______________________________

The Unity Ruleset
-Version 1.3-

General Gameplay Rules
3 Stocks
8 Minute Time Limit
Items set to "Off" and "None"
All infinites and chain grabs are legal.
Meta Knight's Infinite Cape Glitch and Extended Cape Glitch are banned.
There is a Ledge Grab Limit of 35 for Meta Knight and 50 for all other characters. If a game goes to time and one player goes over the Ledge Grab Limit for their character, they will automatically lose the game. If both players exceed their Ledge Grab Limit, then this rule is ignored.
The act of stalling is banned: stalling is intentionally making the game unplayable: Such as becoming invisible, continuing infinites, chain grabs, or uninterruptible moves past 300%, and reaching a position that your opponent can never reach you.
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.
If the Ledge Grab Limit does not declare one player the winner, the winner will be declared by what the game says in all situations, except for when players are presented with sudden death:
In the event of a match going to time, the winner will be determined by who has less percent (stock difference still takes priority but will be shown in the results screen).
If the match ends with both players dying at the same time (either coincidentally or via suicide move) or if time ran out with both players at equal percent, a one stock three minute rematch will be played on the same stage. For a tie-breaker match, a Ledge Grab Limit of 13 is used for Meta Knight, and 18 for all other characters.

Modified Rules for Doubles
Team Attack set to "On"
Life stealing is allowed.
In the event of a game reaching the time limit, if a single player on a team exceeds their Ledge Grab Limit, that team loses. If one or more players on both teams exceed their Ledge Grab Limit, then the Ledge Grab Limit rule is ignored.
In the event of a game going to time and the Ledge Grab Limit can not determine a winner and both teams have an equal amount of combined stocks, then whichever team has a lower combined percent is declared the winner.
If a player is using the character Pokemon Trainer, Lucario, or Sonic, either team may request that team colors be changed to make it easier to tell the difference between team players.

Set Procedure
Player Priority is determined if it can not be agreed on. (See below for details)
Each Team selects one controller port to use for each Player.
Each Team selects one character for each Player. A double blind pick may be called by any player.
The first game is played on a Stage selected from the Starter Stage List either by mutual consent or through the Stage Striking Method. The order of stage striking will be 2-3-1 (Team 1 strikes two stages, followed by Team 2 striking three stages, with Team 1 then striking one of the two remaining stages).
The first match is played.
The team that lost the previous match may opt to re-pick controller ports (with themselves picking first).
The Team that won the previous match may announce one "Stage Ban" if they have not already done so in this set.
The Team that lost the previous match announces the stage for the next match from either the Starter or the Counterpick Stage List. Any Stage named as a "Stage Ban" by the either Team may not be selected. No Stage may be used by a Team that has already won on that Stage in this set.
The Team that won the previous match chooses one character for each Player.
The Team that lost the previous match chooses one character for each Player.
The next match is played.
Repeat steps 6-11 for all proceeding matches.

Determining Player Priority
If there is a dispute in controller port selection or initiating Stage Strike use the following method:
Teams agree to Rock-Paper-Scissors, otherwise it is determined with a coin-flip. The winning Team shall either elect to have first choice in port selection or first choice in Stage Strike. Whichever Team does not receive first choice in Port Selection will be compensated with first choice in Stage Striking.
Note: In Doubles, port selection is ordered 1-2-2-1 fashion (with Team-1 having first choice in controller slot select, Team-2 having both second and third choice, and the final slot going to Team-1).
Stage List


Conduct Rules
BYOC (Bring your own controller): Players are expected to bring their own controller and be prepared for every tournament set.
Pause can be requested off and that request cannot be denied. If one pauses mid-match, the person who initiated the pause loses their current stock. If the pause causes the opponent to lose their stock (Such as interfering with recovery), the person who initiated the pause loses two stocks.
Players who use the Wii Remote must take the batteries out of the Wii Remote when not playing. If the Wii Remote is still synced up to a Wii with the batteries in, you could unintentionally disrupt a match. If problems persist, a DQ may happen.
You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility (including battery issues with a Wii Remote), so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. Both parties need to agree if a match is to be paused or restarted because of these problems.
Intentional forfeiting, match fixing, splitting, and any other forms of bracket manipulation are not allowed and punishable by the TO.
No substitutions are allowed for singles or doubles.
Coaching is allowed only between games, not during. Failure to adhere to this will lead to punishment at the TO's discretion, which could include the removal from the venue.
DQ Rule: Arriving too late for a match will result in a DQ. Player(s) will have 5 minutes to show up before a loss of the first match. 5 more minutes results in a loss of the set. For doubles, both players on a team need to be present in order to play.
The tournament organizer has the right to save/record any tournament match if possible and has the right to upload said match.
Regarding textures and other game hacks:
Players may request that any texture, stage, or other hacks be disabled during a tournament set. If this is unable to be done, they may switch to a different setup if available.
The BBR-RC recommends players do not use intrusive texture and stage hacks.
Players are not allowed to use any game altering hacks, such as no-tripping or model hacks. If someone is caught setting up a system they brought with such hacks enabled can face punishment at the TO's discretion.
Disrupting your opponent physically or intending to disrupt their play (through something such as screaming in a player's ear) will result in a warning. Repeated action will result in disqualification from the tournament and possibly ejection from the venue. Observers who physically disrupt players are to be dealt with as the Tournament Organiser sees fit. Disqualification is recommended if possible, and ejection from the venue is also a punishment.
•These rules are subject to change leading up to the event date. The Tournament Organizer reserves the right to remove you from the venue at his discretion for any reason.

