General Rules

Spoiler

#0-Don't be a jerk
#1-No stealing
#2-Don't trip over hippies
#3-Be respectful of other peoples property and person
#4-Be on time for your matches, let the TO know if you are going for a smoke break or food break.
#5-Coaching allowed between matches, not during
#6-You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility (including battery issues with a Wii Remote), so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. Both parties need to agree if a match is to be paused or restarted because of these problems.
HOWEVER
I understand that people play pranks. Joker doesn't know this but on someones wii all of his inputs are set to shield and taunt, so if something like this occurs, I will laugh at you, but your match will be restarted with the understanding that you must change your controls afterwards.
#7--Intentional forfeiting, match fixing and any other forms of bracket manipulation are not allowed and punishable by the TO. Splitting is a touchy subject, but so long as you play your set out, I don't care what you do with your $ or who you share it with.
#8-All hacks must be approved by the TO, specifically stage/character textures. Music is usually fine but I may request that you turn off some specific songs, and you must oblige.

Seeding: I might run pools, if 24 or less everyone will make it to bracket. Otherwise I will be looking for one person per area to assist in seeding. PR rankings will be acknowledged. So make your fake PRs now.

If I assume that there is going to be enough people, I will adjust the schedule to allot for pools for whatever games necessary.

Total Sets> Head 2 Head> Total Games.

* In the event of a X-way tie in Pools after all tiebreakers are exhausted, a best-of-1 round robin will be played out between the X players until there is a clear order of placings.

Melee Rules

Spoiler

* 4 stock, 8:00 minute timer
* Items OFF
* Ties after the time limit are determined by stocks, then by percentage.
* Best of 3 until Winners/Losers/Grand Finals, then it becomes best of 5
* 1 stage ban until best of 5 then no stage bans.
* Wobbling is LEGAL (EVO rule)
* Stalling with Jigglypuff's Rising Pound or Peach's Wall Bomber is banned.
* Glitches such as Ice Climbers' Freeze Glitch, Mewtwo's Soul Stunner, and using Master Hand are banned.
* You May not pick a stage you have already played on unless all players agree.
* In teams matches, ports will be determined in a 1221 fashion; whoever wins G&W Judgement will choose first, then the opposing team will get their ports, and then the teammate of the G&W Judgement winner will get the last port. If there is a conflict in singles, G&W Judgment will determine who chooses port/stage striking first.
* Stalling is banned. Stalling is defined as the act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling, while endlessly grabbing the ledge or flying underneath the stage is.
*In the event pause is left on and is pressed, immediately call over the TO. Based upon the TO's judgment, the situation will be resolved. Punishment may range from nothing, a warning, free attack (will be chosen by the TO and will be character specific), loss of stock/match/set or ejection from venue

Doubles-Specific Rules:
* Life stealing is allowed
* Team Attack is turned ON
* If a player is using the character Falco, Captain Falcon, Sheik Marth or Mario, either team may request that team colors be changed to make it easier to tell the difference between team players.

*Any additional disputes will be up to determination by the tournament organizer.

TLDR; 4 stocks, 8 minutes, WF/LF/GF b/o 5, 1 stage ban until b/o 5 then none, Wobbling is LEGAL (EVO rule)

* No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by all players.
* In teams matches, ports will be determined in a 1221 fashion; whoever wins G&W Judgement will choose first, then the opposing team will get their ports, and then the teammate of the G&W Judgement winner will get the last port. If there is a conflict in singles, G&W Judgment will determine who chooses port/stage striking first.
* Stalling is banned. Stalling is defined as the act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling, while endlessly grabbing the ledge or flying underneath the stage is. Any infinite chain grabs must end immediately after 200% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling. If stalling is confirmed by the tournament organizer, the offending player will forfeit the match.
* In the event of a Bowser/Ganon/Dedede/Kirbycide
#1-If the game goes to sudden death, sudden death is played out
#2-If the game goes to the winner screen, the one who did the suicide move wins.
* If a sudden death is initiated by both players dying at the exact same time or a tie in both stock count and percentage, sudden death will be played out

Punishment may range from nothing, a warning, free attack (will be chosen by the TO and will be character specific), loss of stock/match/set or ejection from venue.
*Any additional disputes will be up to determination by the tournament organizer.

Stage Striking:

1-1-1-1

This new forum set up is lacking the ability to edit when a tournament is?

Edit: SO just because I messed up and didn't fill out a time/date/place the first time I did the thread it won't let me go back and change it?

