Note: Your venue fee will be waived if you bring a FULL setup. That means both a TV and a Wii/PS3/360, NOT one or the other.

We NEED setups for this thing. We've been getting less and less people bringing setups with them for these tournaments, and it's slowing the whole thing down. Last tournament, Oro and I accounted for almost half of the setups we had. Please, bring setups, and let us know you're bringing them on this thread, so we can add you to the list.

Brawl Rules

- 3 Stock

- 8 minute timer

- Items are set to "off" and "none"

- All sets with the exception of grand finals, winner's finals, winner's semi-finals, loser's finals, and loser's semi-finals are best of 3 matches (best of 5 and above should be played out for any "finals" matches)

- In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors

- No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.

- In team matches, the ports will be determined in a 1221 fashion; whoever wins the RPS will choose first, then the opposing team will get their ports, and then the teammate of the RPS winner will get the last port.

- If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.

- Standing infinites and ledge infinites are banned.

- Marth's infinites of Ness and Lucas are banned.

- Suicide Rule - If a game ends in a suicide move, a one stock three minute rematch will be played on the same stage. If the rematch ends in a suicide move, the winner will be determined by the player with the lowest percentage.

- Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.

- Stalling is banned.

-There will be a Ledge Grab Limit of 50. If your match ends as a result of time, and a player has exceeded the Ledge Grab Limit, he or she loses that match.

-LoZ's Stupid Boner Rule - In the event that you should find yourself excessively enjoying a match or it's surroundings, you are required a 5 minute break to walk it off. This is not optional. Disclaimer: Rule only applies to Brawl, you are allowed to enjoy the other games to their fullest capacity without being issued a time out or a ban.

Stages

Starters

Final Destination
Battlefield
Smashville
Yoshi's Island (Brawl)
Pokemon Stadium 1
Lylat Cruise
Castle Siege

Counterpicks

Delphino Plaza
Halberd
Frigate Orpheon
Rainbow Cruise
Brinstar

-First stage is agreed upon by the two competitors through stage striking, random selection or mutual agreement and they must choose a Neutral (Starter) stage.

The Stage Striking Process:

The seven neutral stages will be the only highlighted ones in the Stage Selection menu. Players can rock-paper-scissors to see who strikes first or mutual agree.

The first player strikes one stage from the seven neutrals.

The second player strikes two stages from the remaining stages.

The first player strikes two stages from the remaining stages.

The second player strikes one more stage from the list. The remaining stage is the one that will be played for the first match of the set.

The Double Blind Selection Rule:

If both players are having a dispute as to how to select their characters for the first match (usually to avoid unfair counterpicking) the Double Blind Rule may be used. A neutral third party (usually a T.O) will be called in and both players will tell the T.O. their character. Then both players will pick their characters at the same time.

The Counterpicking Process:

Before the player who lost the previous match selects their stage, the opponent may designate a stage ban. That stage cannot be selected by that player for the entire set.
The player who lost the previous match will then select their stage for the next match.
The opponent may switch characters after the stage selection.
Once the opponent has selected their character, the player who lost the previous match may finally change their character if they desire.

Pools/Bracket format

-For the Brawl Singles event, players will be assigned to one of 4 or 8 pools(depending on total number of entrants).

-Pools will be Round Robin format.

-In the event of a tie between two or more players in the same pool, the following criteria will be used to determine the tie-breaker in this order:

**Set Wins**
**Head to Head**
**Wins**
**Losses**
**One Game Rematch(1 stock, 3minute timer)**

-At the conclusion of pools, players will be seeded into a 16, 24, or 32-man bracket(again, depending on total number of entrants). Pool cuts may be necessary in order to create the bracket.

General Rules

-BYOC (Bring your own controller): Players are expected to bring their own controller and be prepared for every tournament set.

-Pause can be requested off and that request cannot be denied. If one pauses mid-match, the person who initiated the pause loses their current stock. If the pause causes the opponent to lose their stock (Such as interfering with recovery), the person who initiated the pause loses two stocks. If there is any doubt in the ruling of a pausing incident, stop what you are doing and CALL ONE OF THE TOs TO YOUR MATCH.

-You are responsible for your own controller and name tag.

-Coaching is allowed only between games, not during.

-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.

-The tournament organizer has the right to save/record any tournament match if possible and has the right to upload said match.

-Players may request that any texture, stage, or other hacks be disabled during a tournament set. If this is unable to be done, they may switch to a different setup if available.

Question, if WI got around 2-3 cars to this, could you bump up singles to $10 for melee? Theres like nothing going on tourney wise for us for Melee, and I can prob get a bunch from WI to come if it's $10 bucks.

I would absolutely have no problem with that. I guess I will talk to ORLY or Rat about handling Melee at this then. Melee doubles would also get added as an event, 5 or 10$ depending on what people want.

If you want to, then you can haha. I trust all of you guys with helping me out, or just running Melee/other games on the side. **** sucks when you do a lot by yourself and still try to play.

The 14th...pfffff, that's the one I wanted the least. 40%. Would be 70 if 21st and 100% if 28th.

Oh, ****, wait, melee too? Hmmmmmm....47% chance.

lol it's more about available money, though my birthday is on the 10th so maybe I can just use that as an excuse to get free **** for a week and extort money from my family. I had to pay for school oopocket this semester cause I'm going back to school to do pre-recstuff. and I get paid on the wednesday after the 14, not before it.

maybe I'll pick up 3s again, umvc3badgame. B- is a bad game but it's a smash tourney so...

Edit; Most importantly,the later it is, the cheaper megabus is going to be.

Edit again: But if we did melee then Nebraska might actually come since the Nebraska PR features 4 players who only play brawl at melee tournaments, a person who lives in texas and one who lives in MI, and a retired sonic. So yeah, Nebraska only has melee players, I'll see if they wanna travel out here.

Edit once more: Mega Bus is 13.50. I'm gonna call a few buddies in the Chicago region and see what they are doing thursday-monday of this week.

Edit #343: I love these rules, but I hate the stage list, but that's usually how it goes. Also what happens if I get a boner during the match, am I allowed a 5 minute time out to get it worked out?

I have no problem TOing Melee for you, Bzoo, to help run things smoother.

Will there be SSF4:AE? :D

SF brackets really don't take long and they get super hype; we can run both 3S and AE.

Stages might change. The rulesets in IL have always been "Unity and then change **** that people don't agree with"

You aren't just ALLOWED, you are required to walk that **** off.

Who enjoys Brawl... cmon man!

AE is usually planned, but Scythe is probably running SF again. That means that 3S is a priority because he likes it more haha. When does 2012 come out?
