Just curious, what are the usual entrance fees for tournaments? Is there a flat fee for the whole tourny? Or is there a specific buy in fee for each event???

It really depends on the tourny, but a typical one is usually five dollar venue fee, then $10 to enter each tourny which all goes towards the pot for the winners. Sometimes the venue fee will get you pizza, depending on if the T.O. has to actually pay for the venue or not.

Which game are you playing? I recently started playing melee and am having trouble finding practice partners who don't crush me in their sleep. I'd love to play with someone else learning the game. I live in Cherry Creek.

Sweet. I do have a gamecube. Only one controller - I assume that's not a problem unless you're somehow playing dolphin with the keyboard. I'm pretty busy today but don't have anything planned for tomorrow if you wanna get something going. I'll text ya. And anyone else who sees this and wants to play with some noobs is welcome to join us.

for all you smashboarders

It's time for the third Foothills Fest! Like the first one last year, this fest is in celebration of my birthday (Valentine's Day, the day before the tournament), so let's have some fun!

Feel free to bring other games to play during downtime! I personally plan to have a Kirby Air Ride setup in addition to my usual Brawl/PM one.

The tournament will take place in room 307 of the Wolf Law Library, unless I find a more suitable room when I go to reserve (our events have been getting larger and since it's a flat fee I can probably find a more spacious room).

I haven't really enforced this in the past because it hasn't presented such a large problem before, but I will be DQ'ing people if I can't get in contact with them within 5 minutes of calling the match. If you go to get food, bring it back with you. If you have to leave the venue for some reason, let me know so we can figure out if you'd be in danger of holding anything up. (You guys have generally been doing a great job with this, especially the new folk!)

EVENTS:
Brawl Singles Bracket
Project: M Singles
Melee Singles
(Mario Party 9 Doubles?)

There will only be Singles brackets at this event so everyone has more time for friendlies/MMs/whatever, unless there is large request for doubles (8+ teams confirmed before the tourney). You can always do doubles friendlies even if there isn't a tournament for it!

All events will be Double Elimination brackets, subject to change due to small numbers of entrants though.

FEES:
$5 Venue Fee, waived for full setups
$10 entry to all Singles events, $5 per person ($10 per team) for all Doubles events (subject to change)

RULES: (UPDATED TO APEX RULESET)
Brawl:
•MK Legal
•Stagelist:
-Starters:
-- FD, BF, SV, Lylat, Yoshi's Island: Brawl
-Counterpicks:
--PS1, Castle Seige, Halberd
•Striking is P1 - P2 - P2 - P1, winner granted a stage ban
•All sets are Bo3 except WF's, LF's and GF's which are Bo5

Project: M:
•Stagelist:
-Starters: First page bottom row, striking is P1 - P2 - P2 - P1 - P1 - P2
-Counterpicks: First page bottom two rows
•Doubles modifications: Yoshi's Story is replaced by SSE: Jungle as a starter and is otherwise banned. Striking is T1 - T2 - T2 - T1
•Winner is granted 3 stage bans
•All sets are Bo3 except WF's, LF's and GF's which are Bo5

Melee:
•Wobbling Legal
•Stagelist:
-Starters:
-- BF, FD, FoD, DL64, YS
-Counterpicks:
-- PS1
•Striking is P1 - P2 - P2 - P1, winner granted a stage ban
•All sets are Bo3 except WF's, LF's and GF's which are Bo5


Tentative Schedule:
10:00AM - Show up pls - Setup - Signups start for Brawl Singles, Project: M Singles, Melee Singles
12:00PM/1:00PM - Singles Brackets start
9:00PM - Venue Closes

Payout for all Singles events is 60/30/10. Payout for Doubles events is 70/30, unless more than 8 teams are entered.

Venue:
Wolf Law Library room 307, 2450 Kittredge Loop Road - Boulder, Colorado 80309


Directions to get here:
-From US-36 (coming from Denver or otherwise south): Take the exit onto Baseline at the Denver Boulder Turnpike, where US-36 turns into 28th Street; turn left onto Baseline, then right onto Broadway, right onto Regent (it will be the first right turn), right onto Kittredge Loop Drive (it will be the second right), then head straight and turn left at the traffic circle, then turn right after passing a huge building (the Wolf Law building) into the parking lot and park.
-From CO-119 (coming from FoCo or otherwise north): Continue onto Foothills Parkway, turn left onto Baseline, then the directions are the same as above.
If you need further directions or help getting to the venue my number is 303-731-9386. As always, bring full setups.

