Smash Champion
In case you've forgotten how great this tournament series is...
The search for a proper venue to continue the Tipped Off series at has been a long one, but I think I've come through with the goods this time:
US GAMING ARENA
10895 Alpharetta Hwy
Roswell, GA 30076
770-910-7951
Link to hotels near the venue:

13,000 square feet of venue-awesome
Includes 2 decks
A bar
And plenty of lounge space
This place has a marta bus stop within walking distance, and a hotel slightly out of walking distance that will offer free shuttling to and from the venue.
I'll have details on discounted rates up as soon as I talk to the hotel management.
I'll be updating this thread with visuals and airport/housing information as I get it, please be patient. =)
Registration starts at noon, tournament begins at 1pm.
15$ door fee
Now this is important- if you bring a gamecube/wii with a copy of melee your door fee will be cut to 12$.
The venue has plenty of TVs, but we will indeed need setups-
Singles Entry: 15$
1st- 60% *
2nd- 30% *
3rd- 10% *
Doubles entry: 20$ (10/person)
1st- 60% *
2nd- 30% *
3rd- 10% *
* = if attendance is large enough this will be changed to a split paying out to 5th place, following Hungrybox's suggested format:
40/25/15/10/5/5
General Tournament Rules
4 Stock, 8 minute time limit for both singles and doubles
Games are best of 3, Finals will be best of 5.
Pools will be done first if neccessary, followed by brackets. Both singles and doubles will be DOUBLE ELIMINATION.
Doubles Team Attack is ON, LIFE stealing is allowed.
BYOC: I dont think this should be a problem anyways.
In the case of a GameCube/TV malfunction, the game will be restarted from the beginning, no matter what time it crashed.
All decisions made by tournament officials are final.
Players must conduct themselves in a reasonable manner. Permanent ejection of a player from the tournament is at MY discretion.
Any sign of cheating will also result in forfeit of the game.
Any intentional forfeiting or conspiring to manipulate the brackets will result in ejection and possible suspension from future tournaments.
Controller mods of ANY kind (short-hop mod, L-trigger mod, etc), except for cosmetic changes (paint job, different colored plastic), are banned. Tournament staff may randomly inspect any controller at their discretion. If you are caught using a banned controller you will be immediately disqualified from the tournament.
Turbo or programmed buttons of any kind are banned. You may use third party controllers or pads that have these features, but if you are suspected of using the banned features you will not be allowed to use that controller any longer.
The stage for Game 1 will be selected through STAGE STRIKING.
Double Blind Rule: For the first game of a series, a player may call for a double-blind pick. This means that all participating players must tell a judge the character they will use for that game. Each player is required to use that character in the game.
Singles random select stages: Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams, Dreamland 64
Doubles random select stages: Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Dreamland 64 & Pokemon Stadium
Stages not listed on the random select list that are not banned are open for counter picks by the losing player.
Stages banned for Doubles Only: Fountain of Dreams and Mute City.
Stages banned for Singles & Doubles: Yoshi’s Island (Pipes), Fourside, Hyrule Temple, Flatzone, Brinstar Depths, Icicle Mountain, Big Blue, Mushroom Kingdom 1, Venom, Yoshi's Island 64, Peach’s Castle, Kongo Jungle, Onett, Great Bay and Green Greens.
WOBBLING IS BANNED
After characters have been selected for the first game, each player/team may choose one stage from the available tournament list that won’t be used during the series.
Dave's Stupid Rule is in effect. (The loser/counterpicking player may NOT choose to counterpick the stage they last won on in the set.)
After each game of a series, the player who lost the previous game may choose the stage for the next game or elect for it to be chosen randomly. After the stage has been selected, the winner of the previous game may change characters. After the winner has chosen their character, the loser of the previous game may change characters.
