A Project: M Tournament





Please Note:
The venue is a family store; moms with kids come in on Saturdays. Try not to curse.
This tourney starts earlier because we need to leave venue by 9PM, so we'll be running things smoothly. If you're going to be late, let me know via text/etc!

Energy drinks available on site, bring a couple extra bucks so you can be caffeinated out.


When: starts 11AM Saturday, May 26th.

Where: FX Game Exchange
3000 Custer Road, Suite 170
Plano, Texas 75075

What: Project: M Singles and Doubles.
There are no current plans to have any side event (IE melee/brawl); UTDZac and I want to have a tournament mainly featuring P:M, and adding anything else might take up the focus.

Sethlon’s cell: 832-482-5588
UTDZac's cell: 361-676-2223

Schedule:
11:00AM Doubles registration and friendlies
12:00PM Doubles start
2:30PM Singles registration
3:00PM Singles Start

Setups: Bring them. FREE VENUE if you bring a full setup that we use for the tourney.

Entry Fee:
Venue: $3 (free if you bring a setup)
Singles: $5
Doubles: $5 per person

Payout:
1st place: 60%
2nd place: 30%
3rd place: 10%


Ruleset:

1. 4 Stocks
2. 8 Minute Time Limit
3. Items set to “Off” and “None”
4. Buffer set to OFF
5. Modified Dave’s Stupid Rule: No player can counter pick the stage he or she last won on unless agreed upon by both players.
6. Controller mods of ANY kind (short-hop mod, L-trigger mod, etc), except for cosmetic changes (paint job, different colored plastic), are banned. If you are caught using a banned controller you will be disqualified from the tournament with no refund.
7. In the event of a match going to time, the winner will be determined by:
a. Whoever has more remaining stock left.
b. If stocks of both players are the same, the winner will then be determined by whoever has less percent.
c. If the match ends with both players dying at the same time or if time ran out with both players at equal percent, an identical rematch of the previous match will be played out. Same characters and same stage.​
8. Sets will be best out of 3 games. Loser's Finals, Winner's Finals, and Grand Finals will be best out of 5.

Addendum for Doubles
1. Team Attack set to “On”
2. Life stealing is allowed. (Note that lifestealing in Project: M is done by pressing A+B, rather than start)
3. In the event of a game going to time, the winner will be determined by:
a. Whichever team has more remaining stock.
b. If both teams have an equal amount of combined stocks, then whichever team has a lower combined percent is declared the winner.​

Character/Stage Selection Process
1. Blind Picks character selection.
2. Stage Striking: Players eliminate stages from the Starter Stage List until only 1 remains, and the players then play the first match on that stage. Players strike stages in 1 2 2 1 order.
3. The first match is played.
4. Winning player of the preceding match bans a stage.
5. The losing player of preceding match picks stage for the next match.
6. The winning player of preceding match picks character.
7. The losing player picks character.
8. The next match is played.
9. Repeat 4-8 for all consecutive matches as necessary until the set is complete.
*Modified Dave’s Stupid Rule: No player can counter pick the stage he or she last won on unless agreed upon by both players.

Other Rules

1. The TO is the arbiter of all disputes.
2. BYOC (Bring your own controller): Players are expected to bring their own controller and be prepared for every tournament set.
3. DQ Rule: Arriving too late for a match will result in a DQ. Player(s) will have 5 minutes to show up before a loss of the first match. 5 more minutes results in a loss of the set. For doubles, both players on a team need to be present in order to play.
4. MikeHaze rule: No intentionally disrupting players, whether physically or vocally. This applies to EVERYONE, players and spectators. Simply talking to the players (and Hype moments) are exempt.
5. Gentleman's Clause: Any change to the rules is permitted if agreed upon by both players.
6. The tournament organizer has the right to save/record any tournament match if possible and has the right to upload to the internet. If you have a problem with your video being uploaded, notify the TO asap.

I have to wonder why this rule isn't used more often (aside from "time constraints"). But it really is the most fair way of solving things.

TIL that tournaments you post aren't added to your subscription until you post in them :upsidedown:

No prob! I'll be recording a bunch of matches too, so expect to see those up on youtube afterwards.

I should be there, bringin that 2007 tech :).
Legit! I've been having P:M on the main tv at my wednesday smashfests, if you want to get a feel for it ;)

Legiiit! I can possibly house you guys, but it might be a tight fit. I'll have to talk it over with the roommates.

Are you going to be supplying the SD cards with fresh PM downloads to prevent cheating/textures? Or checking any setups that people bring?
Probably not. Texas brawl has always had people bring custom wiis, and theres never been a problem.

Man Sudai I haven't seen you since I saw you at one of Dphat's Smashfests back in the day.

Would be awesome to hang with you again.

I think I'll try to go Sethlon, I'll see what Problemo is doing that weekend.

I"ll be using my wario :)

My only regret is that I didn't have the foresight to think of this name earlier and focus on playing bowser instead of sonic lol

I told Darkrain about it, no response back from him yet tho.

Project M, and close to me? Ok, definently going to practice project M ALOT more. I dont have a single good character or idea on one though, its just a mish mash.
I can stream and upload to youtube, i have a little usb webcam mic but it works great so if anyone for some reason wanted to commentate that'd be cool. But im pretty sure I wont.

Edit: UTDZac and Sethlon should commentate if they can. I'd love to hear that.

Edit: did I just kill the thread?

We just had a side-event tournament for Project: M singles, it went by really fast and it was really hype, as well as fun. I'm really stoked to come out to this and play with other Project: M players.

Set ups are required to be the "non-wifi compatible" version correct? There is a difference. It affects the way the input is read.

So, Darkrain is confirmed for attendance :awesome:

Yes! Setups must have the non-wifi compatible version. The other version has some differences with shield buffering and other stuff.
Not that big a deal if someone brings the wrong version though, changing it is as simple as changing one file on the SD card.

So I have a car confirmed with 4 people. If you can still house us that'd be awesome Sethlon, if not just let me know. :]
Talked over with the roommates, and unfortunately we just don't have enough room for that many people =( I'll keep asking around though.

Sure, we could house you guys.

Playing with this ruleset a bit has reminded me how awful Lylat Cruise is.

Can we ban a stage based on the fact that everyone hates it?

I actually was seriously considering not having it legal Drew. I hate it too =(
Alright, invoking TO powers. Does anyone actually want Lylat to be legal? If not, I'm just gonna take it off. I'm using a fairly conservative ruleset as is so personally I wouldn't mind it being gone. (There are quite a few stages like the new Port Town that I think could be viable stages, but that can wait for another day.)
