Since SleepyK is coming up to Maine, I figure it'd be a perfect time to run a tournament. I've already got the date set-up up with Maiden Games, and I've got no intention of rescheduling it for anything, since A. SleepyK will be up from Feb 29th to March 9th, and B. I already know there's a second Mass Madness planned for March 8th and a midnight Brawl launch.

Location
Maiden Games
148 Main st Suite 101
Biddeford, ME 04005
(207)-282-3450
maidengames@gmail.com

(Note that Mapquest seems to disagree with this location...you can just type "Maiden Games" in Place Name and find it)

Schedule
10:00 AM: People can start showing up, setting up, etc. It is recommended you play friendlies and money matches ASAP.
Noon: Low Tier Tournament starts
Food Break
Teams starts
Singles

When I show up, registration for each tournament will open. Each tournament's registration ends before its respective tournament starts.

Everything will be finished before 9PM. If there's a large turnout I'll drop Low Tier because it takes too long.

Entry Fees/Prize Split
Singles - $10
Teams - $10
Low Tier - $5
Hosting Fee - $3 (Required to enter a tournament)
Prize Split is 60/30/10 as usual.

Food Break
There will be food breaks in-between tournaments (Low Tiers/Teams, Teams/Singles). There is a Thai place right next door, and a Mexican place a couple buildings down in the same direction.

Stage Selection
Applies to Singles only
Applies to teams only

Random Stages ON
Final Destination, Dream Land 64, Battlefield, Yoshi’s Story, Pokemon Stadium, Fountain of Dreams, DK64

Banned stages
Peach's Castle, Onett, Yoshi’s Island, Fourside, Hyrule Temple, Flat Zone, Brinstar Depths, Big Blue, Mushroom Kingdom, Venom, Yoshi's Island 64, Icicle Mountain, Great Bay, Mushroom Kingdom 2, Fountain of Dreams, and Mute City.

Counterpick Stages
Everything else.

Rules
Sets are 2/3, 3/5 for the finals
8 Minute Time Limit
4 Stock
No Items
Final Destination.
Team Attack on.

1st game is double blind. Games played afterwards follow standard slob picking (loser chooses a stage that isn't the one they last won on, winner chooses character, losers chooses character).

Both players/teams may temp-ban a neutral stage, and ban a counterpick. Temp-banned nuetral stages cannot be played in the 1st game of the set (It can be used as a counterpick), and the counterpick stage cannot be played as a counterpick.

Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (such as the Ice Climbers' freeze glitch) are not allowed. Using one will result in a forfeit of the current game.

Peach's Wallbombing and Jigglypuff's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery. Wobbling is allowed. Using any of these tactics to excessively stall a match will result in a game loss.

Controller mods which affect gameplay such as shorthop mod, L-trigger mod, etc. are considered cheating and are banned. If you are caught using a banned controller, you will be disqualified with no refunds. Feel free to use controllers with purely cosmetic mods such as stickers and different color paint. 3rd party controllers are allowed, but any additional features that aren't found on a standard Nintendo controller (such as programmable buttons or turbo buttons of any kind) are banned.

Pick up after yourselves if you leave a mess.

No fighting! You will be asked to leave without a refund, and banned from any of our future events. No profanity either, the store has a strict profanity rule so please at the very least keep it as quiet as possible so customers can't hear it. And even then, that's stretching it.

Transportation?
People in Massachusetts can get to Portland for $30 round trip by busses from Concord Trailways. I honestly have no idea concerning the details of this, so ask Boxman. He might know.

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask. What is everyone's opinion on running another CRAB Battle? The general feedback (and my own personal opinion) was that although it was fun, it was too inaccurate to use for actual rankings. Players who would be able to participate in the CRAB Battle (Maine players not ranked in New England), what do you feel should be the future of CRAB Battle? Continue? Discontinue? Increase games played? Include more people that are in-eligible to be ranked to play against CRAB Battlers to increase accuracy (but of course, not allowing them to be ranked, and to cut back on time, not having them play against each other)? Any other rule changes you have in mind?

Hell yes. This tournament is going to be the greatest thing ever.

NH is going and bringing a setup!

Edit: Wait a second, DK64 on random? That's not neutral.

Edit 2: Oh, its teams. Take it out and put in pokefloats!

Dogy if you were coming in SleepyK's place, I'm sure it'd still be the same thing. With a name like "DogySamich" I don't see how anyone could not love you.

After playing you at Pound and then hearing you **** the hell out of Marths with Doc, I wanted to give that matchup a shot sometime. It may never happen :(

Yeah, I went to Maiden Games a couple of weekends ago and they let us in to get foods. Last tournament they didn't because it was late night and they had a 21+ rule.

Thai PORK fried rice is too good. I'm sure you just spelled pork wrong Cog.

I'm willing to try some mexican food though.

I want to meet the famous SleepyK, since I hear he's one of the coolest smashers ever, and it is always a pleasure to see the Maine smashers. Still, I have no idea how I would get to Maine.

Any chance of a brawl event?
