Lately many people have been complaining that Michigan needs more tournaments yet nothing has been done. Gentlemen (and the one or two ladies we have XD) Ori and I present to you the next Gameyard :D We had a great turnout for the last one and its time we have another one. Let's make this a great way to start off the fall season.

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

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. There is a Kmart across the venue also.

12:00 - Venue opens, Registration for all events opens.
1:30 - Brawl and Melee Doubles registration ends.

Rules: Brawl Edition
- 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.

- King Dedede's standing infinites and ledge infinites are banned.

- Marth's infinites of Ness and Lucas are banned.

- 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.

Housing and Carpools

I will opening up my home to a few people that are traveling from afar for this event. Friends get priority over strangers. If anyone else if offering housing I will post it here. Also if anyone is offering carpooling services i will post it here also.


Setups

WE NEED SETUPS. Unless you want to play on those laggy HDTVs they have I suggest you guys bring televisions. If you plan on bringing a setup let me know.

No melee doubles? I can safely say West Side won't be attending then and probably no one from the Chicago area.

I don't have a problem with Melee doubles..if we get enough people for this. If you can promise more people for this event then sure. Its just that a lot of times Melee doubles never gets started because of the lack of people is all. I'm all for it though personally.


EDIT: Screw it I added it to the OP lol

Even if there aren't that many people for it. Velynn, Bigy, and Shade pretty much won't to go to a tourney if there won't be doubles. So, by automatically excluding it like your post shows, it pretty much defeats their whole reason for going. That's all I'm saying.

True so I added it anyway. I figure if there arent enough people we just wont have it. Might as well include it if we are doing Brawl doubles anyway. So it's added. Tell the West side :D

If we go, I'm sure that won't be an issue. It'll probably be a snug fit though, which is fine cause you have dibs on my lap. I'll mention it to Bigy and Velynn when I talk to them.

^ Yessir. Ori I hope you dont mind however Louis and I teaming for this one. We are training for doubles on aib and want to test the fruit of our labor at this tournament.

Also Gameyard requested if we could make a flier so I can email it to them so they can post fliers up at the venue. And YESSSSSS a banner for this would be ****. I have the ability to throw monthlies here. I am aiming to make this Michigan's new regular thing. I promised Michigan tournaments and I deliver.

Work has been called off.

Pretty much guaranteed to come.

I'm willing to drive Ann Arbor people if they throw in 5 bucks for gas. Price might be reduced if I get the whole car filled. If you don't pay me, I won't drive you in the future till you pay me back. lol

marth and link on teams? that actually sounds kinda sexy. Ping runs with marth and me him do pretty well considering that he sucks, but we'll see what happens.

tech-malice said he'll team with you at the tourney, so this upcoming wednesday wen we have our smashfest, we can practice our team set-ups. (note: i think ping and dbiz are trying to run some smash this sunday if you guys interested in helping them step their game up. i can only help them so much and i think advice from others would be very useful)

Pacman I won't home until Sunday afternoon but I'd probably be down if I'm not drained from the Cincinatti trip. I do agree we should help them out and help them step it up.

And yesss Malice and I are gonna ****.
