Heir II is still the second largest Melee tournament Europe has ever seen in terms of player entrants and we've spent the end of 2015 and the start of 2016 discussing how we could potentially improve the already great Heir II and i think you'll appreciate what we've done! We've taken your advice on board to make sure you have the best time possible.
The term #MoreThanATournament refers to our intent for the tournament to have a nice, friendly, sociable atmosphere that is ran by the community, for the community but which is also a highly competitive event that has a much higher pot size then the previous tournaments in the Heir Series.

Tournament Rules
- At the start of the set, the players will play rock/paper/scissors, with the winner being granted control. Whoever has control then gets to force their choice of Port Selection (if they choose). If they do, the other player has control for stage striking. If they do not force port, they retain control going into stage striking.
- In game one the players select their characters before the stage has been struck to. If the players cannot agree on which character they will play in game one or believe that they are being counterpicked, either player can call for a double-blind character selection.
- For a double blind pick to take place, both players agree on a neutral adjudicator. Both players then communicate in secret which character they intend to play in game one to this neutral party. The adjudicator then reveals which character both players selected. They are then locked to this character for game one.
- Modified Daves Stupid Rule (MDSR) is in effect: You cannot counterpick the LAST stage you won on in a set.
- Advanced Slob Picks (ASP) is in effect: Subsequent games will begin with the previous winner banning N stages (game specific) from the list of available stages (random plus counterpick), then the previous loser selects a stage, then the previous winner selects their character, finally the previous loser selects their character.
- A player can select a stage that they themselves banned earlier in that set.
- Any stage can be selected for play if all players are informed and agree to its selection.
- Stalling tactics such are banned unless used for recovery.
- Wobbling is allowed up to 300%.
Melee
4 Stock
8 Minutes
No Items
1 stage ban (No bans in best of 5 sets)
- If the timer runs out the player with the most stock left wins. In case of a stock tie the player with the lowest percentage wins. If the percentages are tied, the players will play a 1 stock, 3 minute game to settle the tie - this is to be played on the neutral stage (the stage struck to in game 1).Repeat these rules until there is a winner.
Stagestriking will be used for game one. How does stagestriking work:
- Whichever player has control decides who strikes first. The first player can strike a stage from the 5 random stages. Then the second player strikes 2 stages followed by the first player striking 1 more stage. One stage from the random stages will remain and this stage will be played for the first match.