Please try to SHOW UP EARLY. Also, as usual, BRING SETUPS. If you have a Wii with Brawl and Project: M, bring it. If you have a relatively portable TV (or more than one), bring it. The more setups we have, the more smoothly the tournament can run, the more friendlies can be played, the earlier we can finish.

I'm having troubles connecting to the Apex site to look up the rules. Any chance someone could give a newbie a rundown on the do's and don'ts?

All items off, 3 stock, 8 min time, player with stock and/or % advantage when time runs out wins, best of 3 games except finals (best of 5), players strike stages to begin on a starter then the winner bans a stage and the loser counter picks, then if a 3rd game is played same deal. Starters are usually BF, FD, YI (Brawl), Smashville and maybe Lylat (IDK). CPs usually are CS, Delfino, Halberd, PS1, Frigate (I'm guessing). Ledge grabs are often limited to 30 a game. If a player ends a game with a suicide move like Ganon's sideB or Kirby's swallow etc the player who used the move wins with no sudden death.

The tournament planned on the 22nd of March to be held in Boulder, CO. has moved location to Aurora/Denver. Here are the new venue/tournament details:


Saturday, March 22, 2014

Tournament Events:

Project: M Doubles
Project: M Singles
Melee Singles
Crew Battles (If there is enough interest & time)

All events will be Double Elimination brackets, subject to change due to a smaller or larger number of entrants though.


Fees:

$5 Venue Fee
$5 entry to all Singles events, $5 per person ($10 per team) for all Doubles events (subject to change)


Rule sets:

Rules for all events are Apex Ruleset.

Singles (PM/Melee):
Entrants will be divided up into double elimination bracket pools. The size of each pool depends on the number of entrants. Those that advance through pools will be promoted to a Pro Bracket on winners side even if they were in losers side during pools. Those that do not advance through pools will be promoted to an Amateur Bracket. Again, all brackets are double elimination, no round robin pools.

Doubles (PM/Melee?):
Doubles will be a double elimination bracket unless enough people enter to warrant bracket pools.

Project: M:
* 4 stock, 8 minutes.
* Sets are best of 3. Finals are best of 5.
* Items set to "off" and "none."

* 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 won on in a set.

* Controller port is determined by Rock Paper Scissors if it can't be agreed upon. For doubles, the controller ports must be 1-2-2-1.
* For doubles, Team Attack is on and life stealing is allowed. Remember that Attack+Special, not the Pause button, is used to steal lives.
* Pausing during a match, unless okayed by the other player, will result in the loss of one stock for the pauser.
* Quitting out of a match before it is over will result in a loss for the quitter.

* If time runs out, the person with the most stock left (or least % if they are equal) wins. If the % is equal as well, play a 1 stock 3 minute match, same characters and stage.
* If the match goes to sudden death due to a suicide move (Ganon's side-B, Kirby/DDD's swallow, holding someone in a grab on a platform as it moves out of the boundaries, etc.), the one who initiated the move wins.

* Buffer set to off.
* Custom controls are allowed, but controllers modified to enhance performance are not. No turbo buttons, etc. However, removing the springs from shoulder buttons or replacing a thumbstick with a different thumbstick are ok.
* Custom music is allowed as long as it's not too distracting, but any textures or vertex hacks outside of the official team color textures are not.
* If you want to use your own SD card, a TO must overwrite the important game files (not music) in order to make sure there are no modifications. If you are caught cheating with modified game files, you will be immediately DQed without refund and banned from future events.
* In the event that the game crashes or the TV/Wii loses power in the middle of a match, that match will be restarted from the beginning with the same characters and stage. If a player uses a known glitch to intentionally crash the game or otherwise make it unfinishable, that player may be forced to forfeit the match or be DQed at the TO's discretion.

* No excessive stalling (this includes abusing Jiggs' Rising Pound and Mario's Up-B Walljump)
* No coaching during a match. Consulting someone between matches is allowed as long as it doesn't hold up the next match.
* Both players may agree to any rule or stage outside the tournament ruleset.
* Giga Bowser is banned.

