Ok so here's my 2nd attempt at a medium to small scale smash tournament. This is being held at my friends house while his parents are out of town. We play on having 2 big screens (if he can fix the 2nd, older one), and at least 3 smaller TVs not smaller than 26". Cubes will be provided as well as multiple copies of the game. In the event I anticipate more people coming than we can currently accomidate, I will ask for someone to bring an extra tv/cube/smash.
General Rules:
Bring your own controller- This is not mandatory but we are limited on the number of controllers we will have. Personally, I like using only my own controller as do most of the people I play with. If you do not have a controller that you are comfortable with using or bringing, let me know in advance so I know to bring my own or tell my friends to bring extra. For your own sake, bring your own so theres no complaints of buttons or something not working. If yours needs to be cleaned or whatever, i have the tri-wing screwdriver so we can open yours up and clean it.
This is a home and not a venue that I am renting out. Please show respect and be on good behavior or I or someone else (or many people) will have to escort you out with no refund. I know most of the people that post here (in vegas) and my own friends that are going also and i know this is not a problem for them, but I am anticipating a lot of new competition so this is why I say so.
If a player or team doesn't show up on time for their match, they will be given a 5 minute grace period before it will go down as a forfeit.
In the case of a GameCube/TV malfunction, the game will be restarted from the beginning, no matter what time it crashed. All decisions made by tournament officials are final. Any other sign of cheating will also result in forfeit of the game.
Food and drinks will be provided but we will ask for a donation. We're not trying to cut a profit but I'm not THAT generous. Also, after the tournament you are all more than welcome to stay and play games. with all the TVs available we can get some Double Dash or Baseball going, we'll see.
Tournament format is as follows:
Depending on the amount of entrants, I have 2 choices. I can go full on Double elimination, or I can do Round Robin/DE. I want everyone to get their moneys worth, so I'll probably go round robin or do RR pools like at MLG and then seed off into DE brackets.
1. All matches are best of 3 except for the Finals (best of 5).
2. The Losers Bracket will have mixed placement to avoid players being eliminated by the same opponent that beat them in the Winner’s Bracket.
3. Lives will be set at 4 stock with an 8 minute time limit.
4. Ties will be broken by stock left and then by percentage of health. Sudden death will be played if both the stock and percentage are tied at the end of the time limit.
5. Items will be turned off.
6. The first round stage is selected by random, but if both players (teams) can agree on a stage then the first match can be played on any stage they agree upon except one from the banned list below.
7. Random Select Stages - Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams, Kirby 64, & Pokemon Stadium.
8. Stages Banned - Hyrule Temple, Fourside, Flatzone, Brinstar Depths, Icicle Mountain, Big Blue, and Yoshi's Island 64.
9. Stages not listed on the random select list, that are not banned, are open for counter picks by the losing player.
10. “Dave's Stupid Rule” - no stage can be used twice in a single match, whether by random select or by picking.
11. Knock-out - after initial characters have been selected and only before the first match is played, each person may knock off one stage from the available tournament stages. That stage will be turned off for the entire set.
12. Advanced Slob Picks - the loser may choose the next stage or elect to go random, then the winner may change characters, and then the loser may change characters.
13. Double-Blind Pick - at the beginning of a match, any player may call for a double-blind pick. This means that all participating players tell a judge their character secretly and are required to use that character for the first game.
Teams Rules:
1. Team Attack ON
2. Life stealing allowed
Special Rules:
1. Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (Mewtwo's Soul Stunner, the Ice Climber freeze glitch), or any glitch or trick that freezes the game or makes it in any way unfinishable are banned and will result in the immediate forfeit of the entire match.
2. Tactics such as Peach's Wallbombing and Jiggly's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or to maneuver around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively stall a match, such as droping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath, is banned. If by using one of these tactics, you have put your character in a place to lose a stock by ending the tactic, a judge may force you to stop the tactic and lose a stock.
I think i covered all the bases there. I borrowed some rules from the MLG website just because they already had it typed for me. Also, i changed the banned/random stages just because we don't have the kind of abuse here like they do in other cities.
Prices/Prizes:
Singles entry will be $5, teams will be $10 (5 each).
Prizes are as follows:
1st- 70%
2nd- 20%
3rd- 10%
Again I will say we will be providing food/drinks. I would appreciate any donations of food/drinks and/or money to help out. If you have any questions feel free to PM me, IM me, or reply in this thread!