Beer Pong

Spoiler

Blowing/Fingering is allowed.
One additional cup penalty for missed Blow or Fingering.
Bouncing the ball is 2 cups. If one misses a shot and it hits the table and goes in, it's 2 cups.
Elbow may be at edge of table, not over. The very back of the elbow is still the elbow.
On fire rule.
No celebrity shots unless agreed to by other team.
If one misses, and the ball returns to your side without hitting the ground, you may shoot again, no look behind your back.

Singles-6 Cups.
Doubles 10 Cups

Singles only rule-You may only get the balls back if you make the same cup.

Single Elim Rules/ FFA

Spoiler

Single Elimination Rules
Stage is Always different, using all Legal Stages (including DK64)
"Smash Players" must defeat the CPU with 2 lives or less.
Random Character Select: Depending on participants, PR'd players or Former champions (more likely) will be forced to choose non-mains or Random character.

FFA rules: Must have at least ~12 (16 preferred) players to run. Double Elim. 9 minute timer. No items. 3 matches per round (So a minimum of 6 matches). Character locked during set, not tournament. 7 stages, each player bans 1 stage (Player 1 bans first, Player 4 bans last). 1a, 2b, 2c, 1d. and 2a, 1b, 1c, 2d move on to winners. 3a, 4b, 4c, 3d and 4a, 3b, 3c, 4d move into losers. And so on until there are players who haven't lost yet vs players who have to win to stay alive. Once enough players are eliminated, lvl 9 random CPUs will be added until final 2 player set. If not a full 16 man bracket, CPUs will desolve and people will be reseeded if necessary. Winners are determined by order of matches won, amount of kills total kills, 2nd place finishes and 3rd place finishes.

[Gamegenie222]

Hype also why is there a burning car which a pic of my face next to it? You afraid I gonna break something or someone?

 

[SM3EsH]

this is tight.. kc gents, where you at?

 

[Kit Cal-N]

Single elimination in-game tournament P:M doesn't work.

 

[Gamegenie222]

He's right rob can't be single-elimination.

 

[MegaRobMan]

...he read the OP. You clearly didn't

I asked in there if the tourney mode worked for PM.

 

[Gamegenie222]

Whoops my bad. No it does not. Also if you wondering about stage list then you should use the Apex stage list cause it's the most used and fair stagelist.
https://www.apex-series.com/rules/projectm/

Also here is the top 8 of the Project M tourney at Apex which was more hype than Brawl top 8 in which my dreams were crushed .

[MegaRobMan]

STupid MLG is going to ruin OOS participation for this event :/

WHY CAN'T MLG BE IN NC

 

[Dekuscrub]

Hey I have a group of about 5 people that might come from huron but we would need housing as a hotel is too much for high school students... How many people are you expecting? Any notable players too expect?

 

[MegaRobMan]

Yeah you could have housing.

I expect similar numbers as previous locals, so like 14 people for various events, last time I had like 14 for brawl and 15 for melee or maybe the opposite, idk, I haven't thrown a tournament in a while.

Last nebraska tournaments were in Lincoln at UNL and I expect some of those dudes to be here, nnd then one with 20 people, but half of them were from KS.

What games do you guys play? If you care about melee definitely come up, JBM has been the 2nd best player in a 4 hour radius (so I don't have to include STL smash ) in the last year and a half or so behind darkrain, but if you play brawl there will be people coming to this for that, but a car from KS was planning on coming, and Iowa might come, but it might just be Bpow, idk. If Bpow comes and you play brawl you'd be silly not to come. I also play brawl and was voted the best looking Wolf by the Wolfboards pp

I just announced it, but it's on the same day as this big OOS tournament in Ohio that MLG is sponsoring, so a few people who said they would come are now maybes.

 

[Dekuscrub]

We play melee and project m

 

[Dekuscrub]

We would also be up for a crew battle

 

[MegaRobMan]

In terms of good players, we don't really have them for PM, because we (the PR'd players) just started to play it or haven't quite started yet. We have quite a few up and comers for PM, though, who just need more experience and all that jazz.

Sm3esh got 2nd to Joker (I got 3rd) in like 2012 or 2011, idr, on the like 2nd build of PM.

I got 2nd in a STL tournament this past year, but most of us around here could have done the same.

We'd crew battle you guys in either game, melee for sure for $ if you want but free is cool, idc.

 

[Dekuscrub]

Yeah idk if I would lay money down on our crew mates but it could be fun!

 

[Yeerk]

I'd like to come to this tourney, for PM and maybe Melee. I'll try to get @Urielhelix interested. Taking off work soon.

 

[Gamegenie222]

We would also be up for a crew battle

Yeah idk if I would lay money down on our crew mates but it could be fun!

I be interested in bopping you dudes in some Project M lol. Melee I would have to go back and grind on it for a good week and a half to get used to melee timing again.

