$10 Entry for Smash for Wii U Singles
$5 Entry for Brawl Singles
$5 Entry per person for Wii U Doubles (10 per team)

Rules: These rules apply to all events, specific events below. If you have any questions about the rules, please ask up front rather than waiting till after a match to ask. It could be too late!

General Gameplay:

- 2 Stock (Both Wii U and Brawl)
- 6 min stock timer (Both Wii U and Brawl)
- Items are set to "off" and "none"
- If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage. If there is a tie, see the tiebreaker section to follow.
- Controller ports will be decided by players. If there is a conflict, we prefer using the G&W Hammer method to determine who gets to choose.
- You may switch controller ports on your counterpick only.
- BYOC (Bring your own controller). I recommend having a spare, just in case. If you don't have one, I might have a few for sale.
- Any controller malfunction mid match is on you. If you need to reset, your opponent will have to agree to a reset as doing so will require you to pause the match. (if pause is on).
- Stalling is banned. You know what this is, ask if you're unsure.
- If you freeze the game on an action initiated by your character, you lose the game. You are expected to know the boundaries of your character. (This rarely, if ever, happens.)
- Pause is recommended to be turned on for quick resets, but players can request it be turned off for the duration of their match.
- If a player pauses the match mid game (accidentally or intentionally), it is a stock loss to the player who pressed it (unless for valid interruption at T.O's discretion).
- For a match ending in sudden death, please refer to the tie break section of the rules below.

- Coaching mid-match is banned. Don't do it.
- You cannot re-select a stage you have won on as a counterpick.
- Any and all infinites (basically, where someone can control the opponent without them being able to do anything about it) must end at 300%, otherwise it becomes stalling. All infinites are entirely legal otherwise.
- ALL sets are best 2 of 3 games, with the following exceptions: Wii U Doubles top 3, Brawl top 3, Wii U top 4
- 2 stage bans on your opponents counterpick
- Custom moves/equipment are banned on default weeks, otherwise they are set in pre-sets on each console.
- Wii U Gamepads/3DS/2DS are not a legal controller for use.
- Default Mii with 1-1-1-1 are legal for tournament play in non-customs. You must use either Guest A or Guest B.

- Mewtwo, Roy, Ryu, and Lucas are all legal in tournament play. All consoles must contain these characters.
- In Brawl, Metaknight and Ice Climbers are banned.



Set Procedure:

1. Character selection
2. Stage strike 1-2-1

3. Play Game 1
4. Winning player announces ban stages (2 bans) for the set
5. Loser of previous match announces next match's stage
6. Winner of previous match chooses characters
7. Loser of previous match chooses characters
8. Play next game
9. Rinse and repeat 4-8 if set goes to a third game.


Tie Breaking:


Note: Tiebreaking is only initiated if the game started a sudden death round upon completion. Otherwise, the game declared winner is the winner of the match.

1. Winner is determined by highest stock count then lowest percent. If the % were tied or the match ended in a simultaneous death, proceed to step 2.
2. 1 stock, 3 minute match is played as a tiebreaker match. The winner of this match wins the round. If there is a tie in this match, proceed to step 3.
3. A second 1 stock, no time limit match is played. If a simultaneous death is initiated (such as swallocide) in this match, the initiator loses the match. There is no tie for this match, it is play until you win.


Conduct Rules:

- No intrusive Cosmetic hacks permitted (no altering characters to look like master chief, no reversing the ice climbers colors, etc.)
- Drugs/Alcohol are banned from Xanadu. Don't let me see any, smell any, etc. We'll send you home packing.
- Intentionally disrupting someone mid-match intentionally or accidentally is not acceptable. Please do your best to make sure you are not disrupting a match. This can result in a penalty at T.O.'s discretion.
- Don't lose anything you're bringing to the event please, we are not liable for lost/stolen etc.
- TTL Rule: You must register for the event in person, on-time. Once the registration deadline is closed, no further entries will be permitted. Do not try to call me in advance to hold the bracket.
- Collusion of any kind (asking, intentionally throwing matches yourself, "agreeing to split", etc.) is subject to instant disqualification from all events, forfeiture of all prizes, banning of said players from stream matches and a potential 1 event suspension at the T.O's discretion.

I'm not a staff member, but I'd assume it's because they are both extremely overcentralizing and powerful, while also being quite boring to watch. It might seem like a stupid reason, but when you're trying to revive a game, removing the two characters that invalidate most matchups and are incredibly linear and uninteresting is very important in keeping people interested.

Banning MK and ICs is the right thing to do! It makes the game SO much more enjoyable to watch! Making it 2 stock 6 minutes is kind of annoying though :/

A reminder that this is happening on saturday! Make sure you come out!

ICs/MK are banned because they overcentralize the metagame and honestly are boring. Can't wait to see what people can do without those characters.

Awesome! Can't wait to see Brawl again. I'll be tuning in when it starts. Good luck to those playing, and be careful not to trip.

Tbh that's kind of an opinion. Almost every top player uses Metaknight and IC's is a very popular choice as well There would probably a bigger backlash if Brawl was still relevant nowadays.
