On December 22nd, a battle enthralled,
Between the strongest of the the strong, to find the strongest of all.
48 people journeyed to test their skills
From the swamps of Louisiana to the Californian hills.
One man named Wobbles climbed to claim first,
As climbing is natural to the Ice Climbers.
I suck at poetry and don't know what to say,
but this time Texas will surely seize the day!
Venue
Texadelphia (http://www.texadelphia.com/find-a-location/houston/12)
6025 Westheimer Road
Houston, TX 77057
We will have an entire rather large room to ourselves, plenty of onsite parking, and NO VENUE FEE (keep in mind that the venue is free under the assumption that some people who attend the tournament will buy food/drinks here, so eating here is highly encouraged. The food is great, I highly recommend their queso.)
Doors open at 12:00, and tournament registration will end at 1:30, SO GET THERE BEFORE 1:30. The tournament will then start as soon as brackets are made.
Tournament Rules
- The number of stock is set to 4
- The time limit is set to 8 minutes

- Double Elimination
- All sets are best of 3, except semi-finals and finals rounds (in winners and losers), which are best of 5
- FOR BEST OF 5 MATCHES- Dave's stupid rule: A player cannot counter pick a stage they have previously won on in a set. However, there are no bans. (there are bans for best of 3 matches)
- Blind Picks: the first character selection of a set must be without prior knowledge of the opponent's character selection for both players.
- Timed out matches will be determined by the remaining number of lives, then percentage of the current stock. In the event of a stock and percentage tie, a one-stock match will be played.
- Wobbling is allowed except when used to excessively stall a match

Last tournament was a huge success, with roughly 60 or so people at the venue. The videos are all here. Let's make this one even better!! Bring setups! Eat at the venue! NO LATE ENTRIES, SO SHOW UP ON TIME, DOORS OPEN AT 12:00, REGISTRATION ENDS AT 1:30. Let me know if I left anything out!
I had assumed all this, but just wanted to confirm. One final question (for now, at least), is there a size minimum for the tvs? I can bring possibly two full setups, maybe three.