•The Tournament Organizer and his assistents, and any persons helping run the event may not be held liable for any lost, stolen, or damaged goods during this event. Nor will the Tournament Organizer, the venue, its owners, affiliates, employees, members, sponsors, or volunteers be held liable or responsible for any injury or harm that may befall a person during the course of this event. By entering the venue during the posted date you are displaying your agreement with this policy.

The side event this time around? THE GANON CHALLENGE

(Copy+pasted [with a few edits] from the San Antonio thread. Much love to my hometown <3).

The Rules
1. 1 Player vs. three Ganondorfs played by PR-Ranked players.
2. Team Attack Off, with time limit set to 10 minutes.
3. Smashville ONLY.
4. The player attempts to take off as many stocks as possible. The key word being "attempts".
5. Each person will be given two tries.

Like any other side event, this will have an entry fee of $5, and the 4 (or 5) people who took off the most stocks will receive the appropriate payouts. To serve as a tie-breaker, we will also be writing down the amount of time you remained alive in your matches.

I think G&W has a pretty good chance at the Ganon Challenge. He can duck under a lot (If not most) of Ganon's moves.

I don't think so, I mean, if I went to Genesis I would want to join in at a tournament as soon as possible so that I could show off my new skillz. Though, that is just me, and maybe I am just weird.

The main reason we're holding one on the 23rd is because it's the last free weekend before school starts (or so I'm told). Nevertheless, if those people who attended tournaments this weekend find July 23rd to be too soon, please let me know soon so we can reschedule.

Also Jane vs. Yoshiken Ganondorf ditto match, best of 5, as a side event for the tourney after this one. Everyone can place bets. :)

So what if "15 people confirmed", who says they wouldn't confirm the weekend after? I actually want to go to tourneys this season, and if one is this weekend, assuming you have one 3 weeks after, I can't go to that either because I have hella stuff to do for the first 2-3 weeks of school, so that'd be 3/4 tourneys I'd miss.

I swear to god, if I don't get on a fucking black pr because "15 people confirmed", I will kill all of those 15 pieces of shits.

You don't understand how important a bunch of africans on a .png made to represent the skill of people at a children's video game means to me.

Don't worry I know how much it means to you, haha. Ultimately, since you made a formal request, I will put you as a high priority when deciding the dates for all further Phoenix tournies this season. But to be fair to everyone we shouldn't be postponing a tournament just for one person (in this case, two: you and Jane). I do however apologize for not posting the tournament thread earlier so people could have had more time to provide feedback on the date.

But this brings up an important topic...since Tucson is now hosting tournaments that will be counting toward the season's tourney count (they definitely attract enough skilled players), it would probably be best to raise the tournament count to 5 per season, for the fact that not everyone can (or is willing to) travel 2 hours to the other city to play in a tournament. Panelists, do you think this is a good idea?

If delaying it for a week doesn't stop anyone else from coming, I don't see why it can't be done.

Pretty greedy of me, but meh. On the otherhand, if it cuts attendance by more than 2, I totally understand not delaying it.

After participating at Genesis 2 I'm wanting to get back into competitive brawl, I may go to this if I can find a ride.

Super bummed that Yoshiken and I won't be able to make it to every season tourney anymore. :( I work Saturday mornings 'til about 1:15pm, so getting to Tucson on time is out of the question.

... Unless the tourney start times are changed from 2:00 to 3:00, then we could just barely make it late to Pools.

Considering I started pools at 3 when I heard people from out of Tucson were coming that isn't that ridiculous a request. All I ask as a TO is that if you are coming from out of city to let me know ahead of time so I can make some arrangements to make the tourney run more smoothly, especially as I would love more Phx people showing up to promote the rising Tucson scene

I reaaaly feel like the side event (a.k.a THE GANON CHALLENGE) should be after/or very late into the main bracket. Or maybe not do an Amateur Bracket and do the side tourney there instead. With the projected schedule posted, 6pm is real late to start main bracket, we would definitely not be able to eat chinese food, or many other places really.

12:00PM- Friendlies/MMs/Warmups
2:00PM- THE GANON CHALLENGE
3:30PM- Pools
6:00PM- Pro bracket (double elimination) & Amateur pools


i should be a mandatory ganon btw... i AM the only ganon main left in az after all :yeahboi:

I will end BOTH of your Ganons with my Ganon.

Okay, after taking into account your feedback the time schedule for the tourney is now:

12:00PM- Friendlies/MMs/Warmups
3:00PM- Pools
4:30PM- Brackets (double elimination)
6:00PM- THE GANON CHALLENGE (after TVs during the brackets open up)
7:30PM- Chinese Buffet

And to MMZ, as long as you arrive before pools start (3pm) you should be good to go. But if you happen to be unable to make it in time for pools but arrive before brackets start, we can still throw you into brackets (and if time allows, we'll let you do some matches beforehand to determine seeding).

haha no way we can make the buffet at 7:30, but it's the right idea.

and MMZ, just get here before 3 and you'll be good, even before the bracket starts and we can throw you in, albeit with bad seeding though for missing pools.
