-------------------------------------------------------------
Right, I know it's been long due, but finally, I'm proud to present:
The complete ruleset & Round 1 of pools for RoX4!!
Teams, Double Elimination Bracket, best of 3, 5, 7.
Singles, Pool play 16x8, then 8x8, and finally a 32 man Double Elimination Bracket.
Regional Battles, with each region forming a 10 man team to take on each other in 4 stock matches.
General Rules:
Stage Banning:
Before each set starts, both sides are allowed to strike one stage, disabling it from being used for the upcoming set. Note: It cannot be played at all, even if chosen on random.
Advanced Slob Picks:
After a game, the loser announces the next stage to be played, then the winner decides what character he's playing, and then the loser decides his character.
In short, loser picks stage, winner picks character, loser picks character.
Neutral stages:
Pokémon Stadium, Final Destination, Yoshi's Story, Dreamland 64, Fountain of Dreams. (In Teams Battlefield is used as a Neutral instead of FoD)
Counterpick stages:
Princess Peach's Castle, Corneria, Rainbow Ride, Jungle Japes, Green Greens, Brinstar, Onett, Mute City, Poké Floats, Battlefield, Kongo Jungle 64.
Helios' silly rule (HSR):
You cannot play the last stage you chose, nor the stage you last won.
Stage reset:
At the start of the set, you're allowed to reset the game if you're not happy with the random stage.
This can only be done for one stage, which then cannot be played as the first stage.
No stalling:
Peach bombing, rising pound and other stalling techniques are banned. Violation will result in a forfeit of the match.
Wobbling:
Wobbling is NOT banned. Cry me a river
Teams:
Due to frame dropping, Fountain of Dreams and Mute City are banned for teams. Battlefield takes FoD's place as a neutral stage.
Double Elimination
Stock: 4
Set: Best of 3, then 5, finals 7
Team Attack: On

Singles:

Round 1: 16 pools of 8 people, top 4 advance to round 2.
Round 2: 8 pools of 8 people, top 4 advance to a 32 man DE bracket.
In pools, the players with the most won matches will advance.
Ties are broken by number of losses, and after that by the result from their particular match.
In case of a three-way tie (or more), all involved players must play their matches again.
Stock: 4
Set: Best of 3

Advanced Slob Picks
Helios' Silly Rule
Regional Battles:
Each region forms a 10 man team, represented by a captain.
The teams are split up into pools of 3 or 4, where they all face each other.
Only the top ranking team in each pool advances to the grand finals.
Prior to each game, the captain has to present his team's roster, complete with everyone's characters and which player is starting. This list is handed to a judge, who makes sure neither team is cheating.
After each game, the next stage is chosen on random, and there are no stage bans or resets.
Changing characters is not allowed, so the team has to choose it's next player wisely.
Once a player loses all his 4 stock, the team sends their next player in, starting a new game with the winning player having the same amount of stock he had when the last game ended.
The players fight each other one on one, until one side has lost all its players.
Right, half way done! Let me give you the tentative pools for RoX4!!

Now, remember, players 1 through 4 in each pool are ranked in order, whereas the rest are just randomly placed, so don't go around crying 'cause you're at the bottom of your pool. Also, these pools might change at the actual tourney, based on who shows etc. Let me know if you're in the same pool as your best friend or something. If you feel like whining about your seed, prove yourself at the tourney, not to me on msn.
Now, over to something completely different:
Housing
I'd like to announce that since I'm no longer going to Holland, I'm free to house people from after the tourney until whenever you go home. You'll still have to pay for your own food and travelling, naturally, but at least you'll have somewhere to sleep (if, however, you manage to bring something to sleep on )
Thus, I'd like to announce that we're having a BBQ at my house friday night after the tourney, with plenty of good food and drinks to celebrate 5 amazing years of smash! =)
That's it folks, see ya in a week!! (or a couple of hours, which is the case for some people ._.)
Also.... ZZOMG 3500th post!!!
Right, time for a proper update!
It's been long due, but finally I give you RoX4, with (almost ) all the information you'll ever need!
General Information:
RoX4 takes place at the same venue as last year, in central Varberg. It's conveniently located in the centre of Varberg, close to restaurants, supermarkets and snack bars. The address is as follows:
Ungdomens Hus
Drottningg. 27
43241 VARBERG
SWEDEN
Due to limited space we will be renting a separate venue solely for accomodation during the tournament, so there should be plenty of room for everyone. There will be certain hours during which you get access to these rooms, so make sure you don't linger too long before going to bed. Where the venue is located will be announced shortly, and the time schedule for sleeping hours will be given at the tournament.
Just like always, you're expected to bring your own stuff, such as sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, etc. You will have access to a kitchen, so it's possible to do prepare your own food, although Tin and Onito will be cooking several meals a day for anyone who wants food.
Due to all the big changes since last time, we're forced to raise the entry fee somewhat. For a reasonable €35 (350 SEK) you get TWO venues, tons of sponsors and prizes, plenty of gaming setups, some of the best match ups European smash has ever seen, and four days full of smashing fun!

