MELEE RULESET

- Matches are best out of 3 with advanced slob picks and dave's stupid rule (explained below). Losers Finals, and Winners Finals are best out of 5, with Grand Finals being best out of 7.

Advanced Slob Picks:
The first game in a set is double-blind, and the stage is random (using the random stages listed in the stage selection section).

The following applies to any game in a set played after the first:
The loser of the previous game declares the stage to be used, using any stage that isn't banned. The winner of the previous game then chooses his character. Lastly, the loser of the previous game chooses his character, and the game can start.

- Dave's Modified Stupid Rule: No stage may be used twice in a single set if the player choosing already won on that stage.

- All games are played with 4 stock, 8 minutes, and no items. Any tie that occurs is settled by comparing stocks remaining (More stocks = win). If there is a tie remaining after comparing stock, compare damage % (Less damage % = win). If a tie remains after comparing stocks and damage %, play out sudden death.

- Before any stage is selected both players may agree to play on a specific stage or to not play on one of the random stages. (If both players don't like Battlefield, then you can agree that Battlefield will not be played if it comes up as the random stage)

Stage Striking:
At the beginning of the set, each player may strike one stage from the random list.
(It is only banned from the random selection, and can still be counter-picked later in the set)

Stage Selection:

Singles Random List: Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story,
Dreamland 64, Fountain of Dreams, and Pokemon Stadium

Teams Random List:
Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story,
Dreamland 64 and Pokemon Stadium.

Stages that are only banned in Singles: Great Bay (Termina), Mushroom Kingdom II

Stages that are only banned in Teams Only: Fountain of Dreams, Mute City, Onett.

Stages banned for Singles and Teams
: Yoshi's Island (Pipes), Fourside,
Hyrule Temple, Flatzone, Brinstar Depths, Icicle Mountain, Big Blue,
Mushroom Kingdom 1, Venom, Yoshi's Island 64, Mute City, Peach's Castle, Kongo Jungle (DK Rap), Jungle Japes, and Green greens.


Additional Rules:

• For teams play: team attack is on, and stealing stock is allowed.

• Players may have a coach that can give advice to a player for one minute in-between games. As soon as the stage is declared, the coach must not say anything to the player (in terms of advice) until the match ends.

• Glitches that freeze a character, freeze the game, or simply make the game unfinishable are banned and using them will result in losing the entire set.

Mages DQ Rule:
• • • 2 Minutes Late – Warning
• • • 4 Minutes Late – Loss of first match of set
• • • 6 Minutes Late – Loss of set

• 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. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.

• Controller mods of ANY kind (short-hop mod, L-trigger mod, etc), except for cosmetic changes (paint job, different colored plastic), are banned. If you are caught using a banned controller you will be disqualified from the tournament with no refund.

• 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. Failure to comply can also result in disqualification.

• Money Matches and friendlies: Keep in mind tournament games take priority over you. Try to get them out of the way during warm-up time. Once the tournament has progressed specific setups will be open for friendlies and money matches.

• Do not leave during the tournament. If you leave and you have a match called during the time you are out the Mages DQ rule applies to you.

• PLEASE watch the amount of profanity in the air. This store is generally considered a family friendly area, and there are small kids and their parents that show up to these tournaments. Do your best to watch yourself, we don't want to give the smash community a bad name.

banks is too fast for banks's own good

you should add the tvs provided to the store so we don't end up with extra tvs

Make it top 4. That way, Bobby could still place outside of the money but it'd increase the exclusivity of doing so.

He'd be the hipster of placing outside of the money.

It would be 10% for 4th, and 5% for the 5th place player.

Also, I sort of want to try something to make a 6th place, since 5th would be getting in the money.
Normally there are two people who place 5th. I'm thinking that, to get placed 5th and 6th, I will have both those people play in a Bo3 or Bo5 set. Loser gets 6th.

If the people tied have already played in the bracket, the person who won that set gets 5th as to not waste time.
However, if time is very permitting and that is the event, I could have them play a set of Bo3 until one of them leaves with winning two sets.

Full 1-5 payouts would be:
48% / 22% / 15% / 10% / 5%

I would like that, as I've stated I think paying top 5 eventually levels off into bringing more people into the community if you would advertise the tournament.

It also furthers the competition to those who normally wouldn't get top 3.

However I'm for it either way, I don't want to just start changing things that will upset others.

How about this.

Over 30 entrants, you pay to top 5
Under you pay to top 3.

Is everyone ok with that ratio?
It's arbitrary but I was just thinking of good sized NE melee tournaments vs smaller ones.
