If any tournament exceeds 30 people we will be doing pools to lower the main bracket to at least 16 people (32 if we somehow get 50+) and the people who do not make it out of pools will get to compete in our Amateur Bracket.
Project M Rules:
4 stock, 8:00 minute timer
Items OFF and set to NONE
Buffer OFF
Ties after the time limit are determined first by stocks, then by percentage.
If a match ends with both players dying at the same time resulting in Sudden Death, a 1-stock rematch will be played out on the same stage.
All sets with the exception of Semi-Finals, Winner's Finals, Loser's Finals, and Grand Finals are best of 3 matches (best of 5 should be played out for any "finals" matches)
If each player has one stock remaining and the match ends due to a suicide move (Ganon's side-B, DDD's swallow, holding someone in a grab on a platform as it moves out of the boundaries, etc.), the player who initiated the move wins.
Non-first party controllers must be inspected by TO staff before use in tourney.
Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in forfeiture of the 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.
Dave's Stupid Rule: You cannot counterpick a stage you have won on in a set unless agreed upon by the opponent.
Player's Choice Clause: You may play by a rule outside of this ruleset if your opponent agrees to it as long as it does not deliberately delay the tournament process. In the event of a disagreement, house rules stand.
Double Blind Character Picks: Players may elect to double blind pick their characters for the first match in case of any disputes.
Stage Striking: Stage Strike from Starters for the first match of the set in "122112" fashion:
1. First player strikes one stage.
2. Second player strikes the next two stages.
3. First player strikes the next two stages.
4. Second player strikes one stage.

If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.
All sets with the exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches (best of 5 and above should be played out for any "finals" matches)
In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by TO.
You are responsible for your own controller. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility, so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties. Wave-birds are allowed but discouraged, as there can be unwanted interference with controllers being on the same channel.
If you are using a Wii-Mote, a Wii-Mote w/ Nun-chuck, or Classic Controller, please remove your batteries when you are not playing a match. This not only helps your battery life and helps prevent accidental interruptions.
Stalling is banned.Stalling: The act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling, while using an infinite to run out the timer rather than to score a KO is. As such, any infinite chain-grabs, locks, etc. cannot exceed 300%.
Any action which prevents the game from continuing (i.e. by causing the game to crash or causing all characters to freeze indefinitely) is banned. If the Tournament Organizer or a judge can conclusively determine the player responsible for the failure, that player loses the interrupted game. Players are expected to know their characters and prevent this from happening.
Some interactions (for example, a throw with a wind attack) can cause one character to become frozen until being hit. If this happens, the free character is expected to capitalize on this in a timely manner; a failure to do so is stalling.
Ledge grab limit is set to 40.
Set Format:
Opponents make their character select screen choices for the first match.
Opponents start the stage striking procedure.
Each player may announce one stage to be banned for counterpicks of the set.
The first game is played, using the stage chosen during step 2.
The loser of the previous match announces the next match's stage from either the Starter Stage List or the Counter Stage List.
The winner of the previous match chooses their character.
The loser of the previous match chooses their character.
Repeat steps 5-7 for all proceeding matches.
Double blind character selection may be called for the first match. Also, the choices made here include the character's color and whether the player will start as Samus or Zero Suit Samus, as Zelda or Sheik, or as a particular Pokemon for Pokemon Trainer.
No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
Extra doubles rules:
Port order will be 1221.
Life sharing IS allowed.
Team attack is set to ON.

Melee Rules:

Games are best of 3, Finals will be best of 5.
The stage for Game 1 will be selected through STAGE STRIKING.
Double Blind Rule: For the first game of a series, a player may call for a double-blind pick. This means that all participating players must tell a judge the character they will use for that game. Each player is required to use that character in the game.
After characters have been selected for the first game, each player/team may choose one stage from the available tournament list that won’t be used during the series.
Dave's Stupid Rule is in effect. (The loser/counterpicking player may NOT choose to counterpick the stage they last won on in the set.)
After each game of a series, the player who lost the previous game may choose the stage for the next game or elect for it to be chosen randomly. After the stage has been selected, the winner of the previous game may change characters. After the winner has chosen their character, the loser of the previous game may change characters.

Housing
I can house in my apartment about 6-8 more people. I have to available couches and the rest would be floor space. I am offering housing to the people that come from the farthest away.
If you need housing shoot me a text at 615-939-9094.
If anyone else in the Murfreesboro or Nashville area can offer housing that would be fantastic as well.
