NaughtyPigMario|<span style="color: red;">'''NPM🐷'''</span>]]  [[User talk:NaughtyPigMario|''<span style="color: blue;">Morr!?</span>'']] [[File:NaughtyPigBoi.jpg|23x20px]] 09:43, June 18, 2020 (EDT)
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. [[User:SenorMexicano|<span style="color:#850FFA; text-shadow: 0px 0px 3px green">'''Señor'''</span> <span style="color:#850FFA;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px green">'''Mexicano'''</span>]] ''[[User talk:SenorMexicano|<span style="color:lightpurple;text-shadow:0px 0px 2px lightgreen">(talk)</span>]]'' 01:01, March 22, 2021 (EDT)
:'''Support''' --[[User:Meester Tweester|Meester Tweester]] ([[User talk:Meester Tweester|talk]]) 09:00, March 22, 2021 (EDT)
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.
