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.

• • Any coaching that happens during the match (but not in between matches) is restricted. Players who violate this rule will receive a warning (BOTH the player AND the person coaching the player) on the first attempt. Players who violate this rule after a warning will be disqualified from the event and a possible ejection from the venue.
  • 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

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.

Set Procedure

1. Player Priority is determined if it can not be agreed on. (See below for details)
2. Each Team selects one controller port to use for each Player.
3. Each Team selects one character for each Player. A double blind pick may be called by any player.
4. The first game is played on a Stage selected from the Starter Stage List either by mutual consent or through the Stage Striking Method. The order of stage striking will be 1-2-1 (Team 1 strikes one stage, followed by Team 2 striking two stages, with Team 1 then striking one of the two remaining stages).
5. The first match is played.
6. The team that lost the previous match may opt to re-pick controller ports (with themselves picking first).
7. The Team that won the previous match may announce one “Stage Ban” if they have not already done so in this set.
8. The Team that lost the previous match announces the stage for the next match from either the Starter or the Counter-pick Stage List. Any Stage named as a “Stage Ban” by the either Team may not be selected. No Stage may be used by a Team that has already won on that Stage in this set.
9. The Team that won the previous match chooses one character for each Player.
10. The Team that lost the previous match chooses one character for each Player.
11. The next match is played.
12. Repeat steps 6-11 for all proceeding matches.

Determining Player Priority
If there is a dispute in controller port selection or initiating Stage Strike use the following method:
Teams will use a random method such as Rock-Paper-Scissors, Coin Flip, or Game and Watch Judgment, where the winner selects either first choice in port selection or first choice in stage striking. Whichever team does not receive first choice in port selection will be compensated with first choice in stage striking.
Note: In Doubles, port selection is ordered 1-2-2-1 fashion (with Team-1 having first choice in controller slot select, Team-2 having both second and third choice, and the final slot going to Team-1).

Conduct Rules

• • DSR: A player/team may not counter-pick to the stage they have won on in the current set.
  • Gentleman’s Clause: Any stage may be played on if both players agree to it. This rule takes priority over DSR
  • No scrooging (player may travel under the stage only once from the ledge)
  • * “Traveling under the stage once from the ledge” is defined as dropping off the ledge on one side of the stage and reaching the height of the original ledge on the other side of the stage.
  • Corollaries to Rule 6:
  • * When one of the players is attacked by the other and takes damage, Rule 6 does not apply.
  • * The moving platform on Smashville is considered to be equivalent to a ledge, i.e. if a player starts from the moving platform on one side of the stage and travels beneath the stage to the ledge/platform on the opposite side of the stage, the player may not travel beneath the stage back to the ledge/moving platform on the opposite side before until he lands back on the platform.
  • *If a player is found to be performing the act of scrooging by a tournament organizer (by his/her discretion), the player will forfeit that match.
  • In the event pause is left on accidentally and is pressed, immediately call over the TO. Based upon their judgment, the situation will be resolved. If your situation is neutral [players are not in combat], the match will be resumed as if the pause had not occurred. If your situation is advantageous to one individual and the player in the disadvantageous situation paused, the disadvantaged player will be either placed in a grab or onto the ledge of the stage. If a player in a death situation [Chain grabs, Grab releases, Jab-locks to a kill move, etc] paused while in a death situation, the current stock is forfeited immediately. If you unpause before the TO reaches the station, the player that unpaused losses a stock.
  • Players who use the Wii Remote must take the batteries out of the Wii Remote when not playing. If the Wii Remote is still synced up to a Wii with the batteries in, you could unintentionally disrupt a match. If problems persist, a DQ may happen.
  • You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility (including battery issues with a Wii Remote), so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you’re using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. Both parties need to agree if a match is to be paused or restarted because of these problems.
  • The tournament organizer has the right to save/record any tournament match if possible and has the right to upload said match.
  • Regarding Hacks: You will be asked to declare any hacks that you plan on using at the time of registration. Whether or not your hacks are legal are at the sole discretion of the TO. Your SD card WILL be examined at registration. If a hack is present that a player has not been declared or a player, that player may be disqualified.

• • Your .GCT (Gecko codeset) will be overwritten at registration by the TO if you decide to utilize hacks. The Gecko codes included in this .GCT will be:

• 1. File Patch Code v3.5.1
• 2. Custom Shield Colors (Optional)
• 3. Over 3-Minute Replays
• 4. Save Tags in Replays
• 5. Default Settings Modifier

• Hacks that are allowed include MINOR stage and character edits. Mods such as the popular “Beachville” or different colored characters (ex: a zebra-striped Kirby, a white-furred Diddy, etc...) are examples of texture-only or minor edits.
• Custom music is allowed, but please keep the language appropriate.
• Intrusive model, vertex, or other hacks that influence either character geometry or stage properties are NOT ALLOWED.

• All players reserve the right to play without any hacks whatsoever, regardless of whether hacks are considered legal or not.

​

DECORUM​

• No alcohol or illegal substances. If you show up and I suspect you may be under the influence of anything consumed prior to the event, you may be asked to leave. SECURITY WILL BE PRESENT AT THIS EVENT
• No fighting, horseplay, or other disruptive activities
• Obey the TO on TV, recording, and streaming decisions
• The TO reserves the right to eject players or deny payouts for actions detrimental to the tournament
• If you're tardy, you're DQ'd from the bracket
• All ejections are without a refund

WARNING! READ THIS
In an effort to run Fight Pitt IV as smoothly as possible, I will be tightening up my work as an organizer.

If you do not preregister online, you have until 12 PM SHARP the day of to register. If you do preregister, you are expected to be READY TO PLAY by the time your event starts.

