THE SIGN UP FOR THE TOURNAMENT IS CLOSED! DO NOT ASK AGAIN!
Hello everyone. As many of you are aware, I will be hosting (and participating in) an online Smash Bros 4 3ds tournament! Winners will be receiving up to $30 NA (Specifically United States) eshop cards!
Right now, we need a concrete date for when this should be held! The People have voted upon October 11. The time this tourney will take place is 2:00 PM Central Time Zone (12:00 PST/3:00 EST)
Now that I got that out of the way, it is time for the rule-set:
Each and every match will be 3 stock, 8 minutes, NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. I know there has been some big arguments about this, but this is what this tournament will be doing.
Each PvP will be best 2/3 matches. Semi-finals and onward will be best 3/5.
No items allowed.
Custom moves will be allowed. However, NO CUSTOM EQUIPMENT! If you are caught about this, you will be banend from the tournament and any other tournament hosted by me.
In order to participate, you MUST have an account for both Challonge and Raidcall. They are both free, and there will be links at the end of this post.
There will be a loser's bracket. We all like underdogs, eh?
There will be a cap of 36 participants. Once I post the link for the Challonge tomorrow afternoon, it will be First come, first serve.

Due to the impact stage selection has on characters' performance, a standard Smash Bros tournament utilizes stage picking and banning during a match set. There are three types of stages: Starter (also called Neutral), Counter-Pick, and Banned.
For this tournament, the stage list is as follows:
Starter:
Counter-Pick:
- Final Destination
- Battlefield
- Yoshi's Island (Brawl)
Banned:
- Jungle Japes
- Mute City
- Prism Tower
- Rainbow Road
- Paper Mario
- Tomodachi Life
- Tortimer's Island
- Arena Ferox
After selecting characters, each player chooses (starting with the player with the "highest" player number, with 1 being highest and 4 being lowest) one stage to strike from the Starter list. These stricken stages cannot be played on during this match of the tournament. As each player gets one strike of the three Starter stages, the remaining Starter is chosen for play.
- All other stages, and Omega forms of all stages.
Example: Characters are chosen, we will useand
Round 2 begins. Characters are locked in for this tournament, so we proceed on to stage selection for Round 2.
Round 2's match starts, and
However, this is where another restriction comes in. Known as "Dave's Stupid Rule", the restriction states that you can not pick a stage on which you have already won a game in the current set (unless your opponent agrees to allow you to do so).
Thus, after
This process repeats until either player has won the set, whether that is best 2/3 or best 3/5.[/spoiler]
Hope that helps. Feel free to tweak things as you see fit or clarify where you feel it is needed.
