1. Enough cash for the events you wish to enter (see the prices above, exact change preferred.)
2. Your own controller (Any Project M compatible controller, GameCube controller preferred. Please take batteries out of wiimote when not in use, as to not interfere with matches.)

If you bring a full setup for any game, we will refund your $5 venue fee at the end of the tourney.
A full Project M setup is a CRT TV, Wii, Brawl disc, and SD card with PM v3.5.

< Rules >

Project M Ruleset:
4 stock, 8:00 minute timer
Items OFF and set to NONE
Buffer OFF
All sets are best of 3, except finals which are best of 5
Ties after the time limit are determined by stocks, then by percentage.
If each player has one stock remaining and the match ends due to a suicide move (Ganon's side-B, DDD's swallow, holding someone in a grab on a platform as it moves out of the boundaries, Falcon's forward-B at the side blastzone, etc.), the player who initiated the move wins.
You cannot counterpick any stage you have won on in a set unless agreed upon by the opponent.
Gigabowser is Banned.
Stage Strike from Starters for the first match of the set in "122112" fashion:
First player strikes one stage.
Second player strikes the next two stages.
First player strikes the next two stages.
Second player strikes one stage.
Players play on remaining stage


Starters
Green Hill Zone
Pokemon Stadium 2
Battlefield
Smashville
Dreamland

Counterpicks
Yoshis Island
WarioWare**
Final Destination
Norfair
Fountain of Dreams
Distant Planet
Yoshis Story**

12 stages in all



After each match:

Winner announces THREE stage bans, these bans lasts for 1 round.
Loser chooses counterpick stage
Winner chooses their character
Loser chooses their character


< Side Events >
The Ruleset is the same, with Metal Cavern and Dracula's Castle added. Payout is winner take all.

If time allows, we will run your choice of these side events:

Random Singles: Bo3, single elimination, players go random.
All Falcon Bracket: Bo3, single elimination, players go Falcon
All Ganon Bracket: Bo3, single elimination, players go Ganon
Turbo Singles: Bo3, single elimination, all stages legal except training room. (this should be hype!)

Additional Rules:

Double Blind Character Picks: Players may elect to double blind pick their characters for the first match in case of any disputes.
Neutral Spawn Points: Players may elect to use neutral spawn points to decide controller ports for the first match in case of any disputes.
Sudden Death: If a match ends with both players dying at the exact same time resulting in Sudden Death, a 1-stock, 3:00 minute rematch will be played out on the same stage.
Glitches: Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in forfeiture of the match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.
Performance altering controller modifications(Turbo/Macro buttons) are not allowed.


Placings in Singles Pools are determined based on:
1. Number of sets won
2. Number of games won
3. Head-to-head winner


Code of Conduct:

All ejections or disqualifications due to violations of the Code of Conduct or individual game rules will be without refund.
No alcohol or illegal substances inside the venue. Getting caught with these items or evidence of the presence of these items will result in disqualification from the event and eviction from the venue.
No fighting or weaponry inside the venue. Throwing controllers or acting in a way that could pose a danger to other players will result in disqualification from the event and eviction from the venue.
No refusal to play on certain TVs or setups will be tolerated barring extreme circumstances. All players agree to have their matches recorded if requested by the TO.
Be on time to your match. You have 5 minutes from when it's called to be at your station or you forfeit the first game. If you are 10 minutes late you forfeit the match and are either out or in losers.

Collusion (Pot splitting, bracket rigging, etc):
I don't tolerate collusion of any kind. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to see it. I don't make money off this event. I give up my Saturday to run this event. I do this because I want the San Antonio and surrounding scenes to have another tournament to go to. If you are strapped for time come talk to me. We can work something out.
In the case that 2 or more placing players are caught colluding, prize money will be redistributed to the next qualifying tier of players. This will be a pain for everyone involved. Don't do this.

WE NEED PEOPLE TO BRING TVS!
I can only provide a couple TVs to start with, so it's up to the rest of the community to bring more and make the event easier to run. More setups means more friendlies and more playing time, so please do your part if you have equipment to lend for the day.

*Side event to be run if time allows
**Yoshis Story and WarioWare not legal in doubles
