If there is a situation where a player would like to change which option they elected after playing the game of RPS, it is the opponent’s choice to allow it. The results from the previously played game of RPS will carry over. - Winning player of the preceding match bans a stage/stages (if applicable).

NO VENUE FEE! This means, bring set ups. Especially you PM guys. For the melee side of things, the owner of the venue has let me know he can help out with TVs and cubes but doesn't have many copies of melee, so bring a copy of melee if you can. If you do bring a copy, it's your responsibility to make sure it isn't lost/stolen.
Other Rules
1. The Tournament Organizer is the arbiter of all disputes.

6. Dave's Stupid Rule: players cannot counterpick back to a stage that they have already won on in a set.
7. Textures are Cool Clause: We're usually pretty lenient with textures/custom music. You're welcome to bring your set up to the tournament with them, but please do not have any disruptive music, hard to see textures, or dramatically altered character models. If you have a problem with the set up you're playing on, notify the TO and we'll get it resolved ASAP.
