GATOCon is the first anime and game convention hosted by Texas A&M University-Kingsville and its organizations, Gamerz Elite and Otaku Anime Club. As fans we know that it can be a little difficult getting to that other convention a few hours away, so we decided to bring the fun a little closer to the Kingsville Area. Of course, if you’re from somewhere else, well we just wanted to offer you another convention in the year. At GATOCon, you can expect game rooms, table top games, anime viewing rooms, cosplay & contests, workshops, vendors (who sell all of your favorite merchandise), and of course ---- a RAVE!

RULES:
UNIVERSAL RULES:
-Coaching is BANNED. This means:
You cannot have someone sitting beside you advising you through a match.
You cannot have someone advising in between games.
You may not ask for counterpick advice on character [or stage].
From when you sit down (or stand, or lie down) to play, until the set is over you may not consult with anyone that is not part of the match.
The Referee is considered part of a match, only for issues dealing with the rules.
I will not hesitate to immediately DQ you from your match. Thank you very much.

General rules:
* 3 Stock
* 10 minute timer
* Items are set to "off" and "none"
* All sets with the exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches (best of 5 and above should be played out for any "finals" matches)
* In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors
* No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
* In team matches, the ports will be determined in a 1221 fashion; whoever wins the RPS will choose first, then the opposing team will get their ports, and then the teammate of the RPS winner will get the last port.
* If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.
* Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.
* Standing and small-step chain-grabs are banned.
* If a game ends with Bowser [and Ganondorf] doing his suicide klaw and it ends in sudden death, the sudden death will be ignored and that game will count as a win for Bowser [and Ganondorf].
* You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility, so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.
*Ledge-grab limit: 50
* 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.
* Stalling is banned.
Stalling: The act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling, while doing an infinite grab endlessly against a wall is. Any infinite chain grabs must end quickly after 300% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling.
Set format (In Order of Procedure):
1. Opponents choose their characters for the first match *
2. Opponents start the stage striking procedure
3. Each player may announce one stage to be banned for counterpicks of the set
4. The first game is played, using the stage chosen during step 2
5. The loser of the previous match announces the next match's stage from either the Starter Stage List or the Counter Stage List
6. The winner of the previous match chooses their character
7. The loser of the previous match chooses their character
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for all proceeding matches
*Double blind character selection may be called for the first match
If anyone has any questions on the rules of the other tournaments, post up and I will find out for you.
