Project M 3.0 Singles: 8:00pm

Super Smash Bros. Melee Singles - $10.00 Entry
Super Smash Bros. Melee Doubles - $10.00 Entry
Project M 3.0 Singles - $5.00 Entry
Project M 3.0 Doubles - $5.00 Entry (Per Person)
Side Event - $5.00 Entry Fee



Rules: These rules apply to Brawl (if Brawl winds up being played) and P:M...specific rules to follow. If you have any questions about the rules, please ask up front rather than waiting till after a match to ask. It could be too late!

General Gameplay:

- Items are set to "off" and "none"
- If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage. If there is a tie, see the tiebreaker section to follow.
- All sets in bracket with the exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and grand finals will be best of 3 matches. The finals matches will be a best of 5.
- Controller ports will be decided by players. If there is a conflict, we prefer using the G&W Hammer method to determine who gets to choose.
- You may switch controller ports on your counterpick only.
- BYOC (Bring your own controller). I recommend having a spare, just in case. If you don't have one, I might have a few for sale.
- Any controller malfunction mid match is on you. If you need to reset, your opponent will have to agree to a reset as doing so will require you to pause the match. (if pause is on).
- Stalling is banned. You know what this is, ask if you're unsure.
- If you freeze the game on an action initiated by your character, you lose the game. You are expected to know the boundaries of your character. (This rarely, if ever, happens.)
- Pause is recommended to be turned on for quick resets, but players can request it be turned off for the duration of their match.
- If a player pauses the match mid game (accidentally or intentionally), it is a stock loss to the player who pressed it.
- A match ending in simultaneous death does not go to the initiator. If the result is sudden death from this, use the normal tiebreaking rules (to follow) to determine the winner. Otherwise use who the game declared the winner.

- Coaching mid-match is banned. Don't do it.
- You cannot re-select a stage you have won on as a Counterpick in a set.
- Any and all infinites (basically, where someone can control the opponent without them being able to do anything about it) must end at 300%, otherwise it becomes stalling. All infinites are entirely legal otherwise.



Set Procedure:

1. Character selection
2. Stage strike 1-2-X-1 (X representing the amount of stages per game, as P:M has more starters)

3. Play Game 1
4. Winning player announces ban stage for the set
5. Loser of previous match announces next match's stage
6. Winner of previous match chooses characters
7. Loser of previous match chooses characters
8. Play next game
9. Rinse and repeat 4-8 if set goes to a third game.


Tie Breaking:

Note: Tiebreaking is only initiated if the game started a sudden death round upon completion. Otherwise, the game declared winner is the winner of the match.

1. Winner is determined by highest stock count then lowest percent.
2. In Brawl, verify the LGL was not violated. If both players violated said LGL or neither player did, proceed to step 3.
3. 1 stock, 3 minute match is played as a tiebreaker match. The winner of this match wins the game. If there is a tie in this match, proceed to step 4.
4. A second 1 stock, no time limit match is played. If a simultaneous death is initiated (such as swallocide) in this match, the initiator loses the match. There is no tie for this match, it is play until you win.


Conduct Rules:

- BYOC (already mentioned this)
- No intrusive Cosmetic hacks permitted (no altering characters to look like master chief, no reversing the ice climbers colors, etc.)
- No Drugs/Alcohol on the premises. If you are seen with, or smell of it, you will be removed from the Venue.
- Intentionally disrupting someone mid-match intentionally or accidentally is not acceptable. Please do your best to make sure you are not disrupting a match.
- Don't lose anything you're bringing to the event please, we are not liable for lost/stolen etc.



Sequence of events:

1. Match begins, using 4 stocks, the starter stage is random based off of the neutral stage selections
2. The winner of the match stays on, using his remaining stocks from the first battle to play the next opponent
3. The opposing crew chooses their next player to play in the battle
4. The player coming in has the opportunity to counter pick a stage instead of going random, if they do, their opponent may change their character.
5. Rinse and repeat 2-4 until the winner is determined

For those of you that remember me from the Brawl Glory Days, I'm back. ;) I feel it is time to revive the Fredericksburg Scene since major interest has peeked since Evo and now even more with Super Smash U coming soon. I look forward to seeing familiar faces as well as new ones.

I can bring a full setup. I can possibly even bring like a 32" or 35" CRT if there is demand for such a thing.

Dude, it's been a hot minute! Haha, how've you been? I see you're still active (very active considering your post count!)

From what I've counted (so far) we have 6 CRTs, so we may be good with that, but if you'd like to bring a full setup, you are more than welcome to. The more, the merrier.

Why are you using the Crusade Logo if the event doesn't have Crusade there?

For your 4th post, you're gonna question a TO? lol jk..

I used the Crusade logo because it was easier than creating my own (which I normally do, but I had only so much time to make this thread), and the word Crusade simply represents the event that will lead a new year of tournaments. If you look into my past events, I've always made my own logo's/pictures, but for this one I needed to get done quickly so the word can spread that the Fredericksburg scene is being revived and that people have time to confirm attendance before/after Apex.

..and if it's really that big of an issue, we can run Smash Crusade here as well.. lol, we have computers.

Well, it would be pretty cool if you ran Crusade there haha.

I know it wouldn't be a defining thing that would make people go, but the least you can do for using our name is use our game as well.

If it isn't too much trouble.

Naw, no trouble at all! I can have one or two computers running it so people can check it out. :)


I'll be there. I can stream too.

twitch.tv/nbd_skywalker is my channel.
Awesome, look forward to meeting you Chuckles. It'd be awesome if you streamed. :happysheep:

I will hopefully be there playing P:M. The venue is about an hour from my house so it would be a shame to pass this up.

edit: I can also bring a setup if needed.

What time do you think we should kick things off? It's going to be on a Friday. What would be the best time for everyone?

I would say around 6 or 7. Not too late. I'm pretty flexible though.

I'll check my schedule. Looks like an interesting event though. I'm relatively new on the scene so I'm trying to go to as many tournaments as possible.

Welcome to the scene. Hope to see you here!
is the bracket double elimination?
Yes, always. Winners/Losers brackets.
I wanna go to this, but I won't know for sure until later in the month.
Be sure to keep me updated! Hope to see you here. :)

I was thinking around 6:00, to avoid rush hour.. but I'm also thinking earlier in the day, but then people won't be able to show if they are working that day.

I want to come to this, but it depends on weather since it's a bit of a drive. It'll be my first SWF tournament, tho I might be able to bring Savage to give you all a run for your money.

Any decision on a start time?
5:00pm is when we'll be getting things ready to start. We understand traffic/rush hour is a problem around this time, so if you're late be sure to call us and we can postpone it until you arrive so long as you aren't holding up the event over an hour.

Sounds good. I'm pumped. Should I bring a setup?
You're more than welcome to, it doesn't hurt to have a setup if needed. :) We'll definetly need Project M setups since I'll be having the only wii with Project M 3.0 unless someone else brings it.
How late do you plan to go?
Considering we are setting up at 5:00pm, we'll go as long as needed, but I'm going to shoot for a speedy run, can't promise a fast tournament though since I've been out of the TO game for a few years. I'll do my best to make it enjoyable for everyone and at a decent speed.

Also, just a side note for those of you attending. There is a pretty promising Local interest in this event, so there will be a lot of new faces to the scene. Considering veterans just looove "competition" please be kind to the newcomers and show them that our community wants them to continue to play and learn to get better. We want our community to grow, not dissipate so after all matches be sure to be kind and helpful if they ask for help.
