Wednesdays- Melee @ 7:30pm, Smash 64 @ 8:30pm


Prices:

$10 Venue fee (First 5 console setups receive $5 venue off at the end of the day, you must come to the register to claim this)
$5 per singles event

Rules: These rules apply to all events, specific events below. If you have any questions about the rules, please ask up front rather than waiting till after a match to ask. It could be too late!


General Gameplay:

- Arcadian Event: No participants are permitted who have previously been power ranked in ANY region at any time. This is particular to the specific game- so if you've been ranked in PM previously, but not Melee and Smash Wii U, you are permitted to participate in Wii U and Melee but not PM. Additionally, players in the MIOM Top 100 are also banned from participating in Melee, even if they have not been ranked in a region.
- Arcadian Namesake: Anyone registering under a fake name to break the above rule or anyone who has been ranked who registers anyways will be disqualified with NO REFUND.
- Out of state participation: Anyone who does not compete in MD/VA regularly (aka someone who would not be eligible for MD/VA PR's) MUST confirm with me that they are eligible before registering.
- In-Eligibility List: Please see below section for In-Eligibility list.
- Waves will be broken up into bracket pools- players who lose but qualify for the final bracket will remain in losers bracket.

- Items are set to "off" and "none"
- If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage. If there is a tie, see the tiebreaker section to follow.
- Controller ports will be decided by players. If there is a conflict, we prefer using the G&W Hammer method to determine who gets to choose.
- You may switch controller ports on your counterpick only.
- BYOC (Bring your own controller). I recommend having a spare, just in case. If you don't have one, I might have a few for sale.
- Any controller malfunction mid match is on you. If you need to reset, your opponent will have to agree to a reset as doing so will require you to pause the match. (if pause is on).
- Stalling is banned. You know what this is, ask if you're unsure.
- If you freeze the game on an action initiated by your character, you lose the game. You are expected to know the boundaries of your character. (This rarely, if ever, happens.)
- Pause is recommended to be turned on for quick resets, but players can request it be turned off for the duration of their match.
- If a player pauses the match mid game (accidentally or intentionally), it is a stock loss to the player who pressed it.
- A match ending in simultaneous death does not go to the initiator. If the result is sudden death from this, use the normal tiebreaking rules (to follow) to determine the winner. Otherwise use who the game declared the winner.
- Coaching mid-match is banned. Don't do it. Coaching between matches must be brief.
- You cannot re-select a stage you have won on as a counterpick.
- Any and all infinites (basically, where someone can control the opponent without them being able to do anything about it) must end at 300%, otherwise it becomes stalling. All infinites are entirely legal otherwise.
- ALL sets are best 2 of 3 games, except for Winners, Losers, and Grand Finals, which are 3 of 5 sets.
- In the event of a game running to time, the winner is determined first by stocks, then % if the stocks are tied.


Set Procedure:

1. Character selection
2. Stage strike 1-2-1
3. Play Game 1
4. Winning player announces ban stage (3 bans for PM) for the set
5. Loser of previous match announces next match's stage
6. Winner of previous match chooses characters
7. Loser of previous match chooses characters
8. Play next game
9. Rinse and repeat 4-8 if set goes to a third game.


Tie Breaking:

Note: Tiebreaking is only initiated if the game started a sudden death round upon completion. Otherwise, the game declared winner is the winner of the match.
1. Winner is determined by highest stock count then lowest percent.
2. 1 stock, 3 minute match is played as a tiebreaker match. The winner of this match wins the game. If there is a tie in this match, proceed to step 4.
4. A second 1 stock, no time limit match is played. If a simultaneous death is initiated (such as swallocide) in this match, the initiator loses the match. There is no tie for this match, it is play until you win.


Conduct Rules:

- No intrusive Cosmetic hacks permitted (i.e. 20xx)
- Drugs/Alcohol are banned from Xanadu. Don't let me see any, smell any, etc. We'll send you home packing.
- Intentionally disrupting someone mid-match intentionally or accidentally is not acceptable. Please do your best to make sure you are not disrupting a match. This can result in a penalty at T.O.'s discretion.
- Don't lose anything you're bringing to the event please, we are not liable for lost/stolen etc.
- TTL Rule: You must register for the event in person, on-time. Once the registration deadline is closed, no further entries will be permitted. Do not try to call me in advance to hold the bracket.
- Collusion of any kind (asking, intentionally throwing matches yourself, "agreeing to split", etc.) is subject to instant disqualification from all events, forfeiture of all prizes, banning of said players from stream matches and a potential 1 event suspension at the T.O's discretion.

Good evening everyone! I'm proud to announce the pools are ready for review. Here is a link to the pools:

http://xanaduarcadian.challonge.com/

To find out what pool you're in, check out the following spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WSzkr_As1z0SuS1Y_Qg_iNp3G8LrCygwYAYa5rRn6AI/edit?usp=sharing

Additionally, the spreadsheet contains what station to report to for your pool. To find out where the pools are in the venue, check the map here:

http://i.imgur.com/LTKmMYd.png

Don't freak out if there is a conflict in your pool- while I strived very hard to make sure there were no overlapping pool rounds and no friends playing each other and the pools were regionally broken up, mistakes can be made. All change requests for pools must be sent to my email, scott.robertson.2 (my email is a gmail but I don't want to type it out due to robots). Also, if you can't find yourself, same thing, go ahead and send me an email.

Once you check your pool, go ahead and sign up for bringing a console, the incentive is $5 per console and they can stack: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1_09TsR-HvVLCDFVus8x4E5HsXIFg8rYNvPqtDTRYC-s/viewform?usp=send_form

We'll notify you before hand what station to take your setup to.

Thanks for attending this big tournament and we're looking forward to seeing everyone on saturday!
