Controller rules:

1. Bring your own!!!
2. Controller mods of ANY kind (short-hop mod, L-trigger mod, etc), except for cosmetic changes (paint job, different colored plastic), are banned. Tournament staff may randomly inspect any controller at their discretion. If you are caught using a banned controller you will be immediately disqualified from the tournament.
3. Turbo or programmed buttons of any kind are banned. You may use third party controllers or pads that have these features, but if you are suspected of using the banned features you will not be allowed to use that controller any longer.

Stages:

Random select:
Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, [DK 64, Rainbow Cruise(teams only)], Dreamland 64 & Pokemon Stadium, [Fountain of Dreams (singles only)] .

BANNED.
Yoshi's Island (Pipes), Fourside, Hyrule Temple, Flatzone, Brinstar Depths, Icicle Mountain, Big Blue, Mushroom Kingdom 1, Venom, Yoshi's Island 64, Peach's Castle, and Kongo Jungle, Onett, Great Bay, Mushroom Kingdom 2 and Mute City(teams only)

Counterpick.
any non-banned stages are open for counterpick.

Stage & Character Selection:
The stage for Game 1 will be selected at random unless both players/teams can agree on a stage. After the stage has been randomly selected each player/team may call for a reset. Each player/team can only call for a reset once during a series. If a reset is called, another stage must be randomly selected. The stage that was first selected can't be randomly selected again, but is still available for a counter pick.
No stage may be used twice in a Best of 3 or Best of 5 Series.
After characters have been selected for the first game, each player/team may choose to knock out one stage. Stages that are knocked out won't be used during the series. Random select stages can't be knocked out. The lower seeded player/team must make their knockout selection first. Once the first game has started, stages can't be knocked out.
After each game of a series, the player who lost the previous game may choose the stage for the next game or elect for it to be chosen randomly. After the stage has been selected, the winner of the previous game may change characters. After the winner has chosen their character, the loser of the previous game may change characters.

Other Rules & Special Issues
1. Any unnecessary pausing of the game will result in a forfeit of that single game.
2. Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (Mewtwo's Soul Stunner, the Ice Climber freeze glitch), or any glitch or trick that freezes the game or makes it unable to be finished are banned and will result in the immediate forfeit of the entire match.
3. Tactics such as Peach's Wallbombing and Jiggly's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or to maneuver around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath, is banned. If by using one of these tactics, you have put your character in a place to lose a stock by ending the tactic, a judge may force you to stop and lose a life and continue the match short a stock.
4. A staff may choose to ask players to pause for any reason at all if you do not pause the match will be a forfiet and will need to be redone from the beginning

Cover price is because it's not my house and I'm kind of paying my parents to not make a big fuss... Anyways we will have SOME snacks and drinks. We will also have other games at the tournament such as "Immaterial and Missing Power," "Melty Blood Act Cadenza" and "Naruto Shiipuuden." We will be going to Mcdonalds for dinner after Singles Reg. end. Those who do not wish to go must wait outside the house or go to another restaurant.

BRING TVs AND CUBES!!! Oh, and some power strips!!! It would really suck to have a tournament with only one TV.

If you have any questions post them here or IM me on AIM. MY AIM s/n is ma573rk. Also post where you are coming from and if you can give rides so people can ask for rides. Thanks!

I may be able to have someone meet people at forest hills if you are taking the train or bus.

I'll be there/running this tournment.

MM for everyone.

Except for Matt.... Burger match?
Dude, Matt owes you like 2 burgers! LOL

BTW There is Burger King, McDonalds, and Taco bell near my house. We will be going to one of those. We will choose when we are on our way since they are all next to each other and we can walk to all of them.

Attention:
Upon entering the house you will be asked for the cover price of $5, you will then be handed a name tag and a marker. Put your smash name on the tag and give the marker back. Then wear the tag so we know you payed. If you are caught without a tag, you will be kicked out. The only time you can get in for free is after 10PM which is pointless to come then...
Also, I am hoping that Dark Cloud will bring his projector so we can project the brackets onto a wall.

For those taking the busses and trains:
Go to forest hills which is on the orange line then take the 35 to fairlane road stop. Make sure to ask the bus driver to stop for you at fairlane road 'cuz youve never been there before as you get on the bus and sit near the front so the bus driver can talk to you if he/she needs to lol. Anyways once you get off at fairlane road you walk the way the bus came from to house number 2465. The street is obviously centre street. Anyways it should be the house after the house that the bus stops in front of (going towards the direction the bus came from).

Update:
Ending time changed from 11PM to 7PM
So whatever event is happening at 7 will be the last. This is most likely enough time to have 3 out of 4 of the events. The endurance match doesn't really matter anyways.

Update:
Since the tournament is only going 'till 7PM we are now going to go to get food after the last event. This way we can have low tiers, singles and teams. After teams we will be leaving. If you choose to go with me, I am going to mcdonalds which is right next to taco bell and burger king and in walking distance from my house. For those who are taking the bus to my tournament I will either have someone show you the bus stop closest to my house for the way back or I will show you myself. Otherwise carpool or whatever you need. Kthx.
