Beer Run: A tournament of survival and chaos dedicated to Barge and Samusbrawler. The name comes from a term that me and my friends have for doing as much stupid stuff as possible while drunk until you pass out.
Interested, read the rules below for more info.
Prize Alert! Habba Jeeba Joe, I've done it again! The prize for this tournament is 20 dollars worth of Wii/Microsoft/PSN points (the winner will decide which upon... well... winning)
Simply leave your name. You can do that much, right?
Don't want to wait? Send me a PM and I'll put you in ahead of time.[/size]
Update 11/21: All the times on this schedule are in CENTRAL Time. If you live in the Pacific timezone, subtract two hours (ex; 2PM instead of 4PM). If you live in the Mountain timezone, subtract just one hour. If you live in the Eastern time zone, add one hour. If you live anywhere in Great Britian (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland) aside from the very most Western side of Ireland, add six hours. If you live on Mars, please add 6 months. I hope this clears things up.
This tournament offically starts on July 25 and ends on August 6th.
Round One: July 25-July 30
Round Two: July 31- August 3
Rounds Three-Four: August 4- August 5
Round Five: August 6
Because of my infinite benevolence, deadlines may be extended if multiple complications arise (especially in the later rounds).
1. You start out with 6 stock and keep going until you completely run out. For example, if you lose two stock in the first match, you start out the next match with 4 stock. You are not allowed to use more than 3 stock per match and forced suicides are inforced if you have less than 3 stock left. There is no time limit for the matches and items are not allowed.
2. Pick any character you want. This tournament has no character limitations.
3. Only the legal stages are allowed.
4. First stage is agreed on by both players.
5. Quitting, restarting the match, stalling for longer than 10 seconds (like with Mario's cape stalling or Jigglypuff's rising pound), and purposely SDing will lead to disqualification.
6. Chain grabs, spamming, suicides (like Ganondorf's and King Dedede’s) and locks are allowed. No johns about players who do any of these things excessively. It’s YOUR fault if you can’t get past them. Play to win. All of these are legitimate strategies and can be overcome. Personally, I’d recommend counterpicking stages if you really have a problem with them.
7. No pissing.
8. No moaning.
9. A combination of 7 and 8 will not be tolerated either.
10. Each set is only one match. Once you're done, you go on to challenge someone else. Each round, you can only decline one challenger but you also have the right to over-ride one challenge each round. Each round goes on until a set number of people left. For example, round 1 ends when there are eight people.
SUPER HELPFUL HINT Y'ALL: It may be in your best interest to gain up on the better players as to increase the chances of later rounds being easier. Just be aware that this will probably involve at least one or two people purposely taking a dive for the sake of other players. Regardless, it may play out well for you if you can cause one of the bigger players to take a dive by working with other players.
DON'T EVEN TRY TO CHEAT: YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO AT LEAST TWO MATCHES PER ROUND. IGNORING AN OPPONENT'S CHALLENGE WILL GET YOU DISQUALIFIED. PLEASE REFER TO RULE NUMBER ONE FOR MORE DETAILS CONCERNING ALL OF THIS.

1. "What if my opponent doesn't show up?"
I will personally be sending a PM to everyone about a week before the tourney starts to let them know that they entered. If they still don't show up, you'll be the one that advances while they'll be disqualified IF you are here.
2. "I loathe Metaknight/Snake... Can't you just ban them?"
No, I can't because all characters are legal in this tournament and that would go against the nature of competitive smashing. If you really have a problem with these characters, pick carefully who you want to use and learn how to properly counterpick stages. It may still be a hard fight but making the right decisions will help lighten the load.
3. "My opponent *insert attack/tactic here* too much. Are you seriously going to allow it?"
Read rules 6-9. Play to win even if it means playing outlandishly gay to get the upper hand.
4. "There's a buttload of lag, what should I do?"
Play through it unless it's absolutely game stopping then the situation will be dealt with accordingly. It's one of the curses of online play, unfortunately. Play at your own risk.
5. "This is my first online tournament... I'm scared...hold me... what should I do?"
Do your best. The purpose of your first tournament is to evaluate your tactics/playstle and learn about the various people you'll be butting skulls with if you decide to join more in the future. Learn who they main and what they do. Don't be overly concerned about how high you place. To put it bluntly, if you expect to win your first tournament with ease than you're a moron.
6. "If I don't make it to the quarter finals, does that mean I'm a failure at life?"
No; don't be overly concerned about how you place but, rather, who you beat. If you lose to someone you normally 3 stock on a regular basis, there's definately a problem. If you beat someone who has won or made it to the quarter finals in any of the online tournaments here, you should accept it as a pretty big accomplishment if you've never done so before. Trust me, people are going to care a lot more if you three stock someone like Zeonstar in the first round than if you don't even make to the quarter finals. Again, it's a learning experience so treat it as such.
7. "What's your next tournament going to be?"
Something involving stuff.
8. *random question here*
BS statistic time: 95% of the questions commonly asked can be answered by reading the first post.
9. "How do I get in contact with my opponent?"
Like always, I'll be providing a chatroom to use during the tournament. Hopefully the Friend Finder will be up again soon and we can use that too. If, for some reason, you can't use either of these, simply use PMs.
10. "I have a friend/brother/sister/cousin/land lord/insurance agent who wants to play too; can they enter?"
Why yes; yes they can. If you are sharing the same Wii, simply make a note of it. Also be sure to tell me which name they want to go by and which character they want to use.
11. "What's the best way to practice for this tournament?"
Just ask people for matches. Honestly, one of the best things about these tournaments is how close some of us have become. On the weekends, I'm available just about anytime so feel free to hit me up if you need help or just want to fight. Even though I use everybody, don't be afraid to ask around if you need help with certain characters. For example, Glyph is really good with ROB, Aryman is awesome with Snake, and Zeonstar is just plain scary with Ganondorf. If you want my recommendations for mains of almost every character, just send me a PM.
I hope this tournament will help the OTL board get back on its feet. With that being said, do your best to show up and bring your A game so this tournament series can be as fun as possible. Happy Smashing Everyone!
