RULES (Project M): 4 stock, 8 minute time limit
All items set to off and none
Sets are best of 3, winners/losers/grand finals are best of 5.

Either player may call for a double blind character selection for the first match.

Dave's Stupid Rule: A player may not counterpick any stage he or she has already won on in a set.

Controller ports decided by rock paper scissors if no agreement is reached. For doubles, ports are 1-2-2-1.

Team attack is on, share stock is allowed.

If the game is paused, the player who did not pause the game may choose to make the player who paused the game lose a stock. Gameplay resumes normally afterward.

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

If time runs out, the player who is winning by stock and percent is declared the victor. In the case of a stock and percent tie, a 1 stock 3 minute match will be played with the same characters and stage.

If a match goes to sudden death due to a suicide move, the player who initiated the move is declared the victor.

Buffer is disabled.

Custom controls are allowed, controllers with performance-enhancing modifications such as turbo buttons are not. Modifications that do not explicitly alter performance, such as swapped analog sticks or springless shoulder buttons, are allowed.

In the event of a game crash or power outage, the set count remains the same as prior to the crash, and the match that was being played is restarted with the same characters and stage. If a player intentionally initiates a game crash via glitch, he/she takes a game loss.

Mid-match coaching is allowed if both players have only one coach each. Pre-match coaching or consultation is unrestricted.

Giga Bowser is banned.


----


Stage list:

For the first match, stage strike the starter list in 1-2-2-1 fashion. After a game concludes, the winner of the previous match bans a stage for the rest of the set. In best of 5 sets, this process is not repeated for multiple bans.

Starters:

-Battlefield
-Final Destination
-Smashville
-Pokemon Stadium 2
-Dream Land 64
-Fountain of Dreams
-Yoshi's Story (singles only)
-SSE: Jungle (doubles only)

Counterpicks:

-Yoshi's Island
-Pokemon Stadium
-Lylat Cruise
-WarioWare
-Green Hill Zone
-Skyworld


Hope to see everyone there, this event should be a huge success. Look out for Smash sessions, tournaments, streams, and more from Hitbox Arena and Smash24 in the very near future!

I'm fairly certain I'll be coming on Saturday for both Brawl and PM. Is there a prize pool? It doesn't say in the post.