Also there as 3 tournaments in the Midwest all on the same day, damn that sucks.

Edit: NMVD there's only 2 on the same day. I read wrong lol.

 

[MegaRobMan]

That's tight, looks like more people are coming than I thought, might be more late interest when people realize Ohio is like 12 hours away and it's a 2 day event

Thereare 3 events, mine, a STL one and the OH one.

 

[Dekuscrub]

Yeah a lot of us are literally just starting last month on melee, but have been playing project m for a couple years but we have two more experienced players

 

[Gamegenie222]

Yeah a lot of us are literally just starting last month on melee, but have been playing project m for a couple years but we have two more experienced players

Nothing to worry about sir we are start from somewhere.

Also @ MegaRobMan alot of kids are learning Project M and it's picking up steam you better get on it.

 

[MegaRobMan]

I played it the other day. I might read up on characters and stuff. I am hosting games this saturday so it's all good.

Yeah a lot of us are literally just starting last month on melee, but have been playing project m for a couple years but we have two more experienced players

Nice, so you guys started on PM? Like have you guys played the other smash games casually beforehand or what?

Who do you guys play as? I don't have a PM main yet.

 

[Dekuscrub]

Our small community has a weird history I guess. I played melee when I was younger for awhile but we started on brawl actually. I found project m and I was like woah it's brawl but balanced and we have played that ever since. That was two years ago. I became a regular on r/smashbros and started learning technical stuff 6 months ago and I have taught them these techniques and I have been playing melee ever since... Also we can bring a wii a gamecube and two crts if you want

 

[Dekuscrub]

Oh I main falco mewtwo and Roy but I sort of play everyone but in melee I play falco. My friend is a marth, and the other ones are undecided

 

[MegaRobMan]

That's cool. I still need to decide on who I should main in PM, sheik would be boring.

 

[Gamegenie222]

I would say learn Ganondorf or Mario for easy characters Rob. Also you check out Squirtle, he's pretty much a Jigglypuff with a little more weight and funky tricks.

If you looking for a fast female type character then I would check it out Zero suit Samus especially with how buffed Tether characters are in this game.

If all else fails, use Link or Charizard lol.

 

[MegaRobMan]

I've thought about Mario and Obviously Link. I basically refuse to play as a Pokemon except for Charizard because he's a "dragon". Jiggs in melee was fun though.

I hate the teather mechanics in PM.

 

[Gamegenie222]

It's godlike for those characters but you grow to hate it alot against those characters cause ledgegrabbing is basically worthless so you have to go off the ledge and smack then away some more but it's easy or hard depending on the character but your risking your butt hard.

 

[MegaRobMan]

I played Jace in PM he plays IVY. I know about it, it's stupid.

 

[Gamegenie222]

That was probably back when Ivysaur was really good back in 2.6. I didnt mess with her much at all back then.

 

[Yeerk]

Her ledgegrabbing didn't change at all. The only difference is all tether hangtimes were cut in half between 2.6 to 3.0. Also if you hang on the ledge yourself, most characters get a free aerial punish when the tether reels in.

Wait, I don't understand how Squirtle is like Jigglypuff?

 

[Gamegenie222]

I mean that as in his horizontal air speed being godlike and Fair and Bair being good as well.

 

[Run DMX]

I would totally be for PM if you would have it.

 

[MegaRobMan]

I am, 100%, running PM, melee and brawl.

 

[MegaRobMan]

I'd run 64 if people had interest. Which means set ups, not necessarily TVs.

Beer Pong is also interest based, but you had to have entered smash event(s) to enter other events unless roommates/significant others to varying degrees, plus not get a DUI.

 

[Dekuscrub]

So when will this shindig start?

 

[MegaRobMan]

Uh..........depends on when people show up lol. I'm not very strict, mostly because I'm a night owl. I have said to have tournaments starting by 2 and half of the locals show up at like 5. Out of state being here at like noonish, earlier than I want to be up lol.

It really depends on how many people we expect. If I expect over 16 total people then I'll try and get it going quicker.

If OOS comes and actually lets me know that they need a strict time frame, I can come up with something.

You asked about housing, is that for firdya, saturday or both? Are you on a t time frame?

I plan on fixing up the rules and stuff tomorrow or sunday/monday.

 

[Dekuscrub]

Well it would be both but we are considering getting a hotel because there are six of us and we are high schoolers

 

[MegaRobMan]

Oh. Well I understand. We have housing here but if you guys can afford a hotel that might be smart because of spacing issues, I really only have 2 extra couches at this point, a lot of space though.

 

[Gamegenie222]

Yo Rob i'm putting this tourney on Tourneylocator.com for a little more notice if you dont mind and in advance.

 

[Gamegenie222]
