Rules:
All Events
* All games will be best 2/3, until top 3, which will be 3/5 time permitted

* Set Procedure: Each player will choose their character, double blind pick is available by request. Players will then strike from the starter stage list given, and play on the agreed upon stage. For each subsequent game, the winner will announce their stage ban(s), the loser of the previous game will choose the stage, the winner will chose their character, then the loser will chose their character.

* Modified Daves Stupid Rule: A player cannot go back to the stage he last won on in the set unless agreed

* If you are part of a crew or sub-region and do not wish to fight eachother in pools (or 1st round bracket if pools do not run), please enter with a crew or region tag, such as SYR | TheManaLord since my region is SYR (syracuse).

*Items are set to OFF and NONE

* Pause is recommended to be turned on for quick resets in singles, but players can request it be turned off for the duration of their match. If pause is pressed by a player in singles, that player forfeits their stock. Pause is OFF in Doubles.

* Quitting out of a match before it is over will result in a loss for the player who quits.

* If time runs out, the person with the highest number of stocks left wins. If the players have the same number of stocks when time runs out then the player with the lower % is awarded the victory. If the % is equal as well, play a 1 stock 3 minute match, same characters and stage.

* If the match goes to sudden death due to a self-destruct move the player who initiated the move is awarded the win; otherwise the player displayed as victorious by the game is determined as the winner. The best example of this is Kirby's neutral B offstage.

* In the event that the game crashes or the TV/Wii/Wii U loses power in the middle of a match, that match will be restarted from the beginning with the same characters and stage. If a player uses a known glitch to intentionally crash the game or otherwise prevent the match from finishing that player will the match and may be disqualified at the Tournament Organizer's discretion.

* No excessive stalling. This is up to the judgment of the TO, but in general, stalling is considered making the game unplayable to artificially run the timer of a match (ie excessive infinite shino stall, peach bomber stall, luigi ladder, wobbling past 150%). Stalling is also banned in between games at the stage/char selection phase at discretion of TO.

* No coaching during a match. Consulting someone between matches is allowed as long as the match finishes within the two-minute time frame between matches.

* Players are not allowed to modify the length, nor change the other rules of the set without consulting the TO, even if both players agree. Any players found to be doing this will BOTH be disqualified, and face forfeiture of prize money. This does NOT include gentlemen's clause for stage selection.

* Any player entering with a misleading tag (such as a good player entering with a random tag, or a player entering using another players tag / a variation of it) without alerting the TOs will face complete disqualification, and forfeiture of prize money.

* Any players colluding or manipulating the bracket will also be disqualified and face forfeiture of prize money.

* TOs have full discretion to override or change rules as they see fit, when circumstances warrant it.

MELEE

* Starter Stages: Final Destination, Battlefield, Fountain of Dreams, Yoshi's Story, Dreamland 64

* Striking will be performed in a 1-2-1 manner, first strike is determined by RPS

This is a great idea actually.

Thanks!

Sadly that issue arose a couple of times at the previous event, this will alleviate such occurrences from happening this time around. And it's fun to rep your region, wear it proud!

I suggest u put your city AFTER your tag, to differentiate from people with actual sponsors
Thanks, good call goggles! There is also a pre-reg link now where people can put their region so we can sort a majority of this before the tourny begins!!

If Eric is smart, Mewtwo shouldn't be legal because he is too fresh and thus nobody has experience playing with/against him, even if its just a modified melee moveset. This is one of the reasons why Lucas isn't playable at EVO.

In addition, since we are playing with customs, it's unlikely that the Official Custom Standard Moveset will have one made for Mewtwo by Cusetown.
ie: We will have Mewtwo Legal for 10 days. That's not reasonable.


Not to mention the logistics of making sure every single setup has Mewtwo, a PAID dlc character. (Which is the other reason why Lucas isn't at EVO)

And to again put this in perspective, Lucas comes out in sometime in June.

Lets just say he comes out on the last day of June. Evo is July 15.

That's at a minimum of 5 more days of exposure to the character, and he is still banned at Evo.

My opinion is tto keep mewtwo legal WITH the caveat tthat mew2 players are not allowed to hold up the tournament. If we tell you to play on a set up that doesnt have m2 on it you have to play on it and pic a different character. I wanna see m2 in tournament but getting everything done in a reasonable time frame (since the last tournament literally took TWO MONTHS to finish) is the prime objective. If you accept those risks you can play mewteo

-these are dual purpose wii's, any more of these is excellent, if not wii's w pm or cubes for melee are also needed

One week away from the beatdown!! Another huge shoutout to Cloud City Comics and Toys for accommodating and growing our tournament series, they are providing more floor space, more tables/chairs, and a PA system so I don't have to yell so much and everyone can hear announcements :) There will be other fun stuff at this event, including a table and support from Voltage Video Games which will have a lot of cool things available. We'll also have raffles and other fun things happening smile emoticon Get to practicing everyone, see you there !!!
