Background Infomation about this Tournament:
This Tournament Series is to promote more players in the Smash Community, introduce the game to the new players without getting ***** hard, and let unranked players have a chance to win/do well in a tournament without running into Ranked players and having the same boring tournament results.
What's it about?
Remember that tournament where ranked players are banned and everyone had a chance to win that tournament in the summer last year in Irvine, CA with about 90 players & about 36 teams entered? Well Kira and DJ Mirror aka Jkun now present the Arcadian 2 tournament but bigger and better then ever! (No Fire Hazard this time
) Last time we had the ranked players banned so everyone had a chance to win...Now we made a few changes and such. Ranked players can now enter but with severe character restrictions ONLY. There will be singles pools and such so please come and enter!Location:

Battlefield
Fountain of Dreams (1v1 only)
Pokemon Stadium (2v2 only)
*Counterpicks 1v1:
Kongo Jungle 64
Brinstar
Rainbow Cruise
NOTE: Pokemon Stadium is only neutral for 2v2. It's a counter pick for 1v1. Fountain of Dreams is only neutral for 1v1 and it's banned for 2v2 due to lag.
* Items are set to off.
* Timed out matches will be determined by the remaining number of lives, then percentage of the current stock. In the event of a percentage tie, replay that match. Any Sudden Death match is strictly not to be played.
* For doubles: Team Attack will be ON, life stealing allowed.
* First stage is random from the Neutral stages listed below.
* Each player is allowed to reset the random stage once; this forces a new random stage to be picked. If the new stage has been previously reset by either player during the same set, that stage is reset again. (Random Stage Reset)
* The loser of the first match will announce a new stage to play on for the next game. The winner will then be allowed to switch characters, followed by the loser. Apply the same logic for the third match (and fourth/fifth when applicable) if there is one. (Advanced Slob Picks)
* No stage may be used twice in a single set if the counter-picking player has already won on that stage, unless the opponent agrees to use the stage again. (Dave's Stupid Rule)
* Double Blind character pick can be called at anytime before the first game of a set starts, and only apply to the first game.
* Wobbling is banned.
* The Ice Climber Freeze Glitch is banned even though it's funny.
* Jigglypuff's rising pound stall is banned.
* Peach's bomber stall beneath levels where she is unreachable is banned.
* Masterhand is banned
* There will be no ties in any tournament. Anyone refusing to play any Match (including the finals) will be disqualified and forfeit all rights to any titles or prizes they might have otherwise earned for that tournament.
* Collusion of any kind with your competitors is considered cheating. If the Tournament Director determines that any competitor is colluding to manipulate the results or intentionally under performing, the collaborating players may be immediately disqualified. This determination is to be made at the sole discretion of the Tournament Director. Anyone disqualified in this manner forfeits all rights to any titles or prizes they might have otherwise earned for that tournament.
Late Rule: If you show up late after the sign up is over then you are to pay $3 extra for the late fee! SO DON'T BE LATE PLEASE! NO JOHNS!
* Because a lot of the ranked players have impressive skill with characters that they do not use in tournament, and because I 4-stocked Jkun's Marth with my Roy we have decided to be extra harsh on the character bans. - Kira
