Location: Xanadu Games (thread has the address info! If Baltimore doesn't work as the city address, try using Halethorpe or Arbutus. This really isn't within "Baltimore" per se.)
Games: Project M!
Schedule:
11:00am: Doors Open
12:30pm: Doubles Registration
1:00pm: Doubles Begin (don't be late! I wait for no one.)
3:30pm: Singles Registration
4:00pm: Singles Begin
This gives everybody plenty of time to break for lunch/dinner etc. and also have a boat load of time for friendlies. The venue will be open extra long to accommodate everyone. I want to make sure everyone gets the full experience and their fill of PM. If teams finish sooner, unlike other events, I'll stick to the schedule and run the events as planned here. Please reach out to me if you think you'll be late via text/facebook/twitter.
Prices:
$10 Venue Fee ($5 back at the end of the day to the first 4 people who bring a PM setups)
$20 Doubles Entry (10 per person)
$10 Singles Entry
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:
- 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.
- All sets in bracket with the exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and grand finals will be best of 3 matches. The finals matches will be a best of 5.
- 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.
- You cannot re-select the last stage you have won on as a Counterpick in a set.
- 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.
- TAC: Any attempt at collusion will result in forfeiture of all prizes and immediate disqualification of an event. If someone approaches you about splitting/colluding, you may report them with a witness and it will be at a T.O. discretion to remove them from the event.
- TTL Rule: You must be on-time to the event to register. Showing up after the registration has closed will ensure that you are not going to be able to enter the event.
- LGL Rule: Should a match not go to completion but go to time instead, if either player has grabbed the ledge more than 60 times, they automatically lose the match. It is the responsibility of the players to verify this.
- Each player gets 3 bans per Counterpick match. These bans DO NOT persist between individual matches.
Set Procedure:
1. Character selection
2. Stage strike 1-2-2-1
3. Play Game 1
4. Winning player announces ban stage 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.
Round Robin Scoring:
Round Robin is scored by Set Victories. However, in case of tie sets, please use the following tie breaking method:
Head-to-Head
Win/Loss Ratio
Match 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. In the event of a time-out, verify the LGL was not violated. If the LGL has been violated by one of the players, the other player automatically wins the match. If it has been violated by both players or neither players, proceed to step 3.
3. A 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 (no altering characters to look like master chief, no reversing the ice climbers colors, etc.)
- Drugs/Alcohol is 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.
- Don't lose anything you're bringing to the event please, we are not liable for lost/stolen etc.
Sequence of events:
1. Battle begins, using 4 stocks, the starter stage is random based off of the neutral stage selections
2. The winner of the match stays on, using his remaining stocks from the first battle to play the next opponent
3. The opposing crew chooses their next player to play in the battle
4. The player coming in has the opportunity to counter pick a stage instead of going random, if they do, their opponent may change their character.
5. Rinse and repeat 2-4 until the winner is determined
