You may wish to take a look at the pot split... but otherwise the tournament looks great! It's customary for the venue to take ~$5 from each player for running the tournament... but the rest usually gets split between first/second/third. So in this case with a $15 entry... you could get away with keeping 40% But I'd recommend doing like a 45%/10%/5% split between first/third second.

TBH a 45%/15%/5% would probably be best.

Of course I'm from GA so I won't be attending... if anything were keeping people from coming that would probably be it though.

Oh, and looking over the rules one more time... you should probably implement a timer. Most games shouldn't take more than 5 minutes, but if you give people all the time in the world they'll take it... most games won't get played out to time but it's important to have. I'd recommend 8 minutes.

While a timer shouldn't be necessary with stalling banned, if two players are simply standing there it's impossible to tell which one is stalling. Plus, it's hard to enforce.

And then you make a simple rule where if the time runs the player with more stock (or if on same stock ignore sudden death: The lower percentage) wins.

And you should probably include a rule for attacks which kill both players at the same time. (Like if Kirby or Dedede uses their swallow to suicide with the player inside of them.)

There's a few of these(Kirby, D3, Ganondorf, Wario). The rules aren't as cut and dry for this. But usually you say "go with what the screen says, if it's sudden death the player who initiated the move (Wins/Loses)" -- I'm not sure what the Florida standard is. It's not a big deal, you should just have something so disputes don't come up.

EDIT: Oh, and watch the brackets. When people sign up find out if they're from north or south florida, or out of state. Have like four different categories for this... and seed by location so people aren't travelling to play the people they play all the time... noone likes that :) And when you do a teams tourney, do it first and put teammates on the opposite sides of brackets... so assuming no losses they don't have to play until winners finals. Brackets can ruin great tournaments.

I think that's about all that needs to be said... I hope you get a lot of attendance!