Some clarifications:
The complete ruleset, as for stages and such, has yet to be decided. Teams will be played in double elimination, 64 man bracket. Singles will be two rounds of RR, first 16 pools of 8 players, then 8 x 8. Top 32 advance into a DE bracket.
Regionals will be played in either 10v10 or 7v7, depending on how many people actually show up.
The prize money will be be distributed as follows:
1/3 for singles, 2/3 for teams.
Yes, for the first time, the team champions will get the money they deserve! :O
Singles:
1. 40%
2. 25%
3. 15%
4. 10%
5. 5%, 5%
7. 300 SEK, 300 SEK
9. 100 SEK, 100 SEK, 100 SEK, 100 SEK
Teams:
1. 40%
2. 25%
3. 15%
4. 10%
5. 5%, 5%
Extra:
As you might've heard, this year we've been working hard on getting sponsors, and it has paid off well.
We'll be seeing prizes from Ljud&Bild, Biospecialisten, and some others yet to be confirmed, and there'll be a special visit during one of the days that's sure to please any gamer!
All entrants will also receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win in our special lottery!
(no, the idea didn't come from you, Zest guys)
Prizes will be provided by our sponsors, for a total value of several hundreds of euros! =)
There'll be about 200 raffle tickets in total, so if you're fast you'll be able to get your hands on additional tickets for something like €5 each
So yeah, that's about all I've got at the moment. Anything else?

Right, this is turning into an annual thing! I hope to see everyone from past events again, aswell as new faces! I've also seen plenty of american/japanese interest, which is pretty promising! =)
For now, all I can give you is a possible date, location and some fun side events =)
First off, I'd like to give you all a preview of what Sweden has to offer =)
There! Sweeeeedeeeeeen..... <3
Now on to the tourney stuff:
Basically, what we've been working on is a cooperation between the dutch and the swedish smash communities to have TWO major tournaments in a ROW. One in sweden, one in holland.
So, if you ever felt like going to Europe, and you haven't figured it out yet, here's a hint:
This is the opportunity you've been waiting for
Basically, the plans so far are the following:
First tournament, the Renaissance of Smash 4, July 3-6.
This is a mid-week 4-day event, so that everyone can enjoy themselves in beautiful Gothenburg on the weekends before/after the tourney.
Other activites include visits to the beach (OMG HOT SWEDISH BLONDES), clubbing (OMG HOT SWEDISH BLONDES), a trip to the famous amusement park (OMGHSB), shopping (OM.. you get the idea), and so on =)
Sweden, and especially Gothenburg, has a lot to offer in the summer, and you will definitely appreciate the girls here ^^ (OMG HOT SWEDISH BLONDES!!!)
Well, I guess that's good for starters.
Here's a short recap of the essential stuff:
What?
Europes only major tournament this summer
Where?
SWEDEN (home of smashers Ek, Helios, Svampen etc, HOT BLONDES, ABBA, liberal view on alcohol, etc etc)
When?
July 3-6th

Princess Peach's Castle, Corneria, Rainbow Ride, Jungle Japes, Green Greens, Brinstar, Onett, Mute City, Poké Floats, Battlefield, Kongo Jungle 64.
Helios' silly rule (HSR):
You cannot play the last stage you chose, nor the stage you last won.
Stage reset:
At the start of the set, you're allowed to reset the game if you're not happy with the random stage.
This can only be done for one stage, which then cannot be played as the first stage.
No stalling:
Peach bombing, rising pound and other stalling techniques are banned. Violation will result in a forfeit of the match.
Wobbling:
Wobbling is NOT banned. Cry me a river
Teams:
Due to frame dropping, Fountain of Dreams and Mute City are banned for teams. Battlefield takes FoD's place as a neutral stage.

Regional Battles:
Each region forms a 10 man team, represented by a captain.
The teams are split up into pools of 3 or 4, where they all face each other.
Only the top ranking team in each pool advances to the grand finals.
Prior to each game, the captain has to present his team's roster, complete with everyone's characters and which player is starting. This list is handed to a judge, who makes sure neither team is cheating.
After each game, the next stage is chosen on random, and there are no stage bans or resets.
Changing characters is not allowed, so the team has to choose it's next player wisely.
Once a player loses all his 4 stock, the team sends their next player in, starting a new game with the winning player having the same amount of stock he had when the last game ended.
The players fight each other one on one, until one side has lost all its players.
Right, half way done! Let me give you the tentative pools for RoX4!!

