Attendance

If you are going to be no more than 10 minutes late, please contact the TO who's tournament you are entering. Shoot them a text, or better yet call them because they will most likely be running round taking care of things. They will add you to the tournament you request to enter in. Make sure you have your money ready. If the first game of the tournament has started and you call, it's too late to enter. So if you think you are going to be late, call.

Tournament Priority

As you can see, this event is on a tight schedule. If you are cross-entered in a tournament (entered in multiple tournaments) and you have a more than one match to play at once, the tournament with the higher entry fee takes priority.

Brawl > 64/Melee/P:M > SSF4:AE/MK9/UmVC3/Skull Girls/Mario Kart Wii

For example, If you are waiting to play a tournament match for Melee but you get called for a tournament match in Brawl, you must leave the Melee station and come play your Brawl match.

However, if a tournament match is already going on in any game, you will not be required to leave until said match is complete. You must report to your next match immediately afterwards.

Tournament matches have priority over any money match.

Pools

Pools will be run to determine proper seeding for all events throughout the day. (time permitting)

Small Practice Stage 2

Medium Practice Stage 2

We will be using what has become a tournament standard: stage striking and counterpicking

1: How striking works: Both players must first select their character, electing to *Double blind pick* if they want. Player 1 (for dispute purposes, P1 is the lower number of the bracket) will "strike" 1 neutral stage. Player 2 will then "strike" 2 neutral stages. Player 1 will "strike" 1 stage. The only remaining neutral stage will be played for game 1 of the set.

2: The winning player of round 1 or round 2 may "ban" one stage, removing it as an option either player may pick in the set.

3: The losing Player of round 1/ 2 may choose what stage to go to for round 2/ 3.

4: After a stage is chosen, the winning player can change their character, then the losing player can change their character.

-A Player/Team coming from the losers bracket in GFs must win 2 sets in order to win the tournament, this is because a Player/Team coming from the winner's bracket has not lost a set while the loser bracket Player/Team is down 1 set.

-All players must announce their character before striking game 1.

-Toro's air stall is banned.

Using this technique results in forfeiture of the match.

*Double Blind pick*: If elected. (Both players must tell a neutral third party their character selections)



Pokemon X & Y

2nd-30%

3rd-10%

What's the info on their internet? Ohana's seemed sturdy enough whenever it was hosted over there, so hopefully it should be just as good.

Looking good.:cool:
It annoys me to see JNig's name spelled with a "q" lol. If this were the weekend before the 25th I would have been 100% guaranteed to go. Now it's a huge maybe. :/

The N64 TO Jwulf should have housing for TX N64 players already. Its not confirmed but its a strong maybe right now. I'm sure he could fit in some FL players. I'll chat with him about it and get back to you.


Besides that I'm housing up to ten people in Slidell then riding in, in the morning. Denti and Sync's brawl crews from TX have sqauters rights on it but I might be able to fit you guys in if Jwulf doesn't have any room left.

So I'm totally going to this if anyone in Lafayette wants to carpool maybe. Wouldn't mind doing Brawl doubles if anyone wants to partner up.

I'm wondering the same thing. I don't plan on playing, but since it's right around the corner I do plan on getting ****faced and doing some unofficial commentating.
Sidenote: ****faced is an actual word. I figured it would set off spellcheck, but it's legit.

The owners of Lazer tag would like us to park around the right side of the building first before filling up main parking. And NOT TO PARK in the large vacant lot next door at all.

Thanks guys.