If you delay a match due to friendlies, money matches, whatever, I will disqualify you regardless of player stature.

If you arrive at the venue drunk or high, expect to be kicked out.

STREAMING:
We'll be streaming w/ dual commentary at http://twitch.tv/vgbootcamp​

 

[Wronskian-Physics]

You should have called it Smash Pitt. If you're going to fight Pitt you might as well smash Pitt. Specifically Marth's tipper fsmash.
jk/

Wow look how snazzy the Union looks in that picture. This is great, I'll see if I can bring my set up to this one.

 

[mordicon]

This will be great. I have some friends who may start coming to the club and will probably come to this too. This is Brian from the club.

 

[PGH Carroll]

Im coming up with a better name for this,
CARRROLL IS ON THE CASE

 

[bearsfan092]

But Carroll, like 100 percent of the names you came up with suck.

Except Space Jam Monthlies.

 

[takieddine]

I'll be bringing a few setups...

 

[Machiavelli]

+1 for space jams monthlies

 

[boognish]

this is me expressing interest in brawl. a lot of interest. i can also bring a full set-up when i come. but i won't come to melee because it's a decent drive for something i haveno chance in

 

[Abate]

I will be there with a setup.

Also, the venue should be called UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Melee Center)

 

[HariKyuubi]

I can bring half a Brawl setup if the game is added. Probably starting May though. But April's possible, depending on when Brawl singles would theoretically start.

Monthlies in Pittsburgh would make my day. <3

 

[bearsfan092]

Alright, I've started up a list of people who want Brawl and would bring a setup. I do not guarantee I will honor that list if it hits "x" people though.

Also Abate that name is sick. I can't use it officially (probably here would be okay) since I can't use the name "University of Pittsburgh" though.

 

[boognish]

count me in on that list of brawl w/ setup. every month.

 

[KrazyKnux]

Awesome. A few guys at WVU were interested in going to a tournament, and I was going to visit around this time. I think I'll shoot to visit this weekend so we can all attend (prob 2-4 guys).

WV in this!

Edit: Also the rule set looks spot on, I'm liking it. Any details on recording/streaming?

 

[bearsfan092]

I've got a really basic capture card, so we at least have recording. However I gotta figure out commentary. I've got a basic setup involving VAC where I can link two USB headsets, but I need someone to bring the additional USB headset. Once I figure that out, I'll post stream details.

 

[boognish]

i have a dazzle if you wanna use that

 

[PGH Carroll]

But Carroll, like 100 percent of the names you came up with suck.

Except Space Jam Monthlies.

Im not coming EVER after this ****. ^
EVERY NAME I HAD WAS GREAT.

 

[Ahenobarbus]

I'd come for Brawl and can (probably) definitely bring a setup. Also, I'm a Pitt student but have never heard of this club. When/where do you meet?

 

[beanwolf]

I have 4 people that are interested in playing brawl as well as myself, and another interested in entering melee singles. We might be able to bring 1 setup between us.

 

[Life]

vaskjdnfliawvoinsldkvaoislvdblavwlienvlaskdvzkzjvbdouawboe

i mean
what
WHAT
how did I miss this
/MBisonYes

If I'm reading the map correctly, I do concerts within walking distance (Carnegie Music Hall) pretty frequently.

I haven't thought this far ahead yet, but I'm definitely up if scheduling allows. (A definite maybe, if you will.)

 

[Ahenobarbus]

I talked to some friends, and I have at least 2 who want to come play Brawl. Still just the 1 setup between us though

 

[Wronskian-Physics]

I'd be interested in Brawl too, though I can only bring a Melee setup.

And yes it's that big CRT I bought off Gerald.

 

[beanwolf]

My group can bring a full setup so long as there's brawl.

 

[Ahenobarbus]

So now that we have 4 setups pledged to Brawl, is it officially gonna happen?

 

[bearsfan092]

Official word on Brawl will happen by Sunday 3/24.

 

[beanwolf]

So... is there gonna be any brawl?

 

[bearsfan092]

My bad. We actually came to the decision that there will be no Brawl at THIS month's tournament due to this being the first edition. All subsequent tournaments will have Brawl though.

 

[Ahenobarbus]

Will you guys be hosting tournaments this summer, or is it just a during-the-school-year thing?

 

[boognish]

how many ppl are comfirmed for next brawl

 

[Life]

I am interested in Brawl, dunno what I can and can't show up to tho

like, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I have a rehearsal this day

 

[KrazyKnux]

Melee hype imo?

 

[Ahenobarbus]

I'll be in Europe in May, but I'll show up for Brawl in June and July

 

[bearsfan092]

Will you guys be hosting tournaments this summer, or is it just a during-the-school-year thing?

They'll still be running in the summer.

 

[Todd Bonney]

We'll see how my work schedule and things at home look in a few weeks, but I'm interested! (in Melee)

Thanks for the tip, Naka.

And let me get this straight. This is in a dining room, but no food or drink is allowed in the venue?

 

[Jimmyfosho]

Might show up here just to hang with the melee scene.

 

[tishyubah]

I can bring a setup for brawl.

 

[PGH Carroll]

yo0yo00yoo0yo0o00yo0oo00oo0o0 this is gonn abe hype!!!!me and the MAJOR THREAT SGVDFGDGD

 

[Machiavelli]

[bearsfan092]

one week to go *******

Anyways, I updated the OP with the stream URL and a map with what you need to know about the venue. Things like one way streets, setup loading, etc.

 

[Todd Bonney]

I'll be working this weekend, but I'll be on the lookout for others.

 

[KrazyKnux]

WV confirmed for winning this tourney.

We got WV + 2 guest speakers.
