• Items are set to off

• 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 mayNOT 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.
• In the event of a tie due to both players dying simultaneously (triggering sudden death), a one stock 2 minute tie-breaker match will be played on the same stage. Sudden death is not to be played and will not count.
• 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.
• Players are to attend their matches at the designated times they are called. If you are late to a match, the following rules will be applied based on the amount of time:
  • If you are 5 minutes late: Results in a match loss
  • If you are 10 minutes late: Results in a set loss
  • These times will be strictly enforced to make sure that each player will enjoy the full event on a timely manner.

How big is the Melee scene out here? I live in Methuen and I've be thinking about switchin over from FPS's to this.

I'm from Methuen too and although I didn't go to The Workshop 1, the pictures seem to show it was a good number for a first time event. I've been down to Sommerville Mass a few times and there are melee brackets with 60+ people in them. A lot of those same players went up to the first Workshop it looks like. I know only a few players from Methuen, Lawrence, Andover area.

34 entered melee at the first workshop tourney. Melee's scene in New England is pretty large (we had over 200 attend our biggest regional last year) and it has continued to grow since then.

I would love for this to get bigger in Essex or just around here. I haven't gone to Amy tournaments but I've recently started to get more technical with smash. I'm by no means good hut I just want some people to play with as none of my friends play/ have a GameCube.

Apologies for the late replies. Yeah the scene here in New England is pretty big! Our Lawrence gets a pretty good turnout of about 35 - 40 players. Looking forward to a bigger turnout this time around. Here is our next tourney:
