Kappy Clause: You cannot just eat the cheese and toppings off of the top of the pizza. You must eat your pizza like a human being and suppress your desire to troll and LOL.

Brawl Rules

- 3 Stock

- 8 minute timer

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

- Metaknight is banned at the event. You cannot pick Metaknight in either Singles or Doubles

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

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.

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.

- 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.

The Don't Blink series returns!

Get hype!

We decided to keep MK banned as we continue on with the series.

There will be at least one side event, I will edit later and perhaps open a poll to decide how we will proceed with that.

This is great, now I can go to this, and if I lose I can recoup my loses at Play N Trade :yeahboi: I'm not even sure if my Wii will be fixed by the time this happens though :c. Was not expecting it to come this fast, but that's a good thing. The MK thing makes it even better. The Pizza thing was hilarious though, seriously, who does that?

Good stuff continuing the pizza/drinks!

Are you guys set in stone on this date? I just feel bad for Sanchaz and IMBD since WI Brawl will probably go to this instead :(

this seriously makes me sad. For plenty of reasons. I wont get into the logistics. But im worried if IL's best tournament series ever turns into a prolonged mk ban. It will effect IL's ability out of state/region/ect...

Regardless see you guys there. Imma get bizaked and play diddy...

I think after this one, we should make the series MK banned every other month if we want to keep it this way. I agree with Sago, although he's a stupid character, he's still legal everywhere else, so we need to keep up on the MU.

Hype though! Norm, possibly teams?

Also ****ing LOL at the Kappy Clause. I just started laughing during class.

:phone:

Kappy, you're so bad at eating pizza that a clause was created about you! Get wrecked, son!

September 17th huh? Think I'll plan on this.

Sounds like they may be moving it to the 24th sanchaz.

The reason they had to pick the 17th was because smashing grounds is the 10th, and a regional tournament (SiiS) is on the 24th. However it seems like we may not go to SiiS, in which case we'll hold this tournament then instead of the 17th.

I'm not a TO though so I don't really know what they're going to do.

Oh, that was you? I was driving home from school so I didn't want to answer my phone. I haven't talked to Kirk or Kyle yet about this though since I've been at school all day, so I'm not the guy to talk to about the date.

i think after this one. mk should get unbanned for a lil portion of apex practice. we know now that mk banned tournies are still just as good if not better. but for the sake of whoever is going to be going to apex. i'd say unban him after this one.

Probably this, but Kirk and I didn't wanna flake and say every other month because that sounds awful and people will most likely pick their preference over the other and only enter 50% of the time.

This is going to be on the 24th.

Dub Edit: side event suggestions?

I suggest 3SO or SSF4AE for the side tournament. Always nice to play a different game with people for once, and my AE/3SO setup was pretty popular at the last DBDC.
