Rules
We will be using the MBR Ruleset for Melee. It can be found here.
We will be using the TGC Ruleset for Smash 4. It can be found here.

Code of Conduct:
  • All ejections or disqualifications due to violations of the Code of Conduct or individual game rules will be without refund.
  • No alcohol or illegal substances inside the venue. Getting caught with these items or evidence of the presence of these items will result in disqualification from the event and eviction from the venue.
  • No fighting or weaponry inside the venue. Throwing controllers or acting in a way that could pose a danger to other players will result in disqualification from the event and eviction from the venue.
  • No refusal to play on certain TVs or setups will be tolerated barring extreme circumstances. All players agree to have their matches recorded if requested by the TO.
  • Be on time to your match. You have 5 minutes from when it's called to be at your station or you forfeit the first game. If you are 10 minutes late you forfeit the match and are either out or in losers.
Collusion (Pot splitting, bracket rigging, etc):
I don't tolerate collusion of any kind. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to see it. I don't make money off this event. I give up my Saturday to run this event. I do this because I want the San Antonio and surrounding scenes to have another tournament to go to. If you are strapped for time come talk to me. We can work something out.

In the case that 2 or more placing players are caught colluding, prize money will be redistributed to the next qualifying tier of players. This will be a pain for everyone involved. Don't do this.

WE NEED PEOPLE TO BRING TVS!
I can only provide a couple TVs to start with, so it's up to the rest of the community to bring more and make the event easier to run. More setups means more friendlies and more playing time, so please do your part if you have equipment to lend us for the day. Remember, if you bring a full setup, we will refund your $5 venue fee at the end of the tourney.

I honestly have no idea, but it's worth mentioning that Austin is rolling deep this time! We got 10 austinites on their way this weekend and the return of Laredo. Get hype SA.

You can blame the storms for that. Hard to compete with mother nature.
And no thanks. Not worth it. :applejack:

Would it be unwelcome to bring a 64 setup, just for casuals? If not, would anyone be interested in having one there?

Not sure at the moment. There are things I need to talk with the owner about. BTW, Ya'll should also attend Nike's tournaments if you enjoyed smash 4. He'll show you how a real TO do.

Ya yo, the drive isn't that far from my house and even though the venue is kinda small, it's a really cool place and the people there where nice and skilled. I'ma def show up for the next one if I don't have plans :)

I have no problem with PM running at Ultra. Brandon, the owner does out of misplaced fear of Nintendo cracking down on his business..
