Important!
If you have Any questions, you may direct them at either MattDotZeb,
myself (ElendilAndurilz), or **** Tom.

Rules:

- All tournaments are double-elimination, which means that after you
lose your first match, you enter into a losers bracket, and play
against other people who have lost. If you've lost in the losers
bracket, however, you're out of the tournament. The winner of the
losers bracket plays against the winner of the winners bracket in the
finals. The losers bracket finalist needs to win two sets, however, as
the winners bracket finalist has yet to lose a set.

- Matches are best out of 3 with advanced slob picks and dave's stupid
rule (which are explained below). ALL finals games (This includes
losers bracket finals, winners bracket finals, and overall finals) are
best of 5.


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 Stupid Rule:


No stage can be played more than once per set unless agreed upon by
both players.

- 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 counterpicked 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

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, Peach's Castle, Onett,
Kongo Jungle (DK Rap), Jungle Japes, and Green greens.


Mages DQ Rule:


2 Minutes Late – Warning
4 Minutes Late – Loss of first match of set
6 Minutes Late – Loss of set


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. For example, the Ice Climbers Freeze Glitch.

- Wallbombing and Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery.
Stalling a game with any of these tactics will result in a loss of the
entire set.

- 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.

- 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 warmup time.
Once the tournament has progressed specific setups will be open for
friendlies only.

- Wobbling is B-A-N-N-E-D. No johns.

- PLEASE watch the ammount of profanity in the air. **** Tom (of all people) pointed this out last time. 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.

Setups stuff ^.^

We're hoping for
12-16 ish setups (depending on the turnout) to be able to run everything as easily as
possible.

We will be offering rides from the commuter rail all

First I think.

Elen extend this one more week over to the 15th and I might be able to make it!

Ride situation set aside.

I like the advanced slob picks, unlike the other tournaments around NE where they use ZoSo's counterpick rule.

The 15th is a Maine tournament, though.

But it might not matter considering Maine probably can't even attend some of their own tournaments anyway.

This is open for discussion if you want *shrug* Most of this post was a copy paste job ;)

Edit: There banned for now Dave. If anyone wants to argue for them, go right ahead.

Double Edit: If EVERYONE really wants, I can try to convince GU to switch this tournament with the Halo one. I can't promise anything though, and I'm only going to try if I really get a unanimous consent to do so.
