Smash Champion
TOURNAMENT HAS BEEN CANCELED. IT JUST ISN'T GOING TO WORK OUT. PLEASE DON'T ASK WHY, I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO IT.
i'm holding a super smash brothers melee tournament! I know we got a big smash brothers community here, so i'm holding a tourney. heres the 411:
1st off, this is a fundraiser for the church. When you only have about 7 people for sunday night service, it's kinda lean on cash for the bills, so we're trying to raise some money to help with the bills. Extra Donations aren't necessary, but are appreciated if you do decide to donate extra.
2nd off, before the tournament starts, we'll all go upstairs, i'm going to stand behind the pulpit and read the rules to you all so i can make sure you all have heard them, so you won't have any reason for breaking them. (I.E., "i didn't hear them".) and pay attention when i'm talking, 'cause i don't want to have to shout to get your attention.
Snacks/Beverages:
It would be helpful it you would bring some snacks. Potato chips, pretzels, pop, (bring a mix of diet and regular if you bring any, and also, they don't have to be 2-liters. if you find a sale in your area and you are buying some, they can be in the cans or bottles.) But if they are, we have an extra garbage can, so i'll put a bag in and you can just throw in your empty cans/bottles. We just want some stuff to snack on in between matches and if you lose and you're watching. So please please PLEASE bring snacks!
Match Recording:
I'd like to record the matches, but i don't have a video camera. So anybody with a camera if they would talk to me here and tell me how to record it, i'd appreciate it, so then i can plan accordingly. Also, anybody who has a video camera to record matches, let me know so i can keep a head count on who had one and who doesn't. 'cause i really want to get some footage of this, since it's my first tournament.

Info:
Location: Freedom Bible Baptist Church
652 Maple, Wyandotte, Michigan. (Area Code: 48192)
Entry Fee: $15
Cover Charge: $5. (Which means if you come and don't want to play, you only pay 5 bucks to get in. if you play though, fork over the other $10)
Date: (Still Planning)
Time: Probably try to get everybody there at 12:30-1:00 PM, and we'll have some warm-up matches, then start the tourney at about 1:30-2:00 PM.. that will also give us time to get set up and take care of problems and lay down the rules and stuff. it will more than likely end at about 6:00-8:00 PM, so it would be helpful if you brought a few bucks extra, 'cause there's a little ceasars pizza right down the road. so if we do pizza for supper, we'll get all that at around 4:30.
Prizes: (THIS IS IF WE GET 20 PEOPLE TO SHOW UP. MORE PEOPLE, MORE PRIZE MONEY, SO THIS IS PRIZE MONEY IF WE GET 20 PEOPLE)
1st place: $100
2nd place: $50
3rd place: $25
Now i'm just kinda throwing this out there. this isn't necessary, but if you guys want, you can bring some stuff for prizes. Like if you want to donate something for a prize, (as in a new controller, game or whatnot) let me know VIA PM on here, and i'll see what i can do. Like if you have some jewelry that you had given to you and never wore, or stuff like that, PM me and let me know what it either looks like, or send me a picture, and i'll see what i can do. I'm not saying it's necessary, it's just kinda nice to give an opportunity to sweeten the pot a bit.

BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER, MEMORY CARD, AND COPY OF SMASH BROTHERS MELEE.

Game Rules:
1:Traditional stage rules apply. But we have all the stages that we don't like turned off, 'cause we usually pick random if we can't absolutely decide on a stage.
2:SINGLES ONLY. IT'LL BE EASIER FOR US, AND IN THE FUTURE, WE WILL DO TEAMS, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST DOING SINGLES.
3:Matches are best out of three.
4:Since we're doing singles, before you just go and pick a stage, both players must decide on the stage they battle in.
5:No items.
6:No glitches like Mewtwo's "soul stunner", and the ice climbers freeze glitch, that kinda stuff. if you do it, you are kicked out of the tournament. if we even suspect you TRYING to do it, you're out of the tournament.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Rules (yes, we will enforce all rules also)
No drinking. We don't allow alcohol on the church premises. If i see one drop, you'll be thrown out of the tournament and out of the church property.
No smoking. No smoking inside the church. If you absolutely gotta have a smoke, take it outside, and you have to take it across the street. it's a pain to pick up cigarette butts. kapeesh?
No swearing/cursing/cussing/vulgar language ETC. We want this to be good clean fun. I've been around a ton of people where a few curse words were exchanged and a big fight was started, so no swearing at all. also no terms like "I ***** YOU MAN!!!" Just say something like, "You just got owned." or "I just beat you! Hoo-hah!"
You make a mess, you clean it up. Nice and simple. don't let it sit there, clean it up! We do have service the next day, so if a few of you guys could stick around afterwards to help put up cube and tv's and pick up trash that might be left, (there better not be any) it would be helpful.
If you lose in the tournament, and you are watching other people play, don't walk by and start screaming and all that. it breaks the players focus, and i have seen matches lost because somebody flinched and lost their train of thought and concentration. If you want to talk, kinda talk low, quietly if people are playing. we have another room adjacent to the basement, (the kitchen) where you can go and talk if you aren't playing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and that's it. that's the rules right there. also, there will be an entry sheet at the door, so i can keep track of who's signed in or not.
currently we'd have about 20-25 people. anybody else? i need people!
NOTE: right now it's just strictly smash, but I might add street fighter, or mario kart double dash, or some other games if people want. we don't do "m" rated games though. sorry, pastor's rules.