Stagelist:
For the 1st match, stage strike the starter list in 1-2-2-1 fashion. After each match, the winner of the previous match bans 3 stages (Players may counterpick a stage that they previously banned in the set, but may not counterpick a stage on which they won). The player who lost the previous match chooses a stage, then the player who won chooses their character, then the player who lost chooses their character.

Pass the Salt 1 - April 5th @Wolf Law Library room 205, Boulder, CO
It's time for the first event in a new series, Pass the Salt 1! This tournament will be similar to past ones I've ran; it's really only a different series in name.

The tournament will take place in room 205 of the Wolf Law Library. This room is nearly double the capacity of our old one, so hopefully we won't run out of room for setups.

I haven't really enforced this in the past because it hasn't presented such a large problem before, but I will be DQ'ing people if I can't get in contact with them within 5 minutes of calling the match. If you go to get food, bring it back with you. If you have to leave the venue for some reason, let me know so we can figure out if you'd be in danger of holding anything up. (You guys have generally been doing a great job with this, especially the new folk!)

EVENTS:
Brawl Singles Bracket
Brawl Doubles Bracket
Project M Singles Bracket
Project M Doubles Bracket
Melee Singles Bracket

All singles events will be Double Elimination brackets, unless we reach more than 32 players for the event, in which case there will be a round of pools first. Doubles events will all be a single round robin unless there are 8 or more teams, in which case it will be changed into a double elimination bracket.

Wolf Law Library room 205, 2450 Kittredge Loop Road - Boulder, Colorado 80309


Directions to get here:
-From US-36 (coming from Denver or otherwise south): Take the exit onto Baseline at the Denver Boulder Turnpike, where US-36 turns into 28th Street; turn left onto Baseline, then right onto Broadway, right onto Regent (it will be the first right turn), right onto Kittredge Loop Drive (it will be the second right), then head straight and turn left at the traffic circle, then turn right after passing a huge building (the Wolf Law building) into the parking lot and park.
-From CO-119 (coming from FoCo or otherwise north): Continue onto Foothills Parkway, turn left onto Baseline, then the directions are the same as above.
If you need further directions or help getting to the venue my number is 303-731-9386. As always, bring full setups.

Please try to SHOW UP EARLY. Also, as usual, BRING SETUPS. If you have a Wii with Brawl and Project: M, bring it. If you have a relatively portable TV (or more than one), bring it. The more setups we have, the more smoothly the tournament can run, the more friendlies can be played, the earlier we can finish.

Ouch, it looks like the bus ride would take around 2 hours including transfers. I might just try to catch around 3 hours of sleep and make sure to drink a bunch of coffee.

Brackets will be posted later.

Overall this tournament was kind of a disaster, we started our first events an hour late, people weren't playing their Doubles matches while they were still in Melee, Melee didn't finish until like 4, people left at random times for upwards of an hour to get food or smoke or something, had to migrate to Fishbait's house at 9 because the venue closed, singles events didn't finish until like 2 in the morning. Only important melee stuff got recorded since Joe had to leave with the recording stuff before top 3 of any other events.

I'm gonna start DQ'ing people.

Hey so I got into netplay recently using dolphin, and a mayflash GC to USB adaptor. What does everyone use for the dead-zone and radius for their analog and c sticks? my courser moves really slow on the character selection screen and I cant fix it, also, what is the best way to calibrate the L an R triggers? thx

For my main stick, I have 100 radius, zero on everything else. On my C-stick, I have radius on 100 and deadzone on 10. Square stick on nothing.
As for the triggers, I THINK that the best way to calibrate the trigger's analog is to press them super softly, but the R and L themselves you have to slam down for Dolphin to register them as separate buttons.
I have my threshold on 70, but you might have to experiment for yourself.
Hope that helps some!

Hey guys, I'm moving to CO in a few months and was wondering how serious the Melee scene is around Denver specifically, but Colorado as a whole. I'm looking to start competing in your tournaments as soon as I make it there. I've only been to a few down here, and had moderate (but escalating) success, and I really want to start playing the absolute best players possible, so who would that be in your state? Does anyone play on a daily basis? Anyway, thanks and I'm sure I'll see you guys at some tourneys soon!
