This will be a singles Brawl tournament. Basically we're looking for anyone in Arkansas (or close neighboring states if you want to travel) to come show us what you can do. If you live around Arkansas or in Arkansas and you can't/don't want to come to the tournament, then let me, YOSHssb, know that you exist and we'll play online. We'll definitely be in for a fun-filled day of smash. We should have about 3-5 TVs set up so we'll be able to cycle through the pairings pretty quickly and if you want/need to spend the night in Conway, let me know in advance and we'll try to work something out. Hope a lot of people show up; we'll have a blast.
Rules:
No Items
3-stock
8-minute timer
Double Elimination
Best 2/3 for normal matches
Grand Final (Winner's bracket winner vs. Loser's bracket winner) best 3/5
For the first game of each match, random neutral stage:
Final Destination
Battle Field
Smashville
Yoshi's Island
Also, each person is entitled to play any character he wishes for the first round of each match (no preset main to start each match). Players have the option to call for a double blind pick on the first round and if this is wanted, each player will tell his or her starting character to a moderator and neither can change. Once the first game is finished, the loser will state a counter stage:
Any of the 4 starters
Halberd
Pokemon Stadium 1
Lylat Cruise
Delfino Plaza
Castle Siege
Rainbow Cruise
Corneria
Frigate Orpheon
Norfair
Pictochat
After the loser of the first round has stated his counterpick stage, the winner then selects his character for the next game. After the winner picks his character, the loser picks his character and the match is played out. If there is a 3rd match, the process is the same.
Each player is allowed one stage to ban if he or she so chooses and a player is not allowed to counterpick a stage he or she has already won on in that particular match unless his or her opponent agrees to it.
After a match is over, report the results to a moderator and we will continue with the tournament.
Prizes:
There is a $5 entry fee
Winner takes home 70% of the total pot
Second place gets 20%
Third place gets 10%
Trophies may be awarded to first, second, and third place but we have not decided on this yet.
Side notes:
NO STALLING - stalling is ultimately left to a moderator to decide. Stalling is basically any strategy that keeps you away from your opponent in order to run out the timer in order to win or force a sudden death.
Sudden Death will NEVER be played. Ever. If the timer runs out in a match, it will first be decided by who is up on stock, and then damage. If the rare case occurs where the stock and damage are the same when time runs out, the players will play a 2-minute, 1-stock match on the same stage with the same characters and the winner of that wins the game.
Any move that suicides on the final life (Ganondorf's side-B, Bowser's side-B, Kirby/Dedede's neutral-B, etc...) will be a victory to the player that caused the death. So, to clarify, if a Dedede has 200% damage and his opponent has 20% and the Dedede sucks up the opponent and they both die, then the Dedede wins regardless of the huge different in percentage.
Absolutely no using Meta Knight's infinite cape. All other "glitches" if you want to call them that or strategies with other characters are allowed.
Final Thoughts:
That's the basic gist of the way the tournament will be run. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask and I really hope you consider coming out.
