Stage striking still works with a player striking 1 stage, then the other player striking 2, then the first person who struck gets to strike another map. The winner of the round gets to strike one map and the loser picks from the remaining maps, including counter-picks. We'll mainly be following these rules http://www.ssbwiki.com/Tournament_legal_(SSBM)

If you're bringing Project M make sure you get the Full Set not the WiFi Safe Set. Music mods are allowed, but that is it. No character, texture, or any other mods. Stage striking works similar to melee but stages will be struck in a 1 stage - 2 stages - 2 stages - 1 stage order to pick the first stage. The winner gets to ban 3 stages and the loser gets to pick any remaining stage from the starters and counter-picks.

Prizes have been changed to CASH.

We are new to Smash tournaments so please feel free to make suggestions.

Just a suggestion, make it a 2$ venue fee and a 5$ tournament. Xanadu charges 5 at the door and 5 per tournament and they get 40+ entrants.

Xanadu is also in the middle of Baltimore. We are in a rural area and catering mostly to college students with little or no funds. Anyway, we're cancelling this event. Apparently there are two other events going on at the same time. I don't know if we will have more in the future, but for now Smash at High Tide is postponed indefinitely.

 

[Hey_Its_Nacker]

If you didn't already know most tournaments cost 20-30 dollars to attend (10 venue and 10 per tournament) and they are planned in advanced (MD facebook page) so other tournament organizers can know when to plan their event.
