Everyone should still be warmed up from the Battle of WNY 3 which is taking place the week before! We hope to extend the excitement to the CyberJocks monthly smash day. As always, it should be a day full of fun and smashing excitement, and we look forward to seeing you there! If at all possible, we need as many people to bring their gamecubes so we can have enough matches running at the same time so we can fit all of the day's events in! Remember, you save 50% off the house fee if you bring your cube in!

Registration:
To come play for the day is only $5 which goes to the house to cover costs. This $5 cost will give you entry to any of the leisure and “for fun” tournaments where we will have prizes and swag to give away. Additionally, there will be a $15 registration for each player who wishes to compete in a cash singles bracket, and $10 per team for any two player group looking to compete in a cash doubles bracket. The full amount of the cash event registration fees will go back to the players as prizes. Players may register online or in person the day of the event, and registration for the cash events will take place at the time of entry.

** All players must bring their own controller as CyberJocks will not be supplying any. There will be a 50% house discount to the first five players who bring in their game cube and copy of Smash Bros. **

Singles Cash Event - $15 / Player
- The full collected entry fees for this event will go back to the top three placers in the tournament. The split of the purse will be 60/30/10 percentages. The overall prizes will obviously depend on the number of players that decide to enter and participate in the tournament. This will be a double elimination bracket unless decided otherwise by the tournament administrators on the day of.

Doubles Cash Event - $20 / Team
- The full collected entry fees for this event will go back to the top three placers in the tournament. The split of the purse will be 60/30/10 percentages. The overall prizes will obviously depend on the number of players that decide to enter and participate in the tournament. This will be a double elimination bracket unless decided otherwise by the tournament administrators on the day of.

For Fun Tournaments – FREE Entry
- The “For Fun” tournaments will be held at different points throughout the day, and entry is included in the $5 daily registration fee that was paid upon arival.

Prizes will include CyberJocks game time, free entry to future Smash events, and café items. Other items will include swag like T-shirts, and collectables.

General Rules
All players must bring their own controllers. No modded controllers, or special features such as turbo or macro buttons may be used. If a player is found using a special feature button, they will be disqualified from the tournament.

All competitive brackets will be double elimination unless they are simply too large for it to fit in the allotted time. If they are too large, we will attempt to do a double elimination for the final 16 or 32 spots.

In the case of a GameCube/TV malfunction, the current round will be restarted, no matter the current outcome. However, if a player intentionally causes a malfunction, then that player will be awarded a loss for that round.

Anyone found using cheats, or other documented exploits will be disqualified and awarded a loss for that match.

All players are expected to obey the general CyberJocks rules of conduct posted on this website, and around the facility! We only want players with great attitudes that want to some good clean competitive fun!


Match Rules & Settings
4 Stock, 8 Minute Limit

Items will be off

For Doubles matches, Team Attack is on and life stealing is allowed

Each match will consist of the best of three rounds. The winner of 2/3 rounds will be deemed the match winner. The finals will be a best 4/7 rounds.

The first round stage will be picked at random from: Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams, Dreamland 64 & Pokemon Stadium

The second round stage will be picked by the first round loser. The second round stage can be any stage that isn’t on the banned list below, or that was used for the first stage.

The third round stage (if necessary) will be chosen by the first round winner. It also may be any stage that isn’t on the banned list, or that was used in the first our second rounds.

Ties will be broken by stock left and then by percentage of health. Sudden death will be played if both the stock and percentage are tied at the end of the time limit

Banned stages include: Fourside, Hyrule Temple, Flatzone, Brinstar Depths, Icicle Mountain, Big Blue, Mushroom Kingdom 1, Venom, Great Bay and Yoshi's Island 64. Additionally Fountain of Dreams is banned from doubles.

Character selection will be based on a double blind. Players must tell the judges which character they are going to use prior to the round, and then use that character during the duration of the round. Players may change characters in between rounds, but it will still be based on the double blind rule.

For singles, I've decided on doing a YuGiOh style placement.

Players are given 2 pokerstyle chips on entry. They have sandbox matches untill registration for singles begin, until that time they bet these chips in each free match they play. People with more chips will be put into the top part of the bracket.

I felt like doing something fun, so here it is.

We're going to have some Wii stuff going on and some free matches. It'll be cool for sure.
