Controller mods of ANY kind (short-hop mod, L-trigger mod, etc),
except for cosmetic changes (paint job, different colored plastic), are
banned. If you are caught using a banned controller you will be
disqualified from the tournament.

Turbo or programmed buttons of any kind are banned. You may use
third party controllers or pads that have these features, but if you
are suspected of using the banned features you will not be allowed to
use that controller any longer.

Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character
or indefinitely freezing them, or any glitch or trick that freezes the match
or makes it in any way unfinishable are banned. Using them will result in the
immediate forfeit of the match.

Tactics such as Jiggly's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or
to manuever around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively
stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath,
is banned. Judges will be on the tournament floor can be called in at any time to
enforce this rule during a match.

You are responsible to bring your own controller. Any controller is suitable
for this tournament (wii mote/nun chuck/classic), just make sure people around
you are not also syncing at the same time as you.

=================================================

So, post if you or your crew mates can make it! We'll be needing setups (just wii/game) with all characters/stages/random stage select unlocked. Please also mark your Wii to distinguish it from everyone else's.

She's having major back surgery on the 16th or earlier if possible. Currently her whole body will go into muscle spasm at once and it's excruciatingly painful to watch, so I'm sure it's unbearable to her. So they're going to remove the bottom 4 vertabra and attempt to get some of the arthritis and nerve damage out of her back in the hopes that it will rectify the problem. But no one knows how it will go...
