General Rules



    • Items are set to off
    • Stock and time are set to 4 stock and 8 minutes, respectively
    • Wobbling is legal. Wobbling past 250% will be considered stalling and is not allowed.
    • Double Blind: If elected
    • Contest Port Priority: If elected
    • Neutral Start: If elected
    • DSR: You cannot counter pick to any stage you have won on ever.
    • Gentleman’s Clause: Any stage may be played on if both players agree to it. This rule takes priority over DSR. Players may NOT agree to change the number of matches to be played.
    • Forced Character Selection: Off
    • Matches that time out will be determined by the remaining number of lives, then percentage of the current stock. In the event of a percentage tie, the match should be replayed in full. Sudden Death is not to be played, and will not count. A player/team may not counterpick to the stage they last won on. This includes the first match won via stage striking.
    • Pausing the game shall only be legal while either player remains upon their OWN respawn platform, and only for the purpose of summoning a tournament official or in the case of a controller malfunction. All other pauses will incur a stock loss to the player who pauses the game.
    • Any coaching that happens during the match (but not in between matches) is restricted. Players who violate this rule will receive a warning (BOTH the player AND the person coaching the player) on the first attempt. Players who violate this rule after a warning will be disqualified from the event and a possible ejection from the venue.
    • Players are to attend their matches at the designated times they are called. If you are late to a match, the following rules will be applied based on the amount of time:
      • If you are 5 minutes late: Results in a match loss
      • If you are 10 minutes late: Results in a set loss
      • These times will be strictly enforced to make sure that each player will enjoy the full event on a timely manner.
Additional Rules for Teams Play



    • Team Attack: ON
    • Life Stealing is allowed
    • If the game is paused accidentally while attempting to steal a life, the opposing team may deem that life forfeit. Wait until the announcer has finished saying defeated before pressing start, or turn pause off prior to beginning the match.
How to Play a Set



    • Players select their characters. Either player may elect to Double Blind
    • Use Stage Striking to determine the first stage
    • The players play the first match of the set
      Prior to starting this match, either player may elect to Contest Port Priority or Neutral Start. Note: Only one of these two may be used, as both have a built in Port Selection mechanism using RPS. If there is a situation where a player would like to change which option they elected after playing the game of RPS, it is the opponent’s choice to allow it. The results from the previously played game of RPS will carry over.
    • Winning player of the preceding match bans a stage/stages (if applicable).
      For Best of 3 sets, each player gets 1 stage ban.
      For Best of 5 sets, there are no stage bans.
    • The losing player of the preceding match picks a stage for the next match.
    • The winning player of the preceding match may choose to change characters.
    • The losing player of the preceding match may choose to change characters.
    • The losing player of the preceding match gets first pick of port. Either player may elect for a neutral Start, but RPS will not be played to determine first pick.
    • The next match is played.
    • Repeat Steps 4 through 9 for all subsequent matches until the set is complete.
Term Definitions



      • Double Blind: Either player may request that a double blind selection occur. In this situation, a 3rd party should be told, in secret, each of player’s choices for the first round. Both players are to then select their first round character, with the 3rd party validating that the character selected is the same as their word.
      • Contest Port Priority: If an agreement cannot be made as to who gets what port, the players may enact a best of 1 game of Rock Paper Scissors. Winner gets their port selection, loser selects any other port.
      • Neutral Start: Either player may enact this rule. Once enacted, both players may only use one of the two “Neutral Starting Positions”. A best of one game of Rock Paper Scissors may be used to determine who gets the higher port. If one player elects to Contest Port Priority and the other elects to Neutral Start, Neutral Start takes priority.



      • DSR: A player/team may not pick any stage they previously won on.
      • Gentleman’s Clause: Any stage may be played on if both players agree to it. This rule takes priority over DSR. Players may NOT agree to change the number of matches to be played.
      • Forced Character Selection: The losing player once had the option to select Random Stage as their counterpick and remove the option to change characters from the winner of the previous round. This is no longer legal. If a player wishes to select Random Stage as their counterpick, the winner of the previous round may choose to change their character.
      • Stage Striking: Players eliminate stages from the Starter/Neutral list until there is one stage remaining.

i think you know
It's not as good as you think if you aren't good enough (like a top 5 players)
It's just get in, get out very quickly and you get limited satisfaction ...........(insert sex joke here)
And unlike the pros(titutes) you don't get paid for it :dkmelee:

Gold Coast dudes!

Awesome tournament!

The venue is fantastic and red dik you lessly good value.

Having a sausage sizzle so people don't have to **** off to get food is amazing.
The day runs SO much more smoothly as a result.
And 5 minutes from the beach.

Broken!

Yeah gotta admit the venue, despite looking like I was gonna get mugged when I arrived, was pretty damn awesome. And the sausage sizzle was awesome too, thanks to the guys that volunteer to cook that up.

Had a sweet time, GGs to everyone. Can't wait for the next gc tourney.

In the immortal words of some Victorian commentating a samus ditto money match at shadowloo
"that tris seems to know what he's doing"

Congrats to g$, tris and the choking pupster crew for winning (your welcome)

Great tourney, but in the future, if I'm paying $10 for singles, I best be getting free sausages, or split the fees into $5 entry, $5 singles entry and $5 for all the sausages and soft drinks you want or chuck some money's towards a doubles pot (but that's my opinion)

Anyway, great day, lotta fun, the best venue, craving the next one (provided its after all the exams)

Very valid opinion, we'll be changing around the pricing for the next tourney to make more sense and be more suitable for everyone. Prepaid food and doubles pot are great ideas and we'll look into all of it before next time.

Surprised it went so smoothly anyway, glad people seem to have enjoyed it.

Can't believe the timing.

I got my copy of smash on Saturday, found this forum on Sunday, and after reading the competitive forum, thought I should look around for a local gathering.

Searched for one this morning and realised this event ran yesterday, less than 5 minutes from my house.

Stoked there is a monthly event, but gutted I was too slow to get involved.

Sounds like it was great fun and well run. I'm very much a noob, but would love to drop into the next event and meet you folks.
