RULES FOR MELEE / PROJECT M:
General Gameplay

- 4 stock
- 7 minute timer
- Items are set to "off" and "none"
- If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage. If there is a tie, see the tiebreaker section to follow.
- Controller ports will be decided by players or RPS. Neutral start can be elected.
- BYOC (Bring your own controller)
- Any controller malfunction mid match is on you. If you need to reset, your opponent will have to agree to a reset as doing so will require you to pause the match.
- Stalling is banned.
- If you freeze the game on an action initiated by your character, you lose the game.
- Pause is recommended to be turned on for quick resets, but players can request it be turned off for the duration of their match.
- If a player pauses the match mid game (accidentally or intentionally), it is a stock loss to the player who pressed it.
- Coaching mid-match is banned.
- You cannot re-select a stage you have won on as a counterpick unless agreed.
- Any and all infinites (basically, where someone can control the opponent without them being able to do anything about it) must end at 300%, otherwise it becomes stalling. All infinites are entirely legal otherwise.
- ALL sets are best 2 of 3 games, INCLUDING the finals.


Set Procedure:

1. Character selection
2. Stage strike 1-2-1 (1-2-2-1 for PM)
3. Play Game 1
4. Winning player announces ban stage (2 bans for PM) for the set
5. Loser of previous match announces next match's stage
6. Winner of previous match chooses characters
7. Loser of previous match chooses characters
8. Play next game
9. Rinse and repeat 4-8 if set goes to a third game.


Tie Breaking:

Note: Tiebreaking is only initiated if the game started a sudden death round upon completion. Otherwise, the game declared winner is the winner of the match.
1. Winner is determined by highest stock count then lowest percent.
2. 1 stock, 3 minute match is played as a tiebreaker match. The winner of this match wins the game. If there is a tie in this match, repeat.


Conduct Rules:

- No intrusive Cosmetic hacks permitted
- Intentionally disrupting someone mid-match intentionally or accidentally is not acceptable. Please do your best to make sure you are not disrupting a match. This can result in a penalty at T.O.'s discretion.
- Don't lose anything you're bringing to the event please, we are not liable for lost/stolen etc.

I don't know about best of 3 for finals, man. I'm not gonna get there anyways, but I really think in the interest of fairness it should be Best of 5.

It's a time issue due to both singles and doubles being ran for 3 events in not the biggest space, with a limitiing amount of setups.

The plan is do as many best of 5s as times allows, but don't plan on it.

For set procedure, you say 3 bans for PM. Then under PM ONLY rules, you say 2 bans. Which one?
Are you going to release a .zip that those bringing a PM setup should use?
Is there going to be a local burn ward for my opponents?

I really want to attend this since I love PM. But it's one week after Winter Brawl!!! Ahhhh. We shall see.

Can we pre-register for this? My brother gets out of work at 10:00AM Saturday, so we couldn't be there until 11:30 or Noon. But I'd love to compete.

If you can get out by 11:30, I'm certain we can get you guys in the bracket. Are you interested in just PM or Melee/Sm4sh as well?

Want me to make a good one?
Might be a good idea. You'd probably be about to figure out the SSS better than I could. I had the stages all over the place.

Copy paste from facebook so the formatting may be odd:


IMPORTANT INFO REGARDING SETUPS !! This event is shaping up to be record setting for Upstate NY, truly incredible that we'll be hosting several matches of The Melee Games along with singles and doubles of Melee, PM, and Smash 4! The only way it's possible is through each and every one of us in the community. Please bring setups for venue fee reduction! Here is what have and what we need most:

WHAT WE NEED:
-Absolute most importantly is CRT TV's!!
-Capable flat screens
-Wii U/Adapters (bring extra adapters if you have them!)
-Wii's w/ PM

WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE:
18 Wii's (melee)
16 gamecube (melee)
12 Wii's (PM)
3 Wii U + 2 Wii U controller adapters
4 flat screen monitors
6 CRT Tv's
4 streaming/recording setups!! (thanks Austin Buckalew, Shawn Taylor,Jay Bickford, Pastime Legends Smash Bros. Team!)

GIGANTIC thanks to the Pastime Legends crew Joseph A. Pirro Mike Sutton Adam LeClair and whomever else is coming with them, they are providing a majority of the setups and helping our starting position immensely.

So we are already in good shape, but help yourselves help the event and bring a setup! Please post here what you're able to commit to bring so we can better estimate and plan the events. Thanks everyone, only a couple days away smile emoticon
