Electronic Gaming League Chicago!!

Donald E. Stevens Convention Center

Events/Entry Fees

Teams will be a seeded double elimination bracket.

Singles:30 minutes after teams ENDS. $20 entry
Singles will consist of pools seeded by location, moving into a 32 or 64 man bracket,
depending on attendence.


Registration:

Since EGL is up and coming, they are capping the entrants at 132 to make sure they can support the smashers to their best ability. Guaranteed registration can be paid online via www.theegleague.com.

Registering this way will ensure that your entry is guaranteed. Otherwise, it's first come first serve up to 132.

Registration the day of the tournament will begin at 10 AM and will end at 12 AM for BOTH teams AND singles. This is so while teams is going, I can begin creating the pools for singles.

The Pot!

2nd: $175

3rd: $50

SSBM Singles

1st: $450

2nd: $175

3rd: $50

The pots aren't giant right now, as they won't be with any new organization. Help work with EGL and expanding it's size as who knows where the future of smash stands with other gaming organizations!

General Rules:

•4 stock
•2/3 sets
•3/5 finals
•8 minute time limit
•Items off
•Ties broken by lives, then %
•First stage agreed upon or random
•Dave’s Stupid Rule (DSR): No stage may be used twice in a single set if the counter-picking player has already won on that stage.
•Double Blind character pick can be called at anytime.
•Stage Knock Out: Each person may choose one stage to be disabled for the entire set, it must be chosen at the beginning of the set, after initial characters are chosen.
•Advanced Slob Picks: Loser may choose the next stage or select to go random. The winner may then change their character, followed by the loser.
•Bring your own controller
•Controller Mods, Glitches (IC Freeze Glitch, Mewtwo Soul Stunner, etc), and tactics used to stall a match (wall-bombing, rising pound), are banned.
•Team Attack will be ON
•Life stealing allowed


The Mages DQ Rule is applicable when a player is late for a match and it goes as follows:
2 Minutes Late – Warning
4 Minutes Late – Loss of first match of set
6 Minutes Late – Loss of set
(i <3 the mages rule)


- Singles Stages on random – Final Destination, Dream Land 64, Fountain of Dreams, Battlefield, Yoshi’s Story And Pokemon Stadium.
- Singles Stages Banned - Hyrule Temple, Yoshi 64, Fourside, Icicle Mountain, Flatzone, Venom, Brinstar Depths, Big Blue, Great Bay, Jungle Japes, Princess Peach's Castle, Great bay, Yoshi's island (pipes), Mushroom Kingdom 1/2

All other levels open for counterpicks.


Setups:

Please help out and bring your own setups to make sure we can get sufficient amounts of pools so everything can run well. If you can't bring a Tv, at least bring your cube because EGL is already providing some TV's.


I will be there to make sure things run correctly. If ANYBODY has a laptop they want to bring that we can run Tio on, that would be nice. They have a computer of their own, but i'd like to be able to have something independent for smash.

Thanks everyone and i hope you give EGL a shot. Cya there

Blues is amazing. Looks like EGL is the only game in town when it comes to professional SSBM gaming league tournaments.

I might be able to go to this, but I'll probably only do singles. I'll pad the pot with 15, but not 30.

Sounds good. Hoping all the locals can make it. EGL is all we have left in terms of a professional gaming league and hopefully it can be the next MLG but people have to come and SUPPORT!!

We're going to have to play again. I've got some new tricks for your Ganon, sucka.

Tink, aren't you from Indiana? You fail at living places.

KM are you coming to this with Plairnkk? Please say yes.

If not, would me wearing a hot pink "We <3 KM" shirt sweeten the deal any?

Cincinnati (3 or 4 people) may come. I would need to get the days off from work. Justin would need to not have a ton of homework. Tayo tends to flake out. Ameer is like 12. So if everything goes well we would more than likely come, that is if we could HAVE A PLACE TO STAY.
