This event will be held in Gamerz Galaxy in the Hancock Center. There's a coffee house, a buffalo wing restaurant, an HEB, Wendy's, Freebirds, et cetera, within walking distance of the venue. There will be free play before the tournament starts and maybe after (depending on how efficient the tournament runs).

RULES

1v1
Four-stocks
8-minute timer
Items are set to OFF
Best of 3 Matches (Winners, Losers, and Grand finals Bo5)*
Double-Blind Character Selection
Initial stage determined by stage striking! Ask a TO for further details.
Repeat after every match: Loser picks stage (as detailed below), winner chooses character, loser chooses character
Subsequent matches on the losing player's choosing from Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams, Dreamland, Pokemon Stadium, or any stage that both players can agree to (cannot choose stage you already won on, unless your opponent agrees).

2v2
Same as 1v1. but replace the counterpick stage Fountain of Dreams with Kongo Jungle 64

ADDITIONAL RULES
The act of stalling is banned: stalling is intentionally making the game unplayable: Such as becoming invisible, continuing infinites, chain grabs, or uninterruptable moves past 300%, and reaching a position that your opponent can never reach you.
No controller modification
Being 5 minutes late to a match after being called means you forfeit that match, after 5 more minutes you forfeit the set.
Don't disrupt your opponent mid-match (what is considered 'disruption' is at my discretion and I will more than likely side with your opponent on such a matter)

BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER IF POSSIBLE
IF YOU HAVE COPIES OF THE GAMES OR CONSOLES BRING THAT PLZ (I'll identify and oversee every one's belongings)

Hey Red, the only tournaments south I could possibly ever go to are the tournaments in SA, so I'll try to go to Nike's tournament instead if I happen to go visit SA that weekend. You were at DIME 7, right? I don't remember you.

You could always carpool with the SA players to Austin if you want. Though we've got so many ppl interested that we're currently looking for more drivers

I might as well come, I am new to smashboards so I am prepared to get bopped hard. I may know a guy or two there tho since I've played a lot at anime conventions in the austin area. I really have no idea how good the people there will be, I might be able to sneak a few wins or just lose to everyone.

Reminder to everyone that this is tomorrow! We will need people to volunteer to bring setups (wii/gc & melee) so we can get everything running smoothly. There should be plenty of TVs but feel free to bring those too if you want just in case. Remember there's no venue fee, but feel free to support the store allowing us to run the tournament there for no charge by buying something from them! See everyone tomorrow.
