BACK IN THE GAME

Super Smash brothers for Wii U singles tournament.

-------

VENUE

Back in the Game
17941, S Halsted St
Homewood, Illinois

The Venue is a local video game store which sells the obvious as well a lot of retro stuff you won't see at Gamestop. For those of you that have been to the previous Bitg weeklies, if you haven't noticed the address change, this one will be in Homewood, IL. it's about 15-20 minutes south from the previous venue. It's a lot bigger than the last venue.

If anyone wants to go check out the place, go ahead! Check their facebook page out and give them a like as well. They could use the publicity

GENERAL RULES

Smash 4 bracket rules
* Double Elimination
* 2 STOCK 6 MINUTES
* All sets are best of 3 except for Winners finals, Losers Finals & Grand Finals
* Doubles is 3 stock 8 minutes

LEGAL STAGES

Starter Stages
● Battlefield + Mii verse
● Final Destination+Omega stages
● Smashville
● Lylat
● Town and City

Counterpick Stages

● Duck Hunt
● Omega Stages*
● Dreamland


Stage Striking: One of the players will strike(ban) a stage from the Starter Stage list first. Then the other player strikes one stage and the remaining stage is used for the first match.

● Stage Clause: A player/team may not pick any stage they previously won on during the set.

● Stage Bans: During the stage ban phase, the player who won the previous game may ban 2 stages from either the Starter or Counter pick lists.

● Self Destruct Moves: If a match ends with the successful use of a character’s selfdestruct move, the player that initiated the self destruct move wins the match regardless of what the results screen states.

Self destruct moves include only Ganondorf’s SideB, King Dedede’s NeutralB, Wario’s NeutralB, and Kirby’s NeutralB.


-BYOC (Bring your own controller): PLAYERS ARE EXPECTED TO BRING THEIR OWN CONTROLLER AND BE PREPARED FOR EVERY SET.

Wireless controllers aren't banned but I'm strongly against them. If players are unwilling to cooperate and disconnect their controllers when they're not in a match, I will ban them in future tournaments

IF YOU ARE USING A WIRELESS CONTROLLER PLEASE DISCONNECT IT FROM THE WII U AFTER YOUR MATCH IS OVER IF YOU ARE LEAVING THE SET UP.


-------

DISCOUNTS
We need set ups for the tournament to run as smoothly as possible. So we're offering discounts will be given on a first come first serve basis to whoever brings set ups! If we don’t have space for more setups you will not receive a discount. We have 4 tvs at the event so we may not need wii Us but extra ones are always welcome in case a set up is unreliable

$1 Discount for bringing a Console
$1 Discount for bringing a Monitor

We need more consoles than we need monitors.


*You are responsible for your own belongings! Please label your equipment!

-------


Food
There are several restaurants nearby including Pizza hut right next door. Please be aware of how the tournament is progressing and leave for food at a time that does not delay the tournament otherwise you will risk being DQ'd.


-Once your set is done PLAYERS MUST IMMEDIATELY REPORT the results to the TO staff.

-DQ Rule: Arriving too late for a match will result in a DQ. Player(s) will have 5 minutes to show up before a loss of the SET. TO staff will not leave the venue to go searching for you so please be aware of how the tournament is progressing. YOU WILL GET DQ’D IF YOU DON’T ARRIVE TO YOUR MATCH ON TIME.


The TO reserves the right to deny payout from event winnings to any player suspected of intentionally throwing a match, splitting a payout, or committing any other form of bracket manipulation.

-Players may NOT hold off their match in order to have it streamed/recorded unless first cleared with the TO staff.

We will have a tournament in the Crestwood store this Friday. Tell your friends, bring set ups and try to get to venue early to dodge the traffic!

Will you guys be having a weekly or monthly on July 31st? A few of my friends and I would like to come to a weekly first. Also do you guys allow the custom presets like they're going to do at EVO 2015?

--Important update--


Since the Managers of BITG wanna try something new, the next few weeklies will be at the homewood store. it's about 15-20 minutes south from the Crestwood store.

Address 17941 S Halsted St Homewood IL Bitg Homewood

This change is because the current store where we have our weeklies is pretty small and the players do get in the way of the customers at times. The Homewood store is a lot more spacious, has more TVs, and is a less busy store. It's a better venue overall compared to the Crestwood store.

Unfortunately, I know the Homewood store is a lot further south from most of you so I predict attendance dropping a bit, if not a lot. But it's something we're gonna try out.

If you still think you can still make it, the support is greatly appreciated. it's because of you guys why BITG weeklies are what they are today. To put this in perspective, we've been doing this for over 3 months now. Let's keep it going!

If most of you can't make it, its unfortunate, but at least you'll have the other weeklies up north. Hopefully this will attract some newer players further down south.

Hope to see you guys in homewood this Friday!

Same rules/timing as usual. Starting at 5:30. Doubles at 5 if we get enough entrants.

Starters: FD, SV, BF Lylat, T&C
CP: DH, DL

This will be my first tournament so I'm not sure if when it says the venue opens at 10am, does that mean players can play friendlies the entire time until the tournament starts?

No, this isn't true. I should probably update that. I'm normally not in the venue until an hour or 2 before the tournament starts. Around that time, folks start bringing set ups to play friendlies and what not.
I suggest you stop by an hour before the tournament starts.

I really appreciate all the new faces I saw yesterday along with the usual BITG crew that still made the travel to Homewood. It was a rough start since I wasn't used to hosting in that location but it was a great turn out.

So what do you guys think about the Homewoood venue? Like the space? Better location? Hope to see you all next time!

Hey man, I'm planning on going to the competition on the 31st. You said to bring your own controller, does this include being able to play with the 3DS as a controller?

@ S SirCrappington Yes all controllers are allowed.
@ S sharkym02 Adapters are provided (y). But set ups are always available via the community/people who show up and bring them. if you want a 1 dollar discount, you can bring your own full set up as well!

How long is BITG going to be at the Homewood location? I can make it to the next Crestwood one but the Homewood location is quite a bit farther.

If you're gonna be late today at BITG just send me a message so I can add you in bracket. And if folks still wanna do 2v2 show up early and what not. We'd have to start at 5:30 if enough people show up for it

Another update, for everyone driving here, please park in the parking lot behind the firestone store left of Back in the Game.

Yay, this'll be my first tournament. I'm confused though, is this just at a different location then normal or what? I really don't understand.
