Hi there all,
I'm planning a small-time tournament with some friends of mine. If everybody comes, that's ten people. It's supposed to be double-elimination with prizes for the top three. I've never planned a tourny before, and have little experience in the tourny scene.
Basically, I need some help with my rules and what not. :/
Here's the schedule:
1) Everybody arrives.
2) Friendlies.
3) Tournament starts.
4) Snacks and awards.
5) Rock Band until it's time to go.
How long should the whole thing last? As in, from when to when? This is going to be on a Friday, which means we have a lot of time.
Four stock, 8:00 time limit, no items (duh), best of three until Semi-Finals and Finals, when it's best of five. Double blind character choice first match of set, random neutral stage. What's the character-stage selection after that?
Neutral Stages:
Final Destination
Battlefield
Smashville
Lylat Cruise
Yoshi's Island
Delfino Island
Banned:
Hyrule Temple
New Pork City
Custom Stages
25m
Pictochat
Wario Ware
Rumble Falls
Summit
That Moving Mario Stage
All walk-offs (Eldin Bridge, etc)
All others are counterpick.
Thoughts?
Banned tactics:
Excessive stalling
Suicides (?)
Physically hampering the opponent out of game
The prizes are going to be a 15$ giftcard to Gamestop, 10$ giftcard to Gamestop, and a bag of candy. I don't want the losers to feel left out (I'm a softy, I know); what would be a good pity prize for them?
Help? ^^;
