Series
Nyte Lyte I: Melee Edition
Brawl to be used in November. Anyway, since I need to get the old tourney running boots back on, here is NYTE Lyte I. Trail runs of the big tournament in April. This series is a bit odd than most, as it is not a qualifier of sorts, but mainly experiments of the ruleset as it is now. If you noticed, the stages are different, but thats pretty much it. Also, each version of the game, Melee and Brawl are to be held on the odd and even number NYTE Lytes, respectively. Lets get some tournament HYPE up in here.
PS Tucson Melee, we go to Waffle House on I10 and Grant.
Next Tournament (BTW TOTALLY stolen from the Tucson Tournament threads)
Tournament Host: Nicknyte
Tournament Co-host(s): Rubyiris
Official Commentator: Whoeveah
When: October 8th, 2011
Where: University of Arizona, Tucson; Student Union Memorial Center; TV Lounge (Bottom Floor)
Scheduled Times*:
11:00 AM Set-up, Doors open
11:30 AM to 12:30 PM Doubles Registration
12:30 ~ 1:00 PM Doubles Round Robin Begins
3:00 ~ 5:00 PM Doubles Finishes
4:00 ~ 6:00 PM Singles Pools Start
6:00 ~ 7:30 PM Singles Pools Finish, Bracket Starts
9:00 PM Singles Bracket Finishes
11:00 PM ~ 1:00 AM Venue Closes and we go to WAFFLE HOUSE :D
*Note: These are rough estimates. Things may go quicker or slower. The only thing that is certain is that you're probably safe getting there at 10:45 AM.
Please try to get here early guys.
Singles/Doubles Information:
Entry Fee (Singles): $5
Entry Fee (Doubles): $2
Singles: Pools, Winners of the pools advance to a Double elimination bracket
Doubles: Round Robin (unless more than 15 teams, in which case: bracket)
Bring roughly $20 to the tournament if you plan on doing singles, doubles, and going to WAFFLE HOUSE. If that means you need to go to the bank or talk to your mom/dad; do that now before the tournament.
Directions: Assuming you can find a well-known University…go to the north side of campus to Speedway. Turn in on the direct middle street which should be Mountain. There is a giant parking structure just before the circle. This is free on weekends. There are other spots to park in metered areas if need be, but that generally shouldn’t be required.
We have no “guaranteed” televisions, so please try to bring as many as possible. There are, however, 4 televisions that are likely to be useable. If we have a television for every 4 people, that should be excellent. More is definitely better. I would rather have 8 televisions with singles and 2 unused televisions than only 2 set ups running. Please try to bring a power cord as well! I have one power cord that reaches 20 feet. Preferably, if we had three more power cords, we should be safe.

3. The first match is played.

5. The losing player of preceding match picks stage for the next match.
6. The winning player of preceding match picks character.
7. The losing player picks character.
8. The next match is played.

Recommendations to Tournament Hosts (a.k.a. Other Notes)
• Players are responsible for their own general welfare in regards to the tournament. In other words, players are responsible for:
1. Being familiar with the rule set and stage list
2. Entrance and venue fees
3. Arriving on time
4. Maintaining personal hygiene
5. Controllers and Character Knowledge
6. Minimizing Johns
• Sets are usually based on brackets which may be seeded at the Tournament Host's discretion. If your tournament is any other format, make a note to advertise it accordingly.
• Some kind of stalling prevention is highly recommended. Since a definition of stalling is too potentially ambiguous here, all instances of stalling are determined by the Tournament Host.
• Unnecessary delays in a set should be discouraged. This can occur before (not playing a match) or during (taking an unnecessary amount of time to counter pick) and after (not reporting) a set that has been called. The Tournament Host is recommended to keep tabs on set completion.
• No more than the previous match should be replayed in the event of a rule violation and it is recommended that any disputes be brought promptly and quickly to the Tournament Host's attention.
• When running a pool, the game count of each set in pool play should be recorded (i.e. whether the set was 2-0 or 2-1). Ranking in a pool is determined by the number of sets won. In case of a tie, the first tiebreaker is the win/loss ratio of the individual games, where the higher ratio wins. In the event of a tie in both set victories and match-up ratios, the player who won the set between the disputed players should advance.
• The semi-final and championship sets should be in at least best of 5 format.
• Wireless controllers should be discouraged or banned because of interference, unreliability (battery life), and time hindrance.*
• The Tournament Host reserves the right at any time to make anyone leave the premises of the tournament.
• For all Melee tournaments, use of the character Metaknight is banned.
*Okami’s note: However, they may be used at players’ own risk.
*NickNotes: Mario's infinite cape is banned.
Nicknyte’s Additions to the Rules/Info:
• Trash talking by the audience during sets that are not semifinals or grand finals are discouraged, but allowed. Individuals (aside from the Tournament Host) in the audience may be silenced by any of the players participating in a tournament match at any time.
• Trash talking during semifinals and grand finals are allowed. Same rule as stated above applies. This is the ONLY time pausing is allowed and players who choose to pause for this reason may be disqualified at the Tournament Host’s discretion.
• Clean up after the tournament.
• Individuals MAY undermine commentators while the microphone is recording in good taste.
* Incompetence is not allowed. I will kick anyone out personally if I feel there is a disruption.
These rules are copied and pasted from the MBR Official Rule Set topic. A few small modifications have been made to fit the tournament better. Those who do not abide by these rules are subject to consequences determined by the Tournament Host. Any other questions or comments about the tournament may be posted here!
