* All sets with the possible exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches. Finals/championship will be best of 5
*In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors
* No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
* If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.
* Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.
* If a game ends with Bowser doing his suicide klaw and it ends in sudden death, the sudden death will be ignored and that game will count as a win for Bowser.
* You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility, so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.
* Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.

* Stalling in general is banned!

If my work schedule permits, I'll be able to make it this time. I think Grape **** is tied up on Saturdays for a while, but I could possibly bring Merio.

What's the venue & entry fee for this? Can't seem to find it on the page...
The address is located at the top of the post, and on their host site towards the bottom left under HARRISBURG MALL. The entry fee is also located at the top of this post, and on their host site underneath the picture according to the game. hbcpga.com
The venue fee is calculated in with the entrance fee, it isn't separate.
Hope that helps :).

Hey Damon I am bringing a group of about 5 people up to this event, but it is a club function so in order to get reimbursed for participation, we are going to need receipts. Is this doable?

If you pre-register on the site via Paypal, you can print your receipts from there.

EDIT: Having just done this myself, I want to point out that regardless of which game or type of tournament (singles or doubles) picked, Paypal will default to Melee Singles for $20. In the special instructions area, just note which game and tournament you are entering, like "Melee Singles" or "Brawl Doubles." HBC brings a pre-register list with them to the event so everything can be cleared the day of.

I'll talk to T-boy, I'm sure we can work something out. Paypal would by your best and most certain option though.
