Hello everyone.So I'm browsing Midwest and can't help but notice Brawl has NO Michigan tourneys. Naturally I figured something really needs to be done about that and so here this is. This is only my second attempt at hosting a tournament since my first one through, so a little help from those with more experience in the area would really be appreciated.



Location
Game Yard
29552 Ford Road
Garden City, MI 48135-2318
Get Directions

There are a few places to eat in the area within a bit of a walk and quite a few more if you're willing to drive a bit.



Date and Times
7/10/10

12:00 - Venue opens
1:30 - Doubles registration ends
2:00 - Doubles begins
5:30 - Singles registration ends
6:00 - Singles begins
Later - Cookout maybe?



Prices and Payout
Venue Fee - $5*
Brawl Singles - $10
Brawl Doubles - $10 per person
*Venue fee will be refunded to anyone bringing a full setup who stays for the entire event. A full setup is a TV and a Wii with a copy of Brawl with all characters and legal stages unlocked. Fee will be refunded if someone brings a setup for doubles and leaves before singles starts.

Payouts will be:
Singles, >= 15 people
1st: 48%
2nd: 22%
3rd: 14%
4th: 8%
5th: 4%
5th: 4%

2nd: 30%
3rd: 10%

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



Rules
- 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.

Also, at least two of the setups will be HDTVs. Component cables will be used to minimize lag, however if you are still concerned there could be an issue you can request not to be put on them during registration and I'll do my best.

I guess I'll list it July 3rd for now. I'm a littles concerned with it being a holiday weekend so it could change.

Imma also see what I can do about perhaps getting a barbeque and having a cookout after the whole thing's over. Depends on if I can get a little extra money for food and a grill.

well seeing that the tourney is planned for the day before july 4th it would only be a guess of mine that it would occur on the weekend of the 4th. I dont think i'd be able to go on the 3rd

Yeah, I was kinda concerned about making it a holiday weekend, but didn't think too many people did anything the day before July 4th. Oh well, I changed it to the tenth to avoid that and give people more time to make arrangements.

That date looks fine, might have some family still here, but I don't think that should really influence my ability to go to this. Just gonna have to make sure I can get a ride from ori

I can vouch for the Gameyard as an excellent venue, I go there for the biweekly Street Fighter ranbats.

Only possible problem I see is setting up CRT instead of LCD TVs, but other than that it's solid. I'll see what I can do to make it.

I need a partner. I'm not even bad, just no one knows about me. 2nd highest placing Kirby at The Showdown, next to Y.B.M Lmfao, he is too pro. I should be able to go on the 10th.

I might go to this. I can try and convince my friends to go so I don't spend a lot of money. But if I do go, it's with 3-4 people :p

Hopefully work doesn't eff me over and have me work until close (8:30) It usually isn't the case though if I do work Saturdays.

Post this on AiB IMO. :D
Done :)


Thanks to everyone who has shown interest in this. Sorry for my lack of presence in this thread. I'm going to try to redo the first post today to add a few thing and hopefully make it a little nicer.