Now, remember, players 1 through 4 in each pool are ranked in order, whereas the rest are just randomly placed, so don't go around crying 'cause you're at the bottom of your pool. Also, these pools might change at the actual tourney, based on who shows etc. Let me know if you're in the same pool as your best friend or something. If you feel like whining about your seed, prove yourself at the tourney, not to me on msn.
Now, over to something completely different:
Housing
I'd like to announce that since I'm no longer going to Holland, I'm free to house people from after the tourney until whenever you go home. You'll still have to pay for your own food and travelling, naturally, but at least you'll have somewhere to sleep (if, however, you manage to bring something to sleep on
)Thus, I'd like to announce that we're having a BBQ at my house friday night after the tourney, with plenty of good food and drinks to celebrate 5 amazing years of smash! =)
That's it folks, see ya in a week!! (or a couple of hours, which is the case for some people ._.)
Also.... ZZOMG 3500th post!!!
Right, time for a proper update!
It's been long due, but finally I give you RoX4, with (almost
) all the information you'll ever need!General Information:
RoX4 takes place at the same venue as last year, in central Varberg. It's conveniently located in the centre of Varberg, close to restaurants, supermarkets and snack bars. The address is as follows:
Ungdomens Hus
Drottningg. 27
43241 VARBERG
SWEDEN
Due to limited space we will be renting a separate venue solely for accomodation during the tournament, so there should be plenty of room for everyone. There will be certain hours during which you get access to these rooms, so make sure you don't linger too long before going to bed. Where the venue is located will be announced shortly, and the time schedule for sleeping hours will be given at the tournament.
Just like always, you're expected to bring your own stuff, such as sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, etc. You will have access to a kitchen, so it's possible to do prepare your own food, although Tin and Onito will be cooking several meals a day for anyone who wants food.
Due to all the big changes since last time, we're forced to raise the entry fee somewhat. For a reasonable €35 (350 SEK) you get TWO venues, tons of sponsors and prizes, plenty of gaming setups, some of the best match ups European smash has ever seen, and four days full of smashing fun!

Some clarifications:
The complete ruleset, as for stages and such, has yet to be decided. Teams will be played in double elimination, 64 man bracket. Singles will be two rounds of RR, first 16 pools of 8 players, then 8 x 8. Top 32 advance into a DE bracket.
Regionals will be played in either 10v10 or 7v7, depending on how many people actually show up.
The prize money will be be distributed as follows:
1/3 for singles, 2/3 for teams.
Yes, for the first time, the team champions will get the money they deserve! :O
Singles:
1. 40%
2. 25%
3. 15%
4. 10%
5. 5%, 5%
7. 300 SEK, 300 SEK
9. 100 SEK, 100 SEK, 100 SEK, 100 SEK
Teams:
1. 40%
2. 25%
3. 15%
4. 10%
5. 5%, 5%
Extra:
As you might've heard, this year we've been working hard on getting sponsors, and it has paid off well.
We'll be seeing prizes from Ljud&Bild, Biospecialisten, and some others yet to be confirmed, and there'll be a special visit during one of the days that's sure to please any gamer!
All entrants will also receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win in our special lottery!
(no, the idea didn't come from you, Zest guys
)Prizes will be provided by our sponsors, for a total value of several hundreds of euros! =)
There'll be about 200 raffle tickets in total, so if you're fast you'll be able to get your hands on additional tickets for something like €5 each
So yeah, that's about all I've got at the moment. Anything else?

Right, this is turning into an annual thing! I hope to see everyone from past events again, aswell as new faces! I've also seen plenty of american/japanese interest, which is pretty promising! =)
For now, all I can give you is a possible date, location and some fun side events =)
First off, I'd like to give you all a preview of what Sweden has to offer =)
There! Sweeeeedeeeeeen..... <3
Now on to the tourney stuff:
Basically, what we've been working on is a cooperation between the dutch and the swedish smash communities to have TWO major tournaments in a ROW. One in sweden, one in holland.
So, if you ever felt like going to Europe, and you haven't figured it out yet, here's a hint:
This is the opportunity you've been waiting for
Basically, the plans so far are the following:
First tournament, the Renaissance of Smash 4, July 3-6.
This is a mid-week 4-day event, so that everyone can enjoy themselves in beautiful Gothenburg on the weekends before/after the tourney.
Other activites include visits to the beach (OMG HOT SWEDISH BLONDES), clubbing (OMG HOT SWEDISH BLONDES), a trip to the famous amusement park (OMGHSB), shopping (OM.. you get the idea), and so on =)
Sweden, and especially Gothenburg, has a lot to offer in the summer, and you will definitely appreciate the girls here ^^ (OMG HOT SWEDISH BLONDES!!!)
Well, I guess that's good for starters.
Here's a short recap of the essential stuff:
What?
Europes only major tournament this summer
Where?
SWEDEN (home of smashers Ek, Helios, Svampen etc, HOT BLONDES, ABBA, liberal view on alcohol, etc etc)
When?
July 3-6th
More info will be given at a later point. Any questions?
