Current SET-UP
6 CRT's and set-ups will be filled in by a few of my friends
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
- A controller.
- Possibly Melee
- Cash. I do not accept entry into singles or doubles with anything other than physical cash. No debit or credit. Make sure you have enough on you beforehand!
- Your friends. The more people that show up, the more matches everyone gets to play!
WHAT ARE THE RULES?
- Items are set to off.
- Stock and Time are set to 4 stock and 8 minutes, respectively.
- Double Blind*: If elected.
- Contest Port Priority*: If elected.
- Neutral Start*: If elected.
Note: Only one of these two may be used, as both have a built in Port Selection mechanism using RPS. If there is a situation where a player would like to change which option they elected after playing the game of RPS, it is the opponent’s choice to allow it. The results from the previously played game of RPS will carry over.
- Standard DSR*
- Gentleman’s Clause*
- Forced Character Selection*: Off
- Matches that time out will be determined by the remaining number of lives, then percentage of the current stock. In the event of a percentage tie, the match should be replayed in full. Sudden Death is not to be played, and will not count.
Additional Rules for Teams Play
- Team Attack: ON.
- Life Stealing is allowed.
- If the game is paused accidentally while attempting to steal a life, the opposing team may deem that life forfeit. Wait until the announcer has finished saying defeated before pressing start, or turn pause off prior to beginning the match.

General Knowledge
Players are responsible for their own general welfare in regard to the tournament environment. In other words, players are responsible for:
- Venue and Entry Fees
- Arriving On Time
- Maintaining Personal Hygiene
- Controllers and Character Knowledge
- Minimizing Whining
Term Definitions
- Double Blind: Either player may request that a double blind selection occur. In this situation,
one player leaves the room, or turns back to the television, TV muted, other player selects char, player not looking at TV announces char, chooses char, double blind done. Can also be done with a note-pad app on phone or a third person
- Standard DSR: A player/team may not counterpick to a stage they have won on
- Contest Port Priority: If an agreement cannot be made as to who gets what port, the players may enact a best of 1 game of Rock Paper Scissors. Winner gets their port selection, loser selects any other port.
- Neutral Start: Either player may enact this rule. Once enacted, both players may only use one of the two “Neutral Starting Positions”. A best of one game of Rock Paper Scissors may be used to determine who gets the higher port. If one player elects to Contest Port Priority and the other elects to Neutral Start, Neutral Start takes priority.
- DSR Modified: A player/team may not counterpick to the stage they last won on.
- Gentleman’s Clause: Any stage may be played on if both players agree to it. This rule takes priority over DSR.
- Stage Striking: Players eliminate stages from the Starter/Neutral list until there is one stage remaining.
Maestros - There is a local pizzeria around the corner, a group of us could pitch on a tray, they have individual slices, and subs as well.
