"May the fuel of my anger, intensify my urge to be victorious!!!"What: MOST ANGRIEST SHINOBI (M.A.S): HOLIDAY "BROKEN" CHAIRS!!!
AND WE'RE GETTING SERIOUS!!!
When: December 5th 2009
Why: Grrrr...
BECAUSE I SAID SO!!! SHOW UP OR ELSE!!! Games played at this tournament: SSBB Doubles/Singles, SSBM Doubles/Singles, Brawl + Singles only, Soul Calibur 4, and Naruto Revolution 3.
What time does everything start? Casuals/Registration start at 10AM. First tournament(s) start at 11:30 - ish AM sharp (lol). NO EXCUSES! NO WAITING (I can't stress this enough)! NO PROBLEM (you guys read it here first)! See "TOURNAMENT TIME SCHEDULE" for more details.
Where:
J. Jireh's Coffe House (interesting name IMO
)Address: 1704 7th Street Winthrop Harbor, IL 60096
Chicago Guys/Surrounding Area folks (hopefully this saves on gas, stress, or both)...
For those who are willing to catch the train, there is a Metra Train that will drop you off within 3 blocks of the M.A.S tournament venue (J. Jireh's Coffee Shop). Link provided below:

Here is the full schedule and time slots available:
http://metrarail.com/metra/en/home/maps_schedules/metra_system_map/up-n/schedule.full.html
* PLEASE NOTE: Remember that prices vary based on how far you are traveling. Be sure to arrive at your train stop 15 mins BEFORE your train is schedule to depart from that stop. When on board sit tight and a conductor will walk pass and collect your monies. Be sure to listen for your automated calling for your stop. Gotta be on the ball, because they stop and go at train stops QUICK. It's somewhat easy to skip when you were supposed to get off...and that would SUCK, if you missed your stop.
Venue Fee: $7
Other info: Okay so this place is like the reverse Screenz (where we ran the CoB series). And TRUST ME, that's a good thing! The upstairs of the venue is spacious - filled with lighting, windows, a promising mic stero system (and oh yes I tested it hehe), comfortable charis, and a great deal of walking space (depending how many people come to this lol). And the downstairs in a lil smaller but EXTREMELY cozy and comfortable (kinda has that "at home" feeling. That is where our smaller tournaments will be ran). To the east of the building/venue there is a parking lot dedicated for us. It should be able to hold 20 vehicles no problem. But if we need extra parking space, there is an aditional parking lot across the street that belongs to the venue. The venue is clean as HELL. Oh man it's so nice!!!
And being that it is a cafe, many many mnay goodies will be available for sale. Sandwhiches, sodas, pizzas, chips, muffins, bagles, coffee, cappuccino, ice cream, shakes/malts and etc. all for your convenience to purchase at affordable prices (I mean this is WI afterall lmfao). Finally, there are two exceptional hotels about 5 minutes away (I'm sure rooms there are no more than $60 a night. I will post more info about the hotels asap). For folks 21+, there is a nice bar right next to the venue and a couple more in the area too. There's gas stations, pizza joints, a Subway , and other gift stores in the area too. This is a GREAT VENUE!!!PLEASE NOTE:
* If you bring a full setup (t.v/system/game), THAT WE USE FOR A TOURNAMENT, you pay ABSOLUTELY ZERO venue fee. Full setups brought come on a "first come first served basis". So get there early and register your setup to get that discount.

- 11AM - SSBB Doubles Tournament starts
PLEASE NOTE:
* That we WILL RUN SSBB Singles Pools as soon as SSBB Doubles is finished. So there is NO SET TIME when SSBB Singles Pools will start.

- 1PM - Naruto Revolution 3

- 6PM - SSBM Singles Pools starts (YES THIS IS THE "SET" TIME SCHEDULED TO START. After SSBM Singles Pools is over there will be a short 15 min break. And then the SSBM Double Elimination bracket will start. If SSBM Pools aren't had, then we'll just run the Double Elimination bracket first..)

- 1st: 60%, 2nd: 30%, 3rd: 10%
Payouts for all other fighting games:
- 1st: 70%, 2nd: 20%, 3rd: 10%
Rules For Tournament Games:
PLEASE NOTE:
* Tournament games will be held upstairs in the venue. Casual gaming (Rock band, other various fighitng games) will be held downstairs. NO, and I repeat, NO Money Matches (MMs)...are to be had during the tournament (unless I say otherwise). PLEASE! I want this tournament to flow as smoothly as possible. Do MMs before/after the tournament. If I call your name and you don't come, and I find out you were MMing you'll get disqualified and sent to losers/put out of the tournament if you were in losers.
You get 2 mins to report to your match (This will now be know as the "WTF Lain!!!" rule
.If you're money matching on a brawl setup, and it's needed for tournament, you'll be kicked off of that setup. No waiting til the end of match.
Hope everyone understands this.
... <3* SSBB Singles
During Pools (this may apply to SSBM or ANY fighting game that has the "pool" feature):
Pools work like this:
You play vs. a selected (seeded) handfull of players in round robin. Whoever (could be more than one person, depending on how many advance outa pools) has the best record, advances to the double elimination bracket.
Less than 36 people play in pools = we'll have a 24 man bracket
More than 36 people play in pools = we'll have a 32 man bracket

ANY STAGE THAT IS NOT MENTIONED ABOVE IS BANNED!!!
Set format:
1. Opponents choose their characters for the first match
PLEASE NOTE:
* Double blind character selection may be called for the first match if needed. A T.O will come and keep track of what characters are used by players.
2. Opponents start the stage striking procedure. (Who starts will be decided by playing SHANKING FIST aka RPS). Then each player will alternate striking a stage until there is 1 left. That stage is played first round. THERE IS NO RANDOM UNLESS AGREED UPON.
3. Each player may announce one stage to be banned for counter pick 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.
Additional Rules:
- Stalling is Banned!
- If you use any controller styles that use the wiimote you will be responsible for removing the batteries inbetween your matches. Failure to do so can result in a DQ.
- In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by playing SHAKING FIST.
- No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
- If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.
- Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.
- If a game ends with Bowser's Suicide Claw or Ganon's Arial Choke Slam the player who performed the move wins!!!
- 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.
- 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: 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 most end quickly after 300% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling. Also, deliberately avoiding any and all combat is stalling, where as jumping on and off the ledge doing an aerial at your opponent is simply spacing.
So with this said...
- King DeDeDe's/Any standing chain grab is banned.
- Marth's hold release infinite vs. Lucus/Ness is banned.
- You are ONLY allowed 50 planks (catch edge. release edge. repeat) a game.
