Location
Bethany Pembroke Chapel
19901 Burt Rd, Detroit, MI 48219
Do not walk in the front door. Go through the side door where the parking lot is.
The parking lot has a fence around it, and there will be security in the lot. Don't worry about random thugs breaking into your car.
IMPORTANT: the church's security team won't be there for the entire time we're there, so when they leave, I will have the fence closed for safety. If you need to leave, or if you're showing up late, PLEASE LET ME KNOW so I can open the fence for you.
*Venue Rules*
This is very important. Lack of enforcement of venue rules in Apasher's Melee Montlies #1 costed the old venue.
1) CLEAN UP MESS WEATHER IT'S YOURS OR NOT.
2) NO DRUGS/ALCOHOL IN THE VENUE. That also includes the venue's outside area. Do your business elsewhere.
3) RESPECT THE VENUE. That means no trashing bathrooms, stealing venue material, or breaking venue material.
4) VIOLENCE IS PROHIBITED. If any fights break out, or if weapons are seen in possession, you will be kicked out by the TO's.
5) DO NOT STEAL EQUIPMENT THAT BELONGS TO OTHERS. If we catch you attempting to steal something that does not belong to you, you will be kicked out by the TO's.

* Items OFF and NONE
* Meta Knight’s infinite dimensional cape tactic is banned. All other infinites and chain grabs are legal.
* The Ledge Grab Limit is 35 for all characters. If a game goes to time and one player exceeds the Ledge Grab Limit, they automatically lose the game. If both players exceed the Ledge Grab Limit, then this rule is ignored.
* 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:
** If a game goes to time, the player who has less percentage wins.
** 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 1 stock 3:00 minute rematch will be played on the same stage with a Ledge Grab Limit of 15 for all characters.
* The act of stalling is banned: 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.
* Dave's Stupid Rule: You cannot counterpick any stage you have won on in a set unless agreed upon by the opponent.

Get here on time! If you're late, call a tournament organizer (TO for short) and we'll try to work something out. Do not call asking for directions, it's your job to view/print the maps we provided.
