NO THANKS DAD! Invatational

its not really invatational, everyone can come I just though invatational had a nice ring to it.

Results from Previous tourneys

lukes pro brawl tourney: http://www.smashboards.com/showthrea...=212656&page=8
Mario Pro: http://www.smashboards.com/showthrea...212656&page=19

When?
The 31st of May, 11:00 am till 8:00 pm

Where:
National Hockey Centre, 196 Mouat St Lyneham
the room is called the carter brown room



Important addition!
if you have equipment it would be nice if you could be there 15 mins early
also we will start at 11:30 so that gives you 30mins to register and then warm up with
some friendlys, if you think your gonna be really late ring me and we'll sort something else.


What do I need to bring:
if you could bring a tv or wii with brawl to help out that would be nice but otherwise
you only need to bring $15 and a controller.


Costs and Prize's:
$15 entry fee, prize money depends on how many people come,
expect first prize to be over $100


Other info:
Dickson shops is nearby and there will be a lunch break sometime during the day.
there is also some vending machines downstairs from the room we're in.
I am 19 and throwback who is also running this with me is 26 so there will be adult supervision.


Whats on?

First up there will be Brawl Doubles,
followed by Brawl singles
and if there is time at the end there will be a single large crew battle, what up!

also if there is time at the end of the day there will be melee friendlys, but anyone
wanted to change a TV to melee must first gain approval from me or I'll luigi Fsmash you (I'll probably break my fingers, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it)


Rules:

ok so how does it work?

We will be using the swiss system rules for singles.
after a set amount of rounds, the players with the top 8 scores will move into a double elimanation bracket for the finals.

swiss sytem rules for anyone that doesnt know are as follows,
you play 2 match's for each opponent you vs. and get 1 point for winning each match
so you can either win 1 each, 2points, or no points.
the first round your opponents are selected at random, then after each round the scores are updated and you vs someone with the same score as you, so idealy you are always fighting people around your skill level.

double's will simply be a double elim bracket.

I will be following the SBR ruleset more or less which can be found here: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=187735

one major change from the SBR list however:
for the singles swiss matchs you may only play neutral levels and instead of randomly selecting a level
you will each take turns knocking one out till only one level remains, that level is the one you will play.
In the event that you cant decied who knocks out a level first, paper scissors rock!

also in doubles or in the finals on singles when counterpicking stages, you get 1 stage ban that must be declared before the opponent picks the stage they want.


ACT SPECIAL RULES:
rule 1. no infinites, pretty simple.
rule 2. if your name is tedeth then your not allowed to lose a single round of siwss.
rule 3. Any and all matches played against Meteor Master must be played on spear pillar no exceptions!
rule 4. Any doubles matches played against Tcranter and Meteor Master must be played on pictochat no exceptions!
rule 5. if you play mario or a mario character you are a mario pro and recieve max respect.
rule6. no infinets, no wall infinets, no grab infinites, no infinte infintes, just dont do it

Am I allowed to cg spike this time?

Also, I'm not playing meteor master on spear pillar. So I think I'll give this tourney a miss.

Unless you guys don't mind me loving to play on bridge of eldin/shadow moses with dedede.

Wall Infinites are half of why people even counterpick specific stages.

Hell you've got every gay stage in the game, and you're not going to allow the one that let's matches actually go for less than 7-8 minutes?

what? I just thought stage diversity was good, but I dont care why people pick stages, ifinites are gay and take lots of skill out of the game, "hey look at me I can hold down and spam a" good job!

oh no you le didn'.

Sorry Luke, I really wanted to come, but I talked to Toby a bit, and I've got no way of getting to Canberra, or returning from Canberra, in a timely or safe fashion. Parent's unwillingness to drive for a video game is pretty disheartening. :[ Have to wait until July when I get my P's! Also for a heads up, I'll be in Canberra sometime in August for 3 days for an ADFA Open Day, so maybe you could host some epic smash meet/tournament for the Sunday for epic win. I'll talk to you with dates sooner or later.

ok zero I'll look forward to it, just a heads up though, if you catch a murrays bus (more like a coach) from central to jollimont (a place in canberra) its timely (maybe 3 hours) its safe (much safer than trains) and if you get it early enough its like $15 or if your a bit later maybe $20 or $30, thats one way though, so just double whatever it is.
And then I can pick you up from jollimont and take you back there, this applies for anyone, so getting here and staying is really quite easy.

I'm also happy to pick up Sydney people who come down on the buses. You probably end up paying less by bus than you would if you drove yourself.

Luke, ive found a problem with the times. The first bus from central gets there at 12.30. So, unless you are interested in hosting 2 nights, ill be a bit late, as will others coming from sydney.

but I'm pretty sure murrays busses leave central as early as 6 am

Can I get some hosting for the Saturday and Sunday nights? If you guys do I'll be sure to attend this one.
So what is it? Catch a train to Central and then a bus to Jollimont on a "Murray Bus"?

stuvac? some kind of uni holiday?
yea you guys can stay both nights, swordsaint got it right, just look up like murray busses on google and book it there and back, catching it back sometime before 1pm on monday would be preferable.

No infinites is a rule that makes my head churn with churniness. What exactly constitutes an infinite?

e.g. can I hobble you (which is escapable and has a definite end even if you don't escape; i.e. it's not an infinite combo)?

Also what Shaya said about it's your own fault for getting into the infinite etc. But yeah I'd like to know what exactly I can and can't do, I hear all this talk about banning stuff that aren't (at least imo) infinites so it's kinda confusing.



Also I may come. I'll bring a Wii if I do, and possibly a TV. What bus are people catching?

see its like this, and dont take this as me like personally attacking you cause I know you use IC's but I feel its like hey I grabbed you, now I can just chain you and kill you, sure I know it is pretty hard to do but once you burn it into your muscle memeory its like wow I grabbed you once and that was it, game over.

what shaya said is silly, its not your fault if you make 1 little mistake that gets capitalised on, no one can play a perfect game.
I will admit though that I dont know too much about IC's so help me out here guys, lets discuss.
also of course you can come, anyone can come.

Bottom of the tier list.

Well, ICs aren't top tier for a reason. Regardless of their grab game, they still don't have TOO much going for them. Might as well just use the standard only to 300% rule.
