Venue Update:
I have some good news everybody! After much deliberation, I made the decission to change the venue so as to relieve us of a door fee. I have spent the whole week communicating with the venue hosts, during this time they have been trying to raise the door fee to an unfair amount ($8 per person). It was a tough decision on my part considering past experiences, but I felt it was the best move for all involved.
The tournament is now being held at my house. This evening I will be going through preparations so we can maximize the space avaliable to us. Because of this, we now have access to a big screen T.V. that we can use for finals, crew battles, etc.
I appreciate your consideration in this matter and I hope tomorrow goes as planned.
Sorry for the last minute notice.

Rules (Apply to both singles/teams)
-Double elimination
-Games are best out of 3 with advanced slob picks and dave's stupid rule. ALL semi-final and final games(This includes loser bracket semis, loser bracket finals, winner bracket semi, winner bracket finals, and overall finals) are 3/5. Overall finals are 3/5, and the person/team coming up from the loser bracket has to win two sets because the person/team from the winners bracket has yet to lose a set.
Advanced Slob Picks:
First game is double-blind, random stage (using the 6 random stages). Second game, loser(s) declares stage (which includes any non-banned stage), winner(s) picks their character, loser(s) picks their character. You can pick the same character twice, three times, whatever, in a row.
Dave's Stupid Rule:
You cannot counterpick the last stage that you won on in the current set.
-4 stock/8 minute/no items format. Any ties that occur when time is finished are settled by stock/%. If there is STILL a tie, sudden death occurs.
-Stage striking is allowed, at the start of a set, both players may temporarily ban a stage from the list of playable stages. This, of course, only applies to that set.
-Pause Rule: Pause is left on, in case something comes up where players need to quit the current game. But pausing during a match without reason to will result in a warning, and if the problem persists a game loss. Then a match loss. Then a drop from the tournament.
-Stage selection is as follows
Singles random select stages: Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams, Dreamland 64 & Pokemon Stadium
Doubles random select stages: Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Rainbow Cruise, Dreamland 64 & Pokemon Stadium, DK64
Stages not listed on the random select list that are not banned are open for counter picks by the losing player.
Stages banned for Singles Only: Great Bay and Mushroom Kingdom 2
Stages banned for Doubles Only: Fountain of Dreams and Mute City
Stages banned for Singles & Doubles: Yoshi’s Island (Pipes), Fourside, Hyrule Temple, Flatzone, Brinstar Depths, Icicle Mountain, Big Blue, Mushroom Kingdom 1, Venom, Yoshi's Island 64, Peach’s Castle, and Kongo Jungle
Rules (Team specific)
-Team attack is on
-Life Stealing allowed, but please wait until the announcer has declared you're eliminated, or for the camera shift to focus on the remaining players, so you won't pause the game.
- Seating: Each team gets two seats on one side, so that each team will be seated next to their partner and each team will have an equal view of the screen.
Rules (Other)
-Players may have a coach that can give advice to a player for one minute in-between games. As soon as the stage is declared, the coach may not be consulted until after the game finishes.
-Glitches that freeze a character, freeze the game, or simply make the game unfinishable are banned and using them will result in losing the entire set.
-Wallbombing and Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery. Stalling a game out will result in a loss of the entire set.
-Bring your own controller
-Refrain from using profanity, fights are to be taken outside, and just try to make the tournament enjoyable for others.
-Money matches and friendly games: If TVs are open, feel free to. However, if a TV is needed, you need to exit the game. Turn the pause on before you start your game and turn it off when it's over. It is also suggested you get money matches and friendlies out of the way during warmup time, if possible.
