The PAYOUT for 2vs2

General rules:
3 Stock
7 minute timer
Items are set to "off" and "none"
All sets with the possible exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches (best of 5 and above is recommended for any "finals" matches)
In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors
No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
In team matches, the ports will be determined in a 1221 fashion; whoever wins the RPS will choose first, then the opposing team will get their ports, and then the teammate of the RPS winner will get the last port.
If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.
You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility, so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.
Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.
I reserve the right to film ANY and EVERY match i want. I also allow ANYONE to do the same.
::Banned Techs::
DeDeDe's Infinite grab. You must release(throw away) after 5 consecutive grabs. CHaracters that are effected: mario/luigi/samus/dk/ddd/bowser
MetaKnights cape glitch.
Infinite release grabs(marth, wario.....ect). You must release(throw away/smash) after 5 consecutive grabs.
Infinite wall grabs. You must release(throw away/smash/release to re-grab) after 5 consecutive grabs.
Bowser and Ganondorf suicide grabs result in a win for those two characters.
Stalling is banned*
*Stalling: The act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling. Stalling will be permitted up to 5 seconds, after that you will lose your match. Plainking is a perfect example. If i see it, you WILL lose your ENTIRE SET. No warnings! Play, don’t gay.

Xyro Edit: i went to a meeting today at the hotel. It seems they are expecting a RECORD breaking year this year. They EXPECT a little over 7000 people to attend this convention. I personally expect between 400-500 SSBB players(3/4 of them will be random anime n00bs who dont know **** about brawl) so please be very very forgiving if things are not speedy. This may be a new world record for smash and i am VERY excited about this. No matter what happens, this event WILL be complete in the 3 days it is given AND you people will get paid your money like promised.
Xyro Edit 2: Ultimate Razer did some quick math(hes is still in 3rd grade so it may be wrong) and he has determined that if 500 smashers enter the tournament the payout for 1st place will be at 4525$.....good or bad?
Sky bridge(from the outside its a green hallway suspended in the air over the street) is upstairs and that is the ONLY place where you can get your badge and get into the convention.
The NINJA ROOM is where the smash events weill be held. Please get there ASAP.
if you have any questions, post
