Project M Rules
(Stagelist subject to change)

* 4 stock, 8:00 minute timer
* All items set to OFF and item frequency set to NONE
* Input Assist set to OFF.
* Ties after the time limit are determined by stocks, then by percentage.
* Dave’s Stupid Rule: You cannot counterpick any stage you have won on in a set unless agreed upon by the opponent.

Stage Strike from Starters for the first match of the set in “1221″ fashion:
1. First player strikes one stage.
2. Second player strikes the next two stages.
3. First player strikes one stage.

Stagelist:

Bottom row is neutral stages. Legal counter-pick stages will be the first page of the stage selection screen (Metal Cavern, Castle Siege, Halberd, Pokemon Stadium 1, Skyloft, and Norfair are Banned).

After each match:
1. Winner announces three (3) stage bans
2. Loser chooses counterpick stage
3. Winner chooses their character
4. Loser chooses their character

Additional Rules:

* Player’s Choice Clause: You may play by a rule outside of this ruleset if your opponent agrees to it as long as it does not deliberately delay the tournament process. In the event of a disagreement, house rules stand.
* Double Blind Character Picks: Players may elect to double blind pick their characters for the first match in case of any disputes.
* Neutral Spawn Points: Players may elect to use neutral spawn points to decide controller ports for the first match in case of any disputes.
* Glitches: Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in forfeiture of the 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.

Doubles-Specific Rules:
* Life stealing is allowed
* Friendly Fire is turned ON
* Pause is turned OFF


Cactuar Stamina Pancake Rules

Cactuar (by Cactuar)
- Best of 7
- Random stage from everything except Icicle Mountain and Hyrule Temple

Stamina (by Nintendo)
- Stamina Mode

Pancake (by Zjiin)
- Random characters
- Starting with the winner from the last game, each player may decide to "flip" either character, meaning re-random them.
- For the first match, decide randomly who flips first (via rock-paper-scissors).

Rules Clarifications
- If Zelda is randomed, re-random again to determine if you got Zelda or Sheik. The top 2 rows = Zelda, the bottom row = Sheik. This makes it very rare to have sheik, since she destroys low tier characters.
- Select pichu before randoming. This is done to prevent disputes getting the same character twice in a row. If you "accidentally" hit B to repick Pichu, you are stuck with him.
- If you can't tell who won the match, replay the game.
- Wobbling is LEGAL.


Divekick AE Rules
- All rounds are Bo5
- Double blind first match (both character and gem if necessary)
- Character lock for the winner, loser can counter pick
- Winner picks gem first

Fixed the date. We might be running some other side tournaments if there is time / interest. These might include Mystery Game, Mario Bros Battle, or Tower Fall.

I don't know if it's some kinda tag or something (never created a tourney on here), but this tourney doesn't seem to be appearing the midwest when you filter it for that. I can only seem to find the thread when I just go into regular Tournament Listings without filtering.

I'll probably come, but I won't be able to get there until like 2:05. Is there some way I can pre-register and then hope I get there in time? PM shouldn't be a problem. It's Melee I'm worried about.

Solution. Google search instead.

It's looking like Divekick AE might not be out in time for this. If that's the case, we'll replace the tournament with something else, most likely Mario Bros Battle or Towerfall.

I should be able to make it up there with my PC, which means Towerfall is an option. As is either 1v1 or 2v2 Mystery. I should have enough games for either Mystery option.

Awesome, great to hear @Hogosha and Xtra! Hogosha, mystery game would be amazing, but I'm not sure we'll have time. If we are doing well on schedule (lol smashbros tournaments) I'd love to fit it in. Towerfall would be an awesome casual setup though.

We will try to get NBA Jam back at a future IMDB (maybe next one?), but just don't have time this time. I'm thinking the summer would be a good time, since I think there's more interest then.

So far we got Xtra Zicore Hogosha and Tapion. It's a shame Lonejedi isn't going to be here.

Just as an FYI, the venue will be open at 11 AM, and Melee Teams will start at 12:00. That means I'll be collecting sign-ups starting at quarter to.

P:M Teams bracket will start around 12:30 - 1:00.

dungles just a heads up you should look at the pools after you make them, that was not a fun tournament for me at all.
It's not unusual for me to get seeded like I'm a noob in madison, but come on...

Yeah sorry for the crappy pools. I ton of stuff went wrong at this one, really poorly run overall. I'm not sure if I'll be running another tournament, this one was a trainwreck.

Thanks to all the people that showed up. I'll be posting results tonight.

I don't think it was THAT bad dungles, don't beat yourself up about it :(
Wish we could've streamed more CSP is the only thing I wished had happened differently, but I guess it was kind of difficult with PM being run at essentially the same time.
