Don't Blink!​
3/13/10 --- Northbrook, IL

AllisBrawl Tournament page: http://allisbrawl.com/ttournament.aspx?id=8960
**PLEASE vote on the new polls on the AiB page regarding the entry fees! Feedback is appreciated!**

So, yeah. A tournament! Hosted by myself and Blind. This tournament will feature BRAWL, BRAWL+, and BRAWL- !!

Keep in mind, details are still being figured out and certain areas are subject to change. We will keep you updated, so no worries.

The Venue

Nickel City
555 Waukegan Rd.
Northbrook, IL 60062

PHONE: 1-847-559-8727
WEBSITE: http://www.nickelcitygames.com/

Nickel City is an arcade where you can play many games for just 5 cents. Some of the games you can even play for free. We have space reserved in their party room in back, so that's where the tournament will be happening.

NOTE: There is NO outside food or drink allowed inside the facility. Also note that Nickel City does have food available for purchase.

Schedule

6:00pm - Venue opens for the tournament. Arrivals, Registration, and Friendlies may occur at this time.
7:00pm - Brawl Doubles Bracket starts.
7:30pm - Brawl+ Singles Bracket starts.
9:00pm - Brawl Singles Bracket starts(or whenever Brawl Doubles Bracket finishes).
10:00pm - Brawl- Singles Bracket starts(or whenever Brawl+ Singles Bracket finishes).
1:00am - Venue closes.

This is a TENTATIVE schedule. Subject to change, but this is just the basic outline.

Registration will begin for all events at 6:00pm. Registration will close 10 minutes before the start of an event.

NOTE: We will not be including Melee in our event roster. This is because there is the SMYM tournament in Champaign, IL on the same day, so we would be expecting a low Melee turnout. However, we are interested in including Melee in our event roster for future events.

Entry Fees

Venue Fee: $5 --- This covers the cost of the room AND gets you access to play all of the arcade games available throughout the venue. If things go well, this may have a chance of being reduced for future events... *hinthint*

Brawl Doubles - $5 per person($10 per team)
Brawl Singles - $10
Brawl+ Singles - $5
Brawl- Singles - $2

Because this is our first tournament, we are keeping the entry fees relatively low. If there is enough interest, we can raise the entry fees.

Setups

We NEED setups! If you bring a full setup(TV and a Wii) your venue fee will be waived. If you bring a partial setup(TV or a Wii) your venue fee will be reduced to $3.

Prizes

Pot Splits

1st: 60%
2nd: 30%
3rd: 10%

The pot split will be the same for all events.

Tournament Rules

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

* 3 Stock

* 8 minute timer

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

* All sets with the exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship 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.

* Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.

* If a game ends with Bowser doing his suicide klaw and it ends in sudden death, the sudden death will be ignored and that game will count as a win for Bowser.

* You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility, so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.

* 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.

* The Mages DQ rule: After a match has been called, if a player is two minutes late he will receive a warning. At 4 minutes late, he will be given a loss for the first game of the set. After six minutes, he will be given a loss of the entire set.

Additional Rules for Doubles Play

* Life Stealing is allowed

* Set team attack to ON

Set format (In Order of Procedure):
1. Opponents choose their characters for the first match *
2. Opponents start the stage striking procedure
3. Each player may announce one stage to be banned for counterpicks of the set
4. The first game is played, using the stage chosen during step 2
5. The loser of the previous match announces the next match's stage from either the Starter Stage List or the Counter Stage List
6. The winner of the previous match chooses their character
7. The loser of the previous match chooses their character
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for all proceeding matches
*Double blind character selection may be called for the first match

P.S.- Anyone, or any group of people that keep Arty out of the top 3, I will give him/her or both of you $5!!! He is so broken in B+. Note, this only applies to B+ and not VBrawl/Brawl-.

If I could go to this, I would, even just to get my *** whupped by Kirk in B- singles/MM.

BTW, you should totally add the Sheik- nametag rule (Sheik minus has to have a nametag). It prevents serious gayness. :V

Time is our main concern and Kirk and I will be doing everything we can to make sure things go as quickly as possible. If anybody has questions, comments or concerns about this, please feel free to talk to me or Kirk.

And in our OP we say that $5 is merely this is the first in the series and that if interest is there we will raise it. Should I put you under interested for a $10 entry hunger?

Looks like im probably coming with a set up! I can put infinite replays on it and upload them to Youtube also if that is okay.

And I need a partner for teams!
