[Jun 27, 2014] Gamers Gathering 3, (Dijon)

[Felker]

Hey Folks, we're announcing our third event.
So let's get this straight to what you want :

This event will start friday at the evening, and will finish Sunday about 2 or 3 AM maximum.
We'll have the building the whole night between Friday and saturday, we're also doing a PM tournament friday the evening !

Tournaments :

• Melee. (single only)

• Brawl. (single only)

• Project M (single only)

• Side event : PM Crew (according to how much people will be there, it could be Brawl vs Melee community or Dijon vs the world).

Melee Ruleset :

Spoiler

• Items are set to off
• Stock and time are set to 4 stock and 8 minutes, respectively
• Wobbling is legal. Wobbling past 250% will be considered stalling and is not allowed.
• Double Blind: If elected
• Contest Port Priority: If elected
• Neutral Start: If elected
• DSR: You cannot counter pick to any stage you have won on ever.
• Gentleman’s Clause: Any stage may be played on if both players agree to it. This rule takes priority over DSR. Players may NOT agree to change the number of matches to be played.
• Forced Character Selection: Off
• Matches that time out will be determined by the remaining number of lives, then percentage of the current stock. In the event of a percentage tie, the match should be replayed in full. Sudden Death is not to be played, and will not count. A player/team may not counterpick to the stage they last won on. This includes the first match won via stage striking.
• Pausing the game shall only be legal while either player remains upon their OWN respawn platform, and only for the purpose of summoning a tournament official or in the case of a controller malfunction. All other pauses will incur a stock loss to the player who pauses the game.
• 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.

• Stages :
  
• • Yoshi’s Story
  • Fountain of Dreams
  • Battlefield
  • Final Destination
  • Dream Land

Brawl Ruleset :

Spoiler

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.

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.
  • When one of the players is attacked by the other and takes damage, the “no scrooging” rule does not apply.
  • The moving platform on Smashville or any platform that is not the main stage (Battlefield platforms, Castle Siege platforms, etc.) are 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.

Maybe I forgot some stuffs, but i'll edit my post if it's the case.

Why no team in both Melee and Brawl ? For a 2-days tournament it's a bit strange.

 

[V1CE]

I am interested... but booooo at no cash prize... hopefully this gets alot of people...

Why no team in both Melee and Brawl ? For a 2-days tournament it's a bit strange.

it's only a 30 hours event and maybe with a cut between the friday evening and the saturday morning, and I don't think that's a good idea to separate pools and bracket, so we're doing everything Saturday.
And as it's only our first big event, we'd rather do only two tournaments but doing it well than trying to make a lot of tournaments and doing it in the wrong way.
Plus, this is not a smash event only, so the whole staff won't be focused on smash, there's also street fighter, pokemon, and free animations / tournaments, and the PM crew at the end of the event.

Interested for p:m tournament

Major update, we have the building the whole night, and there's a PM tournament !
