Road to WHOBO Series Tournament Rules

These events will go by the standards of the EDITED Unity Ruleset.

Unity Ruleset can be found here: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=301032


EDITS to the ruleset are as follows:

1. MK is legal in singles AND doubles.
2. There cannot be 2 MKs on one team in 2vs2.
3. The LGL is 50 for all characters and 35 for MK.
4. MK cannot choose RC/Brinstar as a stage under any circumstance.
5. MK's IDC glitch is banned

If you have any questions, just ask in this thread or any circuit thread.




Road to WHOBO Series Payouts

Payouts will be extended throughout every event. It will be based on a two-tier scale.

For 49 players or less:
1st=48%
2nd=22%
3rd=14%
4th=8%
5th=4%
5th=4%

For 50 players or more:
1st=40%
2nd=21%
3rd=15%
4th=10%
5th=5%
5th=5%
7th=2%
7th=2%

The final event will likely see payouts extend even further as well as a pot bonus.




Road to WHOBO series Lockdown

Lockdown:

The priority of circuit events over all other tournaments. Out of city traveling to all tournaments not a circuit event is discouraged. What this means is that there will be no Hobos, Phases, Nikefests, etc. during this time.

This does a couple of things.

-Encourages people to attend all circuit events from the desire to play/compete.
-Saves extra money that would be used for the attendance of other tournaments. This in turn helps give everybody the resources to attend.

We still encourage all local tournaments, smashfests, etc. to be held in your own cities at any point not during the circuit. This allows you to practice, train, and stay focused during the periods between each event.

Man these rulesets always crack me up with stuff like no double MK and special LGL limits. So silly.

So are you actually TOing the houston event?

 

[Igetitpoppin01]

****ing hype.

 

[Xyro77]

Man these rulesets always crack me up with stuff like no double MK and special LGL limits. So silly.

I agree but there is really only 3 options and of those only 1 is truly viable.

Ban him
or
Keep him legal (unrestricted)
or
Keep him legal (restricted)

One option is what i WANT. One option is straight insane. One option is the "middle of the road." In order to revive/keep the scene alive i cant totally crap on one side.

So are you actually TOing the houston event?

Yes i will be personally running the first event and the last event. if any TO requests my help for their event ill drive there and help too.

 

[Mr. game and watch]

Get hype, TX.

[Gnes]

I'm interested in the people interested in this.

 

[*Cam*]

I'm glad you guys decided to do this.

 

[RT]

I'm interested that Gnes is interested in the people interested in this.

 

[Smoom77]

Why are static teams encouraged?

 

[Mr. game and watch]

Idk why xyro thinks so, but I have a static teammate because of what Mekos said.
He told me that a big problem with American dubs is no one has a static team mate, so you don't learn to have symmetry with your teammate.

USA is bad at dubs

 

[Fliphopper]

I'm getting top 5

 

[Good Ol' Tree]

This is pretty great. I'll come out and support what I can.

 

[DeLux]

MK y

Xyro y

 

[Nike.]

Idk if this is an issue or not.

C.J. (Marth main from FL) will be in TX in Febuary. He's gonna be in San Antonio for a day or two and I will be hosting a semi-big smashfest/tourney (like a Nikefest 4.5 or something). It will most likely be big enough to get alot of SA to show up. I guess my issue is if this would be considered during the Lockout period. If not (and OoC travel is actually encouraged), I might make a thread for it and hype it as such but I don't want to harm attendance for LCS2.

Also, hype.

 

[DeLux]

I am so hype for this though

Brawl ain't going quietly into the night

 

[Gea]

So uhh, can I run Melee at the Houston events?

That pressure game. Too good.

 

[Sinister Slush]

So the LSC2 is actually starting up eh?
Good. I'm gonna try attending them all once Leaf. moves in.

 

[Espy Rose]

I'm in as much as I can be.

 

[Nike.]

[Espy Rose]

Wrong thread Nike.

 

[Reizilla]

Texas smash is dead.

 

[Player-4]

Gnes go static with me

 

[z00ted]

I'm interested in the people interested in this.

 

[KoNfucius]

I show up to the sa one, maybe bring new people but you can't force me to play.

 

[Sinister Slush]

In the event of the first two tournaments not even passing 17 entrants, will this continue still, or no?

 

[Mr. game and watch]

Who's tyler? 4 still will for sure..
We'd probably have to discuss that in the FB group

 

[Smoom77]

Why are static teams encouraged?

[KoNfucius]

Is m2k gonna show up and steal our money again?

 

[Xyro77]

Why are static teams encouraged?

[/QUOTE]

gffffvvnnbhj

people who team with each other all the time LEARN each other. they learn how each other acts in a team setting and thus can combo off of each other or read each others movement to set up traps. yes people can do that on the fly but ive never seen such deep and beautiful team work come from those types of teams. its the teams like espy/kprime and gnes/razer that really prove static teams are crazy good.

 

[ravemaster47]

FOR TYLER!

 

[knuckles213]

I'm going to try to make all except for "who's tyler"

 

[UltimateRazer]

Do it, I'd definitely attend and 50% chance I would enter.......brawl.......

If melee is allowed, I will definitely not attend and there is a -50% chance I would enter......brawl......

That reverse pressure game.

Not really, melee is cool.

 

[Zano]

Gnes plays persona so I'll vote for the thing that gets him to come.
