RESULTS

2) 2Shea

3) eet
4) Mrmario&watch



-------


PROCEDURE:

All participants must post their friend code in this thread by 2:00 Eastern tomorrow. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.

As soon as pools are posted, you may start contacting people to play your matches. We recommend email, aim, private messaging, the Wifi Wars chat, Smashboards chat, and the Smashboards matchfinder.

We highly recommend being connected via chat, skype, aim or other real-time messager to your opponent.

ALL MATCHES ARE TO BE COMPLETED BY 10PM EASTERN TIME.

Judges and referees will be on hand from 12:00pm-10pm Eastern. You may start playing prior to noon, Sat 3/29, but refs will not be on hand to handle any disputes.

Lag:
If a match lags, you will have to play through it. Lag is expected in online play, in particular in brawl. Like randomness in poker, it is something you will need to play around.

If a match lags out, you will have to replay it.

REPORTING MATCHES:
When you finish a match, post in your pool's thread the results.

Losers of matches are strongly encouraged to report their own results. We will accept winners reporting, but losers have better validity.

We recommend taking a digital picture of the victory screen if you foresee a dispute. If the match is under 3 minutes, you can use Brawl's built in save feature.

A thread will list active referee for a particular region. If you have a dispute, contact them.

Your result will be reflected in the first post by a regional referee. If you do not see it posted within an hour, please contact a ref to make sure it gets counted.

IF YOU DO NOT PLAY ALL OF YOUR MATCHES:
All unplayed matches will be counted as a loss. Do not leave matches until the last minute, or you might find yourself unable to complete them.

It is recommended that you save drafts and histories of any pms, emails and ims that you send. If, after the deadline, you can prove that you made an effort to contact an opponent who did not respond, you will receive a victory. You will have to prove that you made multiple efforts and made yourself available.

Again, disputes should be directed to the referees listed in the stickied topic.

PROGRESSION:
To advance to day 2 (double elimination), you must be one of the top 2 players from your pool.

Only the top 2 will advance.

However, if you lose any (or all) of your matches, you are not "eliminated." All participants are encouraged to play as many of their pool matches as they wish. After all, this is for fun. Make some friends, get some friend codes, and learn some new tricks.

If you choose to drop out: POST IN YOUR POOL'S THREAD. If you drop out, everyone who you have not played will receive a W. Those whom you have beaten will still receive Ls.

RULES:

Singles - Rules

Stalling:
Excessive stalling is defined as using any glitch or tactic to make your character completely untouchable by an opponent for an excessive amount of time. Using such tactics will result in a match forfeit. Players must submit video evidence to demonstrate that this rule has been violated for the referee to rule in their favor. Also, please note that running away within the normal bounds play or camping ledges does not constitute stalling.

Lag:
No Johns. Lag is not an acceptable excuse for quitting out of a game. A player that quits out during gameplay without the permission of a referee will automatically forfeit that game. Video evidence must be submitted to a referee to prove that this rule has been broken for the forfeit to go into effect. Without video proof, players must complete the match.

Video:
All players are encouraged to record every single match and save those files until the opponent has properly reported the results. Video files can be used as proof in the event that an opponent cheats or lies.

Referees:
Referee contact information will be posted with each pool. Players should only contact referees in the case of a rule violation and they must present video evidence in this instance. Any disrespect or harassing of referees will not be tolerated and will result in disqualification. Referee rulings are final.

Most of all:

HAVE FUN

My codes are in my profile. My Brawl name's Ulti.

I'll have no access to a computer all day, unfortunately. I'll be on Brawl in an open room with all your FCs added; just join the room and we'll play best of five 2-stock matches. I'll record each one and we'll sort out the winners later tonight.

*sigh* So you posted, meaning you signed on, yet you didn't reply to my PM, and now you're offline. (-.-)

For the record, I left PMs for everyone quite a while ago. No one's responded yet.

1 MM&W, 3 Ultimatum479. GGs. Sorry about the lag screwing up your Up-B twice; it screwed me up a lot too (-.-)

This really shouldn't be this laggy.

Anyway, anyone else want a match?

3-1, me versus eet, GGs

Wow, this is ****ing laggy. Whoever came up with this Pool idea didn't take into account the fact that Nintendo apparently has no dedicated servers in Florida.

Attention all players of the pool.

I am now accepting matches from everyone. I am currently adding everyone's FC. Hope to see you online soon. Thanks.

First match, 2Shea appears to have disconnected. Likely a ragequit judging by the fact that it occurred immediately after he lost a life while dealing only about 30% damage.

EDIT: 2Shea's brother appears to have been playing for him. We'll start anew. 3-0, me.

With a tragic Dair miss using Sonic, 2Shea gave away the first life, but nearly came back, during our last match. :D

Good games, 2Shea.

With 3 wins against the 3 other opponents in the pool, I guess that guarantees me a spot in the games tomorrow. Whee.

Interestingly, my match against 2Shea wasn't laggy at all. The other two were. Maybe it's not _entirely_ a Florida thing.

Good game Ulti.

3-0 Ulitmatum479.

His win.

Was a lot of fun, you're definitely an amazing player. Hope to play you again sometime :)

EDIT: Still awaiting replies from the other contestants. Curious to what will happen if they don't contact me by the deadline.

Thanks. ^_^ Maybe we'll play again tomorrow, actually, if you win against the other two.

So the way things currently are, whoever wins between 2Shea and eet is going to continue to day 2 with me.

2Shea: In answer to your question, your match with MM&W will probably be considered a draw, since you both tried to contact each other but were on at different times. eet, however, hasn't made an effort to contact you to my knowledge, so he'd forfeit his match, which leaves him at WLL and you at WL, which means you'd win.

10 minutes until the deadline, and I have yet to be contacted by the other two participants. I have attempted to contact them via PM, and through the thread here.

I'm not sure what this means, so we may need help from someone on this.

Oh, they didn't PM you? Okay, you win the matches, then. That's WWL for you, WLL for eet, and LLL for MM&W, so you and I go to the next round. Whee. :D Hope to play you again soon, then! ^_^
