"Safe Haven" is a new tournament series that I will be hosting at my home for 3-4 times each year.
The name refers to being, in contrast to other smashfests in Vienna, in a drug-free setting. Neither alcohol nor tobacco nor illegal drugs will be permitted on the location, including both inside the building and outside in the garden.
Breaking this rule or other house rules will result in being banned from attending future events at my place.

Date and events:
2016-07-02 (Saturday), 11:00 to 23:00.
There will be a Melee teams double elimination bracket and Melee singles pools, with a double elimination bracket afterwards.
The tournament will finish within one day, but limited housing from Friday to Sunday is possible (7 people at most).

Entry fee: 5€ (compensation for power usage, hardware used for streaming, vegan food).
Teams pot: 5€ per player, payout: 50/25/12.5/6.25/3.125*2. Bracket starts at 12:00, money must be paid by 11:30.
Singles pot: 5€ per player, payout: 50/25/12.5/6.25/3.125*2. Pools start at 15:00, money must be paid by 14:30.
_________
15€ in total.

Location:
Aschergasse 70, 1130 Vienna.
Close public transport stations: Haus Föhrenhof (56A, 56B), Riedelgasse (60)

Singles Stage List:



- Battlefield
- Dream Land
- Final Destination
- Fountain of Dreams
- Yoshi's Story

- Pokemon Stadium (excluded from the striking process)



Doubles Stage List:



- Battlefield
- Dream Land
- Final Destination
- Yoshi's Story
- Pokemon Stadium




Character & Stage Selection Process:




Striking:
- Alternating Character Selection* is used to determine the characters for game 1.
- Striking is done in the form A-B-B-A to determine the stage for game 1 (Player A strikes 1 stage, Player B strikes 2 stages, and Player A strikes 1 stage).
- For singles, Pokemon Stadium is excluded from the striking process.
- If striking order or controller ports cannot be agreed upon, the winner of a single Rock-Paper-Scissors game can either choose who strikes first or who chooses their port first. The loser gets to choose for the other option.


Set Lengths:
- All sets from Winners Semis and Losers Quarters on are played as best of 5.
- All other sets are played as best of 3.


Counterpicking:
1. The winner of the previous game chooses their character.
2. The loser of the previous game chooses their character.
3. The winner of the previous game bans a stage.
4. The loser of the previous game chooses a stage.

- Bones' Stupid Rule: You cannot ban the same stage twice.

- Bans are temporary and do not carry over to the next game's stage selection.
- Random is not a legal counterpick.



General Rules:




- Pause is disabled.
- Items are set to off.
- Stock count is set to 4 stocks.
- Time limit is set to 8 minutes.

- All other game rules are set to the default.
- Stalling* is banned.
- Wobbling is legal.
- Freeze Glitch is banned.
- For Doubles, Team Attack is On, and Life Stealing is allowed.




Tiebreakers:



- If both players have the same number of stocks when the clock runs out, the players should do a 2-stock, 4-minute rematch with the same characters and stage.
- If both players have the same number of stocks at the end of the tie breaker, the tie is broken by percent damage (least percent wins). In the event of a percent tie, repeat the tie breaker until a winner is decided.
- Super Sudden Death should not be played out..




Other Rules:



- Players have 2 minutes to strike their stages for game 1, and 2 minutes between matches to make their character and stage selections.
- Warm-ups before a set may last no longer than a minute. Warm-ups between games are prohibited.

- Announced sets are to be played as soon as a setup becomes available. If one or both parties delay the start of the set by 5 minutes without a good reason or the TO’s approval, the first match is lost for the delaying player or team. After another five minutes, the entire set is lost.

- Forfeiting or being disqualified may result in a player being eliminated from both Winner's and Loser's Bracket at the TO's discretion.
- If there is any dispute over which version of the game is to be used, the most common version in the region is the default (NTSC 1.2 in North America; PAL in Europe).
- Neutral Start*
- Coaching and Harassment* are banned.
- Gentleman’s Agreement*

- The M2K rule: By entering the tournament you agree to play your matches on the setup requested by a TO (whether it be a stream, recording, or non-recording setup).


*Alternating Character Selection: Players each select a character and can take turns altering their choice. Either player can accept the character selection at any time after their opponent's last alteration (and before their own). If this process begins to loop with neither player willing to accept any of the selections, then the players must do a double blind selection with a third party official. A double blind may not be requested as the initial means of selection.


*Stalling:The following techniques are banned when used as a means of timing out the opponent: Sing Ledge Stalling (repeatedly putting the enemy to sleep), Rising Pound (no more than 2 consecutive Pounds when the intent is to waste time), Peach Wall-Bombing, wall jumping on the bottom of Battlefield, Luigi Ladder (or similar techniques) in teams, keeping Fox or Falco locked in shine with Fox's laser, and Wobbling past 300%. The use of any of these techniques results in the immediate disqualification with the exception of certain extenuating circumstances (stage changes preventing reliable KOs or situations in teams when both opponents are alive and one is not being Wobbled).

*Neutral Start: Before any match, a player may request that both combatants start from neutral positions. If this is elected, at the start of the match, both players position their characters at the edges of the stage. When the timer reaches 7:55:99, both players may start to move.

*Coaching and Harassment: Coaching includes any form of communication between a player and non-player (communicating with teammates in doubles is acceptable). Cheering from the crowd is permitted so long as it there is no form of advice or personal derogatory statements being conveyed (this does not include impersonal trash talk related to a player's gameplay). Players are not to receive coaching, including in between games, or to leave the station once a set has begun. This includes back-to-back sets with the same opponent.

*Gentleman's Agreement: If both players can agree on a rule different from any of the above, they may play with that ruleset instead. Any rules not specifically agreed upon are assumed to be the default as dictated by this ruleset. A ruleset cannot be agreed upon if it changes the total number of games and/or makes it possible for a set to exceed 8 minutes per game. The tournament organizer is not responsible for enforcing any agreements made between players; make "gentleman agreements" at your own risk.

Toilet use: only sitting down. If you think that's weird: here or here are explanations for why that's the proper way. I'm not willing to clean all toilets after every tournament, so please take this seriously.

Banned:
  • Permanent: Alcohol
  • Permanent: Cigarettes and other stuff that's consumed by smoking
  • Permanent: kiw1, Fox128

Entrants

Limit of 32 for now. Might be increased to 40.
