Singles RULES

-8 minute time limit on all matches. Items off.

-Ties are broken by remaining lives, then %. If both criteria are tied, then the Sudden Death match will be played out.

-First stage is random from the Neutral stages listed below.

-Each player is allowed to reset the random stage once; this forces a new random stage to be picked. If the new stage has been previously reset by either player during the same set, that stage is reset again. (Random Stage Reset)

-The loser of the first match will announce a new stage to play on for the next game. The winner will then be allowed to switch characters, followed by the loser. Apply the same logic for the third match (and fourth/fifth when applicable) if there is one. (Advanced Slob Picks)

-No stage may be used twice in a single set if the counter-picking player has already won on that stage, unless the opponent agrees to use the stage again.

-Double Blind character pick can be called at anytime before the first game of a set starts, and only apply to the first game.

-Each person may choose one counter-pick stage to be disabled for the entire set at the START OF THE SET, after characters have been chosen but before the random stage has been picked. You may not ban neutral stages.

-Controller Mods, Glitches (IC Freeze Glitch, Mewtwo Soul Stunner, etc), and tactics used to stall a match (wall-bombing, rising pound), are banned.

-Wobbling is not banned.

Brackets:

Bracket matches are best 2 of 3, 4 stock.
Winners' bracket finals, losers' bracket finals, and championship sets are all best 3 of 5.

Stages:

Singles Neutral: Final Destination, Dream Land 64, Fountain of Dreams, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Pokemon Stadium
Singles counterpicks: all Singles Neutral stages plus Pokefloats, Rainbow Cruise, Jungle Japes, Kongo Jungle 64, Mute City, Brinstar, Green Greens, Corneria.

Doubles Rules:
Same as above Save Friendly Fire will be On!
Also some stage counterpicks will be different, most of you already know which so don't bother us...>.>:laugh:

Yup 50% Prize money for doubles!!!! So everyone stick around for it...however if there is only 8 teams, the winning team can only expect $40 dollars =( Tell more people! If you beat any players tell them theres a doubles tourney too! Preorder Brawl so you get basically free entrance since we take $5 off for Pre-Ordering that day ZOMG.

Edit: Thanks Cam for setting the date right =P

Last time we had alot of people, and it was the first big one we ran, it took about 3 hours, and now since we have more experience we can get things done alot faster, and we are hoping for the same turnout. Doubles shouldnt take too long also, if you are willing to wait through singles.

The PnT tourny you went to probably was not located in a convenient location for the players. Or maybe there was a bigger tournament that day. I can assure you there are much more than just 2 players that know how to L-cancel at this tourny and all the other goody smash mind tricks.

guess what, I just heard from my friend that he's going to go to the tournament and he's pretty terrible. I can't wait to see the look on his face the day after he gets pwned at that tourney lol

Minor lag chillz! Yah only first for doubles because we are the first Play N Trade to try out, or atleast first nearby that I know of, so we wanna see the turn out. I might be able to convince a concilation prize for second and third though...all depends on the turn out. I hope alot fo people come and I hope alot stay for doubles.

Oh and considering DSF has won all of our tourneys I think the managers might be banning returning champions aka DSF to give other people a chance :( Not sure though if they are actually going through with this or are just kidding.:urg:

For sure JTB? Because if you are it seems like we might get the minimum of 8 Teams to do the doubles tourney!

Note again for others* Dont have a teammate, we pair you up with one ;)

We keep 4-5 tvs running at all times, the 5th tv usually plays with people who brought thier own controllers simply because we only have 8...9 including mine so no problems there. Id like to wrap up singles in 2 in a half hours and then we can get on to doubles ot keep people from waiting...we will also start some doubles as singles finals are drawing to an end.

Sorry guys, its too much short notice what with letting customers know and all, I hope you guys are still coming on the 9th! I also think I can convince for a certain funny consolation prize for second and third for doubles.

Oh yah and our new ruling for tourneys is the champion of two consecutive tourneys can't come to the next, so for now that means Alex( DSF) can't participate in this tourney, but the following one.:( Sorry
