Alright, so I am hosting this tourney in celebration of me finally getting my License! WOOT!

Arcade Odyssey is an amazing Arcade equipped with a multitude of Old-School, and Modern Arcade games. They have two Restrooms, Male/Female, in great condition, no more repulsive Zero Ping nonsense. On top of these great characteristics, they have 7 Televisions that we can use for Brawl Set-ups. These will all be used throughout the night and allow the tourney to run smoothly. So you can watch/play fun arcade games while waiting for your match. Lastly, they have a McDonalds right across the street, Chinese next door, and other great restaurants. This is an amazing venue, and I hope you are interested to come.

It will be held on March, 30th, 2013.

Location:

Arcade Odyssey:
  • 12045 SW 117th ave, Miami, Florida 33186
Schedule:

12:00 P:M: Arcade Odyssey Opens
12:00 P:M: Doubles & Singles Registration Starts
2:00 P:M: Doubles Starts
5:00 P:M: Singles Starts (Will start earlier if 60+ entrants enter.) EVERYONE IS STUPID

The rule set shall be APEX 2013 rules, but with a FEW changes.


General Rules:

~3 Stocks

~8 Minute Time Limit

~Items set to “Off” and “None”

~Pause set to “Off”

~Meta Knight’s infinite dimensional cape tactic is banned.

~All infinites and chain grabs are legal.

~There is a 35 Ledge Grab Limit for all characters. If a game goes to time and one player goes over the Ledge Grab Limit for their character, they will automatically lose the game. If both players exceed their Ledge Grab Limit, then this rule is ignored.

~The act of stalling is banned: stalling is intentionally making the game unplayable: Such as becoming invisible, continuing infinites, chain grabs, or uninterrupted moves past 300%, and reaching a position that your opponent can never reach you.

~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.

~If the Ledge Grab Limit does not declare one player the winner, the winner will be declared by what the game says in all situations, except for when players are presented with sudden death:
-In the event of a match going to time, the winner will be determined by who has less percent (stock difference still takes priority but will be shown in the results screen).
-If the match ends with both players dying at the same time coincidentally, or if time ran out with both players at equal percent, a one stock three minute rematch will be played on the same stage. For a tie-breaker match, a Ledge Grab Limit of 15 is used for all characters.
-If a match is ended via suicide move, the initiator of the move wins.

~COACHING IS ALLOWED.
~Players are to attend their matches at the designated times they are called. If you are late to a match, the following rules will be applied based on the amount of time:
-If you are 5 minutes late: Results in a match loss
-If you are 10 minutes late: Results in a set loss
-These times will be strictly enforced to make sure that each player will enjoy the full event on a timely manner.

^^^YES I AM DOING THIS^^^


Modified Doubles Rules:

~Team Attack set to “On”

~Double Meta Knight is banned

~Life stealing is allowed

~In the event of a game reaching the time limit, if a single player on a team exceeds their Ledge Grab Limit, that team loses. If one or more players on both teams exceed their Ledge Grab Limit, then the Ledge Grab Limit rule is ignored.
In the event of a game going to time and the Ledge Grab Limit can not determine a winner and both teams have an equal amount of combined stocks, then whichever team has a lower combined percent is declared the winner.

~If a player is using the character Pokemon Trainer, Lucario, or Sonic, either team may request that team colors be changed to make it easier to tell the difference between team players.

ATTENTION!!! NEW UPDATE AS OF 3/14/13!!!
I will be collecting donations all day at the Venue for Mink's "Come to Papa 4", which is going to potentially be a Florida National. These donations will go toward a Pot Bonus for Out of State interest. Please, donate 1, 2 maybe even 5 dollars. Help the cause, aid the first potential successful Florida National in years. =D​

All MK if I attend.
So..... Not Mid-Tier Doubles???

lol 8bitman $100 MM?
Lol don't waste your money like that Dylan. I have learned the R.O.B Ditto since then.


I personally would like Mid-Tier Doubles, but I WANT to do what will have more entrants.



I want you to post whether or not you are going to make it. I want a decently sized tourney, and so I know the turn-out before it happens.


Thank you for being interested CFL.

It doesn't take much money at all. You have a month and a half to save 30 - 40 bucks. If you can't save that much then, damn, I feel for ya.

Please 8bit, accept that money match. It'll make for something interesting.

If you're as good as you claim to be then withdraw from the ATM my friend.

I'll be here.

If anyone is possibly interested in a carpool, let me know. I'm leaving from Deland (an hour west of Orlando) and I'll be needing gas money.

Also, if me and whoever came up Thursday night or Friday who could we get housing with?

Seibrik? ;)

Wow, you live so far Awal. All of the housing for you, bro. Come down like a day or two early and chill with someone and train. If not, just make sure to bring all of Tally with you. =)
