Yo guys, Max Ketchum/juice.Doom here with an amazing special event from Hitbox Arena!
Facebook event page here
While we usually have our Super Smash Saturdays events every weekend, we decided that this weekend would be something special. Instead of having Melee and Brawl alongside PM, we're going all-out on Project M for this event. Singles, doubles, and a 3v3 crew battle! If you're part of a team or just have some close friends that you want to enter with, come show us what you're made of!
We're currently in talks with a bunch of powerful crews in the region--Free Saltines from New York, HBA Easton Smash from Pennsylvania, and some New England/Maryland/Virginia representatives as well. We're really trying to make this event huge, so please come support and get a taste of the amazing competition that will be present.
ADDRESS:
25 Kinnelon Road
Kinnelon, NJ 07405

This event will be streamed on Smash24, which is a 24 hour Smash channel set to launch later in 2014.

RULES (Project M): 4 stock, 8 minute time limit
All items set to off and none
Sets are best of 3, winners/losers/grand finals are best of 5.
Either player may call for a double blind character selection for the first match.
Dave's Stupid Rule: A player may not counterpick any stage he or she has already won on in a set.
Controller ports decided by rock paper scissors if no agreement is reached. For doubles, ports are 1-2-2-1.
Team attack is on, share stock is allowed.
If the game is paused, the player who did not pause the game may choose to make the player who paused the game lose a stock. Gameplay resumes normally afterward.
Quitting out of a match before it is over will result in a loss for the player who quit.
If time runs out, the player who is winning by stock and percent is declared the victor. In the case of a stock and percent tie, a 1 stock 3 minute match will be played with the same characters and stage.
If a match goes to sudden death due to a suicide move, the player who initiated the move is declared the victor.
Buffer is disabled.
Custom controls are allowed, controllers with performance-enhancing modifications such as turbo buttons are not. Modifications that do not explicitly alter performance, such as swapped analog sticks or springless shoulder buttons, are allowed.
In the event of a game crash or power outage, the set count remains the same as prior to the crash, and the match that was being played is restarted with the same characters and stage. If a player intentionally initiates a game crash via glitch, he/she takes a game loss.
Mid-match coaching is allowed if both players have only one coach each. Pre-match coaching or consultation is unrestricted.
Giga Bowser is banned.
